Episode 65 of News Man Weekly sets the tone with a spooky twist as Carl, Zac and Hayden gear up for the Halloween season. The trio trades NFL Week 2 overreactions, recaps the buzz from the Budweiser Clydesdales’ appearances across the region and dives into local headlines — including a federal lawsuit against Mansfield police, the latest in Shiloh’s “unauditable” finances and more.

This week’s guest is Vic Amesquita, owner and operator of Blood Prison at the historic Ohio State Reformatory. Now in its 10th season, the Midwest’s biggest haunted house continues to push the limits of fright with new sets, actors and surprises every year. Vic talks about his early days in the haunt business, how the prison’s eerie architecture elevates the experience and what fans can expect when Blood Prison opens its cell doors on Sept. 26. From Halloween haunts to holiday spinoffs, it’s a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to run one of the nation’s premier scare factories.
