Fear and Beer: A Halloween Horror Nights Podcast

THE TIME IS HERE! We have our first Speculation Map of Halloween Horror Nights 33 from our friends over at Horror Night Nightmares! This year we have to earn our dues by decoding all the images so let’s put on our detective hats and break this all down together one house at a time!

Another week and another batch of rumors! We've seen a few more IP names, a possible show and a Universal Monster name being tossed around online so it's time to discuss!   The Halloween Horror Nights Speculation season is starting to pick up!

There has been a handful of rumors floating around in regards to Halloween Horror Nights 33 already and it's still only February!   Are we still getting Five Night at Freddys? Ghostbusters is back? 2 new Sprung Tents? There is a lot to discuss this week!

Nick and Jamie dive into some of our most beloved past Houses and Scare Zones to see if there are any fun ways to combine two together and create a new concept! Some go together, some are worlds apart, but alas all are fun!

After our vacation to California we are back! Let's pick up right where we left off! Diving into the history of HHN characters who are sort of hiding in plain sight. Some of these are more familiar than others, but can any of these step up in an "Icon" fashion? Maybe, maybe not, but let's discuss!

After last year we saw Halloween Horror Night's acceptance of bringing back older, under used characters and giving them a new polished look. What are some other previous characters you'd like to see get the same treatment? We discovered about half way through this is going to be an ongoing series for us so enjoy Part 1 as we dive into some of the more well known ones and we'll be back next time with another band of characters we want to see make a come back!

It's only January and we are still a month or so away from Speculation Season so we figured; what the heck? Let's take a swing at things! This is our own personal "Guess Map" We have no insider information or sources, however we have code names, trends, new movie releases and other various hints to work with so lets dive in and see what we can CONJURE up!

We are in the New Year of 2024 and we can finally say we are going to HHN THIS year. After a 2 week break we catch up on all the news that has come out over the holiday weeks. We have Code Names, Permits, Universal in the UK and more!

With Christmas right around the corner let's look at a couple Holiday Horror movies that would be fun to walk through as Houses! From Gremlins to The Mean One there is a lot of fun potential properties out there for Universal to work with! What would you like to see?

We were invited down to Sir Henry's Haunted Christmas media night!   This local haunt is located in Plant City, FL and runs for select dates in December. December 8th-9th and 15th-17th Be sure to get your tickets online in advance! This year's event features two haunted trails; Slay Bells: Chapter 2 and Creatures of Christmas. On top of the two amazing trails you can also enjoy some laser tag, an escape game and plenty of great treats and snacks! Make sure when visiting you wear close toed shoes as the paths are outdoors and have some uneven pathways!

Is it too early to talk about HHN33? No, perfect we didn't think so either! Last year we nailed some stuff so let's see if we can call our shot again! What do you think we'll see next year at HHN?

We find ourselves in that weird phase of grieving where we don't want to admit and believe it's finally over, but alas. It is. Let's end this HHN season on a high and hand out some hardware. (not real hardware because we're poor, but virtual imaginary hardware) Dress to impress and lets all attend this years Fear and Beer HHN Awards show in style!

Ahhh...the end of a season. Always bittersweet; sad to see it go, but excited to rest and begin speculating for HHN33. Before we get too ahead of ourselves let's look back and rank HHN32 one final time. This year we graded the Scare Zones and Houses in term of Set Design, Costumes, Sound, Use of Area, Scares and Storytelling on a scale of 1-5. We then averaged it all together to present to you the collective Fear and Beer Rankings which may surprise you a bit!

Going into our last week of HHN32 let's take a look back at not only this year, but last year as well. What happens when we hold each Scare Zone against the one that came before it? How do the IPs from HHN31 stack up against this year? Do the Originals this year compare to HHN31? Listen along to find out!

Another week into October means another week closer to...the end. Sorry we had to say it sadly, but fear not we have plenty to talk about still! This week we take a look back at our pre-season Hype Lists to re-evaluate the houses and see where things currently are standing!
