Let the madness begin!
This year we’re changing things up in a BIG way. Instead of a traditional bracket, we’re taking on the ultimate challenge and ranking EVERY haunted house from Halloween Horror Nights 30 through 34.
That’s 5 years, 50 houses and 1 master list!
In this three episode series, we each sat down and individually ranke...
Remember Underground Creatures? What about Seaside Village? Maybe Devil Dogs, Lair of the Banshees, or even Billie Eilish will jog your memory.
For the sake of sanity, we’re taking a trip back and revisiting Version 1 of every Speculation Map from HHN30 through HHN34, all created by the crew at Horror Night Nightmares.
We’ll look back at what the rumors were at the time, what everyone in the community was saying, and what our initi...
This week, we’ve got a bit of a double feature!
Speculation for Halloween Horror Nights 35 is officially running wild. On February 13th, we received another Speculation Map from Horror Night Nightmares.
Nick and Shamus already gave their live reactions on YouTube, but we hadn’t heard from Jamie… until now. Nick and Jamie revisit the map to see if there are any clues they might’ve missed the first time around.
Plus, Nick and Shamus ...
In Part 2 of our quest to crown the 25 Best Horror Movies of the Last 25 Years, we’re jumping into the modern era! Covering the years of 2011 through 2025.
The rules stay brutal:
• 4 nominations per year
• 5 minutes (or so) to debate
• Only ONE movie survives as the yearly champion
From genre-defining hits to under-the-radar nightmares, this stretch of years is absolutely stacked! Did we disrespect your favorite? Did we crown the...
With HHN rumors cooling off (for now), we’re shifting gears and diving deep into what we love most… horror movies.
In this episode, we’re traveling back through the last 25 years of horror, one year at a time to crown the 25 Best Horror Movies of the Last 25 Years.
Here’s the twist:
-
Each year gets 4 nominations
-
We’ve got 5 minutes (give or take) to debate
-
Only one film per year can be crowned the champion

It’s February. We’ve survived Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s which means there’s only one thing left to do…
Start talking HHN 35!
After months of tiny breadcrumbs and whispered rumors floating around the HHN universe, today’s the day we finally dive in.
Is Stranger Things actually making a comeback? Could HHN land a potential Oscar-winning movie this year? Is Jack back?....again
Only time will tell… but it’s officially rum...
The time has come for our now seemingly annual Halloween Horror Nights Guess Map episode!
Somehow, over the past two years, we’ve lucked (or maybe skill’d?) our way into nailing a few of these picks, so let’s see how many we can call this year.
Every property on this map is pure guess work on our end. We put this together back in December before most of the rumors even started swirling.
Think we missed something?
Have a predi...
Welcome back to The Spookeasy!
Where the drinks are strong and the scares are stronger!
This week, we’re sliding into something a little more sinful as we pour up a stiff one and dive headfirst into Sinners. From blood soaked blues to deals with the devil, we’re breaking down the themes, performances, and moments that make this film hit harder than its body count.
Whether you’re a seasoned horror fan or just looking for your next...
Holiday break? Over. Speculation season? Back on!
We’ve got a fresh Halloween Horror Nights Speculation Map courtesy of our friends at Horror Night Nightmares, who dropped this gem on Christmas morning.
It's got wolves!
It's got jack in box!
It's got devil horns! and so much more!
It’s been living rent-free in our heads ever since so let’s stop waiting and break it all down!
The HHN35 house codenames are out, and you know what that means! Reckless speculation, wild IP guesses, and probably connecting dots that were never meant to be connected.
From balloons and buses we’re breaking down each codename and guessing what they could mean for Halloween Horror Nights 35. Are these clever misdirects? Obvious clues? Or just Universal laughing at us? We’re throwing out our theories, calling our shots, and setti...

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!
