Professor Anomalous Kristen Phillips, Controller of the Critter

Professor Hanf-A-Domous Rich Hanf, Head Master of Detention

No school or university would be complete without a place to send their WORST STUDENTS!!! It's called detention.

Who better to serve as "Head Master" (because he spent so much time in detention himself) than the man in charge who's livin' large…he's rollin' into Scare "U" with his trunk of funk where he'll be standin tall and doin' it all. He's the N.J. Legend, he's the Icon of the East, he's "HORROR MASTER" Rich Hanf!!!

Professor MacCabre Ricky Dick, Master of the Painted Arts

Ricky and Karen Dick have been long known for their theatrical Halloween event Castle Blood, now getting ready for its 16th season in SW Pennsylvania. Castle Blood combines story telling, magic, and true interaction with the public to send patrons on a bizarre quest to solve the problems that are laid out before them for the night. The Castle is a very character driven attraction and actors from all over the U.S come to take part. Half of the present cast has been participating for over 10 years.

As their alter egos, Gravely and Grizelda MacCabre, Ricky and Karen and many of the other Castle's Denizens have turned those talents to the small screen. Castle Blood's Midnight Monster Hop combines the couple's 30 years of experience as costumers, performers, and haunters into a new take on the Horror Host Genre. They have combined their attraction and the TV show into one seamless event.

Every Saturday night at midnight, all year round, Castle Blood fans can tune in to Pittsburgh's RTN channel, throughout all of western Pennsylvania or on CSMTV in southern Maryland to see the goings on at the Castle when the public isn't there. Gravely hosts a classic B movies for the evening while the rest of the cast goes about their "normal' routine" and viewers are all welcomed along for the ride. They also use their show to highlight and promote Haunted attractions, often using haunt footage from around the country in the show

Not content with just entertaining western Pennsylvania, plans are currently under way for the show to be broadcast in other states as well.Episodes of Castle Blood's Midnight Monster Hop are now available on DVD. The DVDs can also be purchased at wholesale to stock haunted gift shops. Please come talk to Ricky and Karen to see how the show can be used free of charge for line entertainment at your event

Professor Scrye Chris Handa, Master of Spooky Magic

For 10+ seasons, he has worked with Castle Blood as "house magician" and magic designer/consultant for both the seasonal haunted attraction and CASTLE BLOOD'S MIDNIGHT MONSTER HOP, a weekly horror host with an ensemble cast that airs in several markets. Chris has presented spooky magic to several organizations outside of haunting, consulted with several attraction owners and managers, and has taught magic at numerous haunt conventions and gatherings since 2001. He has written two smaller publications containing his original magic scripts and is in the process of completing a larger book on his experience with the design and performance of magic at Castle Blood.

As a manager/administrator, Chris' attention to detail has put him in lead positions with theatrical events, conventions and gatherings, camp programs, and haunted attractions and events. Chris has considerable experience in the area of event and volunteer management as a former Professional Employee of the Boy Scouts of America, and has a knack for both finding seemingly-impossible solutions to emergency problems and finding ways to get paying customers to empty their pockets of cash before leaving events. With Castle Blood, Chris works on the administration/operations side with concession/front of house operations as well as in his role as Safety/Compliance Officer. In the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, he is a registered Class I Amusement Inspector and is happy to share tips and advice to help other haunts work with their state and local officials.

Chris has worked in haunts since 1984 and is a fan of all types of haunted attractions from home haunts to county fair trailer mazes to the dark rides at Universal and Disney. He'll travel half a day just to see an attraction, and honestly believes that seeing any haunt is better than a day without seeing a haunt at all. He and his wife Kari have visited more than 100 attractions since their marriage in 1999. Their daughter Katelyn (4) has visited many haunts as well, but still isn't sure whether she likes all of them or not.
