Welcome to another episode of the HHN Graveyard Show! In this episode, Josh is joined by Billy (SixBillium) as they prepare to reunite in the flesh for an upcoming trip to Hollywood for Fan Fest Nights. But before they head to the West Coast, they have plenty of recent theme park adventures and Halloween Horror Nights nostalgia to discuss.
On this show, we dive deep into Billy’s recent trip to Florida, where he scored some incredible vintage HHN props and merchandise at the Lakeland Antique Mall. Josh shares his firsthand experience at the Horror Unleashed experience in Las Vegas, recounting the wild "Feaster Grievings" event and his success in their interactive golden egg hunt. We also introduce a brand-new game format—the HHN Haunt Draft—where we pit Jack the Clown against Dr. Oddfellow to build the ultimate three-house lineup. Finally, we cap things off with a retrospective review of HHN 25, looking back at the highs and lows of the 2015 anniversary year.
Join us as we explore the treasures hidden in Florida antique malls, critique the interactive elements of Las Vegas' newest horror experience, and geek out over a nostalgic recap of the HHN 25 event from over a decade ago.
Topics Discussed
- Our Recent HHN Related Adventures: Billy details his recent visit to this Florida antique mall packed with Universal and Disney theme park history. He shows off his new pickups, including a 2010 "20 Years of Fear" ticket standee, a signed Tribute to Terror comic book from 2023, and a killer Depths of Fear print. Josh breaks down his recent trip to Las Vegas for the Horror Unleashed "Feaster Grievings" event. He describes the interactive golden Easter egg hunt through the warehouse, his Jack keychain prize, and encounters with the terrifying Feaster Bunny.
- The Jack vs. Oddfellow Haunt Draft: We introduce our new snake-draft game! Josh and Billy take turns drafting their ultimate three-house lineups centered around the chaotic lore of Jack the Clown and Dr. Oddfellow. Hear our arguments for drafting houses like Dr. Oddfellow's Twisted Origins, PsychoScareapy: Maximum Madness, Horror Night Nightmares, and a surprise 3D pick from Universal Studios Singapore.
- HHN 25 Recap: We take a trip back to 2015 to dissect Halloween Horror Nights 25. We share our candid thoughts on the 25th-anniversary event, discussing why it felt like a mixed bag, the somewhat "Marvelized" or corporate shifts in the event's tone, and how it set the stage for the modern era of HHN.
