    HHN 35 Update: Evil Dead, Clowns...and Fortnite?!

    This week on Better Dig 2, we're digging into another Halloween Horror Nights 35 update, and this one's a mix of hype, hesitation, and horror...but not in the way you'd expect. We discuss the latest house and scare zone announcements and break down what's working for us and what has us side-eyeing. Then we rank our excitement for all the scare zones, street experiences, and shows so far...which, of course, leads to some disagreements. Is HHN 35 shaping up to be the best year yet, or are we starting to get nervous? Grab a seat on the couch and join us!

    HHN 35 Update: Scare Zones, Shows, Leaks & a Suspicious Gap in the Lineup

    This week on Better Dig 2, we're digging into the latest Halloween Horror Nights 35 update. Two scare zones have been announced, including the return of some fan-favorite characters, along with two brand new shows! We get into what's got us excited, what's raising some eyebrows, and which of these could end up stealing the event. And of course...we couldn't resist digging into more speculation. From the houses and scare zones still missing in the lineup to one that may have accidentally been leaked (and another that might have completely fallen through) we're connecting dots, spiraling a little, and probably overthinking everything. Grab a seat on the couch and join us!

    Movie Review: Evil Dead Burn

    This week on Better Dig 2, we're digging into Evil Dead Burn. And let's just say...we did not leave this one on the same page. We're breaking down the gore, the scares, and where this one ranks in the Evil Dead legacy. One of us was living for the chaos, the blood, and the absolute insanity...while the other? Not so much. Deadites? Check. Trauma? Double Check. Best horror movie this year? Debatable. Grab a seat on the couch and join us!

    HELLRAISER HHN 35 House Announcement and Mini Movie Review

    This week on Better Dig 2, we're digging into the latest Halloween Horror Nights 35 announcement featuring a house that promises pain, pleasure...and a whole lot of chains. To prepare, we revisited the original Hellraiser trilogy to see exactly what kind of nightmares HHN might be pulling from. We break down our thoughts on the films, what still holds up (and what definitely doesn't), and how it could all translate into a house experience. Are we excited? Slightly terrified? Already bracing ourselves? Yes to all of the above. Grab a seat on the couch and join us!

    HUGE HHN35 Update!! FOUR Original Houses Announced!

    This week on Better Dig 2, we're digging into the heart of Halloween Horror Nights 35 with the announcement of FOUR original houses, and you already know, this is where HHN really shines. No IPs, no expectations, just pure, unhinged creativity. We're breaking down each original concept, first impressions, what's got us genuinely excited, and which ones we're already predicting could steal the entire event.

    HHN35 STRANGER THINGS 5 House Announcement!

    This week on Better Dig 2, we're back with another Halloween Horror Nights 35 update and an official house announcement that's giving us a bit of déjà vu. Let's just say this isn't this property's first (or second...or third...or fourth) time at HHN, and while we want to be excited, our last experience in 2023 didn't exactly leave us screaming in the best way. We're breaking down everything we know so far, what could redeem it this time around, and whether this returning IP will finally deliver, or if we're about to walk through the same upside-down disappointment all over again.

    Movie Review: Sinners

    This week on Better Dig 2, we're digging into Sinners, where guilt, secrets, and bad decisions come back to collect...with interest. With all the buzz about its Oscar nominations and wins, and now being transformed into a house for Halloween Horror Nights this year, the real question is: Does it actually live up to the hype?

    Movie Review: Obsession

    This week on Better Dig 2, we're digging in to Obsession. What starts as a simple wish quickly spirals into something much darker. We break down the story, the performances, and whether the tension actually delivers, or just left us wishing for more. Grab a seat on the couch and join us!
