What a week to have a news podcast. Though we were hoping we would be able to completely avoid talking about the coronavirus and leave that to the experts, the impacts on the haunt industry are officially far too great to ignore.So, for better or worse, that is the bulk of this week's news episode. I'm sorry it's a bit of a downer and just one more piece of COVID-19 news to throw on the pile, but it's the nature of the world right now and not something that can be ignored. This includes events that took place on Friday the 13th as we will look at how many took place versus how many canceled/postponed.So, without any further ado.

Haunt Weekly - Episode 223 - Why People Become Haunters
We haunters tend to be a strange bunch. We work insanely long hours under grueling conditions. We do it for little (if any) pay and, in return, we get to hang out in a macabre world our creation and, if we're lucky, scare some people.Why would people choose this? Why did we choose it? What possible force in the universe could make an otherwise reasonably sane peprson put themselves through all of this for a scare? It's easy to step back and say, "We do it because we're haunters," but that's not the answer. Why do people become haunters?To that end, we have some theories and we've tracked down five elements that go into making pretty much every haunter we've known. This Week's Episode Includes:IntroConference RemindersA Quick Update About UsWhy Haunters Are Strange CreaturesElement 1: A Creative SteakElement 2: A Wee Bit of MacabreElement 3: A Desire for Power or Lack of RestraintElement 4: A Desire for FamilyElement 5: A Pinch of InsanityHow to Apply ThisConclusionsAll in all, if you're a haunter, this is an episode that you do NOT want to miss!
