Transcript

And welcome to another Universal Orlando podcast. I'm Nick. And I'm Melody. This was supposed to be a bonus episode, but it is not a bonus episode. And that's Minecraft music in the back, Melody. We are not a Minecraft podcast. I don't have a remote. You literally have a controller right there. Just move it. And now it's gone. Shut up. You know, it's supposed to be a bonus episode. It's not a bonus episode because work got in the way of recording. E.

So, a little context. We went to Halloween Horror Nights again. Did we already talk about that? Nope. Okay. We went to Halloween Horror Nights. This is my third night. Melody's first. I got to go. She got to go. We went on a Sunday. Mm-hmm. A week or two ago. When this comes out. Probably like, what, two weeks? Yep. We did it with Express. We did. And Stainscreen. And Stainscreen. I think we discussed it in the line for one of the houses. Maybe. But, yeah. Totally worth it. Very much.

I don't think we waited more than fifteen minutes for any of the houses when everything was posted at like an hour. I saw someone complain about why would you use Express if you waited in Stainscreen. Ah, yes. We did it because we needed to leave soon. So, if you, I even think, even if you did Stainscreen, if you did Stainscreen without Express, yeah, you can bang out the back of the park before the front of the park even opens. You can get done with four houses in like an hour.

They were complaining that you also miss out on some scare actors or whatever. I don't think we missed any scares. I think we missed like one scare. But it wasn't that big of a deal. I know I missed some in Goblins, but like I talk about, you'll listen again, it was because I was literally the first person. Spoilers! Even if you miss out on some, you're not guaranteed a scare if you go later in the day versus right when they open.

Even if the scare actor is in there, you're not gonna, you could just miss it because they decide not to scare you and instead the next person who looks more scared than you. Yeah, or that, or, you know. Anyways, moving on. I completely forgot what I was trying to say. I'll probably figure it out later. You're not guaranteed scares. Yes, you're more likely to miss them if you do Stainscreen because all the actors might not be there, but they also might not be there later in the day.

It all depends on staffing. But yes, you do have a greater chance of missing someone in the beginning versus later. Oh well. But if you only have one day to go, you don't really care that much. My feet have also healed since. Yes, good job. And then if you do Stainscreen with Express, they usually open up Express before the normal line, so they empty out the Express lines. So here's what happened. They did it for one of the houses we were in line for.

So here's exactly what happened. We got in line for Stainscreen for the World Expo area. This year, I think they only had technically three. They had World Expo, which let out into Bloodlines, Goblins. Those were the two early houses that opened up at like 545. And then at six, you could go over to Slaughter Cinema and Museum. Then you had New York, which let out into like the big IPs like Ghostbusters, Slaughter, not Slaughter, Triplets, Insidious. The big IP houses.

Basically, yeah, the front of the park houses. And then you have the Today Cafe, which is basically for anybody who has Stainscreen, but the other two Stainscreens filled up, which in this case, New York definitely filled up. But World Expo definitely did not. Did not. Although they made it sound like it was getting packed and like, scooch up, fill up all available space. Like, we're fine. Yeah. But, yeah, I can see the end of the line.

We're fine. Today Cafe basically just lets you see the opening scaremonias if you care about that. And then it lets out at six o'clock, I think, which in my opinion, it's not that good. The scaremonias are cool, but you can almost get the same, you know, experience through a YouTube video. And quite honestly, you could probably get a better view on a YouTube video. We were also unfortunately not able to see the show. Nope. Oh well. So here's how our night went.

We got into Stainscreen around, what, four o'clock? Technically three. Technically three because we were just waiting for it to open and we were just playing games on our phone. Lined up at like 345 because we saw other people lining up. They let us back into the Stainscreen area around four o'clock, lined up for goblins. Well, technically we lined up for both houses. Right. So if you want to do goblins or eternal bloodlines, you get into the one line. They have a sign.

They have a sign. Well, it doesn't really matter anymore because this is coming out after the event. Oh yeah. Lined up for goblins. They let us back into goblins around. Closer to five. Around like 530. When you get to that back of the park, it splits off. You can either go get in line for goblins or you can get into line for eternal bloodlines. So we got into line for goblins. The express line. Used our express. Got to the, we were the first people in the express line.

We were surprised because there were some people in front of us. Not many because we purposely got there as early as we could. And I was telling Nick, I was like, we could still potentially be the first people for goblins. Because the people in front of us could potentially not have express lines or going to bloodlines. All the people in front of us all went to bloodlines. Yep. Which was a mistake. Big mistake. But you'll listen to that later. Kind of. Maybe. I don't remember. You will.

So we got into line for goblins. We were the first two people at the front of the express. Goblins opened up early. It opened up at what? 540? We got to see the staff go in. Yeah. We saw the goblins go into the house and it was really cool. You're going to hear us scream about it on the mic audio. The fancy goblin was so funny. A lot of the goblins were like waving and like doing a little jig.

But then the mayor goblin, the last goblin you see in that house, he did a full on jig into the house and was waving at me. He was dancing and being extremely extra. Just funny. It was really funny. We got into goblins. We were the first people through goblins. And then we got right out of line, went straight over to eternal bloodlines at what? 543? And then... As we're going through the line, because we scanned in, as we're walking, that's when they opened up the house.

Yeah. And they emptied that entire express line. And that express line was long. No, it was long. It was like what? It was like 50 or 60 people. That's still 50 or 60 people at once. They didn't pause us and let normal go through. They just emptied the express line, which was really nice. Did eternal bloodlines right when they opened, got out of that house around like 546, walked around and... Well, we didn't walk around. We went to slaughter cinema.

Yeah, we went to slaughter cinema, did slaughter cinema, got there before they opened. We were the first group through slaughter cinema. No, we weren't. They let the regular line go through. Oh yeah, they let the regular line go through. But they only let like 20 people to go through. And then they let us go through. And then they emptied the express. But we were still one of the... First groups. First groups to go through. Went over to... Food. Food. Got some slaughter cinema food.

Mm-hmm. Did we talk about that now or after the audio? Yeah, let's talk about it now because I don't think we had any in-park audio. What did you... Ooh, hiccups. I got the Rocks from Hell. Mm-hmm. Which were basically fried cheese. Pretty much. They were black. No, they were like jalapeno poppers, weren't they? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Jalapeno poppers. They were black, which kept tricking my mind. I kept expecting that they were gonna taste super burnt. And I don't care much for that taste.

Like, I don't care much for ribs. Because I always have the burnt flavor. Mm-hmm. So I was expecting that. So every time I tried to eat one, I had to tell myself it's fine. It's not burnt. Not burnt. They taste normal. What'd you think of them? I liked them. I didn't even try them. You got your... No, you didn't. I got the non-vegan walking taco. Normal meat. So it was basically Doritos, sour cream, cheese. And a bag. And a bag. And a Dorito bag.

And you would think they would break up the meat and make it stringy. Because that's what it's supposed to be. No, I just got one big chunk of meat. Just plopped right in the middle. We also got a drink. You got a drink. I actually had to list... Hold on. Good job. Shirley... Really? Shirley Black. Ah, yes. Shirley Black. Oh, because we got this... Because I was like, that was not the first Halloween Horror Night food we had that night. Oh, okay. So rewind. While we were waiting for...

Stay and Scream. Stay and Scream. To open. So Stay and Scream this year was at Lombards. You've talked about this in a past episode. So if you look at Lombards, like if you're facing Lombards, to the left of it there's a little quick service restaurant, I think. Maybe. I don't know. People were eating there. But outside there's two Coke Freestyle machines with a bunch of tables and chairs.

We snagged a nice corner table in the shade right next to the Coke Freestyle machine and we just sat there for an hour. Next to a puddle. Next to a puddle, but that doesn't matter. But across the way we can see Fast and Furious and then they put up that quick service food kiosk thing that kind of looks like a food truck. It kind of looks like the one where you get jacket potatoes. Yeah. A little smaller.

But anyways, it's a little quick service place where you can get like drinks and stuff where they just pull it out of the heater and give it to you. But that, it's the place where Major Sweets food stuff is at. Yeah. We were expecting that to open. So we thought that food booth was going to open up with HHN, but they opened it up like 30 minutes early. So normal guests could get it. So I walked over, got myself a Kurt's cranberry. Which is? It's the Halloween ornites drink. Yeah. It's alcohol.

The special canned one. Really good. It's supposed to be a seltzer. It doesn't really taste like a seltzer. Nick is now trying to find a non-Halloween version. Anyways, what's that peanut butter cup thing? I have the name of it. Cyclops cup. Ah, the Cyclops cup. It was okay. That threw us off. I thought it was just going to be a frozen Reese's peanut butter, Reese's peanut butter cup, but just bigger. It was not. It was like an ice cream-y.

Yeah, it was kind of like an ice cream sandwich, but not ice cream. No, not an ice cream sandwich. No, well, because the outside was. The outside was just a chocolate shell. Yeah. And the inside, it was cold. It was like a mousse. Yeah, but cold. But, well, isn't mousse cold? Not always. I don't know. I don't have it enough. I have like this German mousse downstairs and it's cold. Oh. I don't know. It was fluffy. I think it's a mousse. Anyways. That was okay. I only ate half of it.

It was pretty sweet. That just wasn't. And then you got the lemonade thing. Sour cherry lemonade boba. I liked it. You didn't. Surprisingly. Very surprisingly. It was. It just tasted like slightly flavored sparkling water to me. That's why I didn't like it. Okay. Oh, well. I liked it. Anyway. Back to... Now back to Slander Cinema Food. Walking taco. It was good. I could walk with it. You didn't want to walk with it. You were like, oh, let's just sit at this table and waste our time.

We walked through a scare zone with it. Oh, that was funny. Okay. I wish I had my mic on. So we walked through the swamp of the zombies, swampy... Swamp of the undead. Swamp of the undead. Swampy. Whatever. Walked through that and it wasn't crowded so they could actually scare us. And they targeted you. One targeted you and like jumped out at you. I'll say exactly what happened. What started the chain of events. Okay, fine. Nick was safe. He was holding food. No one was scaring him.

Uh-huh. But I was walking slightly behind him. And I saw this one scare actor getting his picture taken by a guy. So he was kind of like posing. And I walked by thinking, oh, that's fine. Whatever. But the guy jumped out and scared me. Because I was expecting him to just fully be Mr. I'm taking pictures for this guy. Uh-huh. And then so that scared me. And then I guess the other scare actors were like, ah, get her. So like I had three scare actors just go, boo. I walk a little bit.

Boo. I walk a little more. Boo. Oh, I heard. Just leave me alone. But see what you didn't see is all of them were like pointing at my food and like them pointing at themselves. Like I want your food. But I saw the first one. And they kept like trying to grab my food. I yelled at one of them. I was like, no, you're supposed to eat brains or something. I did not hear that. It was loud. It was loud. It was really hard to hear each other a lot throughout the night.

So anyways, we walked through that. It was really fun. Nice night and nice. And I did get one more thing at that food booth. Uncrowded. I got the Shirley Black. We already talked about that. No, I didn't. I thought we did. I said very briefly what we got and then we went to sweets. Fine. That drink was amazing. Good for you. It was my favorite one that night. It was so good. OK, there we go. I got to rave about it. I even put in my notes 10 out of 10. Stellar review. Good job. Moving on.

Then we did some houses. Did we talk about what we had for lunch already? Because we went to the park before Halloween Horror Nights. I don't remember what we had. Do you want to quickly talk about it? We went to Minion Cafe. Oh, yeah, we had the Evil Minion Tachos. I've already talked about them. I hope they stay on the menu. I was dumb. They're so good. It was just the other day why I realized they were called Tachos. Wow. Because they're tots and nachos. Yeah. That's sad. Yeah. OK.

We also got mac and cheese. Oh, yeah. There was a mac and cheese on the menu and I never really noticed it before. So I don't know if it's new or not. So we tried it. It was really good. We shared one. So we both got our own Tachos. And then we shared a mac and cheese. OK, so the Tachos, they only come with like five or six of the actual like little Minion Tater Tot things. Tots, yeah. And it's like, it's, you know, it'll fill you up. Yeah, I was telling. It won't fill you up. It's like.

It's enough to call it a lunch. Yeah. It won't fill you, but it's satisfying. Especially if you're going to be eating Halloween Horror Nights food. It's a small lunch. Yeah. So we also got the mac and cheese and that was a big bowl of mac and cheese. It was really good. It was. That's all I got to say about it. I could have put some hot sauce on it. It would have made it better. Nope. Oh well. Anyways, went through some houses.

Melody will put all the houses in the actual order that we did them in because we were actually pretty good with saying, OK, now we're going here. Now we're going here. And we talked a lot too while we were waiting in line. Yep. So here's the audio. No, it's not. So. No? Oh. The next time you will hear us, we'll be saying goodbye. But before we say goodbye, if you go to Halloween Horror Nights next year. Oh. Definitely get the Express Pass. If you don't get the Express Pass, get the R.I.P. tour.

Oh. If you don't get those two, what are you doing? It was kind of cool to see R.I.P. tours walking around because. Yeah. You just see the person in front holding the big colored light light stick. Yeah. Basically. I don't know. After that night, I will never do normal standby lines ever. Well, I was glad we didn't because my feet were dying. Because you remember when we were in the Insidious line and you could just look out and you just see the massive horde of people. Mm hmm.

Yeah. Saw lots of cool costumes while we were there. Yep. The scary Teletubbies, which we will talk about. That was funny. You just randomly see two Teletubbies in front of you and then you go through the house and there's two Teletubbies walking through the house. We see the Teletubbies walking through the house. Kind of jarring. I don't know how they didn't get, you know, stopped by security. And lots of Chuckies. Lots of Chuckies. It's an easy costume. Yeah. Saw some other people. I really.

There are some people who I wanted to compliment, but either it was too far away or we were eating or they were eating and just I could compliment and I felt bad. Oh, do you want to talk about the Ghostbusters food? Oh yeah. So we got Ghostbusters food. At the end. Almost at the end. At the end. At this point, Melody wasn't feeling good because a combination of like heat. We weren't drinking enough. We were not. Definitely stay hydrated. Like we were trying to stay hydrated.

We just should have been more hydrated. It's kind of hard because all of the lines for like the freestyle machines were like long. And we were trying to book it. Yeah. We were like, no, we have some water. We'll be fine. We don't need to wait five minutes for water. Yeah, we should have waited the five minutes. Yeah. Anyway, we went to Ghostbusters. We had the Slimer's Korean corn dog. Mm hmm. Garakas icy breath. Mm hmm. And the toothpaste pop. Buk. I don't know what it's called.

The it was like a dessert corn dog. It's the other corn dog. Corn bread. Corn dog. Except no dog. There's no dog in it. All right. What did you think of Slimer's Korean corn dog? I really liked it. And I felt awful for not being able to finish it. I did not like it. I really liked it. And I was just trying to force myself to eat it because like we said, I just wasn't feeling too good at that point. But it was giant. Because there was a little miscommunication.

We weren't supposed to get both of the corn dogs. No. I thought she said both corn dogs. No. Even though I had been saying Korean corn dog all night and have, you know, notes. I didn't see the notes. And also in the past, we've talked about the other fried cheesecake. Whatever. Nonsense. Okay. Fried cheesecake is good. They went with a mint cheesecake. And when everybody on the Facebook groups were saying, oh, it tastes like toothpaste. I'm like, oh, it can't really taste like toothpaste.

I didn't believe it. I'm like, it's got to taste, you know, at least a little. I also just don't like mint. No, it did not taste normal. It tasted straight up like I took a tube of toothpaste, tilted my head back and just squeezed the whole thing of toothpaste in my mouth. And not to mention it was even worse with the crunchy, what are they called? Bugles? Yes. Why did they put savory bugles on it? That's probably one of the worst foods I've ever had. It was so bad to me. I was like, ah!

Isn't there like cinnamon bugles? I don't know. Isn't that a thing? It is. I like bugles, but not with mint cheesecake. Like, I get why they did bugles because like, kind of like the horns. But like, at that point, make your own bugle. The drink was also good. The icy breath. That was a good drink. The drink was really good. Yeah. Terrible bang for your buck, though. It was... how much was it? I don't have the prices. It was expensive. I was expecting to get, you know, a decent sized drink.

They gave me like a cocktail sized drink, filled the cup up with like 90% ice. Oh, that happened with almost all the drinks, which was so annoying. Well, okay. For alcohol, yes, I fully understand that. That's expected. I don't mind that. I guess. But for a non- For me, it was also my first time. So it was annoying where I take like three gulps and then I'm like, oh, my drink is almost gone. Well, yeah, that's with all alcohol. I know.

But for a non-alcoholic drink, at least cut back on the ice a little because it's a pre-made batch drink. Okay. And I didn't like the whipped stuff on top. It did not taste like normal whipped cream. I would feel a little differently if a bartender was making it. But no bartender was making this. It was, what? You made it face. Because I remembered something, but I wasn't going to interrupt you. Fine. Go ahead. Oh, we had one more drink that wasn't Halloween Horror Nights related. What?

Shark Attack. Oh, yeah, you had a shark attack. For the first time. And then I told you how expensive it was. I didn't- it was okay. I think we paid 19 for it. Oh, my word. Even the gummy sucked. Okay, when you put gummies on ice, they get hard. I know. I just- I think I mainly paid for the show. Oh, yeah, you definitely paid for the show. I just got it because everyone gets it, but no. Shirley Black won. We should have waited for Murph. Nah, the guy we got wasn't bad.

Oh, yeah, no. I know he's good, but Murph is like the OG. The iconic person to it? Yes. Okay. If they ever get rid of Murph, we will riot. Anyways, did we get any other Halloween Horror Nights food? All right, enjoy the houses. Now, hear the audio. I wonder where we are. We are. We. We. Because I'm here. There's a person coming out of the house. I think it's just a person who keeps going. This is Goblin Feast. Yes. Quietly, you scare the rest of the town. Oh, no. Oh. Oh, there they come.

We can see the cast coming in. Yay. Wave to the goblins. I'm clapping. Oh, she's skipping. Oh, that's creepy. Oh, look, there's the fancy guy. I love that character. Oh. I love that. The fancy goblins just danced around. All the goblins were dancing on the way in. Also, this means we'll get a, go through the house a little bit earlier. Because if the house was ready before, you know, 545, we can go start it. I was like, I was hoping we could also see the bloodline people go in. That'd be cool.

But I don't think that's going to happen. You know, also looking at the outside, the houses just look smaller at the same time as big. It's a weird feeling. Like, it looks contained and big. The houses are smaller but longer in color, I think. I'm glad this is the one we're going through first. Why? Because I'm not going to be able to see the bloodlines. Hopefully not as bad. What time is it? 539. Ha ha, first one through the house. Shut up. Ha ha. Shut up. You need to stay by me. What?

Stay by me, please. That's what I'm doing. Oh, hi. Oh, I can't see. Oh, hi. Hit them in the back. Fomil-crap. Yep, yep, yep, yep. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi, goblins. Hi. I can't see. Oh, hi. Why am I first? Why am I first? Why am I first? Fom. Oh, they got the hand jump scare, please. Hi. Okay. Hi. Yeah. Oh. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Okay. Okay. Oh, hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. There is oneCould you Okay. Okay. Okay. Nope. Alright.

Alright. Good girl, Miss P. We did it! How do we get out of here? Left. Right. Left. Left. Left. Left. Left. Left. Left. Left. Left. Left. Left. Left. Left. Left. Left. Left. Left. Left. Left. Left. Left. What did you think being the first through the house? I didn't like it. I mean like I was expecting to get scared more than I did because they clearly went for you. Probably because you know they see the first person and they're like ah this woman scared scary. So they went for you.

So at least I had that advantage but I hated it. If anybody wants to know, yes I'm a big baby and I went behind Melody. But also at the same time since I was first and it's dark I was like follow the path. Follow the path. Follow the path that I can see. So it's still bright outside and we went into the house. The beginning was fine but halfway through the house I couldn't see anything. Oh that's why I said look at the path because it was so dark. It's like just follow.

I'm hoping I'm going the right way. That was bad. It was not bad. It was great. No okay the house was great. And we got the giant, the giant's hand jumped there. Did the hand move? Yeah I looked. I felt retracting. I couldn't see it. And now we head to bloodlines. It's only 543. Hello. Oh perfect timing. They just opened up this house. Oh they did? It's not even 545 yet and we already did goblins. And bloodlines just opened up. And Slaughter Cinema doesn't open for another 15 minutes.

Huh. That's good to know. That would be amazing if they just empty the express pass line. They might. Are you going first? Why are you walking in front of me? I'm not going first. Are you crazy? I'm a baby. Wow. That, that was a decently long line and we just got left through. I feel bad for the normal. They're going to get left through soon I hope. Alright if you can't afford RIP you need to do express. This is, if it continues this way throughout the entire night we may do 10 for 10 before 9.

That would be nice. Meaning monsters. Oh. Was this a good position to hold? Yeah. It also lets me know that you're behind me. You let go and I'm going to die. Okay? So don't let go. It is also still a conga line. Bubbles. Bubbles. Bubbles. Snow. Bubbles. It's not snow yet. It's snow. If we're not inside it's not snow yet. It's snow. It's not yet. It's snowing in Florida. I'm only listening by my father in the protector of mankind, Valley of Light.

My brother's death at the hands of Dracula's daughter, darkness has fallen and our bloodline is dying out. I will take my revenge and destroy Dracula, die of progeny and for no monster she controls. I will avenge your death my brother. Bye Melody we're in eternal bloodline. Oh yeah. Ready? Nope. Ready? Okay. You're a good person. Watch out. Okay. I'm going to start from possessing it. I knew you were there.

Even though unsung may have slipped through my grasp, I shall continue my journey to rid the world of these vile creatures. I still can't see. Stop breaking stuff. Let them live moon. You are not football but my average football player. Here we go! 良い my sister skills the film I can see spot! Yeah, the ballerina prepared her right there! Luthor and Alice so relaxing retour improvised She's the one watching in you but we're not chatting I hate this. I hate this. F**K IT! The time has come.

I hate this. I hate this. That boy got me. Hi. Hi. Candles. Candles. Oh, this is cool. Pretty. Pretty. Wow. God sass him. He's dead. It's a tree. Oh, it's you. I thought it was a tree. Let's go, let's go. I hate you. Let's go, let's go. Bye. Bye! All done, all done. You're safe now. I'm safe. You're safe. I hate this. Okay, that wasn't too bad. I think three of the house attendants got me. Yes, I was like one on earth. I would turn and there would just be some dude standing there.

I've tried to remember what got me to jump like I full on like I didn't I may be a fighter considering I felt like I was going to punch someone and I never ever felt that way before. Stress ball. You just clenched. I clenched. Oh yeah, by the way, Nick has a stress ball. Oh yeah, I have a stress ball. It's actually helping. It's helping? Yes. That's good. Being able to follow people was very helpful in that house. I bet. Because it was even darker than Goblin's Feast.

All right, we got a beeline at the Slaughter Cinema now. All righty. All right, bye bye. Where's the entrance for this? Straight back. Oh, I haven't seen the inside of this house yet. I saw the other two. Oh, so like the other two you kind of knew where the scares were. Yeah, now you don't. No, I don't. Great. Hopefully you get puked on it. Oh gosh, it's this house. Yep. I can't smell it though at least. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. Well, it's also at the beginning of the night. You're following me.

I can smell it either that or it's the strongest at the beginning. I don't think it would be expressed if not for the good to be expressed right now, I guess. Surprising. Have fun. Here we go. Thank you. Enjoy guys. All right, editing melody we're going through Slaughter Cinema 2. If you couldn't tell from this horrible movie. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. It's very foggy and we're not even in the house yet. There we go.

Also editing melody let me know if this sounds better with it in my shirt. Oh, was it not in your shirt last time? No. Well, it's more in my shirt now. Oh, you mean compared to the other. Contestant man. What loud. What do you drop the party? Oh, okay. Kill him. Kill him. Kill him. Kill him. Kill him. Kill him. Kill him. Kill him. Blood and chum. Chum chum. Chum chum. Chum chum. Chum chum. Chum chum. Chum chum. Chum chum. Chum chum. So the dude came around the corner, right?

Yes. But then there was a drop thing. Like a drop down poster. Cause in the tour, they said that the sound scary more than the scare. Yeah. That is proof. Cause I didn't even see what happened. I just got scared by the sound. Again. Coming in clutch. You should have brought two. Did you not see the way I flinch from that last one? I wasn't expecting the mummy and the mummy area. I was. And the shark got a bit close for comfort. And the moving posters. I didn't know the posters moved.

I forgot about the posters. Why did they move? Why not? I didn't like it. I liked it. I liked it. I didn't, it was too spoopy. Spoopy. Yay. Are we done recording? Yep. All right. Bye bye people. We got in line at 623. Yes, you. You in line. Scan this QR code to listen to the Discovery Universal Podcast and learn more about some of these houses. No. Scan this QR code to listen to our podcast. I just throw my QR codes everywhere. Anyways, we're about to go into a quiet place.

It's right around this corner. I don't think it's very quiet though, but we'll do our best. I don't think it matters either. There we go. Oh, I can't see. Quiet. I can't see. Hey, hey, hey. Yep. I can see now. I can actually. I can see. I can actually see. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I can do it. I don't even hold on. He's got a cool... Hi. I like this house. Oh, hi. Good for you. He's right here. He's right there. He's right now right there. Oh, no. Oh, you're right. Oh, my God. Hi. Oh, hi. Oh, my God. Okay. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Oh, that's cool. Oh, you got a call. Shut up. Yeah. Hello. Get off. Oh, hi. I can't beat. We got it.

We're good. We're good. Oh, hi. Hi. Oh, my God. No. Oh, my God. Oh, my word. Why are there more? Why are there more? You got spooked from a different house. All righty. Done with Ghostbusters. Thoughts? Good. Up to that. What are your thoughts? Least scary house. I was actually starting to like let go from you. I think I noticed. I didn't really... You did let go at some point. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. You did let go at some point.

I think it's a point something in the frozen room. I don't remember. I don't remember. I remember I turned around in the frozen room to look at the Karaka. I think it's the least scary because it was the least dark. Yeah. It was very bright in that house. It's also not meant to be a scary house, I don't think. Although I gotta say, I was not a fan of the Karaka. Yeah. Walking my path. That was funny. I thought I was going to get punched in the face by him. I was like no. So where to next?

Either triplets or insidious. We'll see. Alright, insidious or uh... Insidious. Yeah. Unfortunately. Oh, are you ready? Shut up! Are you ready? No! Shut up! I'm not the one who's hiding in the back! You butt hole! You'll be fine. Ahhhhh! Alright, this is a 60 minute wait and we got it at 9 at 7.05. We're doing really, really well. We only have one more house after this. For us. Technically. Pick up where you left off. Oh my word. Keep everybody guessing.

Nick just asked me if Express Pass was worth it. And I was saying, it is if you're like us. Where we're trying to get all the houses done before 9-ish. So we can get home to our kiddos. Yeah. But if you're staying here until 2, maybe you don't need the Express Pass. But who actually wants to stay until 2? I don't want to stay until 2. If we were still in college, I would have stayed until 2. I guess. But we're not. Also, we're about to go inside the Insidious House.

And it doesn't help that I'm light headed because I need to drink water. Yep. Oh, lovely. You also may just be hot. That too. Good luck. Screw this! Nope, too late. You're already walking in. Okay. House? Let's see if we got our pictures. If I got the pictures right because we argued about the order of pictures. I forgot what the order was. Okay, so it's a drawing. Then it's the red demon behind the dad. Okay. And then it's the dad in front of the door.

I don't even remember what order we argued about. Oh yeah, from here it does look like a smaller door. It looks like you're just going to go walk up to a small door. Now go outside. Let my voice be your guide. Keep a steady stride. Keep a steady stride. Into the further you go. It doesn't rhyme. That's the problem. It kind of does. Into the further you go does not rhyme with stride. You don't rhyme with stride. Oh, but the rhyme has got stride. Let my voice be your guide. Keep a steady stride.

Into the further you go. You hit record, right? Yes. He's got your baby. He's got your baby. Oh, my word. Now go outside. Let my voice be your guide. Keep a steady stride. I'm here. He's got your baby. Don't trip the backpack, not me. He's got your baby. I want to touch it. He's got your baby. No. He wants to touch the bag. He's got your baby. Stompy stomps. Not rogues. Stomby stomps. He's got your baby. Beombe. Oh. Snail. Where's this? He's got your baby. That's a good girl. Beombe.

He's got your baby. That's a good girl. Hi. Ah, shit. He's got your baby. Oh, my word! Come on. Oh, hi. I thought this was a safe room. I forgot. There was no safe room. Go to hell. No, thank you. Oh, fricassee. Here you go. Fricassee. Oh, hi. Okay. Through the sheets. Hi. Through the sheets. Through the sheets. Hi. Hi. Stay over here. Over here. She's easy. Oh, that's cool. You're tall. Go away. Why? Why? Why? I hate you. I hate you. Hey! Oh, you're fine. Hello. Hello. Hi. You get close.

She sees you. Hi. Hi. I hate this. Hi. I hate you. I hate you. Kick. Kick. I hate you. Kick. I hate you. I hate you. Keep going. There's the vent. Let's get that body. Hi. Go away. Go away. Shut up. I hate you. Yeah. I got sprayed. Oh, break his light. No. Hi. Keep going. This is safe room. Hi. Oh. Right. It's you. Why is it so small? They're so small. Hi. Hi. Hi. Look. We're fine. We're fine. We're fine. Hippo. Two little hips. We survived. Hi. Never mind. Why are we still in the house?

Because. Hi. Ah. Yep. He's going to get you. Shut up. Ah. We're done. Breathe. Don't worry about it. Ah. I'm surprised we survived through the curtain. The curtain room. Yeah, the people in front of us, they got all the spooks. Yep. I'm fine with that. Okay. That wasn't awful. But oh my word. You need some water. I forgot. What was the part that scared me the most? Banana cans? Yeah, I can't even remember. I was watching the TikTok off podcast.

Because you were saying, why do scary movies bother me but not the haunted houses? Uh huh. This is the reason why. I don't even remember what just happened. But it just happened. Time check. It's only 7.22. But also, when you watch a movie, all the scary scenes linger in your mind. Because you watch like a whole hour or two of just spooky stuff. We were in there for like five minutes. Oh, why was there a blast of hot air? That's a blast of heat.

That's what I love when I'm walking outside of Florida. Also, we're going to clarify, one of the spooks that Nick just got was not from a jump. Not from like a scare actor. Or even a TM. It was just the person behind us. That was fun. That was so fun. She freaked out, was scared him. I get more scares from other people. And the random TM's are just standing in there. Now we gotta hunt down a water source. And then we continue. Alright, bye bye. And we are going into triplets.

Ooh, which feels nice. What? AC. Do not engage the AC system manually. Oh, the police car is not on. I do have to say, being out in the heat, not coming in the cool, very nice. The police car is usually like flashing. Wow. I've got bod. Yay. Dolls. Are you ready to say happy birthday? I'm not saying happy birthday. Oh yeah, Millie, we're going in triplets. I said that. Okay. Oh, I forgot. Happy birthday. Oh, she's dying. Safe room. Why do you need a safe room after only the first room?

Okay. Up high. High. Up high. Okay. Do you hear that, Millie? Oh, hi. Okay. Hi. Yes, I see, I see. Don't make me walk through that. I'm going to point out the snail to you. Oh. Oh. The snail behind you. I tried. I didn't see it. Why would you tell me what is behind me? Oh yeah, this is Melody right here. Oh yeah, I see. Okay, yep. I hate this room. Why do we have to go through it so slowly? Oh boy, flashy lights. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Yep, yep. I got eight. Don't worry, I can kind of wait.

Alright. Let's go, let's go. Woo. Oh god. See how short that house was? Yes, that's good though. I like the house. I wasn't as scared this time. Maybe because it's my... I was like, Junior, stay away. You didn't tell them happy birthday. I was very happy. Got eight out of ten houses done. Wasn't even planning to do eight. I was planning to just do seven. Monsters. Who was at the beginning? Yeah. I had to control my anger. I would like to point out, Melody, we were in Monsters House.

Fitting for what we're talking about. Like I was saying. I had to keep reminding myself that they were just scare actors. Not actual monsters killing the babies. But I had my fist clenched. I didn't really get spooked in that area. I don't think. Because I was so focused on just keep moving. But... We did eight out of the ten houses. Anyway. I made it through the house. And it's only eight ten. Oh yes, I do. Have you picked up it? Okay. I kind of rush made this so it could be not fully active.

Are you looking at it right now? Okay. Get off your phone then. It's supposed to be a surprise. Fine. Number ten. Museum. Not the big shopper. It was in number ten last time. And I didn't go through it. So no change. Number nine. Major suites. Also mainly because we didn't go through it. If we didn't go through the house it was for a reason. We went through it in our Unmasking the Horror Tour. And I thought that was cool. I felt like if we went through it while it was active.

It would have felt the same. It kind of is, yeah. Okay. Number eight. Slaughter Cinema 2. Okay. I was not as impressed with the what's it called? The cyborg area. Cyborgs? Cyborg area that as you would have wanted me to be. I looked up when you told me to. I didn't see much. It was kind of hard to see. You get to see the lasers. You can see the bunker off in the distance. I couldn't really see it. It was really dark. Fine. Number seven was Monstros.

I was honestly surprised when I put it that high. But it was really cool. I didn't like one part of the house. But they had the giant freaking owl thing. Which was really cool to watch. Move around. Number six was Triplets. I liked the story. But the house itself was still kind of plain. It was short. Yeah, that too. Number five, Insidious. Be happy that it is this high. Be happy that it is this high. I almost put triplets above it. Insidious 1 House of the Year. Did you know that? I saw.

It was okay. I liked it. It was good. I liked the other houses better. Which were? Uh huh. Four bloodlines. I just thought that was cool. You put bloodlines above insidious. Yes. Because I don't appreciate the mannequin rooms. So, nope. That's the poy that's supposed to scare you. Nope. You make no sense. Number three, Ghostbusters. Can you guess my two in one? No. So no guesses? I don't even remember. Oh my word. Fine. Number two, Quiet Place. Oh, yeah I remember. The dock was disappointing.

I liked the dock. It was kind of cool. It was cool. I guess just in the video I watched it was easier to see. So it had more of a, wow, it's watery but you can't see the distance. You're not meant to slow down and stare at it. I know. If you slow down and stare at it, it kind of ruins the effect. Well, I didn't slow down and stare at it. You did, kind of. You slowed down and you cranked your head to the left. The boat was a lot bigger than I expected. Yes, the boat was kind of cool.

Then that leaves my number one. You should know this one. Goblin's Feast. Oh, right. I love that house. That was a fun house. And I'm glad that my number one was the one where I was number one to go in. Yes. That was a very cool experience. I'm sure you weren't happy because you were, you know, scared. Second, and technically the first person to be scared in that house. Because they went for you. Yes they did. You're welcome. I was protecting you from the scares. Even she's laughing at you.

Whatever. I will own up to it. I am a scaredy cat. Yes. Yeah. It was just also really interesting to learn that I might be more of a fight than a flight person. But. So I used a stress ball. You should really try out the stress balls next year. Maybe. We did get two. Yes we did. One's still in the car. I don't know where the other one is. I don't either. If you do get stress balls, get ones that attach to your wrist. Or tighten on your wrist. Yes. Really helps you not drop it.

What? Did you almost drop it or something? No. It was a piece of mind knowing that it can't really fall off of my wrist. I think I was just interested to learn that about myself. Because the last time I went through horror houses I was behind my six foot four dad. Yeah. And so I was kind of hidden. Because people kept getting him. Not me. Probably because they didn't see me because I was close behind him. Probably. And also laughing. So I didn't really look like I was getting scared. But.

Yeah. Fun experience. Very, very glad I got to go. She's trying to get you to talk. Alright. Any other final remarks? I'm being attacked by a mic. Yes you were. Yeah. It was fun. Basically it. Hopefully next year we'll be more careful with going all day. I also was breaking in new shoes. We didn't really go all day though. You were breaking in new shoes. Which was also pretty dumb. Which was a really dumb idea. I had to throw my old sneakers. It was not exact.

It was either the sneakers or the sandals. I'm not going to wear those sandals all night long. Okay. The sandals were a bad idea. You probably should have kept your old sneakers. Probably. I was out of my toes poking out the entire time. Yes I was. Anyway. What we should do next year is instead of going, you know. We got there at what? Noon? 11. Yeah. Around 11. Granted yes we did get our magnets. But we also did rides. Some. Some rides. We did Mummy. Men in Black.

I feel like we did one more ride but now I can't remember. ET. Oh yeah. We're also trekking all over the park to get to those rides. I think next time we'll just do the shows. Yeah. Like go do. Sit down. Horror makeup show. Go do Bourne. No Ugg. I don't like Bourne. Well too friggin bad. The show's cool. Whatever. Have you ever even seen the Animal Show? Cause I saw it. I don't think so. And it's really good. Cause right now I'm just remembering the Animal Show from the Miami Zoo.

So. Or Zoo Miami however it is. Whatever. Here we go. We'll do shows next time. Not killer feet. Nope. Horror stomachs. Smart. Drink water. Yep. That's kind of our take away. Drink water. When you go to Universal. Don't be dumb. If there's a line. Suck it up and get in line. The cat's talking to us. Oh well. Bye bye. Alright. Bye bye.
