Willy Vodka from Creepy Hollow Haunted House takes us through his journey as a scare actor, sharing the art of creating fear and his personal brushes with the truly terrifying. Willy reveals what drives someone to make strangers scream for a living. Learn about the full-contact experience where actors can grab, pull, and drag visitors into their worst nightmares. Willy breaks down how his character evolved through eight versions, and why making people cry is the ultimate validation for a scare actor. The episode takes a darker turn when Willy opens up about his near-kidnapping experience in Mexico, a hazardous material exposure that almost killed him, and unexplainable paranormal encounters at the Haunted Hill House in Mineral Wells.
