Description:

A look at how the Depression and US 1930's morals created an industry that Disney revolutionized and now terrifies millions of people each season. This is for the *Special* Holiday Season of the Creating Christmas podcast. I feature interviews with the foremost scholar on Halloween, the Godfather of Haunted Houses, and a haunt owner who created her haunt from scratch.
