About Me

Ed Gannon
My cellphone is back in service so feel free to contact me at 508 889 7375! Well, I will be putting more into this later, but I'm a pretty busy guy. I've been told I'm interesting, intelligent, and eclectic and that's ok with me. Until recently I was a broadcast technician most of the year traveling around putting in remote camera systems, wiring television station control rooms, etc. I live to Haunt however, which is what I have been doing professionally for the last 13 years, (8 years of that - full time haunter). I have a little company called Something Wicked Productions which I am very proud of, and it emcompasses the realm of haunted attractions, special effects makeup, costume & character creation, computer services & networking, pneumatics, electronics, management, audio and graphics production. (Don't let this site represent those talents by the way, I haven't done much on MySpace at all). lol I have a book out "The Painless Operations Manual for Haunters" and a CD of Krazy Klown music "Carnival After Midnight, Calliope Cacaphony". Wow! Sounds impressive doesn't it? lol If there is anything else you would like to know, don't hesitate to write! I'll be more than happy to respond as soon as I get it. Thanks!

My Interests

Check out my friend Tim, He will be the next Haunted Mansion Guest Butler! Vote for this guy, believe me, he's the best "host" for the job! Click on this link to Vote for him!These clips of people scaring folks are what it's all about! Don't take life to seriously, really LIVE every moment you can. And if you are going to pull a fun prank like these on your friends, at least have the common decency to do a damn good job! lol ..

I'd like to meet:

Fun interesting people, perhaps a little left of center, you know.... like myself! lol Also anyone interested in Haunting or just curious about haunted attractions and all that entails. Cool gothy folks are welcome. I collect Horror/Halloween/Soundtrack/and ghost story spoken word and sound effects records/CD's so if you are into that, feel free to let me know too! People who can respect others for whom they are without feeling they have to wage a crusade to change or save them. This does not refer to me specifically, but everyone has met at least someone who felt that their way was the only way, which is never the case. To each his own. Whew! Sorry for the soapbox there! lol Have a Wicked Day!

Music:

Way too many to list! It depends upon the mood, or the mood I want to be in.Squirrel Nut Zippers: Ghost of Stephen Foster ..... ..

Television:

Sci-Fi Channel, History Channel, TLC, and a few shows. Stargate SG-1, Battlestar Galactica, and yes, American Idol lol

Books:

Currently reading some Classic Horror Tales: Lovecraft, Ambrose Bierce, etc. and listening to old Horror/suspense Radio Shows.I don't have a lot of free time, but I drive a lot so I mostly listen to Audio Books, and Yes they DO count! lol

Heroes:

Hmmm, Well, to be honest, I've never really been a "Hero" person, but I play one on City of Heroes game on the PC! And I love the new NBC show, Hero's, very cool. lol
