Show Notes Chapter Markers

This week on Haunt Weekly, we're talking about shadowcasts, including what they are, why you should check them out and what haunters can learn from them.

For those who don't know, shadowcasts are when performers pantomime the film while it is being screened. Most commonly associated with Rocky Horror, many other films have been getting the shadowcast treatment, including Repo the Genetic Opera, The Room, Dr. Horrible and more.

So sit down, or rather stand up, as we discuss the art of shadowcasting.
