BIOGRAPHY Like most people in this industry, Drew Badger has been a Halloween fanatic all his life. As a kid he would organize the best routes in his neighborhood for trick-or-treating and would often work with other neighborhood kids to determine maximum candy output while avoiding the dreaded 'apple ladies'. In 1977 at the age of 10, he was volunteered to help work in his school's Halloween carnival, and it's haunted house. That was the catalyst for a lifelong love of all things haunted. Fast forward 25 years and in 2002, Drew began working as a 'professional' actor at Scarowinds Halloween Haunt in Charlotte. Carowinds is a 110-plus acre theme park that began a Halloween attraction (Scarowinds) in 2000. Within his first hour of the first night of the park being open, he was moved from an early scene as a greeter to one of the final scares along his maze (a much more intense spot) At that point he realized that this was what he had always wanted to do. A couple of weeks later he was told by a manager that a vice-president of Paramount (Who owned Carowinds at the time) had toured the haunt and told them that he “had the best scare in the park.” During his second season, he was made a swingman working several rooms in his haunt while relieving other actors and playing multiple roles each night. By his third season, he was working outside as a creeper/slider and given much greater leeway as an actor. In 2005, he and several other veteran actors were asked to help with some of the novice actors. Actor training just came naturally and he began laying down the foundation of what eventually became his “Boo-Camp” actor training methodology. In 2007, Drew was introduced to Rotting Flesh Radio and became a correspondent for the podcast. It was about this time that he founded Rabid Badger Haunt Consulting and began promoting himself as an actor trainer. In 2008, he attended Hauntertainer U at the Midwest Haunters Convention and became a certified “Hauntertainer”. Ever since then, he has been studying other acting techniques and continues to improve his class each year. Drew Badger lives with his VERY patient wife, three kids, and dog outside Charlotte NC and is always for hire.
