Back in 2013, Knott's Scary Farm veteran Gary "Spaz" Davis was approached by a new haunt event and was asked to team up with some very inexperienced sliders that called themselves the "Scream Team" and participate in a slider show at their event. The only expectation this new event had was that Gary would help train these inexperienced sliders to do what sliders at Knott's Scary Farm used to do during the pre-show of the hanging in the late 1990's. It was quite disorganized and a bit chaotic. This was the first time anything like this had been attempted outside an actual theme park Halloween event. People ended up loving the show and a small cult like following began to develop. The crew did such a great job that the event asked the sliders back the following year. The following year the Decayed Brigade was formed.
