Rick Basmagy, Haunted House Actor: It's All Halloween (S3 E7)

Kites and Strings

In the spirit of Halloween, we're interviewing the haunted house actor, Rick Basmagy, an actor with the premier NYC haunted house, Blood Manor. Just looking at the image selected for this episode, you'll see that the Halloweening that Rick engages in is not child's play. We added a link to an article about Rick and a colleague below and by following that link, you'll see many more frightening images.
In this episode we learn of his unlikely path to haunted house actor, we learn some of of the pitfalls, and a bunch of valuable, behind-the-scene information about costume cleanliness, the user experience and finding inspirations for your next costume. Oh, and there's a healthy shout out to cos-players who seem to have mastered some of these principles.
