It’s that time of year again… our WAAAAAY too early Halloween Horror Nights predictions are back!
And yes, we hear you: “It’s barely December, what the hell?” But around here, it’s never too early to start theorizing.
Last year we threw out some wild guesses; Jason, FNAF, even Hatchet and Chains and somehow nailed a few along the way.
Can we pull off another Hail Mary this season? We won’t know until August, but the speculation sta...
The season has officially come to a close and the votes are locked in! That can only mean one thing… it’s time for the illustrious Fear and Beer HHN Awards! From your Listener Awards to Best House, all the way to the highly coveted and infamous Broken Toilet Award, we’re honoring it all. So suit up, grab a seat, and join us as we shower this incredible event with one final bouquet of praise!
The wait is over! We’re back with Part 2 of our Halloween Horror Nights 34 finale, and this time we’re diving into what everyone’s been itching for....The Houses!
We’ve been discussing these houses for almost a year now so let's see where each one stands!
What started as a simple one episode send off quickly turned into a two-parter! There was just too much to unpack without rushing it, so this week kicks off our Final Thoughts: Part 1!
The fog has settled, the lights have dimmed, but there’s still plenty left to say about Halloween Horror Nights 34.
Join us as we dive into our overall impressions of the event and be sure to tune in next week for Part 2, where we’ll break down all 1...
Now that HHN34 is in full swing, it’s time to look back and see how it stacks up against last year’s event. From house lineups and scare zones to overall vibes.
Which year truly takes the crown?
Was HHN33’s nostalgia and lineup unbeatable, or did HHN34 raise the bar even higher with its creativity and energy?
Grab a drink, join the fog, and let’s settle the score once and for all!
This week we are going to be dropping a donation only based episode to help out a great friend and fellow weenie Dad in need.
Helping Pups originated from The Catacombs of Halloween Horror Nights long standing history of giving back to the community and we’re teaming up with them, Kenneth from Pangolin and Rush of Fear, Michael from Hallowed Thrills and Dakota from Cathode Coaster and Horror Nights Gauntlet to give back on our e...
How are we already halfway through the best time of the year?!
HOW?!
That being said, it’s time to check in and see where all the houses stand for us right now.
Reminder: these rankings are based purely on our own experiences. Your list may look completely different and that’s the fun of it!
Will things shift before the final rankings? Oh, absolutely. (And let’s be real—they probably will)
This is a tough episode to do this year because everything is top notch!
However, we do need to look every detail and think "Could this have been done better?" or "How do we take this and improve it for next year?"'
We go into the Food and Beverage, Scare Zones, Street Experiences, Houses and Shows!
We’ve hit the streets, we’ve braved the houses, and now it’s time to reflect!
In this episode, we look back at our Hype Lists and see how our expectations are stacking up so far. While it’s not time for a full re-rank just yet, we’ll break down what’s risen, what’s fallen, and what’s surprised us most this year!
We came, we saw, we kicked its ass!
And just like that we are back in the fog, tearing through the houses, hanging in the scare zones and soaking up all the sights and sounds! What a time to be alive!
We spent Thursday to Sunday in the parks and we have A LOT to talk about!
The grand finale! The hype lists are here!
Opening day is finally upon us, and we’re capping off the One Week Until HHN Podathon with the episode everyone waits for all year.
Where does each house, zone, and show fall in our rankings? Tune in to find out!
Thank you all for riding with us through Podathon week.
We’ll see you in the fog!
The HHN menus just dropped, and we’re serving up all the tasty (and terrifying) details!
From spaghetti pizza to a freakishly long corn dog, we’re dishing on the snacks and sips you’ll want to sink your teeth into this year!
Two worlds collide; Horror and Wrestling!
Nick sits down with Ryzin, a pro wrestler who has lived and breathed horror personas throughout his career. We dive into the history of horror in wrestling, how it works (and struggles) in today’s climate, and even how it could fit right into HHN.
Big thanks to Ryzin for joining the Podathon to give us a first hand experience in both of these worlds!

The one where we get in trouble… kind of. 😈
This fan-favorite episode is where we let loose and throw out our hottest takes. Did we just trash your favorite house? Maybe. Are we sorry about it? Absolutely not.
It’s back! The annual HHN Fantasy Draft!
Each of us will draft a full event lineup:
10 Houses
5 Scare Zones
1 Show
2 Icons
But here’s the twist—once something is picked, it’s off the board. Meaning if you’re last, you might get stuck with something you didn’t want!
The chaos is real, and it’s glorious.

It’s finally here! The kickoff to the One Week To HHN Podathon!
In our first episode we break down every single house, theorizing what the facades might look like, the must-have rooms, and what overall style each house could bring to the event.
Small town America meets slasher mayhem in Clown in a Cornfield, Adam Cesare’s brutal and bloody love letter to classic horror.
When Quinn Maybrook moves to the quiet town of Kettle Springs, she discovers that beneath the cornfields and friendly smiles lies a community divided and a sinister clown mascot ready to paint the stalks red.
This modern slasher blends old-school brutality with social commentary, delivering relentless kill...
The streets are coming alive as Halloween Horror Nights 2025 draws closer!
In this episode, we take you on a full park walk-through, breaking down the latest props, set pieces, and how they might tie into each scare zone’s story.
