Happy new years, boys and ghouls! Undead Ed is joined by the latest escapee from Hawkin's National Laboratory, Aleven, to discuss what's been on everyone's mind this holiday season - the 2026 Halloween Horror Nights lineup at Universal Studios Hollywood. With a new Holiday Speculation map dropping from Horror Nights Insiders, it's time to take another look at our initial speculation, with a few big surprises. Are Art, Pennywise, Hollywood Harry, and Jack going to make 2026 the Year of the Clown? Are we doomed to forever wander through yet another Latin Monsters maze in Universal Plaza year after year? Will Ed and Al regret their fervent promises of Stranger Things 5 coming to Horror Nights? You'll need to listen to find out. But stay tuned after the speculation to hear our New Years Resolutions, both for ourselves, for Horror Nights, and for Universal Studios. It's all happening - now, now, now!

Post Halloween blues got you down? The Horror Nerds are here with the cure for what ails you - an extra stuffed episode breaking down our wild, unfounded speculation for next years Fan Fest Nights and Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood! Drawing on our deep, first hand expertise in Horror Nights, Undead Ed's impressive fandom knowledge, the Nerds, and wishful thinking, we bring you the hottest, wildest speculation around. Will K-Pop Demon Hunters make Fan Fest Golden? Have we finally seen the last of the Purge at Horror Nights? Does Star Trek have what it takes for an encore Fan Fest performance? Should you be breaking out the champagne for Hollywood Harry's triumphant return? Hit play to find out!

It's here... The blockbuster review of Southern California's biggest Halloween haunt by the one, the only, the Hollywood Horror Nerds! After a year of speculation and the hype running hot, can this year's Horror Night's meet expectations? Will Terrifier leave our hosts screaming in terror or shrugging in disappointment? Can Jason UN1V3RSE capture the horrific slasher vibe of Friday the 13th Part IV and Part VI, or is it more of a Jason X and Jason Goes to Hell? Can M3GAN redeem herself for M3GAN 2.0 in her new role as Terror Tram host? Is Fallout setting our world on fire or sending us back to the main menu? And most importantly - is the Yum Yum Deviled Egg better than whatever that Gelatinous Cube was at Fan Fest? The wait's over, folks - tune in and all your questions will be answered!

Marked explicit for discussion of some violent scenes that may be too intense for younger listeners.
