Miles McCabe, better known as Brick Thunder, joins us at just 20 years old to discuss his decade-long journey in the Halloween community. We explore his earliest Halloween memories, family traditions, and what draws him to the holiday, then dive into how he built a YouTube channel with over 90,000 subscribers and hundreds of unboxing videos. Miles shares the origin of the “Brick Thunder” name, his absolute favorite animatronic, and how his massive collection caught the attention of major retailers like HalloweenCostumes.com, leading to exclusive product collaborations. We discuss his transition from home haunter to professional haunter, the opening of 5 Points Haunted House in West Chicago, and what sets the attraction apart. Plus, Miles offers advice for aspiring home haunters and teases what’s coming to 5 Points for the 2026 season.
