Jim Viehman and Julie Tristan meet at the Missouri Baptist Hospital at 8:30 a.m. on Oct. 24 in order to drive together to their shoot at Zick’s Spookhouse. As soon as Jim arrives, Julie hops into the front seat and they head over to the shoot.  

Dana Hendrickson loads all the equipment she will need into her car. She has her camera, her tripod, and her bag of microphones and wires. She has so much equipment, she can hardly walk.

When they arrive at the Spookhouse, Jim grabs his camera and microphones out of the trunk and he and Julie head toward the back to find the owner, Doug Zick. They find him coming out of the back carrying a cup of coffee.
“Mr. Zick? My name is Julie Tristan and this is Jim Viehman. We’re here from ‘Show Me St. Louis.’”
“Right, right. Let me go get dressed, and then I’ll give you a tour. You didn’t give me time to get my face painted!” Doug laughs.

After a few minutes of knocking on the door of Dominic’s, a restaurant located in Clayton, a bus boy finally answers the door and Dana is ushered inside. She is led to the back of the kitchen, where she finds Dominic Galati and John Ruggeri working away at the stove.
“Hi Dominic, my name is Dana Hendrickson. I’m from Show ‘Me St. Louis.’”  
She extends her hand, but he pulls her in for a hug instead.
“Come here. We’re like family here.”

Doug begins the tour. As they walk along, Julie asks him questions about the Spookhouse, which is actually a haunted path. Jim runs ahead to shoot them walking, and then lags behind to get shots of some of the scenery along the path.

Dana sets up her camera on her tripod. She goes in front of the camera and turns the viewfinder around so she can see if she can see herself in the camera. Once she adjusts the camera just right, she lets it sit and moves to get into the shot with the chefs. But first she needs to put a microphone on one of them.
“So which one of you should I put the mic on? You, Dominic?”
“No, no John will probably do most of the talking. I’m so loud anyway, you can probably pick me up from his mic!”

As they walk down a flight of stairs, Jim takes the camera off his shoulder and holds it at his side to get a unique shot.

After the guys are done speaking, they move over to the other side of the kitchen to make the pasta. Dana takes the camera off the tripod and carries it with her to follow Dominic.

Julie asks questions, randomly, mostly about the different parts of the path. Then, they come upon a real jail cell.
“Can you really go in there?” Julie asks.
“Yeah. You want to go in?” Doug asks.       “Have you ever been in jail?”
“Ugh, no, thanks,” Julie says, laughing.

When they move back over to John, Dana sets her camera back on the tripod and gets into the shot. The camera continues to roll.  

When they are done with the tour, Jim and Julie look around for a good place to do a formal interview. Jim directs the owner to stand in front of the entrance of the path, and then sets his camera on the ground, resting it on a curb. Julie takes out her questions and begins the interview.

Dana gets shots of the chefs preparing their food, asks them questions about preparation and what it is that they are making. When they are done making their food, they bring their food out into the dining room for Dana and themselves to enjoy.
Dana runs ahead of them before they make their entrance so she can shoot them walking in. She asks them about the different parts of the meal. After they are done, Dana and the chefs toast with whine, then sit down to enjoy their meal.

After they finish, Jim takes his camera and walks around the entire establishment, getting more scenery shots so they can have more to work with when they get back to the station.
Jim and Julie thank Doug for the tour and tell him that the segment will air on Monday at 3 p.m. Jim packs his equipment back into his car and they head back to the station.
