Speaker 1 (00:01):
From the theme park Capital of the World, Orlando, Florida.
This is the Theme Park Podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Wait podcast?
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Is this all radio?
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Why does everything gotta be so messy on this station?
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Anyway?
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Here's your hosts, Dickerman, Jimmy d and Scott Harris.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Hey there and welcome to the Theme Park Podcast. I
am Dickerman. There is Jimmy d are how are you madis?
And Scott Harris.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Happy Spooky season, guys? What's going on?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Spooky season? It's it's over. It's Christmas. I was just
in a hobby lobby the other day. There was music playing.
There was literally Christmas stuff everywhere you turned.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
That's because they don't sell Halloween stuff there.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
They do, not as much, not as much. Yeah, not
as much. No, But this is when they shine. Christmas
time is when they shine. Season over with?
Speaker 3 (00:53):
And why do I have why do I have this
right here?
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Because you have a spooky Empire this weekend? Michael Myers?
Is that what you ordered? Spooky Empire? Michael Myers?
Speaker 3 (01:01):
I showed you guys my costume.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
I know it is Michael Myers right, Yes, how'd it go?
Did you get a lot of pictures?
Speaker 3 (01:08):
I got some pictures?
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Yah?
Speaker 3 (01:10):
It was fun.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
So it may not be Spooky season, but we are
entering into con season because you just went to Spooky Empire.
Mega Con I believe is on sale and really starting
to push out, you know, people that are going to
be appearing this year. But let's hear let's hear our
first of the year, Spooky Empire. How was the experience?
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Spooky was supposed to be actually the weekend of my birthday,
second weekend of October. Hurricane Milton obviously had something else
to say about that. I will I will give Spooky
Empire and the people behind that event so much credit
because they announced the Wednesday before, on October ninth, that
Spooky Empire would be postponed to a later date. In
(01:53):
four days later, they had a new date, new location,
and we're already in the process of booking guests and vendor.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Yeah, that's that's efficiency because as a promoter, it is
your nightmare for something like this to cancel when you
have so many moving pieces, and parts of that being
the celebrities. For the most part, that's going to be like,
it's a nightmare situation to try and rebook and turn
things around.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
The guy who owns Spooky Empire. I believe his name
is Pete. I actually talked to him one year in
between conventions because I ran into him at Star Wars
celebration and we were just chatting about it. One year
when they had to cancel Spooky because of the hurricanes,
he almost lost his house. Oh they had like yeah,
like they had really like mortgaged their lives to that event.
So I think he has since put in fail safes
(02:39):
in place, and he's got to prepare, you know, he's
got a a emergency plan, contingency plan.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Yeah. It is. Yeah, Like we're talking like if you're
a concert promoter, like Earthday, Birthday, all of a sudden,
you have to cancel them, like, oh, let me try
and rebook my headliner. Oh they're not available at all.
What do you do now? You're you're you're in like
major trouble. So they were able to turn it around
and and book a significant number of guests.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Yeah, yeah, there was still a bunch of guests still
made it. I've got to pull up the lists because
I don't completely remember all of it.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
And it moved to the Convention Center. Originally it was
going to be at a hotel.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
It was at the higher regency. Yeah, it moved.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
It moved this over to the Convention Center across the street.
Basically basically yes, yeah, which you know, that's that's fine.
Did you feel like with the change and date, the
crowd was still significant.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Crowd was still good. It was just a little bit
smaller because obviously a lot of people travel in for
this show from from other cities and markets and states
and stuff like that. So I think this was very
much a local based thing. But there were still a
lot of the same vendors that I've seen at past
spookies or at past cons so you can just tell
(03:51):
the ones that, oh, these are local vendors that always
do conventions, right, I will say one of the funny things,
not funny things, one of the most unique things is
one of the food items that was available at the
convention center was Chick fil A. I had not seen
that before.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Oh yeah, I mean this is a one.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Saturday it was open. Sunday it was not open.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
This is a huge step up for the Convention Center
because generally I've never been a fan of the food there.
I would call it garbage for the most part. But
we got Chick fil A in the in the situation now,
it changes everything.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
I mean, you know they have like four rivers as well.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Well, yeah, I mean this is this has been this
has been ongoing for a couple of years now, I'm
talking you know, going back years. The food was not great.
They have definitely made, you know, leaps and bounds as
far as improvements and the food options go. And Chick
fil A is just another huge plus for that one.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Let's see that they had Alicia Witt from Long Legs
in the Original Dune, Rosanna Arquette pulp fiction, Christy Swanson.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Buffy the Vampire Slayer the originginal.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Yes, Henry Thomas.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Oh for me, t Elliott, Yes, yes. Christy Swanson was
also in The Flowers in the Attic, which is a
great movie.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
She was also in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Flowers in the Attic.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
That's like the fourth time that has come up in
like the last two weeks for me.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
That's very weird. That is very weird, great disturbing.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Yeah, oh my god, like that that sent reverberation through
my life more than like any of the Nightmare on
Elm Street or Friday the thirteenth.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
That to me was a horror story. Yes, yes, a
terrible terrible parenting or terrible guardians that scares every child.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Then there was a bunch of the cast of Fright Night,
the original Fright Night, and then a couple of the
cast of Child to play one and two.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Okay, the original was Chucky there himself was Brad Dwarf
was not there, I mean the actual Chucky, just the
little guy running around with the Knight.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
I you know, I saw some here's the thing. I
saw some Chucky's. I saw some art the clowns. I
saw some centabites walking around because Clive Barker was there.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Okay, uh wait, do you know what a Cinobyite is,
because I'm thinking a mini cinnabon No I can think
of when you say cinebyte, I'm like, oh, mini cinnabon.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
No, You'll get the lambnit cube and you'll solve it
and then next thing, you know, the high Priest Cinnabyite
will come and tell your soul.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Apart, what what film is this?
Speaker 3 (06:24):
This is the hell Raiser franchise.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
You know, I could never like as cool as Pinhead
was like one of the coolest looking, like you know villains.
I could never get into those movies. They were just
like too nerdy or something from me. I don't know
what it was about.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Yeah, no, get into it. I don't get that at all.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Yeah, yeah, have you recently suffered ahead injury?
Speaker 3 (06:44):
These are this is like a gnarly movie.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
I know, I just I couldn't get into Hell Raiser.
I don't know if it wasn't like or Nightmare on
Elm Street.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
That's a million times more terrifying than those two series
franchisees that you talked about.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Yeah, it's not really like a slasher.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
I like the Slasher and not so much whatever Hell
Raiser was. I loved the look of Pinhead. Great look
for me. I'll show no go.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
You just like the like the Freddy Krueger like, you know,
quips and jokes and stuff.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
You know, he's a fun villain.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
I will say. I went to a panel about the
guy that created the reverse bear trap from.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Saul Oh okay uh oh.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
I had a panel uh talking about that and all
this special effects stuff. A lot of fun, a lot
of good questions, you know, uh, you know, is Jig
is Jigsaw? Is John Kramer justified? And what he does?
And it was it was It was a good experience.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Unpopular opinion. Don't care for the Saw movies either.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
What is wrong with you? Do you not appreciate good entertainment?
Speaker 2 (07:50):
I did. I don't know. I didn't like it. I
just felt like it was Gore for Gore. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Go watch that, Go go watch Meatballs.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I could watch the Nightmare Elmstreet. Three in the Dream Warriors,
that's the good one.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
One, one, two and three are good. Yeah, they kind
of where we go after that, they kind of fall.
I know what I know where we go because I
just watched all of these movies. I also just rewatch
all of the Halloween.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Movies and the problem in the US Zombie ones.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
I watched all of them, even the rob Zombies, even
the here's the thing, I know people don't like you
watch H.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Two again, all of them, all of them.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
I watched all three David Gordon Green ones too. Those
are the three Newest ones that he co wrote with
Dana McBride.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Oh okay, yes, I did watch this MOS and the
total pulling at the bottom.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Yes, they are not very good.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Two. I don't remember too much about H two. It
wasn't wasn't very good. It had like no that was
actually Vitamin C in it.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
No, H two O is the one that has Josh
Hartnett and Michelle Williams. You're thinking of Reserve does a soundtrack,
You're thinking of Resurrections. Which is the one that's in
the house.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Oh and that's I thought. H two is one of
the Vitamin C. She was a very short lived pop star,
like I know.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Yeah, she does the graduation song.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Okay, I don't remember.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Resurrections though, does have my one of my favorite moments
when towards the end of the movie, Buster Rhymes says
trick or treat and then Roundhouse kicks Michael Myers.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Want to watch it now? I kind of want to
watch it now. There's no chance he gets his leg
up that eye he does.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
I saw it happens in the movie.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
No, I mean, I'm sure it happens in the movie,
but there's no chance that he did that himself because
Buster Rhymes. Uh, I don't know. I think you don't
believe he's that negative shape. Yeah, I think he would
need a new hip after that. Even at that age, we.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Have ventured far off of your supposed to. So here's
what we're not even talking about. Theme park here.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Here's the thing that I will say. I know we
like to talk about, like what's the new big like
cosplay that we see at conventions. You know, you know,
it was for a long time it was The Joker,
and then it was Harley Queen, and then it was
like Deadpool, Mandalorians, Spider Man's art.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
The clown art.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
The clown is like the newest like craze, so much art,
the clown cosplays and you know, people that are a
part of these movies or merchandise, all sorts of stuff.
It is art. The clown is like the phenom. Now, okay,
(10:40):
to the point I am now accepted, I might have
to watch these movies. I want to be a part
of the zeitgeist of these things.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
You don't like clowns.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
I do not like clowns, and that kind of gore
is just not for me. But yeah, I might have to,
Like like Pennywise had his moment. But it's just like art.
The clown is like out of.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
The way, buddy, Okay, all right, did you buy many things?
Speaker 3 (11:05):
I bought one. I bought one print because, as I've
talked about before, I have run out of wolf space.
So I'm very very very limited of the things that
I do buy at these things, But that all works
out because Mega Con is coming up and there's at
least one person that I do want to get a
(11:26):
picture with, so I gotta save my money. Accordingly, who's
he going to be?
Speaker 2 (11:30):
A MegaCon? I know who it is.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
He's gonna have to make a what do you call
it when you go see a doctor?
Speaker 2 (11:38):
What do you call that?
Speaker 4 (11:38):
An appointment? An appointment for that photograph? If I'm not mistaken,
that is correct.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
No doctor who is going to be the guy from
Game of Throats?
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Yeah, Matt Smith, Damon Targarian or the eleventh doctor for
me House of the Dragon, How's the Dragon?
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Yep?
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Or doctor who? But they did also just announce a
whole bunch of people the Breakfast Club will all be there.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Oh wow, the whole crew. Huh y yep, even Emilia

Michael Hall and Ali sheety.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Mm hmm, almost all of them.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
And then Joseph Quinn, Eddie Munson Trained your Things mm hmmm.
Speaker 2 (12:24):

Speaker 4 (12:42):
No no, no, no wife daughter, yes, wife, daughter of
Elvis passed away about five years ago.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Marie. Okay, Yeah, I'm confused.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
She's got to be old, but we're not going to
get into that.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
I'm saying she was like the teen when she met Elvis.
So was that the sixties? Elvis just got canceled. Son
up a Gun and then the big sin canceled.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
The big name is that the Millie Bobby Brown will also.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Be yeah missus but uh missus.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Bon Job, Missus bon Jovi. That is correct.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Pretty cool last name. It's pretty cool if you know,
to switch out your last name from Millie Bobby Brown
to uh Millie bon Jovi. It's pretty good trade.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
Yeah, and especially since you know Bobby Brown, you know,
because I know she's Millie Bobby Brown.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Yeah, that's such a great name to be associated with. No, no,
not at all. Yeah, So that is uh mega con
that's coming up in February.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Correct, that is coming up February sixth through the ninth.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
All right, well, should we uh, should we delve into
some theme park talk on this theme park show?
Speaker 3 (13:49):
But very quickly, if you have a chance to go
to a Spooky Empire, it happens twice a year in
central Florida. It's it's a lot of fun. There's there's
a May and then there's a uh October. Actually this
year it'll be Halloween is the first day of the
event next fall.
Speaker 2 (14:06):

the trigger. Were waiting for them to raise prices again? No,
hey jumped in price. Let me buy him, Dickerman. Just
hear me out here. Okay.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
When I'm signing up for my new annual pass, they
give you the option to sign up for the Disney
card and they'll give you four hundred dollars back, which
is equivalent of your down payment, pretty much your down
payment for the passes.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Nice. So I sign up in a new Disney card.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Got the one with the Mickey impals because it was
the only one that had a dog on it. Yeah,
and now I'm I'm a Pazz holder again. I already
have a Disney card. Maybe I should cancel it and
then see if they give me the offer. Yeah, probably not,
but I'm going November November fifteenth, I'm going to Savvy's
(15:14):
workshop to build my lightsaber.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
This guy is lightsabers. You got a lot of lightsabers.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
I think I have a normal amount for a person
of my age and social status.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
As Lauren approved your next lightsaber purchase.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
It was a very tough negotiation, but it came down
to it, and I have been given rudimentary approval.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
That's like a soft sums up the slightest liver liver
of light and they're like, Okay, good see you later. Bye. Well,
she's coming with me, so she's gonna see what happens.
She's gonna judge everything. Do you really need that Kyper Crystal?
You don't. You don't need that one already got he does.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Well, we're going with other friends, and that kind of
helped smooth it over, because there will be once the
sun goes down, there will be a lightsaber battle in
front of the Millennium Falcon.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Simmy's gonna slip the other wife that twenty to keep
her distracted for about half an hour.

I'm getting on.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Oh, you're trying to say, I have an annual pass
that would have expired by now that you guys claim
to have purchased.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
It hasn't activated to use it. You haven't activated yet,
it's sitting in the account.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Yeah, it's a disheartening. I like when your friends, when
your friends do you a favor and bypasses.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
For you a solid yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Yeah, and we bought you Ivory Tower like you asked for.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Yeah, like nine thousand dollars and you just.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Refuse to acknowledge it.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
You're the one that said you wanted to buy Coastal
annual pass. They'll get you into everything on the plane.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Yeah, we got you, We got you, water park, we

Hurtful. Yeah, you guys, I'm one step away from downgrading
to uh the one there and could see me. Yeah,
fun spot like land here, I'm gonna just go park. Yeah,
it's about where I'm at about now with the prices
of these parks. So, but Sea World, Universal Disney, we
(17:42):
do actually have all the parks covered, like we're a
professional podcast that covers theme parks.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Yes, do you want some other theme park news?
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Uh, well Universal we talked about this months ago, actually
might have been over a year ago. Universal announced the
Universe Versal Horror Unleashed, the year round event in Las Vegas.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Yes, so this is like a tent pool attraction in Vegas.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Yeah, it's basically, you know, kind of like Horror Nites
year round. It's gonna have houses and what nots going inside.
There's a Texas Chainsaw Massacre House at Exorcist, Believer House,
and Scarecrow the Reaping.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Okay, all right, do you see them changing this like
on an annual basis or do you think these houses
stay the same.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
That's what a lot of people have kind of surmised
from the announcement is that some things will be a
permanent other stuff will be cycled through. Okay, all right,
and it is set open sometime next year.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Okay, so sometime next year basically at permanent Halloween hornites
in Vegas. Correct, they got a lot of fun stuff
in Vegas.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Does say where it will be located at Area fifteen.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
I don't know where that is, Yeah, from somewhere on
the strip. I assume, yes, Oh no, it could be
Old Vegas.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Too, not Area fifty one.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
No. Remember when they they were gonna raid Area fifty one. Yes, Oh,
everybody's gonna lead.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
It is one mile west of the strip.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
They were all gonna try and raid it. If enough
of us go, they can't shoot it.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
They can't stay exactly.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
Yeah, Okay, one mile west. That's gonna I feel like
that's gonna be kind of towards the uh the raiders
arena Oh okay in that area.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
I think that the look.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
So that got announced, so yes, so that you know
what that means spooky season remains.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
It will in Vegas, that's for sure.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
If we want to talk about some Christmas stuff, Yes,
there will be a Frozen show happening at the Magic Kingdom. Okay,
in front of Cinderella Castle. Okay, Frozen Holiday Surprise, Joined
the Pho, join Frozen friends from Aarindale as they ring
in the season.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
It's Frozen still hot with the little ones. The little
little girls still love Frozen, yes, okay.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
And the secret is that Frozen two is better than
Frozen one.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
I don't know if I agree. I mean, but it
is if you say so, Yeah, you know what, I'll
tell you what.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
The storyline I thought was a little bit better in two,
but the music is way better in one.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Oh yeah, music in one was dynamite. I was getting
played on pop radio. It was so big.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Yeah, Frozen two is better, but that's just but that's
just my opinion. Oh speaking, Yes.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
You think Last Jedi is the best so of the.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
New trilogy, because it is. And speaking of ole Off,
there will be a Olof's Holiday Tradition Expedition scavenger hunt
at Epcot.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Okay have they been doing these still? I'm really used
to I used to have a lot of scavenger hunts.
It still happens. Yeah, yeah, they still do remy during
food and one yep. Okay, that's cool.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
So if you want to take part in that, it
is uh you could purchase your map.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
For uh.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
Okay, Josh, Josh gadd is going to be there the
first weekend of Candlelight Processional, so you could really do
off with ol Off in the park.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Does that mean you just have to follow all Off
around like Josh kash baho, Josh, Yeah, is that kind
of what we're getting at.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
It is not a leprechawn. You're not going to catch
them and get a pot of gold.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
I mean it's there's still you know, your little old
offs all around the park, okay.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Right, yeah, I mean it is officially. I mean they're
swinging into the holiday seasons at the park, so as
you as you go out there, you're going to start
to see it pop up literally everywhere you turn.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
Yeah, it was a little I gotta say it was
disjointing when I went the public yesterday and it was
already hearing Christmas carols.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
We're ready, it's time's let's move on. We need we
need something.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Yeah, I'm still listening to Halloween music.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
So, but aren't you like Halloween year round? Though?
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Yeah, exactly to me, I'm curious, I phased, I've phased
Christmas out of my life.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
I'm curious when Jimmy goes coming up on the fourteenth, fifteenth, uh,
to hear what what the parks looking like that at
that point? How Christmas do we are? You know, because
that's just like a week week away basically, yeah, like
a yeah, I would say about a way. Yeah. So
I look forward to hearing how Christmas we are out
at the parks and how much they've gotten up and
(22:40):
how Christmas is it feels out there.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
I can almost promise you that like Jollywood h jolly yeah,
Jollywood Knights is gonna be pretty much set up on
that Hollywood Boulevard.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
There is that a separate ticket. I don't remember. I
don't remember. I don't even Yeah, a super ticket event.
Uh you got Mickey's and Jollywood Knights.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Daring Stallinglake, a ice skating rink at Hollywood Studios, an
outdoor one for a show.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Okay, okay, all right, is there going to be a
free skate It's for a show. I know you're saying that.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
But like once upon a time when Frozen was really
really big, they had an indoor skating rink over there,
Like it was over there by I guess it's Pixar
place now.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
It was in one of the sound stages.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
They built a small, little ice skating rink and for
like fifteen bucks you got a free pair of socks
and you get the ice skate for thirty minutes.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
I don't believe so. I think this is just a
show because it's outdoors.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
Okay, they did you outdoor skating at UCF during the
Christmas season?
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Yes, they yea, it's sure they do that. It gets
crazy over there too.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
But yeah, so spooky season remains. It's small. The story,
it never ends. If it was over, then why would
I have a prop prop Michael Myers.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Knife you do have. That's a good looking knife too.
That's a nice looking prop knife. All right. Well, if

Speaker 3 (00:30):
Happy Spooky season, guys? What's going on?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Spooky season? It's it's over. It's Christmas. I was just
in a hobby lobby the other day. There was music playing.
There was literally Christmas stuff everywhere you turned.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
That's because they don't sell Halloween stuff there.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
They do, not as much, not as much. Yeah, not
as much. No, But this is when they shine. Christmas
time is when they shine. Season over with?
Speaker 3 (00:53):
And why do I have why do I have this
right here?
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Because you have a spooky Empire this weekend? Michael Myers?
Is that what you ordered? Spooky Empire? Michael Myers?
Speaker 3 (01:01):
I showed you guys my costume.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
I know it is Michael Myers right, Yes, how'd it go?
Did you get a lot of pictures?
Speaker 3 (01:08):
I got some pictures?
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Yah?
Speaker 3 (01:10):
It was fun.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
So it may not be Spooky season, but we are
entering into con season because you just went to Spooky Empire.
Mega Con I believe is on sale and really starting
to push out, you know, people that are going to
be appearing this year. But let's hear let's hear our
first of the year, Spooky Empire. How was the experience?
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Spooky was supposed to be actually the weekend of my birthday,
second weekend of October. Hurricane Milton obviously had something else
to say about that. I will I will give Spooky
Empire and the people behind that event so much credit
because they announced the Wednesday before, on October ninth, that
Spooky Empire would be postponed to a later date. In
(01:53):
four days later, they had a new date, new location,
and we're already in the process of booking guests and vendor.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Yeah, that's that's efficiency because as a promoter, it is
your nightmare for something like this to cancel when you
have so many moving pieces, and parts of that being
the celebrities. For the most part, that's going to be like,
it's a nightmare situation to try and rebook and turn
things around.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
The guy who owns Spooky Empire. I believe his name
is Pete. I actually talked to him one year in
between conventions because I ran into him at Star Wars
celebration and we were just chatting about it. One year
when they had to cancel Spooky because of the hurricanes,
he almost lost his house. Oh they had like yeah,
like they had really like mortgaged their lives to that event.
So I think he has since put in fail safes
(02:39):
in place, and he's got to prepare, you know, he's
got a a emergency plan, contingency plan.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Yeah. It is. Yeah, Like we're talking like if you're
a concert promoter, like Earthday, Birthday, all of a sudden,
you have to cancel them, like, oh, let me try
and rebook my headliner. Oh they're not available at all.
What do you do now? You're you're you're in like
major trouble. So they were able to turn it around
and and book a significant number of guests.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Yeah, yeah, there was still a bunch of guests still
made it. I've got to pull up the lists because
I don't completely remember all of it.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
And it moved to the Convention Center. Originally it was
going to be at a hotel.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
It was at the higher regency. Yeah, it moved.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
It moved this over to the Convention Center across the street.
Basically basically yes, yeah, which you know, that's that's fine.
Did you feel like with the change and date, the
crowd was still significant.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Crowd was still good. It was just a little bit
smaller because obviously a lot of people travel in for
this show from from other cities and markets and states
and stuff like that. So I think this was very
much a local based thing. But there were still a
lot of the same vendors that I've seen at past
spookies or at past cons so you can just tell
(03:51):
the ones that, oh, these are local vendors that always
do conventions, right, I will say one of the funny things,
not funny things, one of the most unique things is
one of the food items that was available at the
convention center was Chick fil A. I had not seen
that before.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Oh yeah, I mean this is a one.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Saturday it was open. Sunday it was not open.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
This is a huge step up for the Convention Center
because generally I've never been a fan of the food there.
I would call it garbage for the most part. But
we got Chick fil A in the in the situation now,
it changes everything.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
I mean, you know they have like four rivers as well.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Well, yeah, I mean this is this has been this
has been ongoing for a couple of years now, I'm
talking you know, going back years. The food was not great.
They have definitely made, you know, leaps and bounds as
far as improvements and the food options go. And Chick
fil A is just another huge plus for that one.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Let's see that they had Alicia Witt from Long Legs
in the Original Dune, Rosanna Arquette pulp fiction, Christy Swanson.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Buffy the Vampire Slayer the originginal.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Yes, Henry Thomas.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Oh for me, t Elliott, Yes, yes. Christy Swanson was
also in The Flowers in the Attic, which is a
great movie.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
She was also in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Flowers in the Attic.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
That's like the fourth time that has come up in
like the last two weeks for me.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
That's very weird. That is very weird, great disturbing.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Yeah, oh my god, like that that sent reverberation through
my life more than like any of the Nightmare on
Elm Street or Friday the thirteenth.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
That to me was a horror story. Yes, yes, a
terrible terrible parenting or terrible guardians that scares every child.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Then there was a bunch of the cast of Fright Night,
the original Fright Night, and then a couple of the
cast of Child to play one and two.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Okay, the original was Chucky there himself was Brad Dwarf
was not there, I mean the actual Chucky, just the
little guy running around with the Knight.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
I you know, I saw some here's the thing. I
saw some Chucky's. I saw some art the clowns. I
saw some centabites walking around because Clive Barker was there.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Okay, uh wait, do you know what a Cinobyite is,
because I'm thinking a mini cinnabon No I can think
of when you say cinebyte, I'm like, oh, mini cinnabon.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
No, You'll get the lambnit cube and you'll solve it
and then next thing, you know, the high Priest Cinnabyite
will come and tell your soul.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Apart, what what film is this?
Speaker 3 (06:24):
This is the hell Raiser franchise.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
You know, I could never like as cool as Pinhead
was like one of the coolest looking, like you know villains.
I could never get into those movies. They were just
like too nerdy or something from me. I don't know
what it was about.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Yeah, no, get into it. I don't get that at all.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Yeah, yeah, have you recently suffered ahead injury?
Speaker 3 (06:44):
These are this is like a gnarly movie.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
I know, I just I couldn't get into Hell Raiser.
I don't know if it wasn't like or Nightmare on
Elm Street.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
That's a million times more terrifying than those two series
franchisees that you talked about.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Yeah, it's not really like a slasher.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
I like the Slasher and not so much whatever Hell
Raiser was. I loved the look of Pinhead. Great look
for me. I'll show no go.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
You just like the like the Freddy Krueger like, you know,
quips and jokes and stuff.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
You know, he's a fun villain.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
I will say. I went to a panel about the
guy that created the reverse bear trap from.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Saul Oh okay uh oh.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
I had a panel uh talking about that and all
this special effects stuff. A lot of fun, a lot
of good questions, you know, uh, you know, is Jig
is Jigsaw? Is John Kramer justified? And what he does?
And it was it was It was a good experience.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Unpopular opinion. Don't care for the Saw movies either.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
What is wrong with you? Do you not appreciate good entertainment?
Speaker 2 (07:50):
I did. I don't know. I didn't like it. I
just felt like it was Gore for Gore. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Go watch that, Go go watch Meatballs.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I could watch the Nightmare Elmstreet. Three in the Dream Warriors,
that's the good one.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
One, one, two and three are good. Yeah, they kind
of where we go after that, they kind of fall.
I know what I know where we go because I
just watched all of these movies. I also just rewatch
all of the Halloween.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Movies and the problem in the US Zombie ones.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
I watched all of them, even the rob Zombies, even
the here's the thing, I know people don't like you
watch H.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Two again, all of them, all of them.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
I watched all three David Gordon Green ones too. Those
are the three Newest ones that he co wrote with
Dana McBride.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Oh okay, yes, I did watch this MOS and the
total pulling at the bottom.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Yes, they are not very good.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Two. I don't remember too much about H two. It
wasn't wasn't very good. It had like no that was
actually Vitamin C in it.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
No, H two O is the one that has Josh
Hartnett and Michelle Williams. You're thinking of Reserve does a soundtrack,
You're thinking of Resurrections. Which is the one that's in
the house.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Oh and that's I thought. H two is one of
the Vitamin C. She was a very short lived pop star,
like I know.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Yeah, she does the graduation song.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Okay, I don't remember.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Resurrections though, does have my one of my favorite moments
when towards the end of the movie, Buster Rhymes says
trick or treat and then Roundhouse kicks Michael Myers.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Want to watch it now? I kind of want to
watch it now. There's no chance he gets his leg
up that eye he does.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
I saw it happens in the movie.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
No, I mean, I'm sure it happens in the movie,
but there's no chance that he did that himself because
Buster Rhymes. Uh, I don't know. I think you don't
believe he's that negative shape. Yeah, I think he would
need a new hip after that. Even at that age, we.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Have ventured far off of your supposed to. So here's
what we're not even talking about. Theme park here.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Here's the thing that I will say. I know we
like to talk about, like what's the new big like
cosplay that we see at conventions. You know, you know,
it was for a long time it was The Joker,
and then it was Harley Queen, and then it was
like Deadpool, Mandalorians, Spider Man's art.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
The clown art.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
The clown is like the newest like craze, so much art,
the clown cosplays and you know, people that are a
part of these movies or merchandise, all sorts of stuff.
It is art. The clown is like the phenom. Now, okay,
(10:40):
to the point I am now accepted, I might have
to watch these movies. I want to be a part
of the zeitgeist of these things.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
You don't like clowns.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
I do not like clowns, and that kind of gore
is just not for me. But yeah, I might have to,
Like like Pennywise had his moment. But it's just like art.
The clown is like out of.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
The way, buddy, Okay, all right, did you buy many things?
Speaker 3 (11:05):
I bought one. I bought one print because, as I've
talked about before, I have run out of wolf space.
So I'm very very very limited of the things that
I do buy at these things, But that all works
out because Mega Con is coming up and there's at
least one person that I do want to get a
(11:26):
picture with, so I gotta save my money. Accordingly, who's
he going to be?
Speaker 2 (11:30):
A MegaCon? I know who it is.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
He's gonna have to make a what do you call
it when you go see a doctor?
Speaker 2 (11:38):
What do you call that?
Speaker 4 (11:38):
An appointment? An appointment for that photograph? If I'm not mistaken,
that is correct.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
No doctor who is going to be the guy from
Game of Throats?
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Yeah, Matt Smith, Damon Targarian or the eleventh doctor for
me House of the Dragon, How's the Dragon?
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Yep?
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Or doctor who? But they did also just announce a
whole bunch of people the Breakfast Club will all be there.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Oh wow, the whole crew. Huh y yep, even Emilia
you see mistressed that.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
No, yeah, he doesn't see this stuff, Molly. He just Judd, Anthony,
Michael Hall and Ali sheety.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Mm hmm, almost all of them.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
And then Joseph Quinn, Eddie Munson Trained your Things mm hmmm.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
That's a that's a big one.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Who's also human Tour in the New Fantastic Four movie
and he is in Gladiator too.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Wow. Okay, he's getting out there.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
And uh but also they just announced U Priscilla Pressley okay,
from the Naked Gun movies.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Yeah. G daughter of Elvis and daughter of Elvis.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
No no, no, no wife daughter, yes, wife, daughter of
Elvis passed away about five years ago.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Marie. Okay, Yeah, I'm confused.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
She's got to be old, but we're not going to
get into that.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
I'm saying she was like the teen when she met Elvis.
So was that the sixties? Elvis just got canceled. Son
up a Gun and then the big sin canceled.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
The big name is that the Millie Bobby Brown will also.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Be yeah missus but uh missus.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Bon Job, Missus bon Jovi. That is correct.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Pretty cool last name. It's pretty cool if you know,
to switch out your last name from Millie Bobby Brown
to uh Millie bon Jovi. It's pretty good trade.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
Yeah, and especially since you know Bobby Brown, you know,
because I know she's Millie Bobby Brown.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Yeah, that's such a great name to be associated with. No, no,
not at all. Yeah, So that is uh mega con
that's coming up in February.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Correct, that is coming up February sixth through the ninth.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
All right, well, should we uh, should we delve into
some theme park talk on this theme park show?
Speaker 3 (13:49):
But very quickly, if you have a chance to go
to a Spooky Empire, it happens twice a year in
central Florida. It's it's a lot of fun. There's there's
a May and then there's a uh October. Actually this
year it'll be Halloween is the first day of the
event next fall.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Yeah, it's very good. Mayhem.

Yes, very nice, very nice. Cool. Yeah, good event, fun event.
Definitely wanted to check out. Yes, I have some theme
park news for myself.

I am officially a Pyor pass holder. Again. He pulled
the trigger. Were waiting for them to raise prices again? No,
hey jumped in price. Let me buy him, Dickerman. Just
hear me out here. Okay.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
When I'm signing up for my new annual pass, they
give you the option to sign up for the Disney
card and they'll give you four hundred dollars back, which
is equivalent of your down payment, pretty much your down
payment for the passes.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Nice. So I sign up in a new Disney card.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Got the one with the Mickey impals because it was
the only one that had a dog on it. Yeah,
and now I'm I'm a Pazz holder again. I already
have a Disney card. Maybe I should cancel it and
then see if they give me the offer. Yeah, probably not,
but I'm going November November fifteenth, I'm going to Savvy's
(15:14):
workshop to build my lightsaber.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
This guy is lightsabers. You got a lot of lightsabers.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
I think I have a normal amount for a person
of my age and social status.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
As Lauren approved your next lightsaber purchase.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
It was a very tough negotiation, but it came down
to it, and I have been given rudimentary approval.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
That's like a soft sums up the slightest liver liver
of light and they're like, Okay, good see you later. Bye. Well,
she's coming with me, so she's gonna see what happens.
She's gonna judge everything. Do you really need that Kyper Crystal?
You don't. You don't need that one already got he does.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Well, we're going with other friends, and that kind of
helped smooth it over, because there will be once the
sun goes down, there will be a lightsaber battle in
front of the Millennium Falcon.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Simmy's gonna slip the other wife that twenty to keep
her distracted for about half an hour.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
No, everybody's on board. It's good. Okay, Scott, what do
you got?
Speaker 3 (16:20):

of us are annual pass holders.

Speaker 3 (16:30):
No no, no, no, no, no, no, Jimmy knows what
I'm getting on.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Oh, you're trying to say, I have an annual pass
that would have expired by now that you guys claim
to have purchased.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
It hasn't activated to use it. You haven't activated yet,
it's sitting in the account.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Yeah, it's a disheartening. I like when your friends, when
your friends do you a favor and bypasses.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
For you a solid yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Yeah, and we bought you Ivory Tower like you asked for.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Yeah, like nine thousand dollars and you just.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Refuse to acknowledge it.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
You're the one that said you wanted to buy Coastal
annual pass. They'll get you into everything on the plane.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Yeah, we got you, We got you, water park, we
got you. Photos like.

to uh the one there and could see me. Yeah,
fun spot like land here, I'm gonna just go park. Yeah,
it's about where I'm at about now with the prices
of these parks. So, but Sea World, Universal Disney, we
(17:42):

professional podcast that covers theme parks.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Yes, do you want some other theme park news?
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Uh, well Universal we talked about this months ago, actually
might have been over a year ago. Universal announced the
Universe Versal Horror Unleashed, the year round event in Las Vegas.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Yes, so this is like a tent pool attraction in Vegas.

Yeah, it's basically, you know, kind of like Horror Nites
year round. It's gonna have houses and what nots going inside.
There's a Texas Chainsaw Massacre House at Exorcist, Believer House,
and Scarecrow the Reaping.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Okay, all right, do you see them changing this like
on an annual basis or do you think these houses
stay the same.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
That's what a lot of people have kind of surmised
from the announcement is that some things will be a
permanent other stuff will be cycled through. Okay, all right,
and it is set open sometime next year.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Okay, so sometime next year basically at permanent Halloween hornites
in Vegas. Correct, they got a lot of fun stuff
in Vegas.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Does say where it will be located at Area fifteen.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
I don't know where that is, Yeah, from somewhere on
the strip. I assume, yes, Oh no, it could be
Old Vegas.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Too, not Area fifty one.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
No. Remember when they they were gonna raid Area fifty one. Yes, Oh,
everybody's gonna lead.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
It is one mile west of the strip.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
They were all gonna try and raid it. If enough
of us go, they can't shoot it.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
They can't stay exactly.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
Yeah, Okay, one mile west. That's gonna I feel like
that's gonna be kind of towards the uh the raiders
arena Oh okay in that area.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
I think that the look.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
So that got announced, so yes, so that you know
what that means spooky season remains.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
It will in Vegas, that's for sure.

the Pho, join Frozen friends from Aarindale as they ring
in the season.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
It's Frozen still hot with the little ones. The little
little girls still love Frozen, yes, okay.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
And the secret is that Frozen two is better than
Frozen one.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
I don't know if I agree. I mean, but it
is if you say so, Yeah, you know what, I'll
tell you what.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
The storyline I thought was a little bit better in two,
but the music is way better in one.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Oh yeah, music in one was dynamite. I was getting
played on pop radio. It was so big.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Yeah, Frozen two is better, but that's just but that's
just my opinion. Oh speaking, Yes.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
You think Last Jedi is the best so of the.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
New trilogy, because it is. And speaking of ole Off,
there will be a Olof's Holiday Tradition Expedition scavenger hunt
at Epcot.

food and one yep. Okay, that's cool.

Okay, Josh, Josh gadd is going to be there the
first weekend of Candlelight Processional, so you could really do
off with ol Off in the park.

Does that mean you just have to follow all Off
around like Josh kash baho, Josh, Yeah, is that kind
of what we're getting at.

offs all around the park, okay.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Right, yeah, I mean it is officially. I mean they're
swinging into the holiday seasons at the park, so as
you as you go out there, you're going to start
to see it pop up literally everywhere you turn.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
Yeah, it was a little I gotta say it was
disjointing when I went the public yesterday and it was
already hearing Christmas carols.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
We're ready, it's time's let's move on. We need we
need something.
Speaker 3 (22:06):

Speaker 2 (22:08):
So, but aren't you like Halloween year round? Though?
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Yeah, exactly to me, I'm curious, I phased, I've phased
Christmas out of my life.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
I'm curious when Jimmy goes coming up on the fourteenth, fifteenth, uh,
to hear what what the parks looking like that at
that point? How Christmas do we are? You know, because
that's just like a week week away basically, yeah, like
a yeah, I would say about a way. Yeah. So
I look forward to hearing how Christmas we are out
at the parks and how much they've gotten up and
(22:40):
how Christmas is it feels out there.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
I can almost promise you that like Jollywood h jolly yeah,
Jollywood Knights is gonna be pretty much set up on
that Hollywood Boulevard.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
There is that a separate ticket. I don't remember. I
don't remember. I don't even Yeah, a super ticket event.
Uh you got Mickey's and Jollywood Knights.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Daring Stallinglake, a ice skating rink at Hollywood Studios, an
outdoor one for a show.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Okay, okay, all right, is there going to be a
free skate It's for a show. I know you're saying that.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
But like once upon a time when Frozen was really
really big, they had an indoor skating rink over there,
Like it was over there by I guess it's Pixar
place now.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
It was in one of the sound stages.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
They built a small, little ice skating rink and for
like fifteen bucks you got a free pair of socks
and you get the ice skate for thirty minutes.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
I don't believe so. I think this is just a
show because it's outdoors.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
Okay, they did you outdoor skating at UCF during the
Christmas season?
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Yes, they yea, it's sure they do that. It gets
crazy over there too.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
But yeah, so spooky season remains. It's small. The story,
it never ends. If it was over, then why would
I have a prop prop Michael Myers.

Knife you do have. That's a good looking knife too.
That's a nice looking prop knife. All right. Well, if
