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