Transcript

We survived. Yay. Yay. Hurricane Milton. This is coming out on Saturday. So more than a week ago. So it came across, the eye actually came over us. Did you know that? No. Yeah, I came- Well, didn't the eyeball basically fall apart? I don't think so. Anyway. Anyways, we survived. We are here. We were without power for what? Three or four days? Two. Two days. Two and a half. Felt like four. We just got our wi-fi back. Yay. Yesterday, on the 16th of October. So it took our wi-fi people like a week

to get our wi-fi back. Still, don't act like it's taking them forever. We're very lucky to have both our power and our wi-fi now. Yep. Considering we weren't expecting our power back until yesterday. That is true. Which, by the way, today's Thursday, yesterday was Wednesday. Melody told me not to do this. I'm gonna do it. I need to put out a plug real quick. This is a very time sensitive plug. So if anybody is watching the archive of this, meaning if you're watching this or listening to

this, you know, months down the road, this doesn't apply prob- probably. No, it won't. If people are listening way in the future, like years from now, I don't know why, this is a very date specific topic. Oh my word. Just get on with it. I need to put a plug for Markiplier because he has called upon his masses and we are part of his masses. So you can skip ahead if you don't really care. He did a audiobook slash podcast called Edge of Sleep. The Edge of Sleep. The Edge of Sleep.

You can find it where all podcasts are available. Just like this one. Just like this one. They recorded a TV show for it. It is on Amazon Prime. If you don't know who Markiplier is, a very famous YouTuber, he just made a movie called... What's his movie called again? Oh my word. Nick acts like the bigger fan boy, but I'm the bigger fan. I just- It's true. I forgot. Iron Lung. Iron Lung. He just made a movie called Iron Lung. I think, isn't it that if his TV show, Edge of Sleep, hits number

in the top 10 for Amazon Prime, Iron Lung- All he said was that it would open doors. It'll open doors. So I want him to have these doors opened because people didn't believe in a small creator like this, even though he's not really that small, but in the eyes of Hollywood, he's pretty small. Yes. Go watch it. Currently, he is at number what? Four? He was last night. Last night, he was at number four on Amazon Prime. We're trying to get him to number one, even though there's probably

only a couple hundred of you listening right now. If that. Go watch it. We need to bump those numbers up. And it was actually pretty cool. It was actually a really good show. I wouldn't be recommending it if it wasn't good. No, okay. If Edge of Sleep was trash, I would say it's trash, but go watch it. It's not trash. It's actually really good. Yes. We binged watched it in the night. It only takes, what, an hour? No. Two hours? Two hours. It takes two hours to watch. It's six episodes of about 20

minutes each. Yep. So give it a watch. All right. Back to your episode. Welcome to another Universal Orlando podcast. I'm Nick. And I'm Melody. And I'm standing. Why? Because this is easier than sitting down. Okay. Now, the real question is, am I going to be standing for the rest of this episode? The answer is no. No, I will not. Because it's a part two. This is a part two. Yay. Sorry. It's just when I turned, I wasn't expecting him to just be staring

at me from the closet. Yes, the cat is in the closet. He's just staring at you menacingly. Very. Is there anything else we need to say in this intro before I leave? In this part two, you're going to hear the rest of the houses that Nick went through. And I watched YouTube videos. Cool. Food reviews, kind of. We did talk about that, yes. And our hype list. We did indeed talk about that. Yep. But before you get into that, socials. Yay. We're on Instagram and Twitter. You can find us at

another Universal podcast on Instagram and another UO pod on Twitter. Slash X. Can I sit down now? Yes. Okay. That is on. On to the rest of the episode. Bye bye. Yes, kind of. No. Never mind. No. You'll hear us again. Totally. Next house. Now we're going into a really good house. Oh, I know this is Slaughter Cinema 2. Never mind. It's an okay house. That makes me wonder which one you're talking about. This one

had lots of flashing lights. Did you have any questions for the last house? Not really. Okay. Because there wasn't much to it. So going right off the bat, the two posters you see on the left hand side when you first walk into the house. Do I own or rent my home? Yes. Goodbye. Sorry, YouTube decided to give me a random survey. When you first walk into the house, there's going to be two movie posters on your left hand side. Those movie posters actually have references to

last year's haunted houses. So there's going to be they name Blood Moon. You can literally go back and read them. I don't feel like squinting out the TV. I could read one very well. What are you talking about? See? Mississippi Midnight and the Wayward Wicked. No, I mean, okay, do you see the very fine print on the bottom? Oh, that's what I'm talking about. Okay. And then on the other side, it's like an abandoned contest stand. But this is one of the rooms when we did our, when I walked

through these three houses before anyone even went through the houses. We were not allowed to unmasking the horror. We were not allowed to take pictures of any of the movie posters. Oh, I like that too. Like in the monstrous house, they had the paintings to introduce the monsters. This one had the movie posters to show what room you're going to be going into. Yeah, I did like that. The little cartoony concession foods and curtain. First room, Mardi Gras murders. Ooh.

I pointed this out to Connor. What? Pay attention to the thing. The silhouette in the window. So you see the jester in the window. Uh huh. They don't show it in this. Well, I don't think they really could. But I saw it on my, oh, do you know what I'm about to say? Not really. So our tour guide for the unmasking the horror walkthrough a month ago, he said, when you first come into this room at the window, there's going to be a lady. She flashes the window. Oh, don't worry if you bring your kids

into this, it's like a silhouette. So you won't actually see anything, but she flashes the window and then the jester comes up and kills her. Oh, and then I guess what we saw was just him dancing around at the end. You see him dancing at the end. Yeah. But the second time we walked through this house, I pointed out to Connor and he was like, oh, that's cool. Cause I also saw it for the first time and I'm like, wow. Then the vomit. The second time I walked through this house. So he's vomiting

on the floor. He vomited at us. And now it's just like party on dude. Cause even after he vomits, he's just like, you see the dead lady who got stabbed. She actually had just gotten proposed to. I hope not by the dude on the couch. Cause he was just very, no, the jester killed them. Huh? Well, I know. I mean, I hope her fiance wasn't the dude on the couch. Cause he's just like, woo. That was her fiance. Oh, well creepy jester too. And then now we're in the,

so now we're in heavy, heavy metal hell 3d. This one had flashing lights. So the first room you walk into is like a bedroom and the bed is up on the wall and the body is split in half because it's not as gory as I thought it would be. Apparently if you play heavy metal backwards, it summons demons. That's what they used to think. Heavy metal to begin with. Yeah. But there was a record player in there that you could see it was spinning backwards. And that's what caused the

dude to get ripped in half. And the second room we go into is hell. A heavy metal hell, which I found funny. Oh, okay. So you got a scare actor up front. He's playing a guitar. Our actor was different. The actor that was up on the little stage directly in front of you was the main heavy metal hell 3d dude you see on like the cover art. Oh, cause on the right, you have a mohawk skeleton dude. Yeah. With a chainsaw. Then like a girl with funky hair jumps out and then they move on to

killer cringles. Now we're at killer cringles. You see elves eating a body in the silhouette window thing. Then you got Santa coming out on the right with the axe. You got if you pay attention, the, uh, there are kids in the, in Santa's bag. There's a gross body on the table and an elf comes out to eat it. Night of the undig. I didn't, this was probably the room I didn't like the most. Really? Yeah. Like scary wise or just you didn't care for it? I didn't care

for it. Yeah. It's very bland. Oh, it's basically just one big hallway. It doesn't really seem like a cavern though, because it's so blue. Oh, what I will say about this room, they use water effects in this and there's like water dripping on you as if it's like a cave. Oh, that's cool. But the skeletons, they don't really look clownish because of the coloring in the room. Yeah. Yeah. Then you go to the chain. I have the name, hold on. Hatchet and Chains Demon Bounty Hunters.

You're fine. This was a cool room. Very small room though. I'm only giving it a cool room because of this scare right here where you walk on your left hand side. The demon hunter is like wrangling a demon. Then you have a demon chained up coming out of a doorway with a guy with an axe. They go boo.

Then there's the demon on the chain again. And then you move on to Blood and Chum. So Blood and Chum, our first walkthrough of this house, I pointed out to Connor about like, oh, look at the feet above you. You can tell you're underwater. There's a swimmer that jumps out. I really like the look of this room. But I also really like underwater stuff. Oh, so they actually got the scare. So the shark that's in this room, the big puppet shark, the first time we did this, nobody was

maining the shark. So the second time we did it on our second walkthrough on Sunday, we actually got the scare, which was really nice. Also, you made the shark seem a lot bigger than it was. I was slightly underwhelmed when I saw it. That's a pretty big shark. It's big, but I just expected kind of the size of the owl lady. I guess. Now we're going into mummy strippers. Whoa, you got a mummy on the stripper pole with people at the table and then she'll pause and like suck the soul

out of one person who more flashing lights in this room. Yeah, very, very flashing lights. It wasn't very, it wasn't that bad. Then you had the cyborgs. This was probably one of my favorite rooms because the cyborgs were okay. They, they were cool. I like the sounds in this, but I guarantee you this dude isn't going to point the camera up because yeah, he's not doing it at all. Oh wait, there he goes. Okay. So you got like a dead cyborg above you. Oh, he didn't do it at all pretty much.

So if you guys happen to listen to this before you go, because you like getting spoiled, if you walk through slaughter cinema too, and you get to the cyborgs, do yourself a favor and just look up because there's lasers going above you because there's a war going on above you. And then when you kind of around that first corner, just pay attention to up because the creator of this house liked to play with depth of field. So you can see the bunkers off in the distance and they're like

massive. And it was really cool. Yeah. I also liked how there was the fog and then a jumpscare comes out with a person all lit up because that would really work in a foggy setting. I like that. Now we're going to Goblin's Feast. Yay, more flashing lights in this house. Or should I say the human chop house? I did really like the look of the outside here that looked like a restaurant tavern. So again, video dude didn't really record going into the house. When you first walk in the

outside facade, it's like a tavern and you got Goblin's Feast kind of like strung up. As soon as you walk underneath that Goblin's Feast sign, look what's actually on the building. It's scratched onto the building, a human chop house. Oh, because do you understand the story of this house? Kind of, yeah. Basically, Goblins are having a feast. But we're the menu. They're eating us. So it's like an alternate reality where instead of like humans eating cows, it's Goblins eating humans and they're

breeding us to eat us. And we kind of just wandered into their chop house. As I was doing all of the houses, I think this was like the second or third house we went to or something. And this was number one for a while. Oh, like mainly because of your hype list? It was number one on my hype list as I was like I was re-ranking things as I was going through the houses. You do have a list for that, right?

Yes. Okay. Halfway through the night it moved, but before like the halfway point, it was number one for a while. And he won't spoil what topped it yet. No. Mainly because I like houses that don't actually scare me and I can actually take in the detail of the house. And this was really, really cool looking. This was a fun house. Yeah. We did like an Irish jig we were walking through. We were like dancing. It was very fun.

You have a Goblin who's kind of welcoming you but also jumping at you. Yep. You can see a flattened body. It's kind of gross. That's not very edible. There's just like humans everywhere. Well, think about it. Flattened chicken. I guess. They're doing the same thing. Just see gross body parts everywhere. It's very cool though because they have a lot of different types of Goblins. Yeah. Like the Goblins

have different personalities. You have the Lady Goblin who's stirring a pot with a giant popping in from like the window behind her. Yeah. Then you're being jumpscared by a whole bunch of different Goblins who have like giant knives and stuff. Then you go out to the woods. Now you're outside. I feel bad for some of these house attendants though. Why? Because they're just standing there with all these loud noises. Yeah. You have to be wearing earplugs or something then if you're

going to be standing there for hours. Yeah. But that's also not that hard of a job either at the same time. Oh, I like this. There's a giant troll hand. Did it move? That popped out. Not in the video. Yeah, because it didn't move for us either. Either it did move and he didn't catch it on time because you can hear like a roar. I heard the roar when I was going through it too, but it never moved. Oh. But it's very cool looking. Yeah. Then you have like the water wheel. I really like the look of

this room too. What does that say on there? Good Goblins feast? Yeah, good Goblins feast. Then you have like a little Goblins house. You have three Goblins sitting at a table. Then you have one guy who just like pops out. Silhouette of a Goblin chopping up something and lots of jump scares of Goblins and like troll looking characters too. Like Goblins and trolls. Yeah. I don't know what this room is. That looks like a troll, not a Goblin. Oh, could it be a hobgoblin? Maybe. Then you got the

cages. You got a lady in a cage who's asking for you to help her out. Oh, you have the tall Goblin. I like that too. That's a really big Goblin. And then you have the old lady Goblin jump out in front of him. Oh, the fancy Goblin. He's like, no, the food is escaping. I didn't get that scare. It's not really a scare though. It's so funny because you have all the other Goblins and then the very last one is all dressed up and fancy and it's just like, no. Anyways, moving on to,

oh, did you have any questions about that house? No. Oh, the woods right before the water wheel. That's the room that had flashing lights. I'm just noting that for people who need it. Okay. Moving on. Major Sweets candy factory. Also kind of had a boring front, but I think it makes sense because it is just a factory. I guess I was just kind of expecting more like Willy Wonka looking at something like a horror Willy Wonka. They're welcoming county schools. Progress county

schools. Then you're welcomed by Mrs. Sweets. Did she jump scare you or did she just welcome you in? She kind of just welcomed us in. You see crazy kids in the window behind her. Yep. You have the teacher pop out who was, he's so nonchalant about being stabbed by candy canes. He's just like, the kids are going crazy. And there's Taffy telling us where the factory is. Then creepy girl pop out. Oh, I had a question about this room. What? There's like the, what did

I label this room? Supply room kind of looking thing. And then there's a boy in like the stage and then there's a table with a big red button on it. So I missed the big red button. How did you miss the big red button? I missed this big red button. What does that mean? Did you see the second big red button? No. Oh, okay. No, I missed this big red button, but I got the next. Okay. What does the button do? So our tour guide, he told us pay attention for the buttons and it'll activate a

scare. Okay. Cause people were like pressing it all throughout this video. You can see people just like smacking it. So I had no idea what it was supposed to do. It just activates a scare. Was it just like the kid going crazy? No, no, it's something else. I know when I clicked mine, I think it activated a water scare somewhere. Oh, so kind of like the queue line for the mummy, where you like can activate like the wind blowing. You'll see it happen though. It's not like you

click it here and then like two rooms ahead. It happens. Okay. So you see them pressing it and you don't, I don't know what's happening. Okay. Did you see how gross caramel cover? Do you see how it's off? Oh wait, nevermind. What the screen it's light lights up. I think whenever it's not lit up, you can click it. Maybe. Yeah. You see the girl who overdosed on candy and then the girl covered in melted caramel looking stuff. Yeah. Bodies. That was really gross. Very like, oh, I tried pointing

that out. Like if you look ahead up above you, there's like boxes of candy moving on a conveyor belt. I tried pointing that out to Connor because I saw it. He never saw it. It's really cool looking. It is. Then you have more kids going bonkers. I was also creeped out by the kids who also died. I thought it was just going to be like all just kids going crazy, but no, they're also like overeating and they're turning into candy. Yeah. Mrs. Sweets come out from the back of a delivery

truck. More kids. You have like the, I don't remember. Oh, I hated that. Oh, the person jumping out with the person with the taser. They kept just clicking it at me. The like in this video, don't they just like click it twice and then go away? Yeah. Basically they just kept clicking it at me as I went. I'll stab. And I don't know what this room was. I hated it. There's people on the other side just banging. Oh, so annoying. Oh, this was slightly scary too. Person getting injected

with candy. Frosting kind of looking thing or icing. Girl with a big sharp candy cane. I think that was major sweets who just popped out. That was major sweets. Okay. You got the furnace. Someone who's yelling that it burns. I think someone's in the furnace. Then fog. Oh, it's like a worker, but that's not the furnace. Maybe she just got burned by something else. I don't know. What, what is that? Oh, I didn't see it very well. Can you go back? What is that? I didn't write that

down. What is that? A person hanging upside down. Yeah. And then you have a body who was kind of stuffed like a pinata, but very gory. And then Mrs. Sweets was a chainsaw. She kind of seemed like the main character in this house instead of major sweets. Oh, well, how did it end? Did they miss something? No, I guess I missed tiny babies. I'm like, we'll be back with your regularly scheduled episode with a baby. Anyway, so in the beginning on major sweets desk, there was a button, but also

candy bowl that says take one. I clicked the button. I don't think it did anything. I think it might have squirted water on me. Oh, but then I asked our tour guide that I've been reading that people said when they tried to take candy from the candy bowl that says take one, that was also a guest activated trigger. And he was like, oh, I've heard that too. I've tried it. Nothing happens, but let me know if something happens for you. But he was only told of the two. Yeah, I didn't see

the other button. I don't think it was shown in the video. I don't think it was either. On to triplets of terror. The final house. The final house. Very fitting. You got the police car outside the very foggy house. Very it was not this foggy when I went through. I'm pumping it. House number is 3324. If anybody wants to know, we've talked about that in our very spoiler heavy. Oh yeah, we did unmasking the horror, which we never labeled properly. That's

our fault. Oh well, we gave a lengthy spoiler warning, didn't we? Yeah, you're you first see junior. So you see junior. I think it's a grandmother's head. You see harmony. No, I actually I think that's melody. Harmony is bunny mask. OK, which I found disappointing. I kind of wish they did melody as the muddy mask because melody is like the hockey mask looking thing. So now you go through the podcast room podcast room. This is a safe room. There are no scares

here except the team member just waving at you. You did not tell me that melody kills a teen at the refrigerator. Kind of. I didn't know that was melody. I only figured that out because of the one jump scare that you said who it's supposed to be. Yeah, because then you see harmony and then junior pops out of a closet holding a head. Yep. Another head, mother's head. You hear screaming. If anybody can hear that dog barking, all I have to say is I ripped the dog. Yeah, they briefly

show it quite literally rip the dog. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's ripped in half. I didn't see the. The baby is just like not the doggy. I'm sorry, doggy. But I didn't see like any of the dryer moving or anything in the video. I think you can hear it thumping. OK, because the person trying to quit it before you fully got up to there. Also, Junior's mask is terrifying. Really? I find it really off putting. Why? Because it's like it's weird. It looks like skin, but also doesn't. And

it's just big and I guess then you're in the alleyway. This alleyway also snows. See Harmony with the bad harmony does like the bats and Melody likes her swords and do you like swords, Melody? No, I do have a dagger, though, somewhere. Are you OK, little baby? She's cooing. Those are happy coos. Are you going to like Halloween Horror Nights when you're older? We're not letting her watch the video. People are wondering. She's not facing towards it. No, she is not. I mean, to be

fair, people do bring their small children to Halloween Horror Nights. Moving on. So this is the room I want to talk about. OK, do you see how Junior just popped out from Melody comes out and like chainsaws, no skills. What's that skills on? Circular saw a circular saw the dude in the chair. She didn't do that for us. She went off script instead of running towards a dude. She ran towards me just straight for me. Do you know what's sad? The way that Melody dresses is also kind of

the way I dress, which I found really creepy. Not the mask, just like she also has the exact same birthday as you, except for the year. And she's a brunette anyway. Yeah, lots of similarities. This is creepy. But that's how I could tell who was who, because I waited for this jumpscare because you told me about it to figure out who was Melody and who was Harmony. Yeah, but no, she it's not like I misunderstood and thought she was coming towards me. She went straight for me.

I pooped my pants. It was not a fun time. Now you come to the homeless personality. I was very, oh, yeah, the homeless guy pops out with like his guts falling out of his stomach. Melody comes out from the side. Harmony giggles around this really, I don't fully understand this. I was not expecting that mannequin to be there. I what is that? Why is it a person? Why is he overly bloated? Oh, because this is cake decorating area. So could you stuff him with cake?

They might have stuffed him with cake. Because that doesn't look like a natural bigness. No, because I think you see a junior cutting off a head in the window to know there's a recreation of their birthday party. Yep. If you pay attention to all the small little details throughout the house, basically, it's all leading up to this room to where they recreate their birthday. It's very gory. More juniors. His mask is just creepy. His mask is a little creepy.

Who was that? Melody, I think. I think Melody pops out at you at the end there. Then you hear the sirens. Harmony jumps out with a bat. She's very giggly. Harmony's kind of funny. Yeah. She's like, those are all the houses. Any questions? I only wait for triplets of terror. Oh, I flashing light warning. Oops. It's in the recreation room. Lots of flashing light. It really wasn't that bad. Well, if there's any flashing anything, the only one is the quiet place where that one actually

made me have to like. And quiet place. I said a quiet place. I thought you said, oh, my brain heard insidious for some reason. She wants to talk. No, she doesn't want to talk. She wants to eat. Harmony's moving on. There, you can eat the unused mic. Anyways, any questions about that house? No. Wow. So you really didn't have any questions. Oh, because you also, I had the question. No, she just like came up and just laughed at you. Oh, she's happy. OK. She's got a toy. You didn't

have any questions. Because you kind of talked over the questions that I was going to have anyway, of like, what scares got you? Oh, fine. Anyways, moving on. What's next? Mrs. Host. Hype list. Do you want to go first? Do you want me to go first? I have both of our hype lists list before. I will read my. I have three hype lists. What do you mean three hype lists? So I have the one where it was the beginning of the season where the one that we actually recorded.

Pretty sure where all the houses were announced and I made a hype list and then I made a hype list after I went through the three house tour. OK, well his before hype list. You just want me to read it? I have it. I have it too. Oh, fine. Go ahead. How are you doing from one to ten or

ten to one? I'll do ten to one. OK, so before I saw or knew anything about the houses other than just the name and the literal descriptions, I had ten as triplets, nine universal monsters, eternal bloodlines, eternal bloodlines, eight goblins feast, seven major sweets, six monstrous, five insidious, four Ghostbusters, three museum or deadly exhibits, two slaughter cinema, two and a quiet place. Then what was your new one? And then I'll say my before just a year before.

Fine. My before was ten triplets, nine slaughter cinema, eight insidious, seven goblins feast, six monstrous, five eternal bloodlines, four deadly exhibits, three Ghostbusters, two major sweets and one quiet place. Interesting. Interesting. Do you have a middle one after we talked? OK, then my middle one. Because I didn't see anything. I was just told. Right. Did mine telling you of anything affect? It probably would have moved up triplets, which would have made

slaughter cinema last. No, but then slaughter cinema would have also moved. So that would have made insidious last. Interesting. So my updated list after I heard things about the house is eternal bloodlines, major sweets. Oh, ten eternal bloodlines, nine major sweets, eight goblins, seven monstrous, six museum, five slaughter cinema, two, four insidious, three Ghostbusters, two triplets, one quiet place. So triplets went from ten to two.

What would you say was the last one? Eternal bloodlines? That didn't really move. So now after. Do you want me to do my after first or yours? You can do yours. This one we actually explained. So for me, number ten deadly exhibits, the museum, museum. OK. It just it just seemed very tame compared to all the other ones. And it was just OK. Like because there wasn't really much to it. Like it felt like a museum. Just it felt like you're going through a museum who was

just hosting a spooky day. Pretty much. OK. That's reasonable. My number ten is major sweets. That's fair. Only because it was short and we couldn't really tell that much of a story throughout it. There isn't much of a story, but I like story houses. Because here are my notes for which one did I just say for what's last? I can't remember. Deadly exhibits. Yeah, I wrote little overall stuff for this and for museum I wrote very simplistic, but I like the living exhibits.

OK. Then for majors, we eat the one that well, I'll say that later. OK. So. Number nine for me, slaughter cinema two. OK. Explain yourself. It wasn't that good of a house, but it's not number nine worth of the game. I liked all of the different rooms. Some rooms were very gory. That was my overall feeling. It's kind of the point. I think it was just because while it was really cool, I liked all the different rooms. I just

felt like all the rooms were short, which I know is the point. Uh huh. I think it was the point. Which I know is the point. Uh huh. But to me, it's like, wow, I really like this and it's done. Let her play with your mouth. I don't like this. What am I at? Nine? Yeah, no, yes. Universal Monsters internal bloodlines. Yeah, that's not that much of a shocker. Yeah. Just I didn't really understand the story that much going through it.

That's about it. I can't talk with her hand in my mouth. Number eight, monstrous. Do you want to know why? Why? The baby room made it drop. It probably would have made it higher on my list, but I ever since I became a mom, baby death scenes or like babies getting hurt. I hate that. So when I saw like, especially like the one where like the mom is crying for her baby, because the monster is literally holding the doll and eating it. Yeah. I was just like,

uh-uh, nope. I'm literally holding Rose right now. I did not like that. But everything else was super cool. Okay. Like, especially the giant owl creature. That was cool. It was just the baby killing monster. I was not too keen on. She agrees. My number eight is monstrous. Oh, I just didn't like it that much. I mean, I liked the big mannequin and that was about it. I think it also goes back into how this is not the lore we grew up with. Yeah. I feel like if

we grew up with it, it would have been higher, but it's not like our cultural. What's the word? I'm trying to go for not lower, like legends, legends, stories. Yeah. You're number seven, insidious. What to me, I'm not a fan of the continuous jump scare thing. And the fact that it was also like, I couldn't remember who was who from the movie and I do not appreciate dark houses where you can't see what's happening. So those mannequin rooms would have made me very upset. Shame on you.

And moving on and the black bride screen is terrifying. No, like, as you can tell stuff that would like genuinely freak me out is not as high on my list. I want to feel exhilarated, but not like existential dread after coming out of the house. I guess my number seven is goblins feast. Oh, okay. It was fun, but it was just, didn't you say that was one and you dropped a seven? Yeah. Oh, out of the first five that I went through was at one, then it should have just dropped down to

six or five. If you want the other houses, did it just shift around later? Then yes. Fine. Because what was happening is after every house, when we turned off the recording, you're like, all right, what's your hype list out of all the ones that we agree with my hype list anymore. Now that I just rewatched the video, but that's okay. After the second house we went through, Connor was like, all right, which one do you like better? What would you put in number one? So we did it. And then

we did three and he was like, okay, what's your updated hype list now? And then we did four and then he did five. And then I am now holding tiny baby. And then he did five. And then he did anyways. So then we took like a 15 minute bar break basically. And that's when we sat down and it's like, all right, what's your hype list after the five houses? So I gave it to him. I'm like, I can't keep doing this after every house. My it's too taxing on me mentally. Oh my word. Because I

couldn't keep them straight in my head. That's fair. Anyway, number six. Wait, did you say what was your seven? Goblins? Yes. Okay. So you're just going to keep it at that? Just for me, like I said, after rewatching it, I probably would have dropped this one a little lower because I, I'm now realizing how janky it was. I think at the time I was just like, oh, that's super cool. I really liked the story. But number six was eternal bloodlines. Okay. I just, I found it cool having

all the different monsters and stuff. But yeah, you were number six major sweets. Wait, no, not major sweets. Museum, deadly exhibits. That's my mic. That's technically the pop filter, not the mic. What'd I say? Museum. I liked it. It was fun. A lot of these pretty much after like seven, I think seven or eight, they could all be tied for number one for me. Museum could have been tied for

number one for you. I have nothing to compare it to. All these houses, I have only went through, if I am combining the last two years that I went, so HHN 27, I think it was, and then HHN 32, I've only been at that point, I had only been through about 10 houses because I went through four or five houses in 27 and then six houses in HHN 32. So this is the first time you actually

went through all the houses. Yeah. Let go. Anyways, so I have nothing to compare it to, whereas all these other podcasters and YouTubers, they have multiple other years to, you know, compare it to. So they can make a very definitive. Oh, you're just comparing it to the other houses, not past years. Yeah. You're number six with museum. Moving on to number five. It was fun. It was cool. I liked it, but I think just my other ones just topped it out more. Okay. For me, number five was

major sweets. Okay. I said I was going to go back to the notes for this. My notes, my overall thoughts for this house was just very gory. Yeah, I could see that. I think out of all the houses, it was probably the most like gross. I would say gross. Not really gory, but more just gross. Yeah, but it made me feel icky, but I thought it was still pretty cool. I liked all like the creepy kids and

I don't know. It felt like an evil Willy Wonka at the same time. Yeah. So especially with the delivery truck for some reason, I was just like, oh no, there goes the world. My number five is Slaughter Cinema 2. That's it? You have no notes? I did not write notes with these. No. I thought it was cool. All of the little mini rooms in the house were great with the exception of like maybe two. Number four, which I'm now realizing that I should have made this

number three just for the fun of it, but it's number four. Triplets of Terror was my number four. I liked it, but it was also kind of, I think the other ones just were a lot cooler to me looking wise because overall it was basically just a house with people jumping out. It was a really good story, but like decoration wise, it was just kind of creepy people popping out with a mask. But I did really like the story and that's what made it higher on my list. The story was really

good. Yeah. What number was that? Four. Mine is Ghostbusters. Only four? Pretty much. Why? Other things topped it. Okay. I like Ghostbusters. To me, it felt like they played with a temperature some. When you see the big Garaka, I feel like they blew cold air onto you right when you walked into the room. I thought that was cool. I liked how they actually use their proton packs. It was just a really good house. Number three. Can you guess my number three at this point? Do you

remember what's left? Nope. Goblin's Feast. Why? I just really, really liked it because it was the whole fantasy going into that world kind of feeling. Like it felt like you're going to a world of goblins and giants and I really liked it. It felt like you were in that type of world. I didn't really feel like you're really escaping a pen for anything until the end where they're like, oh, the food's escaping. Yeah. I just really, really liked it. My number three was triplets.

For three? Did you do that on purpose? Nope. That's why I was making that joke about how triplets should have been three. I just, I liked the story going through the Unmasking the Horror Tour and really bumped it up for me. And then going through it. Yes, it's a short house, but I thought it was really fun. My problem with that house was that you made out the kids mask would be bigger. That's what the dude said. You still got a feeling that they're kids. Yeah.

Yeah. So the Harmony was also very kidlike throughout the entire house, but that's fine. I think Melody and Junior were the ones. Well, Junior was very obvious that he grew up. Yes. Melody just seemed more mature. Harmony was like just the insane one. They're all insane, but Harmony was kind of like had a mental crack or something. Yeah, I could see that. They're all insane, but she wasn't mad. Number two, Ghostbusters for me. Really? Yeah. I've even, I

still find this super ironic because I still just didn't care for the movie. And while yes, the house followed the movie, but it did it very well to me with like the lab. And I really liked Garaka. He was really cool looking. I also really, really liked the state puff marshmallow men who showed up in the house. That was fun. And I don't know. And it had like a story too. It did have a story. That's why it's at my number two. I think I know what your number two is. What? Insidious.

Nope. No? A quiet place. Oh, okay. Why? It was a real fun house. I liked all the animatronics. I liked the puppets. Did the first initial jump scare bump it down to your number two? No. Because it got you so bad. I just like insidious not much more. Oh. Spoiler alert. Number one is insidious. Well, mine's the quiet place. So it works out because I loved the quiet place house. Because out of all, because you're talking about inserting yourself into the movie and whatever,

this one really, really felt immersive. It did. To that. Just all the different scenes were really cool. We talked about the dock. I loved the dock. The dock was really cool. Still very concerned about the claw punching out of the doorway. I hope people didn't get hurt by that. Other than that, I think it was also just terrifying to me because they're spidery creatures to me. But I just loved that house. So do you want to quickly go over food? About that. What? Do you forget? No.

You also forgot scare zones. Did your scare zones change at all? I didn't see any of the scare zones. Oh. Let me say this. Watching the houses through a video is fine. The scare zone is a lot harder to videotape. So, okay. When they just announced it, my five to one was Demon Queen's Torch of Fear, Duality of Fear, Blumhouse, and Swamp of the Undead. That was before I saw anything. Yes. You've only seen three of them, right? Or did you actually see them all?

I pretty much saw them all. Okay. Yeah. Because I also did three winkings for this. So I did when they announced it. And then I did after people started talking about them on social media, seeing snippets on online. So then it turned into number five is Duality of Fear, number four, Blumhouse, three Demon Queens, two Swamp of the Undead, and one Torture Fair. And that was just- Oh, really? Yes. Torture Fair jumped up that high? Yes. You made fun of me for that being number one. I remember that.

It's cool. And then that was just from social media and seeing stuff online. And then my ranking for when I went through it is the same as social media. Okay. I'm surprised Blumhouse is it just because it was more of a photo op than a scare zone? Duality of Fear. There's nothing in that scare zone. There's no props. It's just some chainsaws and a couple other scare actors. And that's about it. Blumhouse, it's just a photo op, basically.

There's like some purge people walking around, but there's not many props. It's not that good of a zone. And then three, two, and one can almost all be tied for one. But if I had to rank them Demon Queens, there wasn't that many props, but there was enough to where it actually fleshed out the zone. Swamp of the Undead. It was cool, but it was small. And you just like zombies. Pretty much. And then Torch of Fear. It was big. It was immersive and it was fun.

Oh, I will say for Blumhouse, when we were walking through it, we walked through that zone four times, I think. Did she hit you in the head? Fun. I think we walked through it four times. There's a black phone and I think it's a girl. The little tiny child scare actor, the black phone would ring and then the scare actor would go and answer it. And what was cool is we were walking through the zone and I'm just going to say a girl because it looked like a girl. She was walking

towards the phone because it was ringing. And I make the little phone sign. I like put it up to my ear. I'm like, I think you got a phone call. And I say it audibly. And then she goes, no, it's for you. And she pointed at me and I'm like, oh, that's a little spooky. Moving on. Food. Show ranking. We have to rank the show. What do you mean rank the show? Rank the show. Or talk about the show, you mean? You need to rank the show. Where do you have the show on your ranking? Um, just, you know,

one out of one. I'm actually going to put it at one. That show was really good. Yes, I know you called me and raved about it. It was amazing. I want to buy another single night ticket and just go for the show. That's how much I liked it. And he's not a show person. I am not a show person. That says a lot. And it's just a dance show. That's it. There's magic in it, but I think their music. Okay. They played one song. So to get everybody hyped up for the show before the actors

actually came out and performed. People post about TMS for that all the time. About the hyping up TMS. Sure. You don't see that? No. The song they play in the beginning before the show actually starts. It's called Welcome to the Black Parade, Steve Aki, 10th anniversary remix. Oh, it is like a dubstep rave remix of Black. Welcome to the Black Parade. You sent that to me then? I didn't. I meant to, but I forgot to. Then do it now. And oh my word, them playing that song before the show

actually starts and the TMS hyping everybody up and dancing down there was amazing. When you listened to everybody pull your cars off to the side of the road, play this song and just imagine you sitting in a stadium and the sound techs just take the volume wheel and crank it all the way to the right to make it blast the song. The seats were shaking from the vibrations of the song. Of the bass? Yes. It was so loud, but so good. I loved it. Because when bass is too heavy,

it gives me a headache. But there, the show has a story. The main character comes out. He meets this woman who's the love of his life, but he's trapped in an endless loop of watching her die at the end of this circus over and over and over again. And he needs to set her free.

And to set her free, he needs to give her the key. And at the very end of the show, because it's just a big circus act and he's trying to like give her this, he's like holding a lantern and then halfway through the show, it looks like surreal comes down and basically says, you need to give her the key to set her free. And then I think he pulls out the lantern or because then he comes out with a box, like a present box. Oh, no, no, no. He opens it,

sees the key in there, shuts it. They do more circus act. He comes out with a box. He goes up to the girl because she's dressed in white, gives her the present. It's a real heartwarming time because you're like, oh, she's going to get set free. She opens up the lantern that's in the box, pulls out the key and then all the circus people are lined up in the back and she does this little dance to get over to them, hands the key, they do a little dance, hand it to the next person,

they do a little dance, so on and so forth down the line. And then she gets the key back and the music kind of changes and then they all scurry off. And then this one actor who, if you're sitting in the RIP area and you have that little stage in front of you, you can see his facial expressions a lot more. And he is very creepy and he's very good with his facial expressions

when he's dancing. And he kind of runs up, puts the lantern back in the box and kind of like smiles and like moves a little bit behind the main character to kind of show that what he did didn't really work. And then he kind of scurries off into the back and then they do another stuff. And then the main, the bride lady gets put in this box and they're going to shove these flaming

swords through the box. And the swords are actually on fire because they do magic. They're going to shove these flaming swords in the box and he needs to get the key back because he no longer has the key to set her free. So he's trying to find the key. He doesn't get it in time and she gets stabbed with the swords. Lights go dark, something happens and I think the show basically restarts. It was a really good show. I want to see it now. And again, all these YouTubers, they don't record the full

show. They record basically from the beginning to the end, but that's it. They don't record the black parade part. And I was trying to find it and I can't because I want you to see that too. Just listen to that and then I'll jump into the video, I guess. Uh, okay. We got show rankings. Food. Okay. I didn't write down all the food that I tried. So do you want me to go over the food that I wanted to try? Not really. This is long enough. You should probably just go for the food you did have.

Okay, fine. So the food that I did end up trying, if you guys remember what I wanted to try, what I did end up trying was the Bloody Goody Bag, Furbit and Falafel, The Last Key Pop, Pizza Fries, because I didn't have them last year. I finally got them this year. And you've said what you thought about those already. Yes, I did. Well, not The Last Key Pop. I tried the Millbrook's Baked Beans from A Quiet Place. I tried the Ghostbusters S'more and that's it.

Okay. Our plan was on the Sunday, we were going to go through one or two houses and stay in... Oh wait, I also had the Goblin Pie. So me and Connor's plan for that Sunday that we went, because we had our RIP tour on Saturday, the Sunday we were going to check out of our hotel room, go over to the parks, take it easy and do stay and scream and bang out a couple houses

that we wanted to do again. So on that Sunday, we lined up for stay and scream right at four, got in early to the, whatchamacallit, the World Expo trade, the World Expo stay and scream. There couldn't have been more than two or three hundred people in that stay and scream. Whereas over in New York, there were thousands. Oh. Because the New York stay and scream let out into all the IP houses, whereas the World Expo let out into Goblins and... So the World Expo was Goblins and...

Museum. No, no, no. It was Goblins and Eternal Bloodlines. Oh. Those were the two houses you could get into early. Slaughter Cinema 2 and Museum were the houses you could get in at six o'clock. Okay. So we stayed in the World Expo. I asked him, hey, do you want to go do Goblins again? Because if we said yes, we would have been like the first people to walk through Goblins when it opened. But we said, no, we'll walk through, we'll wait for Slaughter Cinema 2 to open.

Because in our holding area, you could line up right at the front gate that was like blocking from the rest of the park. And right at like six, they were supposed to open the gate and let you go. Mm-hmm. So that we would be the first to Slaughter Cinema 2. So we had two hours before six o'clock, because we got in there right at like 4 30-ish. So an hour and a half. So the Goblins Feast food booth was open and we tried the Goblin Pie. If you have ever had the McDonald's Apple Pies... I have not.

It's basically like those, but more mushy. Okay. Good, but mushy. So for like the six bucks that I paid for, it was actually not that bad. Okay. We did Slaughter Cinema 2, ran over a dead museum. I already talked about all that. And then we were going to go toward... We took Swamp of the Undead to get to... Because we saw Insidious was at like a 30-minute wait.

So we were going to go there, but they didn't clear that part of the park, because apparently there was a ride over there that hasn't been cleared yet, because I had a delay. So they wouldn't let us go that way. So then we looped back around, and by the time we looped around to go to Insidious from the other side of the park, instead of going that way, we went that way. They had finally opened it, got on Insidious with... It said 25 minutes.

It was actually like five. We got off Insidious, went over to Triplets of Terror, because that was at a 25-minute wait. No, that was at a 30-minute wait. And we were debating between Triplets or Ghostbusters. So we chose Triplets, because I had a shorter wait, because Ghostbusters was at 50. So we went through Triplets again. It took us 10 minutes to get through a 30-minute line. And then we got out, and then we said, all right, do we want to try and do

Ghostbusters or a Quiet Place? And then we're like, all right, if it's 30 minutes or less, we'll do whichever one is 30 minutes or less. We looked at the times, and both of them were at an hour. But with the way the night was going, if we went through either one of them, it probably would have taken us like 15 minutes to get through the line. Maybe. But we didn't want to chance it, because we wanted to try the food.

So we walked over to the Insidious... Not the Insidious, the Quiet Place food booth, ordered our food. Tell your experience. I'm going to. Okay. I ordered... It was just me who ordered, because he didn't want anything yet. I got the Millbrook's baked beans. I talked to the person at that front area, walked inside. They didn't say a single word to me. He just asked me for my receipt. I showed him. He ripped it.

He handed me the food, and then he just waved at me. And I just waved back and I walked away. But what did pull me out of it a little is I think a lady had a problem. No, a lady asked for more seasoning on one of her things. So she just went up and like, can I have more seasoning? I'm like, shut up, lady. You're going to get us killed. I should have shushed her. That would have been funny. Yeah, but she might not have appreciated that. She probably didn't understand.

She probably would have been like, excuse me. I should have been just like, shhh, monsters. Because like when you're walking in, there's like a window and you can see like a monster walking by. Ugh, no. It was really cool. How were the beans? I tried the Millbrook's baked beans. So we went and found some chairs outside of Torture Faire. Like some nice chairs where we could see the scare zone happening. So I sat down,

started eating my baked beans while Connor was like playing on his phone. And he looked over and he's like, oh, that looks really good. How is it? I'm like, it's really good. And he goes, should I go get some? I'm like, yeah, you should. So he wanted to go get his. My review of it, it's mashed potatoes, baked beans, cornbread. That sounds good. Very simple. I did not think a baked beans would work on mashed potatoes. It worked. It was really good. Of course it would work. If anybody gets it,

the cornbread is very dry. So what I recommend doing is breaking up your cornbread and taking a piece of the cornbread and just getting some bean with some potato and eating it all together. I normally have cornbread with chili and if it's dry, I just crumple it up and put it into the chili. Yeah. After that, Connor thought it was really good. He like licked the bowl clean, basically. Oh, I did get the eclair. I forgot. I got the wooden board eclair. The chocolate bar on top was good.

The eclair itself was very stale. How did it look? Because I remember in the picture, I said it looked very fake. It's unfortunate because my nail that was on mine kind of fell over. And I saw the workers trying to like get it back on top and they couldn't get it. So I just, I like gave them the hand motion like, oh, it's fine. And then they gave it to me and kind of like shrugged in apology. Because, you know, still being quiet. Yes. But here's the eclair with the toppled over nail.

Honestly, that's more realistic anyway. It was good. The chocolate bar was good. The eclair itself was very stale and not that good. It can, I could tell it's been in a fridge for a while. Other than that, it was okay. Oh, the bloody goodie bag that I had during the RIP tour buffet. It wasn't that good. So I don't know if it was just because of the buffet or if the item itself wasn't good, but I just didn't like it that much. And Connor agreed with me.

He didn't like it that much either. Falafel, the forbidden falafel, the one I got was very cold. Yeah. More grainy. The falafel was more grainy and it just wasn't that good. The last key pop, really good. Maybe you want to get more cake pops from Starbucks now. I want to just make my own. Do you know how to make your own cake pops? Like I said, if you want them, you make it. You make a cake. Then do it. And then as soon as it comes out of the oven, you put it into a blender

or a stand mixer and you just mix it until it's basically back into like a dough ball. Then do that. I might. I don't want to bake. What else did I try? Oh, the s'more. Okay. I think that's the last thing. Yeah. Like save that for last. Let me pull up my picture. This is the one that I really wanted. So here's my picture. It's chubby. Here's a different picture with different lighting. It looks more burnt in that one. I took this photo right outside the blue light outside of the booth

to get the blue light. It kind of has a 3D look to it. But the top was nice and melty, but the middle was a normal marshmallow. Giant marshmallow. None of it. It didn't cook through. The chocolate was cold. The. Graham cracker. The Graham cracker. I don't know. I don't want to call it stale. It's like a Graham cracker that you open in the morning and then eat it at nighttime. So stale. Stale. Yes. But it was like, it was no longer crunchy. Oh, so it was like soft. Yeah,

it was soft when it shouldn't have been soft. Basically what they did with this is they prepped this somewhere else, put it on a sheet pan and then saran wrapped the sheet pan. And then all they did to prepare it at the booth is they would take a sheet pan. The dude with the torch would just like torch an entire sheet pan at once. And then the person would just go in and scoop them and hand them out. Yeah. That's not going to fully melt a giant marshmallow. But even if they did that,

it would probably lose its shape by that point. Pretty much. So what I did to eat this is. Over the burn on the outside. I, I didn't want to get that messy. So I tried picking it up, realized that that's not going to work. Tried picking it up with my fork and just like my index finger. And I was able to actually pick it up. I went to go eat it and it was going to get my beard all messy. Oh, beard review. Am I doing it out of five? Yeah. Five being very, very, very messy. I'd give it a

four, maybe a three. Only because you can counteract. I asked for a fork and a knife. So what I did is I ate it in parts. I took the marshmallow man and just ate the marshmallow. And then I took the chocolate and the graham cracker and just ate the chocolate and graham cracker. That is all. The end of your day. How did that go? The reason why I didn't try more food. So we were watching

the weather all day long. And while we're eating our food from a quiet place, because we ate our food from a quiet place, got up and said, all right, let's go get our food from God's busters. Cause he wanted to get two ghost buster s'mores. He was going to eat one and then take the other home to his girlfriend. And then he also tried the Korean corn dog. But as we were eating our quiet place food sitting down at the table, we noticed that the scare actors from

torture, torture fair, they were starting to leave. And I noticed it was a very light sprinkle. And I'm like, oh, why are the scare actors leaving for like a slight sprinkle? Like to the point where it was like, I couldn't even tell that it was raining. Like the misty spray bottle we have downstairs. Pretty much. But even less than that. Oh, like I only felt a couple of drops. So I'm like, that's weird. So I got up, we went to a quiet ghost busters standing in this massive line.

Cause everyone wants the marshmallow man. And then it starts to rain. Like, no, no, no, no, no, no, a slight drizzle. So we're standing there. We're like, should we get out of here just in case it gets heavier? And he's like, nah, this is fine. This is acceptable. In a split second, it goes from just a slight drizzle, like, oh, we can find, we'll be fine. To the point where it's a complete downpour and we need to seek shelter. Cause every, at that point, everyone in the line had scrambled

and we just ran. So we took cover underneath the transformer's queue. Because for all of Nick's preparedness, I left my bag in the car. Cause we looked at the weather and we're like, oh, it's not going to rain. He even checked like Fox news is a weather app or whatever. And cause they have a reliable radar and even the radar from a news channel, shame said it wasn't going to rain. So even your daughter is ashamed. So we took shelter underneath the transformer queue and it led up

a lot to the point where it was just a slight drizzle. So we're like, okay, it's over. We leave the transformer's queue and we get back in line. As soon as we get back in line, it starts pouring again. So then we take shelter underneath of the transformer's bar area. A lot of people were sheltering under there. So we went over there. It led up enough to where we could run over, order our food. And then we decided to just leave after that. So we ordered our food. He only ordered one

marshmallow man and one corn dog. So we got our food, walked back over to the transformer's area. And as soon as we get underneath cover, it starts pouring again. So I eat my thing. I hold his marshmallow man. He eats his corn dog and then he still needed to go get the one for his girlfriend. So it came to a point where he was like, I'm already soaking wet. So I'm just going to run over and just brave the rain. And then we just walked, we left with his two marshmallows. Like that got

soaked. As we were leaving, it wasn't really pouring. It was more of a heavier drizzle. But it was fine. So that was our day. That was our Sunday. And that's why I didn't go get more food because we left early. And that is the end of this very, very long episode. Before editing, we were at three hours. Oh no. I hope you listened all the way through. I'm sorry. I did not expect this to take this long. Yeah, it's fine. Oh well. Anyways, that is all. Bye bye. Bye.
