Created in celebration of Dent’s 30th season, each episode explores the people, creativity, history, and controlled chaos behind one of America’s most legendary haunted attractions. Along the way, listeners will also experience selections from Dent’s original music library and exclusive cinematic tales inspired by the dark halls and sinister legends of the schoolhouse.
