After two years of fan requests for a Madhouse sequel, Supernatural choreographer Justin Cromartie delivered something darker, deeper, and even more intense: The Pit.

Come hang out while we explore the origins of The Pit - a nightmare realm beneath the Madhouse universe, born from primal chaos and brought to life through sweat, music, and meticulous mapping.

From anchoring the playlist around “Nobody” by Avenged Sevenfold to introducing long-awaited 180-degree spins in “Eternal Blue,” Justin reveals the creative decisions, technical challenges, and relentless perfectionism behind what he calls his greatest work yet. Some tracks went through 20+ iterations, with targets adjusted pixel by pixel. Why? Because every movement should feel inevitable.

Justin also opens up about the lore behind The Pit, the role of community feedback, and the emotional connection between sound and choreography. Whether you’ve battled your way through this workout or you’re about to descend for the first time, this episode is a must-listen for fans of music-driven fitness, immersive design, and creative storytelling.
