Ep 5. Haunted House/The Hunk

In Nathan For You season 1 episode 5, titled "Haunted House/The Hunk," Nathan Fielder comes up with two outlandish ideas to help struggling businesses.

In the first segment, Nathan helps a haunted house attraction in Orange County, California attract more customers by making it seem scarier. He hires a group of actors to play "real" ghosts and turns the haunted house into a real-life horror experience by staging actual paranormal events. Nathan goes to great lengths to make sure the actors are convincing, even hiring a paranormal investigator to validate the supernatural occurrences.

In the second segment, Nathan helps a struggling hot dog stand in Hollywood by creating a "hunk" who will hand out flyers for the business dressed in a revealing outfit. Nathan sets out to find the perfect guy for the job, posting ads online and holding auditions. Once he finds his hunk, Nathan makes him wear a revealing outfit and stand on a busy street corner to attract attention to the hot dog stand.

As with all Nathan For You episodes, the ideas presented in "Haunted House/The Hunk" are both absurd and entertaining. Nathan's deadpan humor and willingness to go to great lengths to achieve his goals make for a hilarious viewing experience. This episode showcases Nathan's ability to think outside the box and come up with unique solutions to help businesses succeed.

Viewers will be left wondering if the haunted house attraction will succeed in drawing more customers or if the hunk's provocative outfit will attract enough attention to keep the hot dog stand afloat. But one thing is certain: Nathan's unconventional methods are always a recipe for laughter.
