Halloween Horror Nights 2026 Hollywood Summer Update
<p>The sun is shining, the pool is open, the grill is hot... and your loyal Horror Nerds are squarely focused on the most interesting aspect of the summer months: the latest announcements for Halloween Horror Nights 2026, of course! With Undead Ed back at the studio following an injury, and joined by Ceno-Al, newly minted leader of the Cenobites, the Nerds are back and better than ever as they bring you blockbuster after blockbuster. First, Horror Nights dips a toe into prestige cinema with a house based on Ryan Coogler's smash hit Sinners. Unsatisfied with resting on its laurels, Horror Nights followed up with announcements for Stranger Things 5, rounding out a long legacy of Eleven and the Upside Down making appearances at the event, and brought a long sought after 80s property with Hellraiser. </p><p>How will Murdy and his Horror Nights team translate the unique musical aspects of Sinners to the walk through experience? Will Stranger Things go out with a bang, or with a whimper? And will Hellraiser be able to live up to expectations created by decades of fan demand? The Nerds don't have any answers, but they sure like to yap about it anyways!</p><p>As if that's not enough horror for your July, we're also covering the arrival of Resident Evil at Horror Unleashed in Las Vegas, construction pointing to a certain group of Killer Klownz from Outer Space returning to the event, and new evidence that Art the Clown of Terrifier fame is taking over and bringing us the Terrifier Tram this year. All the news, discussion, and speculation you could ever want - and then some!</p>

Should you go to Universal Studio's Fan Fest Nights 2026?
<p>As the calendar turns to March and the winter chill melts away in the hot California sun, there's only one question on everyone's mind... should I go to Universal Studios Hollywood's Fan Fest Nights this spring? Well, fear not, loyal listeners, your favorite Horror Nerds are here to answer that very question! Building upon the full lineup of IP walkthroughs and fandoms coming to the event in its second year - Scooby-Doo meets the Universal Monsters, Harry Potter's Forbidden Forest Journey, Dungeons and Dragons: Secrets of Waterdeep, the One Piece Grand Pirate Gathering and new Grand Pirate Stunt Show, as well as the recently announced Jurassic World: Journey Through Eras fan zone and Sailor Moon Dreamwork's Theatre movie - your ever needlin' nerds examine not only WHAT is coming to the event, but WHO it's for this year. How is the community going to react to the amount of walk through attractions holding steady at three? Are Scooby and Jurassic World suitable replacements for Back to the Future and Star Trek, or is this a softmore slump? And what does Unviersal Creative really want Fan Fest to be - is it meant to be springtime Horror Nights, without the Horror, or is it more akin to Disneyland's Star Wars Nights? We're going deep in this exclusive discussion episode!</p>
