Artist Joey Marsocci is a story teller who uses the mediums of theme park and haunt design, creature fabrication, illustration, writing, acting, cosplay, and more to tell his stories. He\\u2019s passionate about building immersive experiences for those who enjoy his strange worlds. He is the Creative Director and Co-Creator at the Curioporium, New England\\u2019s Premier Haunted Shopping Experience in Hartford, CT.\\xa0\\xa0

The Curioporium is an immersive, 5 senses experience (some say 6) brought to fruition by Joey and owner/co-creator Nathan Nunez. Guests leave the normal world behind and become part of the story. The experience blends the stories of Nathan\\u2019s Havisham Society (a family of collectors of the strange and unusual) and Joey\\u2019s Dr. Grymm steampunk character. Guests can shop oddities and spooky goods and participate in everchanging theatrical experiences. In this episode, Joey gives us a behind-the-scenes look at what goes into running this experience and how light and sound drives the tone and timing of the shows.\\xa0\\xa0

As history buffs, it\\u2019s Joey and Nathan\\u2019s mission to entertain as well as educate. When you pull in from history and other cultures, it\\u2019s important to be respectful and accurate. Throughout the Curioporium are QR codes guests can use to look up stories behind the objects \\u2013 or ask any staff member.\\xa0

To make darkness more palatable, the Curio team mixes in humor. Their Grim Reaper is from New Jersey and part of a union. He\\u2019s merely a hard worker with a job to do, and at the Curioporium he adds in a little song and dance. In all his years of haunting, Joey hasn\\u2019t lost a guest.\\xa0\\xa0
