Speaker 1 (00:00):
A man who makes his living scaring people, and not
(00:03):
just by the way he looks. I mean, there's a
whole thing that goes on here. Nicholas Melton is the
GM of the thirteenth floor Haunted House. Nicholas, welcome to
the show. Having me, well, I got to ask right away,
did you always dream of working in a spooky business?
Or did you just fall into it?
Speaker 2 (00:22):
It's so funny.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
You know, if you would have told me that I'd
be running the biggest, most you know, well known haunted
house in the state, who told me that, you know,
three four or five years ago, I would have told you,
you're insane. It's I did absolutely kind of just fall
into it. But it's it's not completely outside of my
wheelhouse as far as my professional experience goes either, if
(00:43):
that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Oh yeah, how I mean, how did you did you?
Did you come how did you come into the haunted
house business?
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Yeah? Sure? So.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
I actually launched a entertainment concept down in Centennial in
twenty twenty one called Pindustry. It's a mass of places
like fifty six thousand square feet and I love it.
I launched that for I was there for about two
years or so, and when I decided to move on.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Just prior to that, actually thirteenth.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
For corporate team had their holiday party there, so I
met them.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
I met them all. They were awesome people. They were
having more fun than anyone else there.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
They really seem to enjoy Ea Shubber's company, which is
sometimes rare in the business world.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
God, I don't happen to work with A.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
And when I came back, I just saw an ad
for their class acts throwing GM positions. I took that
and it kind of just morphed into taking over the
whole property for them and managing the hot house as well.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
How long do you guys spend do you do you
start as soon as this year's Haunted House? Do you
start working on next year's?
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Oh? Yeah, absolutely. We do have a couple of off
season events.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
For instance, we have like a weekend in December called
for Crampus, kind of a holiday themed one, and then
again we do that for Valentine's Day it's called Love Bites,
and then one in the middle of May it's called
Halfway to Halloween, which is when we do our blackouts,
which is when we open the Hanted House but turn
absolutely every single light off.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Inside of it, so you almost have to feel your
way through it. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
But after the season ends, just after Trampis and the whole,
the whole kind of company goes dead for a couple
of weeks. We fired up and we are working on
the Haunted House the entire year just to get to
this season.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
What is the Do you have a theme every year
or some kind of guiding principle that you build the
Haunted House around.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Absolutely, yeah, so we do.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Because we are in corporate, we have many locations across
the country, so some of the themes. We have three
different themes this year within two hot Hanted Houses. It's
kind of confusing, but nonetheless the themes kind of basic
concept kind of comes centrally from one of our guys
out in Austin, Texas.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
And that's just the concept.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Though.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
It really is on each individual Haunted House and the
production director and the GM to really take that concept
and bring it to life, whether that's through the set design,
adding or removing things inside the hot house itself, but
also dressing up the actors, dressing up the bodies, make up,
all that stuff kind of goes goes along with the theme. Actually,
(03:10):
everything down to the sense. We actually have scented fog. So,
for instance, are our theme in the first house, This
here is called Nautical Nightmare, where Captain or Usty hook
Is is absconding with people's soul, of course, and yeah
and so, but even the fog we have in the
first house smells like saltwater, like seaweed.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
It's it's a very immersive experience intentionally.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
How many people do you have working year round? Like,
let's take out the scare actors. Let's just talk about
the people who actually construct this. How big is your team?
Speaker 4 (03:43):
It's me and two guys, well more than the production director,
Ryan McClellan, and then his his tech bones, and so
it's just the three of us that are full time
employed there throughout the year, and every single other person
we have on those grounds.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Is re hired seasonally. All my seat my managers, have
all been there for years. They all come back every year.
But we we swell up our ranks to about two
hundred or so. Right now, I have on my roster
who does.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
The actual constructing of the interior of the haunted house.
Because it's not just you're walking into an empty room
and getting scared. There's like a scene, right, I mean
you've got a whole like vibe going on. Who who
creates that?
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Oh? Absolutely, yeah, that is a Ryan McLellan. Yeah, he
was our production director.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
We do have He does have, like I said, tech help,
you know, just for extra hands sometimes, but he is quite.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Literally up there on ladders or you know, in building sets.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
We actually just built a dentist kind of photo hop
set up because we wanted to bring thirteen four out
to the Great American Beer Festival last weekend.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
So we had a whole photo out there with a
scared actor.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
And a whole dentist scene that we that we built
out of scratch that we transported down there and then
now is back at the Haunt now and is outside
as a photo op for our guests now.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
So it's one.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Hundred percent built now. No, that said, some of the
larger pieces French start. For instance, our Artiki tarot bar
that actually was measured here but fabricated in our shop
in New Orleans and then shipped here and then we
actually put it together and install it.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
So it's a little bit of everything. Okay, if that
makes sense.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
So what kind of scares can people expect this year?
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Well, so I was actually just talking to you a
rod before we came on here. We actually added something
last year called No Name is Clown Chaos, and what
that is is basically a blackout maze with claustrophobia bags
and clowns with chainsaws chasing me through it.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
So that one is not for the faint of heart.
I mean, it's that's horrible.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
That's at the funnest ones to watch people come out
of because they look like a different person after they
come out of that one. But addition to that, we
also have brand new media escape games too. We split
the Haunted House in half this year, so the line
of the weight and line is much less.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
And one really cool thing I wanted to share with
you this year is we have an Attic bar now
it's called the Attic. It's a bar.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Inside smack dab in the middle of the Haunted House,
so you can actually stop, pull off for a few,
have a seat, have a drink, and and really kind
of take in all that we have to offer, all
the sites, the sounds, the scense of the fog, and
we even have actors kind of strafing through that bar
to scared that you know what out of you while
you're trying to enjoy your drink.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Well, you know our our my producer, Anthony. He is
an experienced scare actor, but he wants to maybe try
for an audition here and maybe if he does really
well in this audition, maybe you can, you know, give
him a couple of shifts just to scare the crap
out of people this Halloween, because he loves that stuff.
Me not so much. So Arod, what are you? What
are you bringing to the audition?
Speaker 5 (06:37):
Well, got, I'm gonna. I'm gonna.
Speaker 6 (06:38):
I'm gonna be a clown in this audition for him,
live right now in the air. What's my what's my
clown name? You give me a clown name? Bo Cephas

Speaker 5 (07:05):
Eat them? Have a nice little snacky pot and I'm
gonna send you straight to hell. Nick Mountain, You're gonna
wish you never met po Sipas James.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
My man, Mamma, you are higher.
Speaker 1 (07:21):

a text for saying, Mandy ask him where someone would
go to apply to work in the Haunted House. You

Speaker 3 (07:36):
Absolutely well, So we are well, we always you know,
it's we're only halfway through the season a lot comes up,
so we're constantly.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Hiring throughout for sure.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
So if anyone that is interested in either scare acting
or a bartending or events staff, we actually are hiring
for parking lot attendants right now, would be great help
that they can just go to thirteen to four Haunted

Somebody asked if you have a short tour so they
can go straight to the bar. Is that a possibility

to the bar, you technically don't have to have a
ticket to come inside and hang out with us.
