Introduction and Welcome
00:00:05
Speaker
And welcome to another episode of Thrills, Chills, and Spills, where we spill the tea on all things theme parks, special events, and most importantly, the spooky season.
00:00:20
Speaker
And we have a special guest, the host of You're Gonna Die, Bitch podcast.
00:00:27
Speaker
Everybody say hi to Meg.
00:00:37
Speaker
So just to start off, Meg, since you're not familiar with this, we start off with a spill, right?
00:00:43
Speaker
So what we do is that we spill whatever our latest tea is of the week, anything relating to theme park events, you know, spooky season stuff, whatever.
00:00:55
Speaker
Starting off, my spill is that recently, I don't know if any of you have seen, during Super Bowl Sunday, the HHN on their Twitter account, they put that they were going to make their first announcement after the game, which, of course, we all kind of saw it coming.
00:01:10
Speaker
That was not happening.
00:01:13
Speaker
So, yeah, so we were all basically trolled by that, but we all kind of saw it coming.
Twitter Prank Discussion
00:01:17
Speaker
And what did they say exactly?
00:01:19
Speaker
It was literally like, we're going to make an announcement.
00:01:21
Speaker
And then the announcement was HHN will be happening.
00:01:25
Speaker
Which we that was very, very expected.
00:01:28
Speaker
I didn't think a house announcement or anything like that was going to happen.
00:01:37
Speaker
It just seems so early.
00:01:40
Speaker
I saw it and I thought, wow, they're really announcing early.
00:01:44
Speaker
And then when I saw like what they announced, which, oh, it's happening.
00:01:47
Speaker
I was like, oh, fuck.
00:01:50
Speaker
That Twitter account is like a troll at all times of the year.
00:01:55
Speaker
It doesn't matter what month it is.
00:01:57
Speaker
Like they're always trolling.
00:01:59
Speaker
I don't even remember where I saw it.
00:02:00
Speaker
Cause I don't have Twitter anymore, but I saw it somewhere.
00:02:04
Speaker
And I was like, how is this, how am I still getting Twitter?
00:02:07
Speaker
Even though it's gone.
00:02:08
Speaker
I was probably on discord.
00:02:19
Speaker
Joey, you had a spill.
00:02:22
Speaker
So mine is just something that I read today on the Park Fans forum, which is a user who I'm not familiar with.
00:02:29
Speaker
So, I mean, take it as the Dippin' Dots guy, but they claim they have multiple credible sources from CGA that are saying October 25th of this year will be the last day that it operates.
00:02:42
Speaker
So, I mean, obviously the signs have been there.
00:02:44
Speaker
They canceled all of their seasonal events this year, but I didn't necessarily anticipate it would be this quickly.
00:02:50
Speaker
But I'm also kind of like that would make sense if this was just the last season for it, especially with how the Six Flags company has been kind of slashing things everywhere.
00:03:02
Speaker
Just you lose a ride and you lose a ride and now you lose a park.
00:03:06
Speaker
So I guess we'll wait and see what happens.
00:03:08
Speaker
But that's a rumor.
00:03:09
Speaker
So it's a good thing.
00:03:11
Speaker
Buzz Bars is planning to go this year.
00:03:14
Speaker
And I won't be able to go.
Rumors and Job Interview Insights
00:03:20
Speaker
So I will have never visited the park, but it's all good.
00:03:23
Speaker
Wait, when is the CJ symbol?
00:03:27
Speaker
I think first weekend of April.
00:03:31
Speaker
Sign-ups are happening... Now.
00:03:35
Speaker
I'm not doing my job very well.
00:03:45
Speaker
7th of March maybe I could be making that up but stay tuned Kelly do you remember the no fly week number the what what week of pregnancy you're not supposed to fly anymore oh I didn't pay attention to that I yeah because I feel like I would be coming up on that for April but also like I don't want to fly at all right now I feel like probably I'm fully making this up but I feel like if you are
00:04:12
Speaker
in your third trimester, you probably should not.
00:04:14
Speaker
Unless like things are going smooth.
00:04:17
Speaker
This, I do this thing if I'm traveling where not even just pregnant, just always, I like look where the good hospitals are because I'm psychotic.
00:04:28
Speaker
Maybe we'll just take a newborn to California.
00:04:37
Speaker
A newborn and a toddler.
00:04:38
Speaker
Do you have something you want to spill Meg?
00:04:42
Speaker
I don't pay attention to park news anymore since I've deleted Twitter.
00:04:47
Speaker
Yeah, it could be anything.
00:04:52
Speaker
No one that I work with is going to listen to this.
00:04:55
Speaker
So I have a job interview tomorrow for a different job.
00:04:59
Speaker
That I already know.
00:05:00
Speaker
That's a real, real tea.
00:05:02
Speaker
I know I'm going to get offered it because my best friend is the supervisor.
00:05:08
Speaker
That's a good night.
00:05:10
Speaker
Let me make it even hotter, Tee.
00:05:14
Speaker
So yeah, there's that.
00:05:15
Speaker
I don't know if I'm going to take it, but I know I'm going to get offered it.
00:05:22
Speaker
That's the one I have.
00:05:24
Speaker
Do you want to talk about your podcast at all?
00:05:28
Speaker
I am the co-host of a podcast called You're Gonna Die, Bitch.
00:05:33
Speaker
My brother is the other host.
00:05:36
Speaker
And fun fact, in a program of a musical that he did recently, he tried to say that he produced it.
00:05:43
Speaker
He has nothing to do with production, just so everybody knows if you listen to it.
00:05:46
Speaker
Okay, so there was more tea.
00:05:53
Speaker
I'm going to drag him forever for that.
00:05:59
Speaker
Listen, when you write that bio for the musical, your head just starts.
00:06:08
Speaker
um but no our podcast is about horror movies um we recap and review a horror movie every episode we haven't recorded in a while because life has been cuckoo bananas um so but right now i think there are at least 54 or 55 episodes out that you can listen to or on all the platforms um
00:06:33
Speaker
It's about horror movies, but a lot of the people that listen don't even like horror movies.
00:06:38
Speaker
They just like to listen to us say what happens in them.
00:06:41
Speaker
So if you want to know, but you don't want to watch it, that's the place because we're going to talk about it
00:06:47
Speaker
in a way that is not scary in the slightest.
00:06:50
Speaker
I can endorse that.
Event Reviews and Concerns
00:06:52
Speaker
It's a great like recap podcast in that way.
00:06:56
Speaker
It's like in high school when I would read the spark notes instead of reading my actual book.
00:07:03
Speaker
Except we're funnier than spark notes.
00:07:08
Speaker
So, um, Joey's going to be on it at some point.
00:07:12
Speaker
And I don't know, maybe the rest of you, if we haven't talked about it yet, but yeah,
00:07:25
Speaker
That's my podcast.
00:07:27
Speaker
We're going to get back to recording soon.
00:07:29
Speaker
Like I said, it's been, it's been a couple few months.
00:07:32
Speaker
So, but we, at the end, the end episodes right now are, we're covering the screen franchise.
00:07:38
Speaker
So that was a fun one.
00:07:48
Speaker
Starting off, Tyler, I know that you recently went to Mardi Gras in BGW.
00:07:53
Speaker
Tell us about that.
00:07:55
Speaker
So actually, Kelly and Joey were supposed to come up on the Saturday.
00:08:00
Speaker
We were all going to go.
00:08:01
Speaker
I'm going to get the tasting card and everything, make a full day out of it.
00:08:05
Speaker
And then Weather decided to be, what, like 34 and rainy or snowy or something.
00:08:12
Speaker
Rafa, did you say they flaked?
00:08:15
Speaker
They fully closed the park.
00:08:17
Speaker
They being the park, not me.
00:08:21
Speaker
Before he got to that part, I was like, oh, okay.
00:08:24
Speaker
It was the day before, right?
00:08:25
Speaker
At least they posted it the day before.
00:08:27
Speaker
Yeah, it was pretty late at night.
00:08:29
Speaker
Well, maybe not super late, but we were fully ready to get up early the next day and go, and then we saw that it was going to be close, which was fine.
00:08:39
Speaker
And it was probably a good thing because the weather ended up being absolutely miserable that day.
00:08:44
Speaker
We would have hated it, but...
00:08:46
Speaker
I did end up going later.
00:08:47
Speaker
The very next day, actually, I think I went.
00:08:50
Speaker
So that was a Sunday.
00:08:52
Speaker
Yeah, it was honestly a good event, especially compared to BGT.
00:08:55
Speaker
I think we were all sort of underwhelmed with that one.
00:08:58
Speaker
But BGW did a little bit more.
00:09:01
Speaker
I thought the decor went better.
00:09:05
Speaker
further into the park.
00:09:06
Speaker
It wasn't just sort of into one area.
00:09:09
Speaker
They had multiple shows.
00:09:11
Speaker
So I went into Ireland.
00:09:14
Speaker
They had a street party.
00:09:15
Speaker
So it was just like a little dance party.
00:09:18
Speaker
They had stilt walkers, some music and stuff.
00:09:21
Speaker
It was just, it was okay, but it was the middle of the day and it really seemed like sort of like a nighttime dance party show.
00:09:29
Speaker
A little awkward people just kind of standing around watching the dancers while they're trying to get you to dance and nobody was really into it.
00:09:36
Speaker
But I appreciate what they were trying to do.
00:09:43
Speaker
I got one food item with my platinum free item.
00:09:47
Speaker
It was a catfish po' boy, piece of fried catfish on a little baguette with some lettuce, tomato.
00:09:54
Speaker
Wait, they had bread?
00:09:56
Speaker
They did have bread, yeah.
00:10:00
Speaker
Oh, Meg, to fill you in, in BGT, they did not have bread for the po' boys in BGT.
00:10:08
Speaker
Joey decided to order it with rice because they did have rice, which then caused everybody else to order it with rice.
00:10:15
Speaker
So they hated you, Joey.
00:10:18
Speaker
I was like, wait, they just don't have bread there?
00:10:26
Speaker
They went card three.
00:10:28
Speaker
I went over to the Globe Theater.
00:10:30
Speaker
They had a Cirque Experience show, which I thought was really well done.
00:10:34
Speaker
It's sort of your typical theme park, Cirque, Imagineeque type show with like the French Canadian acrobats.
00:10:43
Speaker
But they added a Mardi Gras flair to it, colorful costumes, music.
00:10:48
Speaker
They had some good set pieces.
00:10:49
Speaker
I was impressed with the quality of it, considering this is only like a two-month event, weekends only.
Terrifier Movie Critique
00:10:59
Speaker
That's pretty much it for Mardi Gras.
00:11:01
Speaker
I did make a little bit of a round around the park.
00:11:04
Speaker
Pantheon was closed, so Seas was being Seas.
00:11:11
Speaker
Big Bad Wolf was coming along pretty well.
00:11:13
Speaker
I went on the train and got some video of that.
00:11:17
Speaker
It's looking good.
00:11:19
Speaker
The only thing I will say about this is there were not many people there.
00:11:24
Speaker
Which was a little surprising to me considering the day before the park was closed.
00:11:28
Speaker
So normally I feel like everybody that wasn't going to go will go on Saturday.
00:11:35
Speaker
But yeah, it was like maybe 2000 people in the park if I had to guess.
00:11:39
Speaker
No lines for anything.
00:11:42
Speaker
No, it was like 50s.
00:11:46
Speaker
So it was pretty good for February I would say.
00:11:49
Speaker
Yeah, interesting.
00:11:52
Speaker
It was a good event.
00:11:53
Speaker
I just kind of worry about the longevity of it based on the crowds.
00:11:57
Speaker
It seems like when VGW started their year-round operation push, they kind of had more dates, and they've been slowly kind of phasing out some of those dates.
00:12:07
Speaker
It's still year-round in theory, but it's not as full of a schedule.
00:12:12
Speaker
But it is a good idea to like have the shows like multiple shows at a park where not all the rides are open, you know, because BGT has that advantage with the weather.
00:12:23
Speaker
They I mean, not that everything was open, but I mean, most of the park was running like normal.
00:12:29
Speaker
And I think how many coasters are normally open for for that?
00:12:33
Speaker
I think it's just two or three, right?
00:12:35
Speaker
Yeah, they were scheduled to have three.
00:12:37
Speaker
I think it was Pantheon, Verbolten and Dark Coaster.
00:12:42
Speaker
So your only outdoor one was closed.
00:12:49
Speaker
That's all I have.
00:12:53
Speaker
Yeah, there's a cat.
00:12:57
Speaker
And then, so this past weekend, some of us did our homework and we, our HHN homework.
00:13:04
Speaker
And we watched Terrifier.
00:13:06
Speaker
So we're going to talk to you guys about, well, Meg actually just watched it today.
00:13:10
Speaker
So you're going to have some fresh reviews on what they thought about this insane franchise.
00:13:22
Speaker
I'm not a fan at all.
00:13:27
Speaker
It's just torture porn.
00:13:30
Speaker
That's not for me.
00:13:37
Speaker
Meg, what were your thoughts since you watched it today?
00:13:42
Speaker
So I told you guys this earlier, but it's time in my life that I'll never get back.
00:13:49
Speaker
I watched the first two.
00:13:54
Speaker
Nathan and I, my brother, were talking about why we never covered this.
00:13:59
Speaker
Nathan said that he just knew too much about it and had zero interest in watching it.
00:14:05
Speaker
And I hate clowns, so I never really had the desire to watch it.
00:14:12
Speaker
But then spoilers started going around online and I'm not going to lie to you all.
00:14:16
Speaker
When I heard that there was this penis scene in the second movie, I was like, see, now I feel like I have to watch that.
00:14:27
Speaker
And it's all the way at the end.
00:14:28
Speaker
You had to get through.
00:14:32
Speaker
It way over goes its runtime.
00:14:35
Speaker
There's no reason that a horror movie should be over two hours ever.
00:14:40
Speaker
Um, that's a hot take that I'll die on though.
00:14:43
Speaker
It's gratuitous gore, which I really hate.
00:14:46
Speaker
There's the first, I mean, the first one, there's absolutely zero plot.
00:14:48
Speaker
It's literally just the most random shit.
00:14:55
Speaker
And then there's like these weird, uh,
00:15:00
Speaker
Then there's a plot that just makes no sense.
00:15:02
Speaker
And it's just ridiculous.
00:15:05
Speaker
It feels like two very different... Two and three follow the same people.
00:15:10
Speaker
That felt kind of cohesive.
00:15:12
Speaker
But really the only thing that transitions from one to two is art and the spoiler, the girl that he mauls.
00:15:22
Speaker
And it went to have
00:15:27
Speaker
It went from this like serial killer vibe to like demonic.
00:15:38
Speaker
I was like reading about that, trying to figure out exactly what it was.
00:15:41
Speaker
And I guess the filmmaker Damien, I can't remember his last name.
00:15:46
Speaker
Said something about how, yeah, it was in the first one, he was supposed to be just like a regular serial killer.
00:15:53
Speaker
at the end of the first one, beginning of the second one, because it's the same scene essentially where he comes back alive after he's had like a steak plunge through his head.
00:16:01
Speaker
And you're like, what?
00:16:02
Speaker
How can he come back alive?
00:16:03
Speaker
That's like a demonic possession that has caused him to come back alive.
00:16:07
Speaker
So at that point, he becomes supernatural.
00:16:09
Speaker
So he wasn't in the first one and then in the second one and onward, I guess he is supposed to be.
00:16:14
Speaker
And the third one is even weirder.
00:16:18
Speaker
I think it's a weird scene.
00:16:19
Speaker
I kind of research it.
00:16:22
Speaker
Because it felt like I was watching it for my podcast, which and like we research it and talk about, you know, facts about it and stuff.
00:16:28
Speaker
And I saw that the first one was kind of a standalone, but the second one, a lot of it was actually based on something the writer had written like years earlier that he wanted to expound upon.
00:16:40
Speaker
Specifically the main character, like the heroine.
00:16:44
Speaker
He had written like all this material beforehand with her and he wanted like an opportunity to
00:16:50
Speaker
show her to the world.
00:16:51
Speaker
And so he's like, here, let me do it in this way.
00:16:58
Speaker
I did think that was interesting also because we looked up the budget.
00:17:01
Speaker
I think we said the first one was $35,000.
00:17:03
Speaker
It's like nothing.
00:17:07
Speaker
So I'm wondering if they just made it as a standalone movie and then were surprised at the success that it brought.
00:17:14
Speaker
And then I think it wasn't until six years later, four or six years later, they had the second one.
00:17:21
Speaker
I'm wondering if that's what the thought process was.
00:17:24
Speaker
It was obvious too, quality wise.
00:17:27
Speaker
The difference in the budget.
00:17:28
Speaker
Because the first one has like two sets maybe.
00:17:31
Speaker
There's like the pizza place.
00:17:33
Speaker
Like an Instagram filter looking.
00:17:37
Speaker
And then that warehouse is just the entire rest of the movie, basically.
00:17:40
Speaker
But the second one has lots of locations.
00:17:42
Speaker
I never knew where the heck we were in that warehouse, though.
00:17:46
Speaker
It's like there's a new room and a new door and a new room and now they're outside.
00:17:50
Speaker
But actually, no, they're still inside.
00:17:51
Speaker
Yeah, it was endless.
00:17:53
Speaker
I'm guessing that was literally just a real place they scouted.
00:17:55
Speaker
Like instead of building a set.
00:17:58
Speaker
And a building that they probably had free access to.
00:18:02
Speaker
That would explain how cheap it was.
00:18:04
Speaker
Because renting space isn't cheap either.
00:18:07
Speaker
It feels to me like the horror movie equivalent of like Sharknado where the first one like blows up.
00:18:12
Speaker
And so then they're like, oh, we have to make another one.
00:18:14
Speaker
And they try to be more serious with the second one.
00:18:18
Speaker
Like they didn't know that the reason the first one is big is because it's camp.
00:18:24
Speaker
It feels like the horror equivalent of that.
00:18:26
Speaker
And to up the ante, they just add more gore.
00:18:31
Speaker
That was a big thing for me about them.
00:18:33
Speaker
Like in terms of what I liked about it is that it was camp.
00:18:37
Speaker
And I guess to explain for the people that don't know anything about Terrifier, the main villain is this Art the Clown character.
00:18:44
Speaker
Somebody's scared of it.
00:18:53
Speaker
But yeah, so the main villain is this art, the clown character who wears a black and white clown costume and his face is like white.
00:19:06
Speaker
He's like a mime and a clown.
00:19:08
Speaker
Very much a mime too.
00:19:09
Speaker
Because he doesn't speak at all.
00:19:12
Speaker
It's entirely mimed the whole performance.
00:19:16
Speaker
And that is the aspect that was super camp to me because
00:19:20
Speaker
It was the best part of the whole movie.
00:19:21
Speaker
He's just ridiculous.
00:19:23
Speaker
He's got this creepy smile and he would do these waves at people and he rode a tricycle.
00:19:30
Speaker
I just loved that.
00:19:31
Speaker
In the second movie, there's this one scene in the costume shop where he keeps changing glasses and it's so silly and ridiculous.
00:19:40
Speaker
I'm like, that's the part about this that I liked the best because I usually don't like horror films that don't have a lot of...
00:19:46
Speaker
plotting or like, I don't know, because it's the first one especially is very basic.
00:19:51
Speaker
It's like he just kills people.
00:19:53
Speaker
And the only suspense is waiting for something to happen, basically, where he's hurting somebody or he's got about to pop out.
00:20:00
Speaker
But the second one had a little more plot.
00:20:02
Speaker
But even in the first one,
Terrifier as HHN Attraction?
00:20:04
Speaker
I could enjoy like that actor's performance of that character because it's so ridiculous.
00:20:10
Speaker
I told Mark the only positive thing about it was the scene where he
00:20:15
Speaker
Can we do spoilers here?
00:20:19
Speaker
I won't tell you who it is or anything, but he scalps a woman that has hair, long hair, and then he also cuts off her chest, which includes her boobs.
00:20:29
Speaker
And then he takes his clothes off and he puts on her chest and her hair, her scalp.
00:20:37
Speaker
And then proceeds to saunter around like this man is the inventor of drag.
00:20:42
Speaker
Doing like all these poses and like mannerisms.
00:20:48
Speaker
And I cackled the entire time.
00:20:53
Speaker
And I'm glad I watched it for that scene alone.
00:20:56
Speaker
And I told my brother, I'm like, never watch this movie, but I am going to send you this scene and make you watch it.
00:21:01
Speaker
It was getting Silence of the Lambs though.
00:21:04
Speaker
Like I was like, I was in a room for that.
00:21:09
Speaker
yeah it's also weird that he's like kind of a cannibal too like that just felt like random yeah yeah like some of his kills he is but like sometimes not so i read something online that um i didn't notice i guess probably because i'm a man while i was watching it but apparently like the more severe violence is always inflicted on the women
00:21:30
Speaker
Like all of the male characters kind of have circumstantial things happen to them.
00:21:35
Speaker
Like he kills them just because he has to like he kills the guy in the laundromat because he's seen him.
00:21:39
Speaker
He kills the pizza guys and the costume shop guy all because they just saw him.
00:21:45
Speaker
But then like when it's a woman, he's doing like all of this really like sadistic, crazy stuff.
00:21:51
Speaker
And that is entirely true.
00:21:52
Speaker
Like I looked back and I was like, Yep.
00:21:55
Speaker
The bedroom scene alone.
00:21:58
Speaker
In the second one, the bedroom scene alone, I feel like it was just... Yeah, it was wild.
00:22:03
Speaker
It does change a little bit in the third one.
00:22:05
Speaker
And I swear, you guys have to watch it.
00:22:07
Speaker
Like, first 10 minutes, you're going to just be like, oh my God.
00:22:12
Speaker
Tyler, if I watch it, I'm going to live text you while I watch it.
00:22:18
Speaker
We when we watched like the scene of that one Tom was coming downstairs and we made him we literally rewound and made him watch it and he went right back upstairs.
00:22:31
Speaker
Every time I told you guys this off recording but every time Mark walked in I was like you need to leave right now you're you need to leave.
00:22:39
Speaker
Because Mark does not fuck with horror.
00:22:42
Speaker
He does not do gore.
00:22:43
Speaker
He will not watch anything that's even slightly... And so he would start to walk in and I'm just like, turn around.
00:22:54
Speaker
There's not a lot of safe moments.
00:22:56
Speaker
There really isn't.
00:22:59
Speaker
But I don't find the gore scary and I don't think that Kelly or Tyler, when we were watching it, any of us were super turned off by that.
00:23:07
Speaker
I was definitely like,
00:23:09
Speaker
hiding a little bit because um a little bit i was holding a pillow because i was cold and kelly was like hiding behind the pillow like burrowing her face in your shoulder when you said that not no like using you as a windshield
00:23:31
Speaker
I'm not a horror movie girly, okay?
00:23:33
Speaker
Well, it's so funny because you were like, I can handle the jump scares in a maze, but I don't like them during the movie.
00:23:41
Speaker
See, the movie doesn't really have jump scares.
00:23:44
Speaker
No, not really, but I was ready for them.
00:23:48
Speaker
There were no elements of this movie that I found scary.
00:23:50
Speaker
It was just the gore.
00:23:54
Speaker
There were definitely moments where you were in suspense waiting for something to happen, but it wasn't scary, really.
00:24:01
Speaker
I think I was also just like I had heard so many things about the movie that it's like so insane.
00:24:07
Speaker
And it's really just the gore, I think.
00:24:09
Speaker
But the thought of like, where's the part going to be that it's insane?
00:24:13
Speaker
Like I knew in the first one, spoiler about the girl that gets cut in half.
00:24:17
Speaker
Like everyone talks about that.
00:24:19
Speaker
Every podcast that I've listened to that has covered it talks about that.
00:24:23
Speaker
So I was like, when's it going to happen?
00:24:26
Speaker
I just could not let it go.
00:24:30
Speaker
So yeah, a lot of my hiding was like, when's it going to happen type.
00:24:36
Speaker
I only knew about the penis scene in the second one.
00:24:39
Speaker
I did not know any other details.
00:24:41
Speaker
I didn't know anything about that, but that was solid.
00:24:44
Speaker
I only knew about the penis scene.
00:24:45
Speaker
Don't watch a horror movie with Kelly because she will read the entire plot before she watches the movie.
00:24:57
Speaker
I need to know what is going to happen ahead of time a little bit so that if there's something I know I don't want to see, I know it's coming.
00:25:06
Speaker
And Nathan gets so mad at me for it, but I'm like, listen, if you want me to continue living an emotionally stable life.
00:25:19
Speaker
If there's a part that's going to mess with me, I need to know what's coming.
00:25:23
Speaker
Cause then I would just turn the movie off.
00:25:25
Speaker
This is true in all aspects of my life.
00:25:28
Speaker
I wish there was a Wikipedia for, for tomorrow.
00:25:34
Speaker
I also just like want the ability to TLDR conversations in real life because there are too many people in my life that just like, we'll talk long too long.
00:25:48
Speaker
When you only need... Like, what's that scene from The Office where Kevin's like, why say more words when you're a two-trick or something?
00:25:58
Speaker
Oh, I... One-two-trick, yes.
00:26:01
Speaker
He's talking like a caveman the whole episode.
00:26:08
Speaker
So I guess really the only thing I wanted to bring up, too, about Terrifier now is, like, tying it into...
00:26:14
Speaker
Obviously it's heavily rumored to be a house at HHN and now that we've all seen it, I wanted to see what you guys thought about that.
00:26:23
Speaker
I could see it being like, I could see it being like just the craziest scenes from each film, like being all over the house.
00:26:33
Speaker
Like, I don't think there's gonna be like a specific location that they're gonna base it off of.
00:26:37
Speaker
Like, I mean, they might start like a facade with like the warehouse from the first one.
00:26:41
Speaker
But then after that, I just feel like it's going to be madness.
00:26:44
Speaker
Just every different kill that he's had throughout the movie.
00:26:47
Speaker
Venture scene, carnival scene, horror scene.
00:26:51
Speaker
See, if they themed the house to the carnival scene, I would be so about that.
00:26:57
Speaker
But they've done themes too similar to that.
00:27:00
Speaker
So I think it's going to be a lot more like what Rafa said, where it's just...
00:27:04
Speaker
a display of his top 10, you know?
00:27:09
Speaker
But what I realized after watching it and then thinking about converting it into a house is that having a movie like this where the plot actually isn't that important,
00:27:20
Speaker
kind of lends itself to a house better in some ways in terms of it being scary because I feel like some of the plot driven houses while cool get lost in the storyline.
00:27:31
Speaker
So as you're going through it, like you're focused on that aspect and not the scare side.
00:27:35
Speaker
And this seems like it could be a really scary house if they execute it well, because you could have arts everywhere.
00:27:41
Speaker
You could have the
00:27:43
Speaker
Little pale girl is what they call her, I guess, that appears in the second one being creepy in there.
00:27:50
Speaker
And I would like if they well, and I don't know about the third one, though, that wise, I'll think about that after I see it.
00:27:58
Speaker
But I could see having the warehouse from the first one be part of it.
00:28:01
Speaker
And then you go in carnival, like from the second one and have those different settings.
00:28:06
Speaker
That would be cool.
00:28:07
Speaker
And then whatever, like, location, just have you go to multiple different locations.
00:28:12
Speaker
And you could theme parts to each movie.
00:28:14
Speaker
So yeah, the first one would be the warehouse.
00:28:16
Speaker
The second one would be the carnival.
00:28:17
Speaker
And then again, not having seen the third one, pick a location from that movie.
00:28:23
Speaker
I mean, the shower scene was 100%.
00:28:26
Speaker
It's not really a good plot point, though.
00:28:30
Speaker
It's just the craziest kill in that movie.
00:28:33
Speaker
You have a bunch of different locations.
00:28:34
Speaker
You start off at somebody's house on Christmas, and then you have the school where the whole shower scene happens, and then...
00:28:43
Speaker
What's the location after that?
00:28:46
Speaker
I don't know if I remember anything that happened after that.
00:28:52
Speaker
I think it's the main character.
00:28:53
Speaker
I think it's the girl's family or something.
00:28:55
Speaker
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
00:28:56
Speaker
It's back where she's staying with her aunt and uncle.
00:29:01
Speaker
And then they go to the depths of hell.
00:29:04
Speaker
Yeah, that's where... Oh, and the depths of hell is the perfect place to end a haunted house.
00:29:12
Speaker
The obviously like, we don't know what, you know, how much the code names are like playing into the actual houses this year.
00:29:21
Speaker
But if we're going with like Poinsettia, because a lot of people are saying like the Christmas theme is Terrifier three and that's the tie in for the code name of the house.
00:29:29
Speaker
The Poinsettia code name is for Soundstage 25, which is like supposedly bigger.
00:29:34
Speaker
So it could make sense that they're trying to jam three movies into, into one house.
00:29:40
Speaker
That's the one with a Santa beard.
00:29:46
Speaker
Oh, the Santa beard.
00:29:48
Speaker
But remember, his symbols aren't always in the right place.
00:29:51
Speaker
Santa beard was on soundstage 23B, but it was on the Hollywood map as well.
00:29:58
Speaker
And that codename was Violet.
00:30:02
Speaker
There are codenames.
00:30:04
Speaker
There's a whole... This is like lore.
00:30:07
Speaker
I feel like there's HHN lore that I... There is, girl.
00:30:11
Speaker
This is your moment to shine.
00:30:16
Speaker
So every year, not every year, but in the past couple of years, they have codenames that are all a theme.
00:30:22
Speaker
So like last year, all of the codenames were desserts.
00:30:25
Speaker
And they're like somehow loosely tied to the house.
00:30:28
Speaker
Nothing's ever really like super clear.
00:30:30
Speaker
They're Taylor Swifting.
00:30:34
Speaker
A Swifty came up with this.
00:30:38
Speaker
This year they are flowers.
00:30:40
Speaker
They're different flowers.
00:30:42
Speaker
I could spend hours on this.
00:30:45
Speaker
There's a spreadsheet.
00:30:46
Speaker
I was going to say, do you have a spreadsheet?
00:30:51
Speaker
Can you send that to me?
00:30:54
Speaker
I just want to see it.
00:30:58
Speaker
I love a spreadsheet.
00:31:01
Speaker
We have had 30 spreadsheets in my life.
00:31:08
Speaker
I can definitely see Terrifier being an insane house.
00:31:12
Speaker
I think I would love it because I just love art as a character and I feel like it would be super fun for those characters to play.
00:31:21
Speaker
I would get the shit scared out of me in that house though.
00:31:26
Speaker
That's what I want.
00:31:30
Speaker
And HHN does not shy away from gore.
00:31:32
Speaker
So I'm kind of imagining something like triplets last year.
00:31:37
Speaker
Sort of that campy vibe, super gory.
00:31:39
Speaker
I could definitely see Terrifier vibes with that.
00:31:42
Speaker
And that's the difference.
00:31:43
Speaker
That's like, like you said, Joey, like the plot isn't super important in translating this to a house.
00:31:49
Speaker
Whereas like triplets, I feel like a lot was lost in their idea of what the plot was.
00:31:57
Speaker
And even if you hadn't seen these films,
00:32:00
Speaker
with the locations that they have they're so kind of generic you know the people who know that have watched the movies would be like oh there's that scene but if you were just going through it looking to get scared i think you still would be and you wouldn't be trying to follow a plot or something yeah a lot of the podcasts that i listen to are saying like i don't know how they're gonna make this like
00:32:22
Speaker
less gory for HHN.
00:32:23
Speaker
It's like, I don't really think they have to.
00:32:25
Speaker
I don't think they would.
00:32:26
Speaker
I don't think they have to.
00:32:28
Speaker
Honestly, they might lean into it and like spray you with water to like with gore and water effects before.
00:32:39
Speaker
My only question was somebody like threw up like
00:32:44
Speaker
Slaughter Cinema 2 The Throat Sea and Water Oh yeah My only question was that Rafa you probably know Have they shown nudity in houses before?
00:32:56
Speaker
Oh yeah Because there's a lot of nudity in Terramarie I want to say yes But I can't remember I don't know But I think so They basically advertise that the event is for 13 plus Yeah
00:33:13
Speaker
That means they can show boobs but not penis.
00:33:17
Speaker
There's definitely been statues.
00:33:21
Speaker
It's because we had to do this whole project on the MPAA and the rating guidelines when I was a sophomore in high school.
00:33:29
Speaker
I don't know why, but it was fun.
00:33:33
Speaker
PG-13 gets one use of the word fuck.
00:33:35
Speaker
If you say it more than that, it bumps it up to art.
00:33:46
Speaker
I don't know if there's ever if they've ever shied away from nudity, but
Epic Universe Food Excitement
00:33:51
Speaker
We'll find out with this one because they'll have to do it to do that one scene or multiple scenes.
00:33:57
Speaker
Unless they fully leave it out.
00:33:58
Speaker
Like, yeah, I don't know how you would do it otherwise.
00:34:05
Speaker
Strategic lighting.
00:34:16
Speaker
So, yeah, I think those are our thoughts with Terrifier.
00:34:21
Speaker
I mean, it's going to be a crazy house if it does end up happening.
00:34:24
Speaker
Hopefully it does.
00:34:27
Speaker
Let us know if you liked this review.
00:34:31
Speaker
Once they release other known IPs, we can do this again, watch one, talk about it.
00:34:39
Speaker
We'll have Meg watch them too.
00:34:41
Speaker
That can be the crossover event.
00:34:50
Speaker
You're going to chill, Spill.
00:34:52
Speaker
I'm trying to think of the crossover name.
00:34:56
Speaker
You're going to chill, Spill.
00:35:04
Speaker
Thrills, chills, and bitches.
00:35:09
Speaker
It's like what was on Disney Channel, the Suite Life of Hannah Montana.
00:35:18
Speaker
So Epic Universe, they released their food items.
00:35:22
Speaker
What are we thinking about that?
00:35:24
Speaker
What are the food items?
00:35:30
Speaker
Kelly, I know you have thoughts.
00:35:35
Speaker
Some strong thoughts about one item and one item only.
00:35:43
Speaker
What could it possibly be?
00:35:44
Speaker
Butter beer crepes.
00:35:51
Speaker
Meg, listen to this.
00:35:56
Speaker
It is exactly what it sounds like.
00:35:58
Speaker
A thin crepe filled with shortbread cookie butter Bavarian cream and butterbeer cream folded inside.
00:36:03
Speaker
It's topped with butterbeer drizzle, fresh strawberries, and a shortbread cookie.
00:36:10
Speaker
That sounds incredible.
00:36:12
Speaker
That sounds very good.
00:36:14
Speaker
That's a strawberry shortcake crate, babe.
00:36:21
Speaker
It can't get better.
00:36:22
Speaker
I mean, maybe it's... I'm so excited about that.
00:36:26
Speaker
Everything else, eh.
00:36:29
Speaker
I'm joking, but like...
00:36:31
Speaker
And this is where... Not really.
00:36:35
Speaker
Wait, does Mark know about this?
00:36:37
Speaker
Because if he finds out about the Bowser's Fireball Challenge... I don't think the boys have looked at this at all.
00:36:43
Speaker
One pound meatball topped with mozzarella in mushroom marinara.
00:36:48
Speaker
My husband's buying that himself.
00:36:51
Speaker
And it has a little puff pastry with Bowser on it.
00:36:54
Speaker
That is the best of the Mario food that I see.
00:36:58
Speaker
Like, I would actually eat that for sure.
00:37:01
Speaker
I think the theming of the food is more exciting than the actual food itself.
00:37:07
Speaker
Like, I don't know how I feel about a black burger bun.
00:37:11
Speaker
So Dark Universe has a lot of black, like drizzle, black buns.
00:37:16
Speaker
I mean, obviously.
00:37:21
Speaker
I like the blood stuff better than the black stuff, though, because they have like, you know, like aioli red drizzles and stuff.
00:37:26
Speaker
And that looks good.
00:37:41
Speaker
A glizzy hate to see me coming.
00:37:48
Speaker
Mark can't see this.
00:37:51
Speaker
The Helios food is, is underwhelming to me.
00:37:56
Speaker
It's too fancy for me.
00:37:59
Speaker
It is interesting.
00:38:01
Speaker
I just noticed this because I guess I wasn't reading everything, but there's the Blue Dragon Pan Asian restaurant, which has fried wings, noodles, but whatever this thing is, the picture, that looks delicious.
00:38:19
Speaker
Is that the one that's octopus?
00:38:21
Speaker
No, no, the one with the under Celestial Park.
00:38:24
Speaker
It's got like pork, noodles, bok choy, mushrooms.
00:38:29
Speaker
That does look good.
00:38:32
Speaker
The octopus really bothers me and I love seafood, but when I can see the little suction cups in the picture, there ain't no way I would put that in my mouth.
00:38:43
Speaker
Oh my God, they should do an octopus HHN.
00:38:50
Speaker
Okay, so we need to answer the Disney villains question because Joey, guess who was thinking about an octopus themed HHN because of that question?
00:39:01
Speaker
Miss Ursula, I have a whole concept.
00:39:03
Speaker
Is there anything else standing out here?
00:39:13
Speaker
Some of the beverages sounded good when we watched that video.
00:39:22
Speaker
I'm going to find it.
00:39:27
Speaker
I don't remember what it was.
00:39:38
Speaker
It was like a coconut rum drink or something.
00:39:40
Speaker
And I looked at you and I was like, yeah, that's your drink.
00:39:45
Speaker
Oh, is it the DK Crush Float?
00:39:52
Speaker
I want to say it's at the end of the video.
Universal's New Events
00:39:56
Speaker
I feel like Rum belongs in Super Mario World, but that's just me.
00:40:00
Speaker
I think it was in Celestial Park, maybe, but I could be making it up.
00:40:09
Speaker
Honestly, I think Celestial Park has the best looking food.
00:40:12
Speaker
Yeah, Fireball for Bowser.
00:40:16
Speaker
Oh, that makes a high level.
00:40:18
Speaker
Oh, see, I love Fireball.
00:40:21
Speaker
I mean, I don't mind it.
00:40:22
Speaker
It's just not my favorite.
00:40:23
Speaker
But I could see that being โ well, they would not put that in Super Mario.
00:40:27
Speaker
Okay, I've lost interest looking.
00:40:30
Speaker
But it had rum and it had like pina colada mix maybe and like some other fruits.
00:40:36
Speaker
I think I found it right.
00:40:37
Speaker
It's Bronco colada, rum, lime juice, pineapple juice, passion, fute, puree.
00:40:43
Speaker
and cream of coconut with a lime wheel.
00:40:46
Speaker
That's really good.
00:40:50
Speaker
That's in Celestial Park.
00:40:53
Speaker
It's a bar called Celestiki.
00:40:56
Speaker
So like a tiki bar.
00:40:58
Speaker
I forgot about that.
00:40:59
Speaker
How close is this place to Stardust Racers is what I need to know.
00:41:04
Speaker
That's like a map.
00:41:05
Speaker
It'd be pretty close.
00:41:07
Speaker
Do they have an official map out yet even?
00:41:14
Speaker
I don't think they do.
00:41:15
Speaker
I heard that they released the attractions on the app, right?
00:41:19
Speaker
I think that's what I heard.
00:41:23
Speaker
Oh, this place has all kinds of ones.
00:41:25
Speaker
They have frozen drinks, too.
00:41:29
Speaker
I definitely saw, and it was probably on Wallen Ballen's Twitter, the aerial image of the Tiki Bar.
00:41:40
Speaker
I'm excited for that area of the park, actually.
00:41:43
Speaker
I think it's going to be cool.
00:41:49
Speaker
Yeah, food-wise, nothing else.
00:41:52
Speaker
Yeah, a little underwhelming.
00:41:53
Speaker
I mean, some things sound really good.
00:41:54
Speaker
I mean, some of the items look pretty good, but... Oh, yeah.
00:41:58
Speaker
Miles' Park has a Yak Nog chilled malted beverage with vanilla flavor, and that sounds good.
00:42:05
Speaker
That does sound really good.
00:42:08
Speaker
And I think that's where they had that.
00:42:09
Speaker
Yeah, that mac and cheese cones.
00:42:11
Speaker
So, whoa, I missed that.
00:42:16
Speaker
There's no picture, which really they should have picked that as one of the pictures, but.
00:42:26
Speaker
Yeah, that drumsticks glazed with a wild berry barbecue sauce.
00:42:32
Speaker
That could be either very mid or good.
00:42:36
Speaker
See, but that's where I live.
00:42:41
Speaker
I want it to be mediocre or I want it to be amazing.
00:42:43
Speaker
I don't want the in-between of... You don't want to be unsure of whether or not you like it.
00:42:52
Speaker
Gosh, there's a lot of information they've released here.
00:42:58
Speaker
I was hoping there would be something at the Burning Blade that was particularly interesting because obviously that's going to be probably a big thing on social media with the windmill bursting into flames.
00:43:13
Speaker
But they just kind of have like burgers, cheddar bites, garlic steak, kind of typical stuff there.
00:43:26
Speaker
Yeah, I don't have much else to say.
00:43:32
Speaker
I'm excited for the Tiki bar.
00:43:38
Speaker
I need to go look at the renderings of that.
00:43:48
Speaker
So they also announced quick little info.
00:43:52
Speaker
We don't know much about it, but Volcano Bay Nights is a thing now.
00:43:56
Speaker
Um, they are going to have select nights, April 12th, 26th, May 3rd, 10th and 17th.
00:44:05
Speaker
Um, those are the days that they're going to have it.
00:44:08
Speaker
It's only like a three hour event.
00:44:11
Speaker
I'm seeing here that it's runs between 7 PM and 10 PM.
00:44:15
Speaker
So there really isn't much to it.
00:44:18
Speaker
Um, but you do get entry a couple of hours before park closing and
00:44:24
Speaker
We know there's a DJ and there's live, there's like meet and greets with DreamWorks characters and that's about it.
00:44:30
Speaker
But I did see that the charge was about $99 for a pretty short event.
00:44:35
Speaker
So I don't, I don't know about that.
00:44:38
Speaker
It does say that they're advertising that there's shorter wait time.
00:44:40
Speaker
So I imagine they're capping capacity for this.
00:44:44
Speaker
Um, but I'm also curious, right.
00:44:48
Speaker
Do they, what time do they normally close?
00:44:52
Speaker
They normally close pretty early, like at six o'clock.
00:44:54
Speaker
Yeah, like six or seven.
00:44:56
Speaker
So this is kind of like a unique opportunity because I'm sure the park has beautiful lighting and all of that with the gaming.
00:45:02
Speaker
So that would be a cool experience just to be there at night if you normally can't do that.
00:45:10
Speaker
But that does seem a little steep for three hours at a lot of parks.
00:45:13
Speaker
I feel like $99 is pretty steep for that.
00:45:19
Speaker
It looks like you get soda included.
00:45:23
Speaker
I think that's what you get.
00:45:27
Speaker
So you get soda included and shorter weights.
00:45:36
Speaker
And I saw that a day, like a regular day ticket is like $70.
00:45:42
Speaker
Have you been there before?
00:45:44
Speaker
I have, yeah, it's a great water park.
00:45:46
Speaker
And I do think this is a great opportunity to go see it at night because of all the lighting.
00:45:53
Speaker
But yeah, I mean, I'm interested to see how it goes because I heard that like Disney and I think SeaWorld, I think they do these events for their water parks as well.
00:46:08
Speaker
So they finally have it here, so.
00:46:10
Speaker
It should be interesting.
00:46:11
Speaker
And I don't know if it's sold out already because I tried checking to see if the prices range or if it's just 99 flat and it doesn't show me tickets.
00:46:20
Speaker
So I don't know if that's just my browser or they're sold out.
00:46:25
Speaker
I hope it's not more.
00:46:26
Speaker
It did just announce this this past week.
00:46:31
Speaker
I would check it out because it's still cheaper than a day ticket.
00:46:35
Speaker
So if you can get a majority of attractions done in that little bit of time, maybe it's worth it.
00:46:41
Speaker
Yeah, I know that during the day they have to control the Krakatoa and some of the other water rides with a virtual queue type situation, right?
00:46:51
Speaker
Yeah, your tapu tapu.
00:46:53
Speaker
It's your little wristband that you use for the virtual queues.
00:46:58
Speaker
Yeah, so I mean, it should be cool.
00:47:00
Speaker
I mean, I would like to check it out, but I'm not too close.
00:47:03
Speaker
So if I can make it, that'd be great.
00:47:05
Speaker
But $99 is kind of steep too.
00:47:08
Speaker
So I think I'll hold off and just hear the reviews.
00:47:11
Speaker
Yeah, give it a year to develop and see what happens.
00:47:13
Speaker
Yeah, I'll see how that goes first.
00:47:16
Speaker
But also in Universal News, we did hear that the Universal Horror Unleashed, I was going to say event, but it's not even an event.
00:47:25
Speaker
The year-round haunt in Vegas is opening August 14th, and tickets are on sale already.
00:47:31
Speaker
Yes, I have it pulled up now.
00:47:34
Speaker
So if you happen to live in Nevada, it's $59 for one-time access to each of the four haunted houses.
00:47:45
Speaker
Everybody else, it's $69.
00:47:49
Speaker
And then they also offer an unlimited option, which means you can...
00:47:55
Speaker
access each haunted house as many times as you want for $99.
00:47:58
Speaker
So that's 30 bucks extra to do them multiple times.
00:48:02
Speaker
I feel like that would probably be worth it if you're already paying $70 to be able to get multiple runs.
00:48:08
Speaker
But I am curious about how
00:48:10
Speaker
busy this will be I would imagine it should be more metered than HHN is given that it's open all year round and there's only four houses and the location is not as much of an event I guess and I would hope that it would be shorter to get into the mazes I feel like it would be busier it's gonna be busy at the beginning but I don't yeah like I think the first year two years maybe
00:48:40
Speaker
It'll be really busy, especially in a spooky season.
00:48:45
Speaker
Are they, is this going to be open like every day?
00:48:52
Speaker
When I pulled up the tickets, it showed that it was open.
00:48:56
Speaker
I think every day.
00:48:59
Speaker
And the four houses are, are houses that they've pretty much houses that they've recycled, you know, that they, I'm sure they'll be different, but they've been used before at HHN.
00:49:10
Speaker
You want to go through those?
00:49:12
Speaker
There's universal monsters, Texas chainsaw massacre, scarecrow, the reaping and exorcist believer.
00:49:19
Speaker
And apparently each of the houses will have its own themed area with like, um, food and beverage options and then some live entertainment as well.
00:49:28
Speaker
That sounds really exciting.
00:49:30
Speaker
That's interesting.
00:49:31
Speaker
That's what really got my attention.
00:49:32
Speaker
The fact that they're going to have like, it's not like going to HHN where it's just like a little sign and then you wait in this long queue.
00:49:39
Speaker
you actually have like a whole experience before you enter the house.
00:49:44
Speaker
It could be more immersive in that way.
00:49:46
Speaker
Just fully built to be HHN in its own environment.
HHN Updates and Speculations
00:49:50
Speaker
That's pretty cool.
00:49:52
Speaker
And like scarecrow, I never saw that.
00:49:55
Speaker
I didn't go that year, but like that is consistently talked about as one of the best HHN houses of all time.
00:50:01
Speaker
So that alone makes me really want to go.
00:50:07
Speaker
I'm interested to see how it does based on the location because it is off the strip.
00:50:11
Speaker
So it's, it's not walkable unless you're feeling rather adventurous, but it's in area 15, which I've heard a little bit about.
00:50:19
Speaker
They have a couple other attractions there.
00:50:23
Speaker
Is that where they have the like fake grocery store or whatever?
00:50:26
Speaker
Do you guys know what I'm talking about?
00:50:30
Speaker
I think that's the same location.
00:50:33
Speaker
Also, this is a gotcha because it's dynamic pricing.
00:50:37
Speaker
So it appears that they are dark on Tuesdays and Wednesdays every week.
00:50:42
Speaker
So they run Thursday through Monday.
00:50:44
Speaker
And the $99 tickets are basically only on Thursdays and Mondays and only in certain places.
00:50:52
Speaker
Otherwise, it goes up to $150 on some weekends.
00:50:54
Speaker
I bet that's going to change.
00:51:01
Speaker
Like the first couple days are definitely more expensive that it's open and then it kind of meters out further out.
00:51:09
Speaker
So I feel like if you buy them further in advance, it'll be cheaper and that kind of thing.
00:51:14
Speaker
There actually are some $99 Saturdays in December of 25.
00:51:20
Speaker
Yeah, early December.
00:51:21
Speaker
I feel like that's fairly reasonable for Vegas though.
00:51:27
Speaker
I mean, a drink is like $25.
00:51:35
Speaker
And that was the unlimited, too.
00:51:37
Speaker
That wasn't the... Right.
00:51:42
Speaker
I mean, I would definitely go for unlimited.
00:51:43
Speaker
I mean, I feel like the price difference is... Because either way, like, it's way more expensive on certain days for the single use.
00:51:51
Speaker
So it equals out to about the same difference anyway.
00:51:57
Speaker
And we know, like, your experience is so, at HHI, your experience is so dependent on the run that you have.
00:52:04
Speaker
So, like, to go all the way out there and do each house only once just seems, like, not the best.
00:52:10
Speaker
I wonder if they'll be able to batch instead of conga line.
00:52:16
Speaker
I bet sometimes at least.
00:52:17
Speaker
Yeah, that would be interesting.
00:52:21
Speaker
And definitely a different concept.
00:52:22
Speaker
Like, if you were able to just go through with your group, that would be cool.
00:52:27
Speaker
Imagine Insidious with like four people.
00:52:32
Speaker
Yeah, that'd be cool.
00:52:35
Speaker
But yeah, that's, I think that's about it for that.
00:52:41
Speaker
Any more information on that?
00:52:43
Speaker
I don't think they really didn't release anything else.
00:52:46
Speaker
Just the opening day tickets.
00:52:48
Speaker
I don't think they really will.
00:52:49
Speaker
I mean, there's not too much more to say because you can't really give away the houses.
00:52:51
Speaker
So we'll just... And the houses we've seen before too, so... Yeah, yeah.
00:52:56
Speaker
We'll just wait until the influencers go and see what they say.
00:53:06
Speaker
And then HHN speculation.
00:53:07
Speaker
We don't really have anything.
00:53:09
Speaker
That's basically the update for HHN, the Vegas.
00:53:12
Speaker
Besides Kelly manifesting a wicked house.
00:53:16
Speaker
I'm still doing it.
00:53:18
Speaker
I don't think it means anything, but I heard a flower reference in, I mean, like I listened to the wicked soundtrack like very regularly because Amelia, my daughter is obsessed with it.
00:53:30
Speaker
And I don't know why I didn't notice it before, but they do say the word Lily in No One Warns the Wicked, which is the first song of the musical.
00:53:39
Speaker
No one lays a lily on her grave.
00:53:45
Speaker
Yeah, we haven't seen anything new out of Legacy, right?
00:53:50
Speaker
I feel like, I don't know.
00:53:52
Speaker
I feel like there's gotta be something coming soon.
00:53:54
Speaker
Not necessarily like official stuff, but they, the code names have been out there for so long.
00:53:59
Speaker
interesting that there's been no other permit filings like right we're talking about the 20 the soundstage 24 situation like i feel like by now there would have to be something you would think yeah yeah um and i guess i would think that there's another spec map coming out soon but who knows yeah it's been a few it's been what like two months or 80s
00:54:27
Speaker
I said this is fascinating I never knew HHN went this deep like honestly I didn't either now I know because of this you guys are doing work I'm proud of you this is our HHN job right here yeah they should be paying you they need to release something soon though because we need content
00:54:53
Speaker
I'm here Tyler but it's fine each episode is just going to be us teaching Meg more about the HHN HHN education there we go but you've been you have been to HHN so you have one time yeah it was amazing and I need to I really want to go again I really want to go with my brother yeah yeah
00:55:23
Speaker
But he's always poor and I'm only somewhat less always poor.
00:55:27
Speaker
So yeah, it's not the cheapest event.
00:55:37
Speaker
That's what I was going to say.
00:55:38
Speaker
We do have some questions.
00:55:42
Speaker
Which question we're going with first?
00:55:47
Speaker
So wait, I think this is the.
00:55:49
Speaker
Yeah, this is the question that Meg was very excited about.
00:55:52
Speaker
So Gary asks, if Disney decided to make their own Halloween Horror Nights kind of event using their various villains for the inspiration of their haunted mazes, what would be three villains you'd want to see as source material?
00:56:04
Speaker
And what would be some of the highlights in each maze?
00:56:18
Speaker
So guys, I was thinking about this a lot today.
00:56:22
Speaker
So first of all, I don't even want to just pick three.
00:56:26
Speaker
I honestly feel comfortable saying, give me a Disney villain and I will design you a house right now because Gaston go.
00:56:36
Speaker
He's not even a villain.
00:56:37
Speaker
You have to make it the guy.
00:56:39
Speaker
If you're doing beauty and the beast, you have to make it from the guy from, uh,
00:56:42
Speaker
Maisande Lune, the asylum where they want to take Maurice.
00:56:45
Speaker
He's the creepy guy.
00:56:46
Speaker
You design it around him.
00:56:49
Speaker
And maybe give Gaston like one scene where he's leading the angry mob.
00:56:55
Speaker
But the rest would like, I mean, I guess.
00:57:01
Speaker
First part, you're in the woods when the wolves are chasing Belle.
00:57:06
Speaker
You see a Yeti or something.
00:57:11
Speaker
Second part, you're in the carriage with the Maison de Lune guy, or you're at the Maison de Lune where they're going to take Maurice and there's all the asylum stuff happening.
00:57:20
Speaker
Third part, you're out in the castle or like outside the castle in the rain when they're going to hunt the beast and there's like mob noises and they do something creepy and then you're done.
00:57:35
Speaker
I was thinking about this so much.
00:57:36
Speaker
I love the detail.
00:57:39
Speaker
No, it would not be one of my top three.
00:57:42
Speaker
Okay, so I thought about Ursula.
00:57:44
Speaker
I thought about Hades.
00:57:45
Speaker
Hades would be an excellent one.
00:57:47
Speaker
But my favorite that I thought about would be Dr. Facilier from Princess and the Frog because you can do a whole voodoo theme and it would be bomb.com.
00:57:58
Speaker
That's the first one that came to my mind, actually.
00:58:01
Speaker
Princess and the Frog.
00:58:02
Speaker
Yeah, he was the first who came to my mind as well.
00:58:05
Speaker
That's a good one.
00:58:06
Speaker
There's so many possibilities there.
00:58:08
Speaker
Like Hades would be so fun.
00:58:09
Speaker
Maleficent came to my mind because I was thinking if one was going to be scary, who would actually be scary and that one could be.
00:58:18
Speaker
Ursula has potential.
00:58:19
Speaker
I was thinking about her a lot.
00:58:21
Speaker
But I also think about it in terms of making an immersive and themed environment, what would be interesting?
00:58:27
Speaker
I feel like you could do a really cool one with Scar.
00:58:30
Speaker
I think Hades would be really cool.
00:58:35
Speaker
But there's just so much possibility and I love it so much.
00:58:38
Speaker
The only one that I was like, would be like Tangled because the villain is Mother Gothel and she's a fucking queen.
00:58:44
Speaker
So like, how are you going to love her?
00:58:47
Speaker
It wouldn't be scary at all.
00:58:52
Speaker
Yeah, they don't have any that are super, super scary.
00:58:56
Speaker
Jafar scared me a lot.
00:58:57
Speaker
Jafar, that was another one.
00:59:01
Speaker
The guy from freaking Hunchback of Notre Dame that hates Esmeralda because he wants her.
00:59:05
Speaker
That would be... That's scary.
00:59:09
Speaker
You could do a lot of like... Well, you could do a lot of like religious imagery and like... Go Kelly.
00:59:16
Speaker
Do you know who the scariest Disney villain is?
00:59:18
Speaker
It just came to me.
00:59:20
Speaker
The guy from Mulan.
00:59:30
Speaker
Like... Oh, that man gives me nightmares.
00:59:36
Speaker
For anyone who doesn't know, I'm absolutely obsessed with Mulan.
00:59:39
Speaker
That would be another one that would be an interesting scenic, for sure.
00:59:47
Speaker
Snow, but then I feel like there would definitely be some temple vibes, too.
00:59:51
Speaker
Like, where all the ancestor statues...
00:59:53
Speaker
yeah that'd be really cool actually like all of the army comes out from underneath the yes like yes yeah even the beginning scene when um shanyu jumps up on the wall and he's like i want everybody to know i'm here and the guy's like uh and shanyu's like
01:00:16
Speaker
go it's like that was a whole vibe like it was like dark it was on a tower it was that's the facade of the house you're walking into the sound stage and that's the facade it's like the he's got your baby guy yep yeah i don't know why but cruella de vil just popped in my head oh i had one for her slaughterhouse
01:00:37
Speaker
Slaughterhouse or like a furrier or like.
01:00:39
Speaker
Or like the from the live action ones where they're like in that weird factory.
01:00:47
Speaker
Just like dogs barking to scare you.
01:00:52
Speaker
You could get really messed up with that house.
01:00:56
Speaker
You could get real messed up with that house.
01:00:59
Speaker
Like that would be a rated R house.
01:01:01
Speaker
Which Disney would never do.
01:01:05
Speaker
That would never happen.
01:01:06
Speaker
I could do an entire podcast just about this topic.
01:01:11
Speaker
Okay, what are your vibes, Tyler?
01:01:13
Speaker
Headless Horseman, Legend of Sleepy Hollow.
01:01:17
Speaker
I think that would be super cool.
01:01:22
Speaker
I'm looking at Disney movies now.
01:01:27
Speaker
And you always have to have a villain of some kind, so...
01:01:32
Speaker
Also, oh, you know what would be a good one?
01:01:34
Speaker
Rescuers Down Under is Rescuers is Disney, right?
01:01:46
Speaker
Hold on, I'm looking it up.
01:01:51
Speaker
Because if it is the poacher guy from the Down Under movie, his house would be a good one with snakes and stuff.
01:02:10
Speaker
Okay, a pirate theme.
Classic Horror Movies Debate
01:02:20
Speaker
Yeah, I think I'm sticking to Princess and the Frog, though.
01:02:22
Speaker
That whole voodoo theme would be pretty cool.
01:02:32
Speaker
Or the island where all the kids go in Pinocchio.
01:02:40
Speaker
Yeah, that was creepy.
01:02:40
Speaker
That could be really good.
01:02:49
Speaker
The ugly stepmother doesn't need a house.
01:02:54
Speaker
Oh, they could always do a Queen of Hearts one for Alice in Wonderland.
01:02:58
Speaker
You could do a lot with that.
01:03:00
Speaker
I feel like every Alice in Wonderland like themed thing has the three classes.
01:03:07
Speaker
They're like, Ooh, it's trippy.
01:03:10
Speaker
I mean, Alice in Wonderland should be trippy.
01:03:12
Speaker
Oh, a hundred percent.
01:03:21
Speaker
So Max wants to know top five classic horror movies.
01:03:29
Speaker
He said that this is your time to shine, Meg, because you usually talk about newer films.
01:03:36
Speaker
What makes a horror movie a classic?
01:03:38
Speaker
That's what I was about to ask.
01:03:43
Speaker
I'm going to Google classic horror movies and we're going to go based on the vibe of that.
01:03:47
Speaker
So, this is like, okay, yeah, 80s, but then there's some like, it's mostly like 70s, 80s.
01:03:53
Speaker
What are classics to you, though?
01:03:55
Speaker
Are they older films?
01:03:59
Speaker
It's a wide variety because like at this point I would consider Scream a classic.
01:04:04
Speaker
Um, just because it sets the tone, but then I would also consider like Texas Chainsaw classic.
01:04:11
Speaker
I would consider like, um, the strangers or not the strangers when a stranger calls Rosemary's baby, um, birds, Alfred Hitchcock one, um, paranormal activity.
01:04:25
Speaker
Honestly, I think goes up there.
01:04:31
Speaker
Oh, and then of course, like the slashers, like Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, you know, all of those.
01:04:38
Speaker
So my top, what is it?
01:04:46
Speaker
I don't know if I could do a top five.
01:04:48
Speaker
It's just- I have three only.
01:04:50
Speaker
It depends on the day.
01:04:52
Speaker
What are yours, Kelly?
01:04:56
Speaker
That's definitely a classic.
01:04:59
Speaker
Silence of the Lambs.
01:05:01
Speaker
I've never seen that.
01:05:02
Speaker
Oh my god, you have to.
01:05:03
Speaker
And then I guess I would say, I was talking about this earlier before you came on, Meg, but the original Exorcist.
01:05:17
Speaker
Which, that wouldn't be in top five for me, The Exorcist, I don't think.
01:05:20
Speaker
Just because it didn't really
01:05:23
Speaker
It wasn't really a benchmark for me in any turn.
01:05:25
Speaker
I know that it was for a lot of people, but like it wasn't for me.
01:05:29
Speaker
So I don't think I would put it in my top five.
01:05:33
Speaker
But Halloween definitely.
01:05:37
Speaker
That's for sure a classic.
01:05:40
Speaker
But you know what?
01:05:41
Speaker
I think I'm going to put Paranormal Activity up there just because it spawned so many like.
01:05:46
Speaker
It spawned a lot of tropes.
01:05:47
Speaker
It spawned a lot of like spinoffs.
01:05:51
Speaker
Yeah, like the, you know, oh, Blair Witch.
01:05:55
Speaker
Blair Witch, yeah, that's what I was going to mention.
01:05:57
Speaker
Blair Witch started found footage.
01:06:01
Speaker
So I feel like you have to go with, like, different genres of horror, too, like slasher.
01:06:05
Speaker
Like, that's when you have to consider, like, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Halloween.
01:06:09
Speaker
Ugh, I don't know.
01:06:13
Speaker
What about, like, the really old, like, universal?
01:06:16
Speaker
Classic monsters, as they say.
01:06:19
Speaker
What do you even categorize that as?
01:06:20
Speaker
Like Dracula from way back in the day and Frankenstein.
01:06:26
Speaker
Because then it was horror.
01:06:30
Speaker
So even though that's not necessarily... I don't think any of those are what any of us would classify as horror now.
01:06:35
Speaker
They'd be more like drama.
01:06:36
Speaker
It's interesting, isn't it?
01:06:41
Speaker
But they were probably some of the first things where...
01:06:43
Speaker
the focus of a film was a monster and obviously we have plenty of monster films nowadays yeah they've just kind of evolved into different types so some of those might be considered monster films rather than horror films because those don't always go hand in hand yeah yeah so oh good question i'm gonna be thinking i think for me jeepers creepers was creepy as hell i'd
01:07:13
Speaker
And I think about the second one, the whole bus scene.
01:07:17
Speaker
Do you think about the tongue, Rafa?
01:07:21
Speaker
That movie was ridiculous.
01:07:23
Speaker
Like, those two movies freaked me out before, so I'll put that one there.
01:07:28
Speaker
I don't think Paranormal Activity gets enough credit.
01:07:30
Speaker
I feel like because of the sequels not being so great, they don't give it enough credit, but they're great.
01:07:38
Speaker
And Paranormal Activity is another good example of a movie that they had no idea was going to get as big as it did.
01:07:45
Speaker
Like, I think originally that had a... Oh, God, we covered it, and I did the background.
01:07:51
Speaker
But I think the budget on the original was, like, less than $200,000.
01:07:55
Speaker
And then the next one, it went up to, like, $8 million.
01:08:03
Speaker
That's a big jump.
01:08:08
Speaker
Especially when you think about like, I couldn't tell you it was that much to make.
01:08:17
Speaker
Paranormal activity is definitely there.
01:08:19
Speaker
Tyler, do you do horror?
01:08:26
Speaker
I think he fell asleep.
01:08:30
Speaker
Oh, sorry, you're breaking up.
01:08:36
Speaker
I'm not a big movie person.
01:08:38
Speaker
I mean, I like horror movies, but I think I said this on the last one.
01:08:44
Speaker
I'll say that I'm going to put a movie on my list to watch it and I never do.
01:08:48
Speaker
And there's not actually a list.
01:08:52
Speaker
That's why I don't really have a top.
01:08:55
Speaker
I mean, I just haven't seen enough.
01:08:58
Speaker
See now if you ask my brother, he has letterbox the app where you can like rate movies you've seen and everything.
01:09:06
Speaker
I should probably start doing that because it's kind of a good way to keep track.
01:09:08
Speaker
I definitely should, but also it's just like another thing that I would have to do and I don't want to do that.
01:09:16
Speaker
I was thinking about what kind of scary movies did I watch as a kid and it really wasn't anything.
01:09:19
Speaker
Like I just didn't.
01:09:21
Speaker
I wasn't watching those
Haunted Attractions Appeal
01:09:22
Speaker
I'd be like Scooby-Doo.
01:09:24
Speaker
See, my mom let me watch the original When a Stranger Call.
01:09:28
Speaker
She let me and my best friend watch it when we were like eight.
01:09:30
Speaker
And for anybody who hasn't seen that, the original, not the freaking child and the eight.
01:09:36
Speaker
Not the 2008 version with Camilla Bell.
01:09:40
Speaker
But the OG, it's a babysitter who like gets calls and guess what?
01:09:45
Speaker
He's inside the house.
01:09:46
Speaker
And then the kids die.
01:09:48
Speaker
And seeing a movie when you're eight where the kids actually die is like a big deal.
01:09:52
Speaker
You're like, whoa.
01:09:54
Speaker
You're like, it just got real right now.
01:09:56
Speaker
Like, what's happening?
01:09:58
Speaker
And for anyone that doesn't know, the remake of When a Stranger Calls, that entire movie is the first 15 minutes of the original.
01:10:07
Speaker
There's a whole other plot line.
01:10:13
Speaker
And that was like one of the first scary movies I saw.
01:10:19
Speaker
You should watch the original, Tyler.
01:10:20
Speaker
You would enjoy it.
01:10:30
Speaker
I'll put it on the list for when you guys visit next time.
01:10:34
Speaker
Yeah, I'll put it on my list.
01:10:35
Speaker
I want to be a part of that.
01:10:37
Speaker
I want to see you guys in these movies.
01:10:40
Speaker
My gosh, Kelly, that's so many babysitters.
01:10:45
Speaker
Listen, I'm bringing my kids.
01:10:50
Speaker
I'm imagining Milo and Benny together.
01:10:53
Speaker
It would be a disaster storm.
01:10:57
Speaker
This is exactly how it would play out.
01:10:59
Speaker
They would ignore each other and be super shy for the first 20 minutes and then something would happen that thrust them together and then they're just chaos.
01:11:08
Speaker
The hide and seeking would never end.
01:11:12
Speaker
So is my, so is my, all right.
01:11:20
Speaker
Uh, the next question.
01:11:22
Speaker
So bed home asks, uh, besides Disney, are there any other major parks you'd like to see throw their hat in the ring for something to rival HHN?
01:11:34
Speaker
This is a good question because you would want somebody that has the budget to do that.
01:11:41
Speaker
I was going to say is why I would want Disney to do it.
01:11:43
Speaker
Yeah, but Disney will never do that.
01:11:45
Speaker
So it's like, oh, absolutely not.
01:11:47
Speaker
Who else out there is at that level?
01:11:52
Speaker
And domestically, I mean.
01:11:54
Speaker
I would be like the Hershend Parks, but the Hershend Parks are not going to do that.
01:11:58
Speaker
They would do like a family-friendly walkthrough, but they wouldn't do something actually scary.
01:12:02
Speaker
So then my brain goes to Europe and I think about what Fantasjaland is able to achieve.
01:12:08
Speaker
And if they, they have no space to do it.
01:12:11
Speaker
But if they were to do it, it would be...
01:12:14
Speaker
It would be incredible.
01:12:15
Speaker
They would have to like redo their entire park.
01:12:17
Speaker
Like I don't know much about this park, but I do know that it's fucking tiny.
01:12:21
Speaker
They would have to like build it in the field behind the park or something.
01:12:24
Speaker
But if they did, just knowing the level of detail that they put into their park, it would be crazy.
01:12:30
Speaker
People would literally get murdered in it.
01:12:33
Speaker
It's a poor answer, but I don't think...
01:12:37
Speaker
I don't think there is anyone that can rival it because like obviously Seas puts on their Halloween event, which is like, you know, at the different parks, not in my opinion, you know, even close.
01:12:51
Speaker
And I checked out like Six Flags this past year, at least just one of the parks, but like... Not good.
01:12:58
Speaker
Not, not, not the vibe.
01:13:01
Speaker
It has never been.
01:13:03
Speaker
Well, that's the thing is...
01:13:05
Speaker
the Halloween events are just such a moneymaker.
01:13:08
Speaker
There aren't really any parks that don't have an event that have the capacity to have one.
01:13:15
Speaker
The only thing that even comes close is knots and knots is incredible, but it's still not even close to horror nights level.
01:13:23
Speaker
So I just can't think of anything that,
01:13:26
Speaker
any park that doesn't already have an event that would be good.
01:13:30
Speaker
At least domestically.
01:13:32
Speaker
The resources just because universal, I mean, they know how to execute that.
01:13:37
Speaker
That's what they do.
01:13:38
Speaker
Like film sets are the same as the sets for HHN in a way.
01:13:41
Speaker
And so they have all of that experience.
01:13:43
Speaker
And I think it's interesting to how our styles and horror houses and such change too, because like, think of the haunted trail we went on, like low budget as hell.
01:13:57
Speaker
loved it right oh i'm like at what point do we shift and we go this is so low budget it sucks and like now we need millions of dollars to like actually consider it a haunted attraction you know what i mean yeah
01:14:12
Speaker
I mean, I think there's space for everything.
01:14:14
Speaker
Like that was what I would call a high quality, low budget attractions.
01:14:20
Speaker
You know what I mean?
01:14:21
Speaker
Because there are low budget ones that are bad, but there are also low budget ones that are good.
01:14:25
Speaker
A lot of local haunts that are good.
01:14:28
Speaker
And so when you, it's a different vibe completely than what HHN is, the local haunts.
01:14:36
Speaker
And there are some places that execute, uh,
01:14:39
Speaker
Not, you know, at the same level, but not parks.
01:14:44
Speaker
Like, they just do Halloween events at Halloween, and sometimes they have multiple mazes, and they do it really well.
01:14:49
Speaker
But they're not also theme parks.
Horror Aversion and Mindset
01:14:56
Speaker
Man, I'm excited for spooky season.
01:14:58
Speaker
I want to go to a haunted house again.
01:15:01
Speaker
I found one, like, pretty close to us, and I really want to check it out.
01:15:13
Speaker
So let's, we're going with Mark's question here.
01:15:22
Speaker
Mark wants to know what's wrong with us.
01:15:24
Speaker
And Marcus wants to know.
01:15:30
Speaker
I'm so confused if I'm referring to him as Tom or Mike all of the time.
01:15:34
Speaker
I'm done with Mike.
01:15:36
Speaker
I think he's also done with Mike.
01:15:39
Speaker
Like he introduces himself as Tom now.
01:15:42
Speaker
So nobody come at me in the discord with the who's Tom react.
01:15:57
Speaker
And, Keith, I know all of you know that Tom is a whiny little bee when it comes to anything spooky.
01:16:06
Speaker
So imagine him and how he acts at parks, but in our living room.
01:16:12
Speaker
He can't even stand there for five minutes.
01:16:15
Speaker
He has to go run and hide.
01:16:17
Speaker
That's how it went.
01:16:20
Speaker
I mean, he legit just refused to be downstairs the first day.
01:16:23
Speaker
Well, yeah, and the second day when we were on three, he tried to jump scare us, which it actually worked for me because I was so paying attention to the movie.
01:16:34
Speaker
You heard him, but I didn't hear him come down the steps and he was like, boo, and I actually jumped because I was so into the movie.
01:16:41
Speaker
And then we rewound the bad scene.
01:16:43
Speaker
We had him stay there and watch it and that was enough to like end it for him.
01:16:52
Speaker
And to answer what is wrong with us for watching it, a lot.
01:17:00
Speaker
We love A210 that much that we will watch this.
01:17:03
Speaker
You know what's going on.
01:17:04
Speaker
And I think the better question is, what is wrong with the person who made that and wrote it?
01:17:08
Speaker
That's what I'm wondering.
01:17:10
Speaker
How do you come up with these things?
01:17:11
Speaker
And what problems do they have with women?
01:17:19
Speaker
Yeah, there's more to the problem here.
01:17:20
Speaker
Like, what's going on?
01:17:22
Speaker
There is, though, interestingly enough, and I'm not going to go into it, but there is a lot of psychology done between on women who like horror themed things and horror movies.
01:17:34
Speaker
And it's very fascinating.
01:17:36
Speaker
And it has a lot of stuff about like being able to control their experiences surrounding scary things.
01:17:42
Speaker
Kelly, you would be interested in it.
01:17:45
Speaker
Yeah, because it also fits with our anxiety conversation.
01:17:53
Speaker
So that's what's wrong with me, dear husband.
01:17:55
Speaker
That's what's wrong with me.
Scare Actor Roles and Ideal Scenarios
01:18:03
Speaker
So C.Pred, I think this is the last question, right?
01:18:07
Speaker
Well, yeah, it's the last question.
01:18:08
Speaker
So C.Pred wants to know, if you had the chance to be a scare actor, which character would you like to be or what task would be the ultimate scare in a house of your choice?
01:18:22
Speaker
Those are two different questions.
01:18:26
Speaker
If I were to be a scare actor, I have to think about this.
01:18:33
Speaker
I would be the man on the desk in the museum.
01:18:38
Speaker
What did you say, Tyler?
01:18:41
Speaker
I said I would be a slider.
01:18:45
Speaker
Oh, the ones with the knee things.
01:18:48
Speaker
Yeah, the knee pads are real.
01:18:52
Speaker
I was picturing small hamburgers.
01:18:55
Speaker
That's what I thought.
01:18:57
Speaker
Are we hungry or why?
01:18:59
Speaker
I mean, I don't know.
01:19:02
Speaker
I like the museum one because you don't have to make noise and you get to lay around on a desk a lot and you really scare people really bad when you do move.
01:19:11
Speaker
Yeah, you move like once every 10 minutes.
01:19:16
Speaker
I would love to be like on a bungee.
01:19:18
Speaker
Like how they always have people like
01:19:21
Speaker
Drop down on a bungee.
01:19:23
Speaker
That would be fun.
01:19:23
Speaker
That's not a specific character I know.
01:19:25
Speaker
Or a person in one of the dummy rooms.
01:19:29
Speaker
Like I was thinking about one moon's church room.
01:19:34
Speaker
I'd like to be the red demon in Insidious with the curtains where they just jump out in any freaking curtain.
01:19:43
Speaker
I got so in there.
01:19:46
Speaker
I would be whoever the character is usually a woman where her job is to just like walk to random parts of the maze and just scream at the top of her lungs to scario.
01:19:59
Speaker
That's the job I want.
01:20:01
Speaker
Just a roving screamer.
01:20:03
Speaker
Yeah, the roving screamer.
01:20:06
Speaker
I would have like two days before my voice would be gone.
01:20:10
Speaker
I'm like something where I don't have to work too hard and don't scream.
01:20:14
Speaker
I was just thinking like a task I would want to do in a house.
01:20:17
Speaker
I'm the ultimate stage manager.
01:20:19
Speaker
I would want to be like not actually doing.
01:20:21
Speaker
No, Joey would be behind the scenes.
01:20:22
Speaker
I would want to be like on some technical board back there, like hitting buttons and scaring people.
01:20:26
Speaker
Like just watching it all on video monitors.
01:20:30
Speaker
You want to be the orchestrator.
01:20:35
Speaker
I'm still like, it is interesting to think about ultimate scares though, even if it's not a person because the fun things like the bungees and, and some of that, the unique ones are what really get you.
01:20:47
Speaker
I was thinking of, there's been some of the, um, like psychological type scares, like the ones where they put you in the rotating tube and it's, you know, like, Ooh, I'm
AI in Horror and Theme Park Interests
01:20:59
Speaker
And then the ones where, um, even Busch Gardens has done this before.
01:21:03
Speaker
They have like the,
01:21:04
Speaker
mirrors on the ground and then the the line and it looks like you have to walk on it because it just falls.
01:21:10
Speaker
I was thinking like, what if what if there was one where initially it wasn't and then it just fell out while you were on it?
01:21:24
Speaker
Don't ever put me in a haunted house designed by Joey because he would make such a good one.
01:21:33
Speaker
I would be very into like technical scares like that.
01:21:35
Speaker
You absolutely would.
01:21:37
Speaker
Mark would be the same way.
01:21:39
Speaker
He would have some weird robots doing stuff to you.
01:21:46
Speaker
I was just looking at an article like earlier when I was looking at something that said that there were I think it said students.
01:21:55
Speaker
Students make psychopath robot by only exposing it to horror movies.
01:22:02
Speaker
And someone's just like, why?
01:22:05
Speaker
Why would you do that?
01:22:09
Speaker
We have like AI robots in the maze.
01:22:15
Speaker
That's the plot of Westworld.
01:22:19
Speaker
That's actually scary, though.
01:22:21
Speaker
A Westworld themed house would be sick.
01:22:23
Speaker
That would be interesting.
01:22:25
Speaker
You could go through like the different, you know, the Western one and the different ones.
01:22:29
Speaker
And the Shogun one.
01:22:32
Speaker
That would be super interesting.
01:22:35
Speaker
Who makes Westworld?
01:22:45
Speaker
Well, I think, does anybody else have anything else to add?
01:22:47
Speaker
I mean, Don also added that he would like to host HHN Hollywood this year.
01:22:54
Speaker
I think he said he's going to be living in California for nine months or something like that.
01:22:59
Speaker
So yeah, that's why.
01:23:01
Speaker
He'll be out there in California, so he wants to do Hollywood.
01:23:05
Speaker
I do want to check out the Hollywood event.
01:23:07
Speaker
Yeah, I would rather do it in a year that the new roller coaster is open.
01:23:14
Speaker
Is it bad that I just have zero interest in going to California, almost to the point where I say no, I wouldn't do that just because it's in California?
01:23:24
Speaker
I don't know what my beef with that state is, but it runs deep, apparently.
01:23:29
Speaker
I think you just hate nice weather.
01:23:31
Speaker
And being on fire.
01:23:39
Speaker
I have no interest in fire.
01:23:41
Speaker
I don't like hot weather.
01:23:43
Speaker
I don't like to sweat, so... It's really not hot there, though, in the same way that it is... No, it's not hot.
01:23:49
Speaker
Right, like Florida's disgusting, but...
01:23:53
Speaker
It's the humidity.
01:23:55
Speaker
Smoking like a true Midwesterner.
01:23:57
Speaker
It is the humidity.
01:23:59
Speaker
It's the humidity that gets you.
01:24:02
Speaker
It's the humidity that gets you.
01:24:04
Speaker
That humidity there.
01:24:08
Speaker
Gets me every time.
01:24:13
Speaker
I'm not doing the smoker voice.
01:24:18
Speaker
That should be your job in a haunt.
01:24:23
Speaker
Have a recorded audio.
01:24:28
Speaker
I heard there's some scary people in there.
01:24:37
Speaker
That voice haunts my dreams.
Podcast Future Plans and Close
01:24:47
Speaker
Well, I think that's about it for today.
01:24:51
Speaker
We're at an hour and a half almost.
01:24:53
Speaker
Do we have anything coming up that we want to talk about or?
01:25:01
Speaker
We don't really have any.
01:25:02
Speaker
It depends what happens in the month of March.
01:25:06
Speaker
TBD on some of that.
01:25:09
Speaker
But I think either way, maybe something is happening.
01:25:12
Speaker
So we'll have something to talk about.
01:25:14
Speaker
Something will happen.
01:25:16
Speaker
We'll come on here and yap about something.

I don't think that having a podcast is just being able to yap guys.
01:25:26
Speaker
I think our, our March episode will be, yeah, I guess we'll wait and see, but for April, we'll have the California parks to talk about.
01:25:36
Speaker
Not that they have any events going on that I noticed.
01:25:40
Speaker
CGA obviously doesn't.
01:25:42
Speaker
Um, I think it'll be too early in this season for discovery kingdom to be doing anything.
01:25:48
Speaker
But we'll still talk about it.
01:25:53
Speaker
We'll plan our crossover episode.
01:25:57
Speaker
That would actually be super fun.
01:25:59
Speaker
We should do that.
01:26:04
Speaker
Once, yeah, once whatever IPs get released, we'll plan.
01:26:13
Speaker
