 Hey friends, tonight we are hanging out at Halloween Horror Nights 2023 and I am so excited. Universal Studios invited me out and gave me permission to film inside all of the houses. So spoiler warning, I am going to be showing you guys everything. I can't wait to go through some of the houses like Stranger Things, The Last of Us, Chucky, The Exorcist and just share my experiences with you. So we're going to eat some food, drink some drinks and have a scary Halloween Horror Nights kind of night. Anyhoo, let's go do this. And we have made it to Halloween Horror Nights. I am so excited. Halloween Horror Nights is one of my favorite things to do and hopefully there's no rain. It definitely looks like we've got some angry clouds in the background there. I mean it would be cool if it was just like this all night. Kind of sets it up though. It's a little spooky, you know? On top of doing all of the houses we're also going to do all of the scare zones and the live shows like The Nightmare Refuel Revenge Dream. That is one of my all-time favorite shows. And also I wouldn't mind trying some of the food and drinks because HHN has some really fun food and it's just a great atmosphere. Like guys, I am so excited. I got my pumpkin shirt on and I'm ready to go. Just to give you guys a little heads up due to the intense nature of this event, parental discretion is advised and also there will be strobe effects and fog effects as we're walking through the houses. So if any of that actually bothers you, please make sure you skip over. In order for us to get everything done tonight we're going to be doing our IP tour. And that comes with the guide. It lets us skip the lines and gives us reserved seating for all the shows. And it can cost you just around $400 a person or if you want to do a private one it costs I think just around $4,000 for 10 people. And that's like a rough estimate. It's like $400 to $500 but I'm excited and I hope I get scared. Universal Studios closes at 5pm and then reopens at 6.30 for Halloween Horror Nights depending on how quick they get everyone out of the park. But if you are staying for Halloween Horror Nights you can actually stay in the park. As long as you have a ticket to the event there's places called Stay and Scream where you get to stay in here and then once the event starts you get to go rush to the next event and you don't have to leave the park. And it's actually a really good way to do it. And they have locations all around the park. Right here is a sign that shows you all of them. New York Springfield and Rikers. It's time to go check in for our IP tour and meet our guide for the night. And I'm so excited. I think tonight I think the rain is going to just pass over and it's going to be a fun night full of spooks and fries. Like I mentioned I'm lucky that I'm able to film inside the houses. Normally you're not allowed to do that but because I'm here with the media and Universal Orlando they're giving me permission just to film tonight and it's going to be fun. Like I said at least I get to show you guys but I am going to try to edit it a little bit so that I can make it more fast paced and make things line up properly. Either way it's going to be a fun time. Last year my favorite house was the Universal Monsters House and this year they have another house called Monsters Unmasked and the monsters that are in this house are so awesome. It is the Hunchback of Notre Dame, the Phantom of the Opera, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. And then I think the Invisible Man and I'm so excited because last year the monsters faced off against each other. Like it was like Dracula versus the Wolfman versus the Mummy and I don't know what to expect of it this year you know what I mean? And then also I hear that Dueling Dragons that's another house has altered like it's going to have different endings and different outcomes depending on when you walk through it. So it's going to be something different each time and I'm still looking forward to that. Inside the RIP lounge or the VIP lounge they actually have a balcony where you can overlook the park and look at everyone waiting to get in. The gates are going to open up in just about an hour but I feel bad because it's starting to rain and they're going to have to stand and wait for an hour but that initial shot like right here for the ceremony is so awesome. I've been there before and I've waited literally the first person and I loved it and it's really cool to see a lot of people dedicated to just wait it out in the rain. My friend VincentVision is actually front and center and he's probably going to have a video so make sure you check out his channel because he's going to be showing the Skerimony. Look at him there. Hi Vincent. I don't think he sees it. Oh yeah there he is. Alright the moment has come we're going to leave the lounge and then we're going to go to a little pre-show where we get to sample some of the food for tonight and then we're going to link up and go out and start hitting the houses. I feel like we're going to be able to get everything accomplished tonight because we're doing the RIP tour and hopefully we're going to be able to do the Nightmare Fuld Revenge Dream. It's one of my all-time favorite shows. I mean I loved Nightmare Fuld last year and this year I hear it's even better. It is now 6.12 and they're starting to let the stay and scream in people in. Hi how are you? Have fun and enjoy. First ones look at that they're lining up already. Would you look at that the rain has ended. The sun is not out it's still very gloomy out but at least there's no rain. He's here. He's now. But ultimately he wants you to be apart. And if it's more than you want then surely there's something that I can do with you. Most people try to avoid the thought. I like to show them what's inside. Out there is a look into my past that will show you your future. Your destiny awaits. Enter it now as this horror night begins. Now it's time to head back outside and start our night and start going to all the houses. I'm so excited this was actually a really nice little presentation they put together and gave me lots of information about the different houses. And it's really cool how much story they go into creating these houses. Like they give back stories to back stories to like back stories honestly. Oh. And to head into the Yeti house and I love the Yeti houses in the past and I love how they change it up too. And all the creatures in there are usually pretty good like the make up and the special effects are on point. And yeah I hope it's a little bit cool in there. Like last year it was really cool but this year it's had a base camp so I don't know we might not get the super cold AC. With the RIP tour we have a designated entrance so we're actually even skipping the express line. Like it's even faster than the express so that's why I think it's worth it. The house was so good it literally might be one of my favorite houses of the night. I love the little baby Yeti it was dead kind of sad but I love like bigger creatures. I like you know what I mean like most of the Yetis are like eight foot tall and they definitely get you. I got scared a couple of times the jump scares were there and I just like the overall like overall theming of it. You have to walk through the scare zones to get around the park and people can just scare you at any point. You don't know who's who. You don't know who's actually a scare actor. Well you can tell by the blood but I've been fooled before. At Steppe we're gonna make our way into the Chuckie house and it has a 60 minute wait at the moment and I think this is actually back in Fast and the Furious supercharged this is where the queue probably is gonna be at. The Chuckie house is going to be really really fun from what I hear Chuckie has learned to basically split his soul and possess like multiple things and inside the house Chuckie is trying to rack up the highest kill count he's ever gotten so he is possess everybody everybody from little Chuckies to big Chuckies to some other things and surprises and I'm kind of like I'm kind of scared like honestly Chuckie was like a major like horror thing for me when I was growing up like I was afraid of child play and here I am about to go get scared by them. It just seems so strange that we're going under a Napa Otto hard sign to go into a Chuckie house at the moment you know? Hey, how are ya? Even think of that. Got me a couple times. I thought it was over. He's asking for help up there. Oh my lord. I am so scared right now. We're walking into another spot. Chuckie was scarier than I could ever imagine and when I thought it was done it just there was another part to it and it was so cool because there were scare actors getting attacked and killed by Chuckie and Chuckie was trying to kill me so it was like I didn't know I kind of felt bad like the scare actors were trying to scare me but Chuckie was trying to kill them so it was like Chuckie trying to help me or was he trying to kill them and then kill me? Up next we're going to be making our way into Dueling Dragons which is a house based off of a roller coaster that used to be here in Islands of Adventure and Dueling Dragons got replaced with Hagrid's motorbike adventure. In fact the whole entire area there had a really nice theme between like it was Merlin and Dragons and now another wizard took over there but it's cool to see them actually bringing back old like attractions and stuff like that and then creating a house off of it so I'm kind of excited to see how it goes and this is the one I heard where it helps multiple endings and you have to choose a path so it kind of changes the game a little bit Wow look at this facade Oh Sly Theatres of the Realm You have saved the Kingdom Dueling Dragons was an amazing house the production value, the scares the story, I loved it wow it's going to be hard to top that one I found out like you know how I mentioned you have to choose between fire and ice but it's two wizards battling for Merlin's book and Merlin tricks them so whoever wins and gets the dragon, whoever wins and gets the book turns into a dragon and I chose the ice I chose the ice side and I ended up winning because Merlin came out the end Merlin came out and he was like you did it, you saved everyone it was really cool, I really liked it and now we're going to keep moving along I hope things aren't fast paced but it's really like fast paced you do all the houses in clusters when you're doing the RIP tour so we're doing four houses take a break and then again four houses and then two and I kind of like that and to the stranger things house and the ouchy minutes long 90 minutes long but I'm so excited to see Vecna and Eddie and the only thing I want to hear is Chrissy wake up and I will be happy 90 minute wait and we didn't wait at all like we went right up the RIP like line and we got right on like it was amazing but it was so good like there were so many great Eddie's and Vecna was in there he got me a couple times I'm not going to lie he did get me a couple times now that we've gotten a couple of the houses done we decided to come back and hang out at the little lounge area and get some light refreshments and drinks and they also have bathrooms and it's really nice I love this whole entire display they have set up here it really adds to the effect of things ooh don't let people knock the funfetti or Dr. Oddfellow's hot dog because I did try it I didn't like the mustard but the Kool-Aid was instant you can taste the Kool-Aid very very fast and I just like the idea of it you gotta be creative you gotta be unique you know they have all of the food on display for us along with samples for us to try like they have a federal ration bar and then they've got a graveyard mini cake Yuri's peanut butter jar right here a mini pumpkin puff I've had that before the left behind ravioli if you guys haven't seen my video over at the Taste of Terror I tried a lot of this food and it was all good and then they have Dr. Oddfellow's Carn Evil Dog which you know it's special because it's a red hot dog and a funfetti hot dog bun with Kool-Aid pickles bubblegum mustard and potato sticks doesn't it I mean I kind of like saying it you know a funfetti hot dog bun with Kool-Aid pickles and bubblegum mustard sounds good in your accent right it does and then they've got cheddar jalapeno hellfire club and then a surfer boy french bread pizza a lot of great stuff and we got to try most of it it's time to head out we got all refreshed I had a cup of coffee and we're going to start making our way to the other side of the park and maybe go through some of the scare zones this year I'm sure you've seen Dr. Oddfellow he is actually going to be in all the different scare zones but he's a shapeshifter so he's like changing his looks but we got to keep an eye out for him because he does have like a scar down the side of his face this year's HHN icon he even is like the origin story of Jack he killed Jack this is another one of Dr. Oddfellow's eras we are in the 1913 now where he is starting to collect all these beings as you guys go through keep your eye for a few years you might see a familiar face look here I don't like walking into places that you can't see in front of you and this fog is thick it's really cool because all of these shipyard containers are all monsters and people from HHN past the mothman prophecies I am so happy that the rain is gone but it is so humid out right now and because of the storm like we had a pretty bad storm we got pushed back and I think we're not going to be able to get everything done tonight everything got pushed back they cancelled the ceremony and we're just going to see I know we're going to get all the houses done and all the scare zones but I don't know if we're going to make it to the shows we'll see though I'm fingers crossed because I love that show but now it is super humid out like super hot I love that when you do an RIP tour you don't take the traditional routes you actually go backstage look at that we're heading in the back of the Simpsons area now we're going to make our way into the last of us and I'm excited for this house I have never played the video game I've seen the show but I'm pretty sure the characters are based off of the video game you know what I mean you're not going to see some of the characters from the show you'll see their likeness kind of but not like that you know what I mean we're about to head into a post-apocalyptic world where a quarter step virus, mushrooms have ruined everything people have ingested these and it has latched onto their brain and turned them into these brain just crazed creatures that are probably the most beautiful zombie-esque thing that you will ever see the line for the last of us is insane it's at 90 minutes and look at just the sea of bodies holy moly I feel like it's way more than a 90 minute wait but I do miss the weekend the weekend is in the last of us house and I miss the music seems quiet back here right? yeah when the weekend was here like I was happy to wait in line like I was bumping and dancing yeah and like I said this is a big perk doing the RIP tour because this line is just like wow holy moly oh boy we're heading in now the AC is definitely pumping in here at least give us a second to cool off a little bit I think it's time we quit this place the bus was so much better than I thought it was going to be like usually I love like universals own houses like I'm not the biggest fan of IPs but the last of us that was amazing like honestly the production value the scares like really the sounds the sounds in there were so creepy but yeah we're going to keep moving along and get more houses done in scare zones Universal Monsters on Mask our bread and butter, our babies this is what got us to the great depression that has kept us going we are heading to so we are going to go to Paris Dr. Jekyll is traveling with his medicine show showing off these new potions he has created the invisible man is on the run from London he's got people coming out the residents of Paris the hunchback of Notre Dame running them up causing all kinds of craziness now the phantom takes a different turn in this house they wanted to give him a kind of an interest I'm a phantom girly all the girls think he's so treating so wonderful to me he's a crazy, crazy ex boyfriend and in this house he's going to take it to the next level if you keep an eye out he has a different face than normal this phantom takes people into Universal Monsters on Mask and like I said last year this was my favorite house and it's a heavy front runner for my favorite house this year and I haven't even went through it like the Hunchback of Notre Dame, Phantom Opera all my favorite monsters all trying to come after me I love it, I'm here for it I am taking this road it's too long I've been going through all different majesties it's a massacre my favorite character was definitely the Hunchback of Notre Dame and I like how they played a little twist on the Phantom of the Opera now he's wearing mask that he takes from people he takes people's faces but I still think last year's one was way better I loved how it had a surprise ending like I said this is still great but I definitely enjoyed last year's and now we're going to go and take a little break at an exclusive spot only for private RIP tours and it's really nice to get some Aces and drinks and just kind of relax and recharge a little bit like I mentioned you get a lot of perks when it comes to the RIP tour and one of them being this little exclusive hangout spot inside the Coca-Cola store here and it's really nice so you get to go in, drink some Coca-Cola and have some fun and get some AZ inside the little Coca-Cola refreshment station they actually have some RIP specialty cocktails what the Fanta look at that, isn't that kind of cool and I think it's only in here it looks like it's old smoky white lightening new Amsterdam vodka lemon juice, passion fruit a whole bunch of stuff and then this what the Fanta I've never even heard of it before but they have like a little bottle here look at this I've never seen this before zero calorie mystery flavored soda a little what the Fanta and honestly every time I say that I feel like I'm going to say a bad word can I say a bad word what the Fanta what the Fanta I don't know what to think of this I don't think I like it it's like great I don't know enough of the Fanta business it's time to make our way into the next house the darkest deal look at this I think this was Bugs last year actually and I like the outside Bub's Lounge the deal the deal the deal is done the deal is done the deal that was fast oh my Lanta the old was a great house too I mean honestly I'm loving all the houses tonight. All of the houses have something special about them, and I love the fact that we were kind of in the cornfield, in the darkest deal, and I love, right at the beginning, he's like just, here's the deal. It was really cool, and he had it on that big scroll, and yeah, I mean, I think we're making great time. I mean, a lot of people are super, super hot, super sweaty, super wet from the rain, but it seems like nobody cares. Like, we're all just having a good time. Look at that, reward. Jack Smith. Now, we're gonna make our way into Dr. Oddfellow's house, and Jack is gonna be in here. This is the origin story of Jack. In fact, like I mentioned before, Dr. Oddfellow killed Jack. Striking acts of distortion. Oh my lanta. There's a bunch of stuffed animals in here. Your souls have been distorted, and you are not. Good too, and I like how they had like a knife throwing scene, and they were shooting compressed air at me, and it really got me, like I was like, I felt like I was getting, I felt like somebody was throwing something at me, and I'm not a big fan of clowns. Like, I think they're funny, but also a little creepy, so that house was like kind of like creepy to me. Like, I was a little like, like chilled, like scary, you know what I mean? Like, not like surprised, like, you know, jump scare, like kind of like, you know? I mean, I don't know, I feel like clowns are a big phobia for a lot of people, and I like that, I like the backstory, and it's nice to see a new icon, you know? This is the only win where you don't have to try to find him, because he's up there and crying. Without the scars, because this is before that happened. He has discovered this skull that you guys saw on the cane of souls. That is where he draws his power from. He is just getting more and more power hungry, powering over the skull as we go through. This is infamous for having all of the pumpkins in it. This year we replaced the pumpkins with bats. There's 253 bats in there this year. But he's got all these creatures that these potions have started to kind of hybrid together, part plant, part animal, part creepy. It's just the corn in there, so we are gonna head into the jungle we do. Mm! Oh my goodness! We should sell a lot of food. We're doing a lot of different things. We've got to put in a lot of food. We're looking for something to sell. We've got like that one skull. We're gonna make our way to the Exorcist believer and the fun thing about this is the movie hasn't come out yet so the house is actually a movie trailer for the upcoming Exorcist movie that comes out I think in October so it's kind of really cool I don't think Halloween Horn nights have ever ever done anything like that before moon house now and I like this house because it's up close it's the closest to the entrance so that means usually people skip over it and then hit it on the way out so you sometimes can find a very low wait time in the beginning of the night and also at the end of the night if you ever want to like kind of skip out on the lines come later in the evening it is so like dead here once like after 12 o'clock I mean sometimes you'll see them spike up in like 60 minutes but sometimes you can just do all the houses in two hours like legit I've done that before with that we are done here tonight what a fun Halloween horror nights it wouldn't be opening night without the rain and boy did we get a lot of rain I probably look a hot mess like you know the rain didn't kill me it was humidity afterwards I have to say but it you know the rain did damper down our day a little bit we couldn't get everything we wanted to get done so I'm so sorry can't control the weather but we got to make the best of it and I feel like that's what we did tonight I had so much fun I hope but my top three at the number one spot I'm going with dueling dragons I thought it was phenomenal I love dueling dragons the story the production value it was all there and I also love that it was based off of an attraction you know that's so cool that they're doing that number two I'm gonna go yeti I love the yeti honestly like the those scare actors were on point they got me a couple of times and it was fun and number three dr. odd fellow honestly it was such a good it was like the way that they tied it into the backstory you know I mean and then how he was all around in the scare zones like he was like I mean he's the icon this year but like they try to make him like the big bad like the guy that killed Jack and it actually you can see a lot of that inside the house itself and I also liked when they were throwing the knives like the compressed air like I felt like somebody was hit me with something the one that I you know it was okay but I was I was a little like kind of let down with stranger things you know like I really liked it but like when I go back and think about it I was like wow I was like you know it wasn't my favorite like I love stranger things but like a lot of the other houses were just so good the production value and yeah so I think we're just gonna call tonight head home and hopefully edit this video and then on to a new adventure so I hope you enjoyed the video I enjoyed making it I'll see you next time bye
