Hosted by actor Daniel Roebuck (U.S. Marshals) and Austin-based makeup effects specialist Bob Burns (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Howling), this Entertainment Tonight program takes viewers around the country to see various American Halloween traditions, such as haunted houses and hay rides. The video shows how horror movie effects are accomplished, and interviews various horror actors.
