Officials detailed $90K in grants tied to Kissimmee mayor’s fraud arrest
Kissimmee Mayor Jackie Espinosa was arrested last week, accused of using her position to influence a city grant program that awarded $50,000 to businesses connected to her family. This isn’t new news for city officials — who narrowly voted against moving forward with the impeachment of Espinosa over the issue this past summer — but the state intervened last week in what some advocates worry is an attempt to intimidate or influence voters ahead of the Nov. 3 general election. Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier claimed that Espinosa attempted to “streamline” the application process and reduce oversight of the Kissimmee’s Business Boost 2.0 program, making it easier for herself and immediate family members to obtain taxpayer-funded grants. On Dec. 5, 2025, Kissimmee’s city attorney warned Espinosa that accepting the grants constituted a prohibited conflict of interest and advised her to return the money. State investigators allege Espinosa refused and took no corrective action.

Florida driver license data was reportedly breached
Orange County commissioners last week moved forward with a controversial tourist tax spending plan, despite hearing pleas from dozens during public comment to pause and reconsider. The $786 million spending plan includes $350 million in public money for an expansion of the Dr. Phillips Center, $52.5 million for a parking garage at Camping World Stadium, and $46 million for a UCF soccer stadium, among 10 other projects. The spending plan is funded by revenue collected through a 6 percent tax levied on hotel stays in the county, known as the tourist development tax. State law limits how that money can be used, largely limiting it to the funding of tourism marketing and promotion. Some Democratic state lawmakers have attempted to change the law so those funds can be used for transportation and affordable housing projects, but the tourism industry has successfully lobbied against such changes, swaying its allies (Democrats and Republicans alike) in the GOPcontrolled state Legislature.
access records on Sept. 4. The breach was mitigated, and the department is working with the Florida Digital Service and law enforcement in an ongoing criminal investigation. The department said access was acquired using the “credentials from an employee of a local Florida law enforcement agency, who improperly stored the credentials on an electronic device.” It is not clear why the department waited a month and a half to announce the breach. There is currently “no evidence” that any driver’s license or motor vehicle data has been misused, but the department says it will notify those whose information may have been affected by mail. That is, only if they have their contact information.

School board members can be deposed for removing library books, federal court ruled
A years-long legal battle over book removals in Escambia County has a new chapter. A federal appeals court ruled school members may be deposed about why they removed library books and classroom material. The lawsuit was brought by book publishers, parents and PEN America in 2023 after Escambia County officials voted to remove, at the request of a teacher and the superintendent, library books deemed to have “‘extreme sexual content,’‘LGBTQ agenda,’‘race-baiting,’‘graphic rape scenes,’ and ‘language,’” the suit explains. School board members claimed legislative privilege to avoid depositions. The appeals court agreed with the trial judge: Board members acted as administrators and not legislators when removing books and do not enjoy legislative privilege in this case. Escambia County’s library policy has accumulated a long legal history, including disagreements about whether a 7-year-old student should be deposed. The district argued the student should be, and he was deposed. In August 2025, a federal judge in Orlando ruled the state law banning school library books was “overbroad and unconstitutional.” That case was appealed to the 11th Circuit. Oral arguments were held in April.
A woman in a banana suit became an unlikely hero over the weekend as she responded to a car crash at the Moderne — a popular bar on Colonial Drive — early Saturday morning. The woman, Stephanie Oropeza, told Orlando’s News 6 that she and her fiancé were on their way home from a Halloween party early Saturday morning around 4 a.m. when they responded to the incident. No one was injured, but the building’s front patio suffered major damage. Video of the establishment’s exterior shows a car crashing into The Moderne, and then Oropeza, dressed as a banana, springing into action. The Moderne is now back open, although the patio is closed. As of publication, the Orlando Police Department has not yet released details about the car crash incident. Florida election officials said they saw federal immigration enforcement agents at or near two early-voting sites this week in Key Largo and Tallahassee, prompting elections supervisors to contact the FBI over concerns of potential voter intimidation ahead of the Nov. 3 midterm elections. Two U.S. Customs and Border Protection vehicles were spotted last week outside the Northeast Branch Library in Tallahassee, the county’s busiest early-voting location. The vehicles remained for approximately 10 minutes before leaving, according to the county Supervisor of Elections, who filed a formal complaint with the FBI despite receiving no complaints from voters. A day later, WPLG Local 10 obtained video reportedly recorded by a man who works across the street and was driving past an early-voting site in Key Largo. The footage showed masked federal agents conducting a vehicle stop near the entrance. Federal law restricts bringing armed personnel to polling places, with a narrow exception for repelling armed enemies of the United States. Election officials said federal authorities had previously assured them immigration enforcement would not occur at polling stations. The state Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles belatedly announced that a “malicious actor” breached Florida driver’s license and DMV data a month and a half ago. The department said an international cybercriminal organization used “compromised credentials” to orlandoweekly.com ● OCT. 28-NOV. 3, 2026 ● ORLANDO WEEKLY

PETRIFYING PASSAGE OF PANIC! An oral history of Terror on Church Street from those who lived to tell their truths BY SETH KU BER S KY
A
s another hectic Halloween in Orlando peaks, it can be challenging to recall a time when Central Florida wasn’t the country’s undisputed capital of spooky season, home to multiple top-rated theme park events, as well as numerous high-quality independent monster mazes. But while Universal takes a wellearned victory lap in celebration of Halloween Horror Nights’ 35th edition, it’s worthwhile to take a look back at another legendary Orlando haunted attraction that also debuted 35 years ago, and set a standard for screams that still echoes throughout the global haunt industry today decades after it disappeared. Terror on Church Street was the first (and only) American outpost of “Pasaje del Terror,” a groundbreaking chain of walk-through haunted house attractions that once stretched across Europe and still operates today in the U.K. Originally started in 1988 by Argentinian creators Fernando Quenard and Ignacio Brieva in Bilbao, Spain, the concept was transplanted to downtown Orlando by owners Antonio and Ramon Riba, who went on to build Pirates Dinner Adventure. Officially inaugurated on Nov. 8, 1991, with a grand-opening appearance by Psycho star Anthony “Norman Bates” Perkins, Terror on Church Street operated within a semi-derelict former Woolworth’s store at the corner of South Orange Avenue and Church Street. Inside, groups of up to eight guests at a time traversed over 20 terrifying rooms spread across two stories, surviving immersive scenes inspired by classic gothic genre icons like Dracula and Dr. Jekyll, as well as modern cinematic slashers — including an officially licensed Freddy Krueger, years before HHN made intellectual properties ubiquitous. At a time when Universal’s nascent fear-fest (then known as “Fright Nights”) featured only a single modest maze for a handful of evenings, Terror on Church Street offered a year-round experience that lasted about 20 minutes. And under the direction of David Clevinger,

Terror’s “Eternal Dwellers” in-house acting troupe elevated the art of scare-acting above mere jump-startles, crafting original characters and theatrical techniques whose influences can be seen in today’s haunts. At its height, Terror on Church Street had lines stretching around the block, as celebrities and tourists alike flocked to Orlando’s world-renowned downtown nightlife. However, after just under eight years it fell victim to rising rents, closing on May 2, 1999. Most of the props and set pieces were auctioned off to Church Street Station (which was not otherwise associated with Terror) for a short-lived revival at Church Street Exchange; many elements eventually made their way to Skull Kingdom, which operated on I-Drive from 1997 until 2006. The original location was razed in 2003 along with the rest of the “Jaymont block” to build the Plaza development (home of the now-defunct Plaza Cinema Cafe and a parking garage almost as scary as the attraction it displaced). But Terror on Church Street continues to live on in the memories of millions who got to experience it, as well as in the careers of its former cast and crew, several of whom continued on to important roles in the haunt industry, both in Orlando and around the world. We spoke to some key surviving players and asked them to reminisce about the highs and lows of this long-lost Orlando landmark for our exclusive oral history of Terror on Church Street. So read on, if you dare …
THEATER, NOT BLOOD
Alan Ostrander, head of makeup and character design:
It was the first time that someone had approached a haunted house from a theatrical standpoint. Before Terror, the standard had been blood and guts and scare them any way we can. We were just the opposite. None of us were haunters to begin with. We all had backgrounds in theater and the arts. … People would come out raving about the blood in the show, and we’d
ORLANDO WEEKLY ● OCT. 28-NOV. 3, 2026 ● orlandoweekly.com
always look at each other and laugh, because we didn’t have any blood in the show. It was implied. Walter Price, head of improv characters:
Terror was first and foremost a show. The characters had dialogue. The rooms had stories to tell. Even if it was just a 20-second story, you were in a story. Alan Ostrander:
We never touched them. We never threw liquids on them. People swore we did. It was just the way of getting into their heads. I was fortunate growing up here in Orlando with Disney, and learning that concept of you never see what you’re not supposed to see. If you went in the middle of a scary room and all of a sudden saw a maintenance guy walk by, that never happened. Michael Gavin, actor and box-office cashier:
I believe it was the attention to detail. It was the movie-quality sets. … I think it would compare to, and sometimes exceed, [Universal’s Halloween] Horror Nights in the detail, especially in the early days of Horror Nights. Jason Baerhold, actor:
The start of the training process is all about getting a hold of your own fear, because in almost every set you’re all by yourself in a very creepy place. … I think scare actors have to be in touch with their own fear, and it helps you scare the other people. Alan Ostrander:
The first goal was to make sure they were entertained. … If you can get people off their feet, not thinking, it’s much easier to scare them. So we would get them laughing, have fun with them, and then we could get a startle and scare them. It would not have been the terror it was without David Clevinger… He was very open to input and listening to the cast. Walter Price:
David was a very hard man to please. He was not unfair, but you had to know your stuff, and David knew his. Jason Baerhold:
The relationship between management and actors, there wasn’t much of one. They made the schedule, and if there was a problem they’d talk to you, but it wasn’t Shakespeare. We weren’t talking about character. Kim Donovan, actor and cashier:
When I first started working there, I was just interviewed as a cashier because they didn’t have any roles for the females at the time. Walter Price was working the gift shop, and he told me that they don’t have a whole lot of roles for females. So he said, if you really want to work here, say that you’re willing to do the shop too. A few months later I auditioned as a scare actor. They had me read the Undertaker monologue and then do some improv, which consisted of turning myself into a werewolf. … Improv has always scared me, but Walter does not care. Whatever comes through his mind is going to be the ultimate performance, and everybody’s going to enjoy it. It’s amazing to watch him work.
ON THE STREET
Brook Hanemann, actor:
One of my favorite characters wore a straitjacket and medical scrubs and slippers. I carried around a stuffed cat. … One of my favorite moments was doing that character with a long line wrapped around the building. A fire truck pulled up to the red light in front of the entrance. So I ran over to the little tree next to the driver’s side and put my stuffed cat up in the tree, and I fell to my knees, sobbing, begging the fireman to come get my cat out of the tree. He resolutely shook his head no. But then I got the crowd riled up and everybody started shouting for him to help me. And with a flair he shook his head, I think he said “Damn it,” and hit the lights so the whole fire truck lit up, climbed down and saved my cat. I just leapt for joy, and everybody cheered, and he drove away. Jason Baerhold:
My street character was Bongo, the kid-eating clown. “You make them, I bake them. You breed them, I eat them.” Top hat and clown makeup and fangs. It was great fun, because I was a 19-year-old actor and they were like, “Go on the street and mess with people,” and it was just glorious. We had to entertain the people in line, because they were waiting 20, 30 minutes and it’s downtown on a Friday night in Orlando. Walter Price:
The first character I created was Prof. Nicodemus Grim, a professor of necrology from the University of Budapest. Then I created a character called Gordon Bennett, an insane ex-innkeeper, and it literally allowed me to do whatever I wanted. One night I was a gumball machine. One night Gordon was freight. I literally stood in a box full of bubble wrap and told people I was freight. At one point I took my ponytail, wired it so it stuck up over my head, took duct tape and made a big silver square on my stomach, and I was a Teletubby. There were no limits. Alan Ostrander:
Much of my tenure at Terror was spent outside on Church Street with one of my alter egos, Roach, a disgusting little old monk who chewed on cockroaches. He was always happy to offer them to anyone. … There was a huge picture window that ran across the front of Terror, and it’s exactly where we routed the queue line. It looked like a static display of monks. I loved working in that window because I would be totally frozen for about a minute and then just jump up and hit the window, and the entire queue line screams and runs. It was the best gag. They didn’t use to let our characters go down the street in front of the Church Street Station area, even though it was an actual street that was closed to pedestrians at night. They used to send me down as the guinea pig, and they actually had the police cart me off in a squad car a couple of times. They put me in handcuffs in costume, put me in the back of the squad car, we drove around the block, and they dropped me off back at Terror.
[ terror on church street ] KNOCK THREE TIMES: THE ROOMS Jason Baerhold:
You get them into a line, tell them to put their hands on the shoulders of the person in front of them, and there’s a spiel that tells them the three rules: no running, no stopping, no photos. Then you’d walk them down into a hallway that’s a Victorian alleyway, and you’d say, “At the end of this hallway is a large door. On that door there’s a large knocker. Grab that knocker and knock three times. It will come for you.” The fun part about that role was you could be rude. Then there’s a little voice: “The master will see you in the next room.” The guy comes out in a spooky monk’s robe. “We are the eternal dwellers of Terror on Church Street.” And you do a spooky — I can’t remember the whole spiel there, I wish I could. Then you open this large clanging gate that has a chain on it … and you slam the chain to scare them. Then they walk into the graveyard, with spooky sound effects and fog and a fence. The zombies on the other side of the fence start to shamble along with you, and people would taunt them through the fence because they’re drunk and having fun. And then the fence stops and the zombie charges them. Jack Neiberlein, assistant director of operations and technical director:
We were really concerned about quality, which meant we slowed it down a little bit. They would come in in groups of eight, and then they were put in a single file line, and to keep them from touching the actors, we would tell them to put their hands on the shoulders or the waist of the person in front of you. We would send them through in groups of eight every three minutes or so. For Universal, that’s really slow. If something was backed up, people would call on the radio: “We’re backed up in the morgue.” OK, we’re going to stop until we get that fixed, because each actor had a performance. God bless Horror Nights. I go, I love it. But we did not do the conga line. That’s another reason why I think we were the best, and no one has topped it yet. Again, I’m biased. Alan Ostrander:
Freddy [Krueger] was licensed. … He was on a lift. He basically floated in the air coming at the guests, so his one hand with the gloves was going right over their heads as he flew by. We had Dracula on a lift as well, and it was the only spot in the attraction we put the guests in total darkness. They had to feel the walls. The group would come up within inches of his face and still have no idea he was there. Then he would activate a spotlight on his face, and then he instantly flew off vertically four feet in the air into the darkness and disappeared. Safety-wise, we could never do anything like that now. Jason Baerhold:
For pure artistry from an audience perspective, the Exorcist room was the most intense. The bed would rock up, the drawers would flop in and out, there was a big wardrobe that would swing out at you. And the actresses who played
the Exorcist learned to use the bed as a catapult. Clown Room is probably the most memorable. There’s a bunch of dolls lining the walls, which is creepy anyway. You hit a button and one of the dolls’ heads starts rotating, and then they all come to life and there’s a big noise. … There’s something about that room. Everybody who did the creepy clown idea got weird the whole night. Sam Waters, actor:
There was a scene called the Morgue where we had the bodies hanging from the ceiling. They had no idea where you were. All they heard was your voice over the microphone, and they were scared to death. Brook Hanemann:
The bodies in the Morgue were weighted and had give to them. Some were burn victims, some were made to look as if the body had been dismembered and then stapled back together. … The Lucy room was lace curtains and stained glass and the sound of rain and a crackling fire and a coffin. Candlelight. It was peaceful. Alan Ostrander:
We did have a chicken exit halfway through, where we stopped the groups and gave them a choice if they wanted to continue on or leave the attraction, and many individuals left. I thought that was a great thing.
YELLOW MAN AND OTHER RESIDENTS Sam Waters:
Yellow Man was called Yellow Man because of “code yellow.” We wanted guests in groups, but if you saw a single person going through the sets, you’d think, why did they get separated from the group? So you’d turn around and follow them down the hall, except they’re gone. They’re not there. And so we called them Yellow Man. No one ever saw him, but you know, Yellow Man was there. Doors would randomly slam for no reason. Alan Ostrander:
Everyone swore the Exorcist room was actually haunted, because the electronics in the room would sometimes just go off by themselves. So it was haunted. No, it was very bad wiring. It used to catch fire backstage. Walter Price:
I think I was the only person in the building who didn’t think it was haunted. … Never saw him, never heard him, never anything. Jack Neiberlein:
There were times I worked 24 hours there. I’d be there at 3 in the morning, or I slept there, not a lot. I never heard or saw anything myself. I know they talked a lot about Yellow Man. One of the cast members took a Ouija board and put it backstage on one of the sets to see what would happen. I can’t verify any of that, because I saw nothing. I wasn’t trying to look; I wasn’t trying not to look. The scariest thing at the attraction was David Clevinger. Jason Baerhold:
I desperately wanted to see something, not for lack of trying. But if you’re sitting alone in
the dark listening to real screams and recorded screams, you’re going to feel like something’s watching you. Michael Gavin:
It was the set before the Morgue that totally gave me the chills. My hair would stand on end. I couldn’t put a finger on it. I just know it was somewhere I did not want to be. It was projecting the thing, like, “Hey, don’t go in here. I don’t want you here.” Jason Baerhold:
At the end of the night you have to walk through the labyrinth and make sure nobody dropped money on the floor. It’s just pitch black, me and my flashlight. All the circuits are turned off. I’ve turned them off myself. As I was walking through Clown Room, the first doll, the one that always moves its head first, I’ve turned off the breaker. The doll’s head, with the motorized noise and everything, just goes … and stops. I’m not a person who believes in ghosts. I want to, but I don’t. But I was out of there. Brook Hanemann:
I had been in the Lucy room, and it had been 20 minutes since a group had come through … and all of a sudden in my ear, as if somebody’s mouth was right next to my face, there was a scream, so loud and so direct that I could almost feel the breath of the person on my face. It was a man’s voice screaming, and it just sounded like agony. I didn’t jump up and run out like I thought I would. I immediately burst into tears. I wept because it sounded like pain. Brook Hanemann:
The most impactful one was in the Morgue. The gentleman in the Morgue was named Hans, a big imposing gentleman, very kind and not a prankster. The group went through, and I heard more screaming, and Hans came into my room afterward, visibly shaken. He said something came up from the corner of the Morgue, over by the dumbwaiters. It looked like the shape of a man, but almost like it was wearing a speed-skater outfit. It was all gray, and it started running toward the group. When Hans came out to do the second impact, he said it looked at him but didn’t have any facial features, and it turned around and appeared to walk into the wall. Hans called for security, and nothing like that had come through. It shook Hans so much that the next day he went to his church and got ashes to bless the space, and he made a cross above the entrances to the Morgue in blessed ashes.
FAMOUS FACES & DIFFICULT GUESTS Alan Ostrander:
I remember several accidents, like poor Shaquille O’Neal bashed his head coming out because he was taller than the doorways. He came out running from Leatherface, and I was standing in the gift shop, and he about got knocked out and slammed his head through the doorway. But still laughing and loving it the whole time.
when he was playing for the Orlando Magic. Apparently he was doing all right until he got to the Exorcist room, and that was his hot button. I was not in the room at the time, but I heard that when the room went off and all the effects went off, that very large man hit the floor and crawled out on his hands and knees. … [The scare actor]’s story for the rest of the night was how she made him scream like a child. There is no doubt in my mind that all of those stories can be true. Jason Baerhold:
He was easy to spot, obviously. I came out with a chainsaw and I said the line I always say, “You got a real purty mouth, boy,” and I hit the chainsaw, and he jumped like 7 feet into the air, landed on his knees, and then ran out with this poor hapless dude clinging onto his belt loops. Shortly after that I saw the commercial for his video game, Shaq Fu, and I desperately wanted there to be a level with me as Leatherface and Shaq, but they don’t listen to my ideas. Jack Neiberlein:
Shaq was very young at the time. I’m 6-foot5, so I’m always used to being tall, but he was towering over me, and I was worried, is he going to hit his head on something? He came with a little friend who appeared to be like 15 or something. He was terrified, and he came out of the show covered in sweat. His response was, “Who thought this stuff up? Oh my God!” Then we had him sign a poster. He was very gracious and he loved it. Sam Waters:
The best one I ever had was Elvira. Cassandra Peterson came through out of costume, but we knew she was coming. I was in Psycho that night. I’m a pretty big dude, I was wearing the skirt and the wig and the plastic butcher knife, and I jumped out in front of Cassandra Peterson: “Stay away from my mother! Get away from my mother!” She backpedaled and fell flat on her butt laughing all the way down. I had scared her into laughter. One night I was in the Altar Monk and in walk Mariette Hartley and Elliott Gould. I walked around behind her, and she went 14 different directions. Walter Price:
SeaQuest DSV was being filmed at the time, so Jonathan Brandis came through a couple of times. One of the Saudi royal princesses was very fond of us. She would bring 10 or 20 of her closest friends, rent out an entire floor of a hotel, and then they would come downtown and go through Terror, and we would VIP them through as often as they wanted. One night I was in the VIP hallway, we used to call it the Black Hole, and that’s where we would send people who didn’t want to be recognized by the public. There was a young girl sitting in there who didn’t want to go through, so I just sat with her and we talked for about 20 minutes, and we had a great time. Then

she left, and one of my managers came over and said, “Do you know who that was?” “No.” “That was a princess.” Apparently she loved coming here but never actually went through. She was too scared. Jason Baerhold:
George Romero came in, and Walter’s doing one of his goofy characters, and he walks up to Romero and says in his goofy voice, “What was it like working with Adam West?” confusing him with Cesar Romero. The worst guy I ever had was in the front of the group, ruining the show for everybody. Somebody would jump out and he’d reach out and touch them on the chest. I told him,“You’re ruining the show, you’ve got to step out.” He got really angry: “Go ahead, make me.” I’m getting minimum wage. I’m not going to fight some drunk guy. So I called Carl. Carl the Candy Cop was a big scary policeman, a big dude with a bald head and a big white beard, a former Marine with a SWAT badge, and he would walk around after the group passed with a bunch of Jolly Ranchers: “Hey, how you doing? You having a good night?” And he started saying “sir” really fast. Alan Ostrander:
My actors would be in trouble if I ever saw them over-scaring a kid to where they’re just terrified. Sometimes parents were not the best parents. They’d be shoving their kids at us, “Scare them,” and this poor child is bawling and screaming. No, I’m not going to do that. That’s not entertainment. That crosses a line. Jack Neiberlein:
Sandra Bernhard came. She went through the show, and I asked, would you sign a poster? She just walked right out the door: “Fuck you!” Right in character there. But the huge majority of the people liked it. Tom Savini has been one of my personal heroes. He came multiple times, and he was very kind. A stuntman who worked for Wes Craven, the guy who did the body burn in the first Nightmare on Elm Street, came out, too. He said for about 3,000 bucks he could set himself on fire on a bicycle and ride down Orange Avenue in front of the attraction. My bosses didn’t go for it. Dan Carro, actor (currently Gatorland creative director):
I was a pretty good Leatherface because of my size. One night there was a busload of teenagers, very energized and definitely very afraid, and I jump down chasing them and they smash through the glass doors and run onto Orange Avenue, and I’m hearing cars screeching to a halt. I’m thinking I killed someone. Jack, the general manager, comes walking into my set, and I’m pacing like, “I’m going to get fired.” And I’m saying, “I’m so sorry.” And he goes, “No.” He rubs his forehead. “That’s what we want you to do. Good job.”
THE ETERNAL DWELLERS Alan Ostrander:
It was the strangest group of people that in any other instance would never have gotten along. But we were all the best of friends and brothers in there because we had a common goal of scaring and entertaining people. We had drag queens sitting next to skinhead punks sitting next to the guy who thought he was a vampire and really drinking blood. We still keep in touch 20, 30 years later. … We were there 364 nights a year. The only night we were closed was Christmas Eve, and that was our Terror Orphans Christmas party. Michael Gavin:
It was like an extended family. I really came into my own and out of my shell working there. … I’m more afraid of the mundane people now than I am of the tattooed and the freaks, because the tattooed freaks are much more genuine and friendly and supportive. … Management was management, and cast was family. Sam Waters:
We were a weird, warped family. I wasn’t doing it for the money. I was doing it because I love doing it. I love scaring. There were rivalries, but not heated rivalries. It was trash-talking, [like] there were rat traps everywhere, and I just managed to sit down on a rat trap one time, so I picked up the name Rat Trap. We picked on each other, but we cared about each other. Jason Baerhold:
Sitting in the makeup room putting on your makeup with people like Walter Price, it was like a ping-pong match. The banter would just fly around the room. That was great training for learning how to be quick verbally. … There was this one guy who was in Phantom, and he was like, “I’m not going to be scared. I’m not a child. I’m not scared of the dark.” That rubbed me the wrong way. I was in security that night, which means I wasn’t in the show, and I slipped into that pitch-black hallway behind him. I waited until he was doing the speech on the microphone, and I just lightly pushed my finger down the back of his neck, and he screamed and ran out through the other doorway. Then I went to the break room like, “How’s it going in there?” He was a lot less cocky. Walter Price:
If it was a slow night, it was pretty much a free-for-all. A bunch of us would gather on the Exorcist bed and just gab until we heard a cue going off and then, “OK, sorry, I got to go.” After the show would close, oftentimes all of us would head over to the Denny’s on OBT, and we would sit there for hours and just talk and be silly with each other. Like every family, there were people you got on with better than others, but I can’t think of anybody that I did not care for. Jason Baerhold:
I asked for a raise, and three months later they said, “Yeah, we’ll give you a raise.” And then three months after that, no raise materialized. So I found another job, and I was heartbroken to do it, because I loved working
there. … They were 9-to-5 and we were the ghouls and the freaks. Dan Carro:
Other people have said we were such a family. That was my Skull Kingdom experience. That was not my Terror on Church Street experience. But there were people I made friends with and felt pretty close to. Jack was always really nice. … The thing I love about haunting, it’s not the horror. For me it’s the most intimate form of theater, and the only theater I know of where the guest is on the stage with you. Brook Hanemann:
There were people who were just extraordinarily good friends and kind people, people who had great struggles in life and people who held each other up. I remember one particular manager being very, very kind to everybody. I had taken all my clothes down to a laundromat, and when I returned from the gas station, someone had stolen my clothes, which was everything I had. That night at work he knew I was upset and crying. The next day he asked me to come down to the office and handed me about five bags from various department stores. He had bought me a wardrobe of clothes because he knew I was putting myself through college and I didn’t have the money to replace it. That was special.
LAST CALL
These are memories of a place that closed more than 25 years ago, and the people who lived them don’t always agree. How much warning the cast got, and what shape the building was in, depends on who you ask. Sam Waters:
We got no warning. Everybody started contacting each other: “OK, who’s checking the schedule?”“Oh, the schedule’s not up.” And then we saw the sign posted in the window: “Thank you for eight great years, Orlando. Terror on Church Street is now closed.” A week or so later we found out they’re auctioning all the stuff off, so a bunch of us showed up at the auction just to say our goodbyes. It felt like you were losing a part of yourself. Alan Ostrander:
The downtown redevelopment board had decided to redevelop downtown, and basically our lease came up and the rent was tripled and we were forced out. Walter Price:
A day or so before the actual closing, the man in charge of the makeup called me and said, “Come down tonight and get your costumes. We’re closing.” I went down there the very next evening and got my belongings. And that was, I believe, the last night they were open. Jack Neiberlein:
I was told by a person in management one day, “There’s a problem with the landlord, and we might not be open much longer.” And I was like, oh my goodness, I don’t want to come in and find a padlock on the door. Then someone was advising people in management, “Don’t tell the actors.” And I said, we’ve got to tell them
something. I’m not just going to tell them everything’s fine, and then they show up and there’s a padlock on the door. This was about two weeks before it closed. Brook Hanemann:
When they started to tear it down, a group of us actors found a side door that had been ajar, and we took one last tour of the space. You could tell that there were unhoused people who had set up shop in certain areas, and some areas still just had all the scenic elements up in the back. It was painful when the whole building was taken down, because a lot of people kind of grew up during that time together. Kim Donovan:
It was an old building. If you’re not going to fix the roof leaks, and there’s roaches, and there’s rats running down the hallways … they definitely weren’t doing what they could to maintain the building. Jack Neiberlein:
I was in there at all hours of the day and night. I never saw a rat. Roaches, well, maybe. It was the old Woolworth’s building, and there were parts that were questionable. The roof was literally falling in over the break room. There was a big hole. But it was repaired. We had a full-time custodian. The building was safe. When David did his set designs, we always had to have inspections by fire marshals. Sam Waters:
They moved the props into the third floor of Church Street Station. We used to call it Terror 2: Electric Boogaloo. In my opinion, they really didn’t know the first thing about operating a haunted attraction. So that didn’t last too long. Alan Ostrander:
Because of Terror, I ended up at Ocean Park [in Hong Kong] for 13 years directing a cast of 400 performers. I owe it all to Terror and David Clevinger. … It’s been almost 30 years, and I still get emails weekly from people asking when we’re going to open another Terror. It’s amazing, the legend that we created without even knowing it. Jason Baerhold:
Terror on Church Street took something wholesome and went dark with it, and proved that a year-round haunt would not only work but succeed fabulously. … I remember hearing that Universal Studios was going to do Halloween Horror Nights and thinking, they’re copying us. Walter Price:
If you were having a bad day, all you had to do was get to work, throw on a top hat, and you could be horrifically rude to people, and they would pay you for it. It was the greatest job in the world. To this day, I miss it. Brook Hanemann:
I still have dreams about that place even now, 30 years later. And every Halloween I get a flare of nostalgia, and I hang spooky chandeliers from my oak trees and hang a ghost bride over my pool. arts@orlandoweekly.com

Saturday is the main event: the day kicks off family-friendly with a dog costume contest at 9 a.m. but by evening things are getting scary: a silent-era vampire classic scored live on a pipe organ, a $500-prize block party in Thornton Park and tons of bar crawls and reggaeton, Latin, punk and Caribbean parties running past 2 a.m. And Sunday?

OPENINGS & CLOSINGS:
BIG BRUDER Plus-sized Oviedo brewhouse is a solid pub with middling grub — but it’s not a lost cause BY MICH AEL MUR PH Y
I
t appears German-style beer from Colombia is a thing. In fact, Colombia’s largest brewery, Bavaria, was founded in 1889 by German immigrant Leo S. Kopp, well before less wholesome activity cemented more dubious cross-continental connections. I must admit when I think “Germany meets South America,” I think ratline rather than radler, and the exterior facade of Colombian import Bruder Brewery & Kitchen did little to dissuade. It’s grand, imposing and topped by signage that feels eerily like being summoned to high command. Once inside, we were relieved to find the softer side of Deutschland yesteryear. Being Oktober, there was festing at hand, which included the ritual humiliation of staff, who squirmed in lederhosen and finagled plates around dirndlsqueezed cleavage. They did so in a cavernous but smartly designed dining room aflicker with screens and tight with branding. The polish makes sense: Bruder is an award-winning craft brewery with nearly a dozen locations in Colombia. This, its first stateside, exudes a thoughtfulness that suggests formula — the formula of brothers (bruders) Héctor and Danny Martínez, who’ve clearly made an investment in Oviedo. But the formula
seems to struggle beyond the attractive physical space itself. Bruder is very alemañol: It is strudel and black bean soup, stein-holding and Salsa Nights, and it all orbits around beer inspired by German brewing tradition. You must order beer. We ordered beer. Of the three we tried — a crisp pilsner, a citrusy Belgian style wheat and a double IPA — the punchy (9% ABV) IPA most impressed. As an aside, Bruder is not yet brewing on site; all beer is currently imported from Colombia. The menu features well-conceived pub grub made tantalizing by glossy food photography. If only the oddly named crispy pork “ceviche” ($16) had stayed on paper. On the plate, a failure to cook low-and-slow resulted in rubbery pork belly atop gloopy dollops of avocado and sweet potato. Poor execution was a theme. A “slowcooked” Mediterranean eggplant ($12) arrived nearly raw — bitter, spongy and paired with a too-tart tomato pesto. It included goat cheese balls. We liked the goat cheese balls. Relative to the above, however, a plate of drunken sausage ($14) was a joy. The piquant Colombian-style sausage sung when dipped in red-wine demi and although its accompanying potatoes were bored, they weren’t raw.

Then came the dry: A peppercorn burger ($17) with crispy onions was left half-eaten, as finishing it would have required a stein of suds to coax it down. Likewise with desiccated chicken wings ($16). Garlic salmon ($24) with forgettable rice and vegetables was tasty but a touch mushy — a step above airplane fare. Our best bite, a tender-adjacent chimichurri steak ($32) was well-prepared and paired with pleasingly creamy mashed potatoes, and a finale of carrot cake ($10) was neither dry nor bored. It was dense, but nicely flavored and enjoyed. Overall, it was a frustrating experience, as Bruder has winning pieces in place: a handsome space, a thoughtful bill of fare and quality beer. It’s easy to see the recipe for success. It just feels like the kitchen and staff are challenged by following it. This isn’t a technically demanding menu, but it’s one that gets lost between paper and plate. And although staff were genuinely friendly, you could sense a lack of focus, an eagerness to be anywhere else, the process of closing shop starting well before diners had finished meals. So, yes, Bruder is frustrating — but not a lost cause. If it were to broaden its German influence to include timing, order and performance, all could turn out muy gut.

Streaming Wednesday:
The Gift of Deceit — Her determination to find a cure for her daughter’s illness leads a Brazilian art collector into the clutches of a shady spiritual counselor, who may be running a scam operation.

Streaming Thursday:
The Fall of El Mayo — A three-part docuseries probes the mysteries behind the 2024 arrest of Mexican drug kingpin Ismael Mario Zambada García. Was he ratted out by one of his own? Was it a kidnapping? Or had he actually been doing undercover work for the feds? This one has a built-in audience: namely, apprentice narcos who’ll be filing it in their viewing history under COMMON PITFALLS. (Netflix) You, Me, Us — An Italian couple have to reconcile their wildly disparate outlooks on life when they make the decision to adopt a child. It was so much easier when you could just carve them out of wood, right? Because then
all you had to worry about was them getting swallowed by Whalefall. (Netflix)
Streaming Friday:
Akka — The time frame is the 1980s and the location is a fictional South Indian city, as a ruling class of female criminals has to defend their turf from an outside force that could upend their entire way of life. Scoff all you want, but it sounds like they saw Dick Wolf coming before any of us. (Netflix) Beat Luke Littler — Be in front of your device at 3 p.m. EDT if you want to see 20 hopefuls take on top-ranked darts player Luke “the Nuke” Littler live from Manchester for a £501,000 prize.

(Netflix) The Birthday Gift — The best-laid plans of a German single mom go seriously astray thanks to the guests at her son’s swanky birth-
day party, one of whom arrives bearing the highly questionable gift of a toy firearm. Well, no wonder she’s offended. She goes to all that trouble, and the cheap bastards couldn’t even spring for a real one? (Netflix) A Couple of Lies — A Stockholm couple agree to swap homes with a pair of strangers who are living in Sicily, but what they find in one another’s domiciles could have shattering implications for all of them. Hey, let’s be fair: You’d probably find it hard to resist going to the police if you found out some sicko was rolling their toilet paper the wrong way. (Netflix) Collision Course — Spanish bank robbers discover some unsettling truths about one another in the aftermath of a job gone wrong. As opposed to a job gone right, which basically teaches you who’s worse about bogarting the Cristal. (Netflix) Dead-End Job — The promise of hourly pay that’s 50 times the minimum wage puts a cash-strapped Korean behind the counter of a convenience store where every shift is like a contest on Squid Game. But it could be worse: He could be running a food truck for Mr. Beast. (Netflix) Dexter: Resurrection — New cast arrivals in Season 2 include Brian Cox as a serial killer dubbed The New York Ripper. His schtick is that he doesn’t stab or strangle his victims; he just annoys them to death because he won’t shut up about what all the other New York murderers are doing wrong. (Paramount+)
Obsess — While those of us who don’t have Peacock wait patiently for Obsession to drop on Netflix (psst: Nov. 17), Ted Sarandos would really hate it if we got that movie confused with this psychological horror series about a curse that haunts a Kuwaiti family. I mean, other than the somewhat similar titles, they’re nothing alike, right? No? NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, DON’T DO THAT! I THOUGHT WE WERE HAVING A NICE KUWAIT! (Netflix) SCTV: The Greatest Show You’ve Never Heard Of — Seriously, fellas? You think we’ve never heard of it? The show that was as important to the health and development of comedy in North America as, well, the John Birch Society? Well, if there is indeed anybody out there who needs a remedial lesson, they’ll get it from this reunion of the surviving cast members, who look back fondly on the years of frenzied creativity that introduced the world to John Candy, Eugene Levy, Catherine O’Hara and … uh, Tony Rosato. Hey, not even Ty Cobb batted 1.000! (Netflix)

Bass X Machina — Brian Tyree Henry executive-produced and provides the lead voice for an adult animated show that reframes the legacy of Black U.S. Marshal Bass Reeves in a steampunk context. In this version, he even has a mechanical arm! (Somewhere, an ashamed Taylor Sheridan is asking himself why he didn’t pay someone else to think of that.) (Netflix) Mike Tyson: Return of the Mike — It has to be maddening to plan a four-part documentary about the life of Mike Tyson. All you can do is cross your fingers and hope it doesn’t happen to drop during one of those windows when we’ve all momentarily remembered why we don’t like him. Anyway, good try, Netflix. Got any thoughts on Matthew McConaughey you’d care to share? (Netflix)

[ local music ] tête-à-tête, Devlin shows he’s a savvy tightrope walker with play that balances melody and skronk. Furthermore, he manages to match Morales’ restless, flashy percussion style without ever losing his center of gravity. On “Saturn” and their tense take on the Nat King Cole standard “Nature Boy,”Devlin anchors the melodic line even in the storm of Morales’ technical mania. Athletic swingers “One Down, One Up” and “Bolivia” up the voltage with both revving in the same high gear. But it says everything that the most unchained tracks of “Impro I” and “Impro II” — where the two go wildest out on the extempore fringe, tethered to nothing but each other — are the most irrefutable exhibits of their chemistry. The bottom line? Only that this mini-album is Marcos Morales’ best, most electrifying Orlando collab to date. It’s a knockout document of two stunningly simpatico players stoking lightning together. Elfos Vol. 8 now streams everywhere.
CONCERT PICKS THIS WEEK
LOCAL RELEASES
Like freestyling in rap, improvisation holds a justifiably rarefied place in jazz. In execution, it is the ultimate. It’s where the cream rises and shows its supremacy. Out on this cliff, both for better and for worse, there are no guardrails. With no plan or structure to hold you, you either show your shine or your ass. To those who excel in this gauntlet, all the respect goes. As if that high-wire prospect wasn’t enough, the jeopardy more than doubles when you add another player into the mix. If the twosome aren’t good partners, the dance between even skilled players can devolve into the kind of free-jazz clatter that can make improv, at best, an esoteric exercise and, at worst, a punchline. It seems Orlando’s Marcos Morales understands this. Morales is a jazz drummer and composer from Cuba whose sprawling work is released under the name Mercurio Sessions. Within the wide-ranging catalog, his Elfos series is dedicated to pure jazz improvisation. Since moving here three years ago, he’s continued not just his explorations but his judiciousness in collaborators. His most recent improv accomplices, like Flora Flora and Zach Muth, show he’s already tapped into the hottest, most bleeding-edge veins of Orlando jazz society.

Dolly Parton Tribute: GOAT doesn’t even begin to capture it. When Dolly Parton departed the world this year, she left a colossal void in both music and humanity at a time when it’s needed most. So the Orlando music community is convening to pay due homage to the Iron Butterfly with a loving roundup of local notables including Rachel Decker, Sarah Rogo, Amy Robbins, Jordan Schneider, Rickey Dickens, David Minshew & Michael Rizzo, Edan Archer and Devin & Gage, among others. Guaranteed, this special seated show will be a cozy, comfortable and loving tribute. DJ Pawli Parton spins the after-party at 10 p.m. (7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 28, Will’s Pub, $10) Genitorturers, Nathan James, Pressure Kitten: Can you think of a better, more apt way to spend Halloween night than in a room with a group whose name is a portmanteau of “genital” and “torture”? Me neither. Well, cult legends the Genitorturers are returning to their birthplace of Orlando to punish us so good again with their BDSM rock spectacle. Even on any average work night, the Genitorturers go full leather dominatrix on your pathetic ass. But on Halloween night? Witch please. You know the whole room’s gonna bring it. (7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 31, Conduit, $25-$75) Nick Shoulders: Nick Shoulders better look out. The Arkansas country-music outsider has been coming through Central Florida so frequently lately that we may begin to expect it. But don’t go scrutinizing the grills of gift horses, especially when they come in the form of an underground hero who dares to mix deep country authenticity with unapologetically progressive attitude. So keep bringing it, cowboy. Both your yodels and your sociopolitical polemics are welcome here. (9 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 31, Tuffy’s Music Box, $20) music@orlandoweekly.com

to do this FRIDAY, OCT. 30
Shadows in the Galleries
Subtitled “A Night of Southern Gothic & Hauntings,” this particular night at the museum — Orlando Museum of Art, to be exact — promises an evening of frights rather than whimsical paintings and statues come to life. (Adults only, after all. Sorry, kids!) The late-evening Devil’s Night event is a first for OMA and they’re going all out with a costume contest, themed drinks, light bites, a DJ (and attendant dancing) and a photobooth. And Phantasmagoria, fresh off a run of Frankenstein performances, will be there to ply their fell trade in the galleries, bringing new and chilling meaning to the word “immersive.” Also expect “mysterious characters and unexpected surprises.” Promise? 6 p.m., Orlando Museum of Art, 2416 N. Mills Ave., omart.org, $75-$130. — Matthew Moyer
FRIDAY-SATURDAY, OCT. 30-31
Halloween Cover Nights #1 & #2
Sure, yes, the whole themed cover-band night concept is a bit careworn, but this two-night spooktacular at Will’s has highlights worth braving a Halloween weekend on a bursting-atthe-seams Mills 50. (Seriously, it’s going to be … yikes.) The local institution that is Psycho ’78 doing their annual full-bore Misfits set is always welcome; a GG Allin tribute act called GG Ellin has us intrigued despite ourselves; and hardcore firebrands M.A.C.E. doing a Bauhaus (!) tribute set as Interlude With a Vampire Haus is almost wishcasting for us. Also expect takes on AFI, Alkaline Trio, Jawbreaker and Control This! performing a “Skalloween” set. Our only quibble: No Cramps? 8 p.m., Will’s Pub, 1042 N. Mills Ave., willspub.org, $13.95-$27.90. — MM

ORLANDO WEEKLY ● OCT. 28-NOV. 3, 2026 ● orlandoweekly.com
Feeling bitter about living in the shadow of imminent economic collapse? Scottish comedian Daniel Sloss might just commiserate onstage at Steinmetz Hall Friday. He’s taking his new show, Bitter — a hit at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, so let’s see how it translates from one Fringe-y town to another — all around the States (with his family in tow, for real) on an extensive theater run as part of a worldwide campaign. Time Out praised his new material as sharp, self-aware and unafraid to call out hypocrisy (see also comments in interviews about comedians who went to Riyadh selling their souls). Sloss infamously deadpanned that his 2018 dissection of relationships, Jigsaw, is responsible for a score of divorces, so clearly expectations are high. 7 p.m., Steinmetz Hall, Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, 445 S. Magnolia Ave., drphillipscenter.org, $46-$200. — MM
FRIDAY-SUNDAY, OCT. 30-NOV. 1
PlayFest
If you’re all spooky season’d out and instead want to spend Halloween taking in some terrifyingly good new theatrical works, the first weekend of PlayFest is where you need to be. You’ll be treated to staged readings of six plays and get to engage with the playwright and company in a talkback afterwards. This opening weekend features Their Eyes Were Watching God by James Ijames, The Boy King in Queens by Tammy Ryan, and Luca & Uri by Nicholas Pilapil. Next weekend brings three completely different plays. This has been an important local incubator for bold dramatic voices for years, and witnessing the magic of a new play being formed is well worth arriving late to the Halloween party. Various times, Lowndes Shakespeare Center, 812 E. Rollins St., orlandoshakes.org, $17-$85.80. — MM

Funeral for the Nook
This has been a particularly bad year for bars and venues that weren’t averse to taking chances with their event calendars. First we lost Uncle Lou’s, and now Milk District oddball the Nook on Robinson. The cozy space run more than capably by Matt Duke and Mary McGinn (answering IRL the question posed by Cheers: How do two bartenders run an entire bar?) has been a haven for both craft-beer aficionados and weird-music enthusiasts. No mean feat. Now they’re closing on Halloween night and, fittingly for a space that has never shied away from a good conceptual soiree, with a funeral-themed party. There will be a photo booth, and the back patio will be open like the old days (the pre-paid-parking lot days!). Come raise a glass to two folks who did it their way until the very end. 5 p.m., The Nook on Robinson, 2432 E. Robinson St., facebook.com/thenookonrobinson, free. — MM SATURDAY, OCT. 31
Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror
Before vampires became twinkling heartthrobs, they were bald, rat-toothed and desperately in need of a manicure. F.W. Murnau’s 1922 silent classic Nosferatu wrote the cinematic horror playbook, adapting Bram Stoker’s Dracula without bothering to secure the rights. Stoker’s widow sued, and a court ordered the film’s destruction. Fortunately, Count Orlok proved as difficult to kill in real life as he was on film. So it is that the OG vampire returns to the big screen at Steinmetz Hall this Halloween, accompanied by Grammy-nominated organist Cameron Carpenter performing his original score live. The Juilliard-trained musician, who is the first organist nominated for a Grammy for a solo album, has continually challenged expectations of what an organ can sound like by pairing classical virtuosity with rock-star showman-

Golden Girls: The Laughs Continue
More than 40 years after The Golden Girls first invited viewers into their Miami living room (and respective boudoirs!), Dorothy, Blanche, Rose and Sophia are back, but this time they’re in drag. The beloved NBC sitcom premiered in 1985, ran for seven seasons and collected 11 Emmys while proving that friendship, aging and a withering side-eye make for great television. Golden Girls: The Laughs Continue picks up with the group amid a decidedly less network-friendly chapter. “Shady Pines, Ma! Shady Pines!” — Dorothy’s infamous warning — has taken a whole new meaning now that Sophia’s out on bail following a DEA bust at the retirement home. Meanwhile, Blanche and Rose have launched a sex app for seniors and Dorothy is juggling a much younger, sex-crazed boyfriend. An all-drag cast steps into the ladies’ sensible shoes (along with Blanche’s less practical footwear) for this adults-only stage comedy. Thank you for being a friend, and if necessary, posting bail. 2 p.m. and 7 p.m., Steinmetz Hall, Dr. Phillips Center, 445 S. Magnolia Ave., drphillipscenter. org, $46.91-$118. — Eduardo Gomez
