For most of the year, my dad was a mild-mannered banker, avid bowler, and frustrated architect. But, in October, he transformed himself into "The Count" and used his design skills to build out one of the most popular haunted houses in Chicago for over twenty years. A steady cast of werewolves, Frankenstein's monster, creepy cavemen, and assorted ghouls and goblins waited in the darkness to scare the crap out of people. In this episode, I have an exclusive conversation with one of the "original monsters," Sam "The Mummy" Wright, who drank the tanna leaves and went off in search of victims on Berteau Street back in the day.
