With all information announced and speculation season formally closed, the Nerds are back to give you an in depth preview of EVERYTHING coming to Universal Studios Hollywood's Halloween Horror Nights in 2025. From the assortment of post-apocalyptic Fallout inspired food offerings, to a roaming Art the Clown ensuring that nowhere in the park is safe, to Jason Vorhees' triumphant return to Camp Crystal Lake in the Jason UN1V3RSE house, or the Jim Henson company bringing Freddy Fazbear's Pizzaria to life, it's all right here. Be ready for the treats, the tricks, the screams, and the rest of it; food, scare zones, shows, and houses from A-Z. Your last chance to get ready before the event!

Your favorite horror attractions podcast is back! The Nerds take a much needed break from the chaos of Midsummer Scream 2025 to break down the whirlwind of Halloween Horror Night announcements over the last two months. Undead Ed and Artvaro the Clown dive headfirst into what might be the most ambitious Halloween Horror Nights lineup in years - but is ambition enough? Universal is breaking out the big guns for this year, with Camp Crystal Lake's own Jason Vorhees long awaited return with Jason Universe, Terrifier's Art the Clown bringing his own unique style of extreme violence, Five Nights at Freddy's nightmare animatronics representing a new generation of horror icons, and Fallout looking to prove a horror maze doesn't need to terrify to succeed. But can retreads like Poltergeist, the Horrors of Blumhouse, and Scarecrow the Reaping fill out the event - even if the later has new music by Slash? Is combing the WWE and Horror Nights in the Horror of the Wyatt Sicks a stroke of creative genius or a desperate attempt at cross promotion - or worse, a house targeted for the Orlando crowd? Only one things for sure - you can't afford to miss this episode! Rated explicit for discussion of some scenes that may be too intense for younger listeners.…

The discussion heats up as they pop over to Las Vegas and explore Universal Horror Unleashed, a permanent horror attraction promising immersive experiences. But will it be worth taking time away from other premier Vegas attractions?

The Nerd return with an extra long episode to recap an epic week of announcements! After attending the Midsummer Scream Convention, we have thoughts on the upcoming slate of Southern California pro haunts. Is the addition of new scare zones going to be enough to lift an uninspiring slate of IP houses at Horror Nights? Is the Legacy of Leatherface a must see attraction, or another retread of past gories? Is going all female for Universal Monsters: Eternal Bloodlines injecting fresh ideas into old IP, or is it a new coat of paint on the same old thing? And with Universal resting on their laurals, do Knott's Scary Farm and Six Flag's Fright Fest Extreme have a shot at the king this year? You'll have to listen to find out!
