Reporter Megan Verlee: In a paint-splattered dressing room, Jesse Buchholz is transforming himself for a night at the Asylum, a haunted house in a warehouse in north Denver. The company is also the focus of Making Monsters, a reality show on the Travel Channel.

To start, CPR’s Megan Verlee takes us backstage at a Denver haunted house, to see what life is like doing some seriously weird seasonal work.Īnd host Ryan Warner talks with Ed Edmunds, founder and co-owner of Distortions Unlimited, a Greeley-based company that makes massive animatronics and petrifying props for haunted houses nation-wide. With Halloween creeping up on us, Colorado Matters takes a look inside the business of fright. They’re different spins on the haunted house, which open up this time of year. In once-empty warehouses along the Front Range, eerie things are afoot: hordes of the shambling dead, insane asylums run amok, demon-infested ruins.
