    HHN Time Capsule Episode 27 – Halloween Horror Nights 27 (2017)

    Send us Fan Mail Scott and Michelle continue their journey through Halloween Horror Nights history with a deep dive into Halloween Horror Nights 27, the 2017 event that delivered an incredible mixture of blockbuster horror properties, original concepts, and one of the strangest event mascots in HHN history. HHN 27 ran from September 15 through November 4, 2017, featuring nine haunted houses, five official scare zones, and two live shows.  At the center of the event was Bone, the mysterious skeletal character associated with Festival of the Deadliest, a scare zone celebrating some of the deadliest creatures and killers imaginable. Bone became one of those HHN characters that fans couldn't help but remember. But the houses were where 2017 really made its mark. The guys break down the arrival of Stranger Things, which transported guests into Hawkins and the Upside Down, as well as The Shining, bringing the terrifying Overlook Hotel and Jack Torrance to life. They also revisit Ash vs Evil Dead, the return of American Horror Story with Asylum, Coven, and Roanoke, The Horrors of Blumhouse, and another chapter of The Walking Dead. The 2017 American Horror Story house specifically combined three seasons of the series into one experience.  The original houses get plenty of attention as well, including Scarecrow: The Reaping, Dead Waters, and The Hive, while the streets offered memorable experiences such as Trick 'r Treat, The Purge, Invasion!, Chainsaw Clown Horde, and Festival of the Deadliest.  The episode also looks at the impact of Hurricane Irma, which hit Florida just before the event and affected the preparation and opening presentation of several scare zones.  Scott and Michelle break down the houses, zones, shows, characters, atmosphere, and overall legacy of HHN 27, while asking whether 2017 deserves to be remembered as one of the more underrated years of the 2010s. It's time to open the Time Capsule and head back to 2017.

    HHN Time Capsule Episode 26 – Halloween Horror Nights 26 (2016)

    Send us Fan Mail Scott and Michelle continue their journey through Halloween Horror Nights history with a deep dive into Halloween Horror Nights 26, the 2016 event that put Chance in the driver's seat. After years of being associated with Jack the Clown, Chance stepped forward as the event's icon, with her twisted imagination becoming the centerpiece of Lunatics Playground 3D: You Won't Stand a Chance. The house blurred the line between Chance's fantasies and reality as guests entered her disturbing playground of carnage.  But Chance wasn't the only attraction. HHN 26 delivered an impressive lineup of horror properties, including The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, The Exorcist, Halloween: Hell Comes to Haddonfield, Krampus, The Walking Dead, and the highly anticipated American Horror Story house. The American Horror Story house was particularly ambitious, combining three seasons of the FX series — Murder House, Freak Show, and Hotel — into a single experience, making it one of the event's most talked-about IPs that year Make your rooms, cars and life smell like your favorite Theme Park and save 15% by using code THNETWORK and  clicking here: https://magiccandlecompany.com?sca_ref=8499280.CVzaCEZ7Ko Ghost Executioners Merchandise! https://www.teepublic.com/user/thehorrificnetwork?utm_source=designer&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=horrificnetwork Follow All Things Horrific Network Here https://linktr.ee/thehorrificnetwork Get Your Sinister Creature Con Tickets Here https://www.sinistercreaturecon.com/thecon

    Send us Fan Mail Scott and Michelle continue their chronological journey through Halloween Horror Nights history with a deep dive into Halloween Horror Nights 24, a year that successfully blended major horror franchises with memorable original concepts while bringing back a fan-favorite element: traditional scare zones throughout the park.  This episode revisits every haunted house from the 2014 event, including Halloween, which brought Michael Myers to Halloween Horror Nights for the very first time, AVP: Alien vs. Predator, The Walking Dead: End of the Line, From Dusk Till Dawn, Dracula Untold: Reign of Blood, and original creations like Dollhouse of the Damned, Giggles & Gore Inc., and Roanoke: Cannibal Colony.  The conversation also explores one of the event's biggest changes: the return of multiple themed scare zones after several years without them. Scott and Michelle revisit The Purge: Anarchy, MASKerade: Unstitched, Bayou of Blood, and Face Off: In the Flesh, discussing how their return brought fresh energy back to the streets of Universal Studios Florida. They also look back at Bill & Ted's Excellent Halloween Adventure and The Rocky Horror Picture Show: A Tribute, two entertainment staples that helped define this era of HHN.  Was HHN 24 one of the most underrated events of the 2010s?

    HHN Time Capsule Episode 23 – Halloween Horror Nights 23 (2013)

    Send us Fan Mail Scott and Michelle continue their year-by-year exploration of Halloween Horror Nights with a deep dive into Halloween Horror Nights 23, an event that fully embraced Hollywood horror franchises while still delivering memorable original concepts.  This episode revisits every haunted house from the 2013 event, including fan favorites like An American Werewolf in London, Resident Evil: Escape from Raccoon City, The Cabin in the Woods, Evil Dead, After Life: Death's Vengeance, Havoc: Derailed, Psychoscareapy: Unleashed, and La Llorona: Cazadora de Niños. Scott and Michelle discuss which houses still hold up today and which helped define the modern HHN experience.  The conversation also explores one of the event's biggest creative decisions: transforming nearly the entire park into The Walking Dead: The Undead Streets, making AMC's hit zombie series the dominant theme throughout the scare zones. They also revisit the return of Bill & Ted's Excellent Halloween Adventure, The Rocky Horror Picture Show: A Tribute, and the continued evolution of the event's live entertainment.  Was HHN 23 one of the best licensed events Universal has ever produced?

    HHN Time Capsule Episode 22 – Halloween Horror Nights 22 (2012)

    Send us Fan Mail Scott and Michelle continue their chronological journey through Halloween Horror Nights history with a deep dive into Halloween Horror Nights 22, one of the most experimental and memorable events of the modern era. Rather than centering the event around a single icon, HHN 22 introduced The Legions of Horror, turning nearly the entire park into one massive roaming scare zone filled with vampires, warriors, zombies, prisoners, beasts, and the sinister Iniquitus. It marked the first time since 2007 that Universal focused on one large park-wide scare zone instead of several individual scare zones.  The episode also revisits one of the strongest licensed lineups of the early 2010s, including The Walking Dead: Dead Inside, Welcome to Silent Hill—the first video game property ever featured at Halloween Horror Nights—Alice Cooper: Welcome to My Nightmare, and the wildly inventive Penn & Teller: New(kd) Vegas. Scott and Michelle also discuss standout original houses like Dead End, Gothic, and Universal's House of Horrors, which celebrated Universal Pictures' century-long horror legacy.  Beyond the houses, they revisit the return of Bill & Ted's Excellent Halloween Adventure, the debut of 20 Penny Circus: Fully Exposed, and the first Halloween Horror Nights Cinematic Spectacular, while discussing how HHN 22 balanced blockbuster IPs with memorable original concepts. Was HHN 22 an underrated classic? Scott and Michelle break down everything that made 2012 one of the most distinctive years in Halloween Horror Nights history.
