In this week's Working the Fright Shift, we sit down with Ken Parks, the current Vice President of Creative Development for Corporate Planning & Design at Six Flags Entertainment Corporation, whose creative DNA is forever intertwined with the legacy of Knott’s Scary Farm. From his early days performing and writing shows to helping shape the groundbreaking world of Ghost Town Alive, Ken’s career is a masterclass in storytelling, character, and theme park innovation.

In this edition of The Horror Blueprint, we wade into a long‑running horror debate.  And in Echoes of the Past, we follow the guides who led thousands into the dark and helped carve the path toward the Halloween entertainment I create today.

Step into the story — the fog has plenty to say inside The Fright Shift.
