Step into a world where Halloween never really ends.

In this episode of The Dark Carousel Podcast, we sit down with Panthemerman, the performer behind one of the most recognizable Beetlejuice characters in the haunt community. From his love of classic horror to the memories that first sparked his passion for Halloween, we dive into the story behind the character and the person who brings him to life.

We talk about the nostalgia of the Halloween seasons that shaped us, the excitement of becoming someone else for a night, and the dedication it takes to create unforgettable experiences for guests. For Panthemerman, haunting isn’t just about costumes and makeup. It’s about keeping the spirit of Halloween alive and sharing that passion with everyone who walks through the doors.

Whether you’re a lifelong haunter, a horror fan, or someone who still remembers the magic of Halloween as a kid, this is a conversation filled with creativity, passion, and a deep love for the season that never truly leaves us.

From the legendary halls of Statesville to the nightmare-soaked world of Hellsgate Chicago, Sharky has become one of the most recognizable and unforgettable faces in haunting. But behind the cracked makeup, sharp teeth, and terrifying grin is something even more powerful… pure passion.

This episode dives deep into the dedication it takes to live and breathe the haunt industry year after year. The long nights. The physical exhaustion. The emotional connection.
