Hey everyone, Dennis Spielman here—creator and host of the horror-comedy game show Haunted Shuffle! I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be at Soonercon this year, hosting a special horror-themed trivia game show on Friday, June 20th at 10 PM. Three brave contestants will be chosen at random from the audience to join me on stage and test their knowledge of all things horror—from movies and monsters to creepy real life stories and beyond. And yes, there will be prizes for those who survive the madness!

I’ll also be debuting a brand-new costume head design at Soonercon! This updated look not only helps me see way better than the old mask (finally), but it also looks way cooler—I think you’re going to love it.

As for Haunted Shuffle itself: I do plan to bring the show back for another season. While I’ll be honest that the first season didn’t perform as well as I had hoped, I’ve had a few folks reach out to me personally to say how much they enjoyed the series—and even asked if they could be a guest on future episodes. That support has genuinely meant a lot to me and has inspired me to give the show another chance.

That said, I don’t have a timeline just yet. I’m currently focused on other creative projects and client work, but know that Haunted Shuffle isn’t dead—just resting in its crypt for now.

Hope to see you Friday night at Soonercon for some spooky trivia fun! 🕸️🧠🕷️
