In this episode of The Dark Carousel Podcast, we step into the fog-filled backyard of one man’s obsession, Dark Acres. For 13 years, John Acors has transformed his own home into a 2000 square foot haunted world, built by hand, fueled by heart, and opened for one night only on Halloween. What began as a small neighborhood scare has grown into a tradition that captures the spirit of what haunting is all about.

Every wall he builds and every scream that echoes through the night is powered by pure passion. John isn’t chasing fame or money. He’s chasing the feeling of keeping Halloween alive for everyone who still believes in the magic, the mystery, and the thrill of being scared. His story is one of late nights, creativity, and community.

Saving Halloween is a reminder that you don’t need a big budget or a massive team to create something unforgettable. All you need is heart, imagination, and a love for the season that never dies.

Buckle up haunters this is our longest episode yet and for good reason. We’re diving deep with the one and only Ms. Laurel (Angelica) a haunting legend whose name is carved into the very walls of Laurel’s House of Horror in Maryland.

With 18 years of experience, Ms. Laurel’s story is more than just about scaring. It’s about passion, purpose, and a love for the art that refuses to fade. Her dedication shines through every scream, every performance, and every night she steps into character. She embodies what it means to live and breathe haunting, inspiring others to chase their own creative fire without fear.

This episode isn’t just a conversation. It’s a celebration of resilience, artistry, and the unstoppable heart of a haunter.
