00:00:07.480 --> 00:00:10.279
Coming up your weekly roundup of news from around the

2
00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:17.440
haunt industry. Welcome to the show. I'm Philip on the

3
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:21.239
HN Show. We bring you the haunt news, information, and

4
00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:24.839
education you need to prepare for Halloween. On Tuesdays, we

00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:28.359
bring you a roundup of news from haunts worldwide. Read

more about these stories and so much more in our

7
00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:34.280
free weekly newsletter. Subscribe at the link in the show notes,

8
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:37.399
and as always for the news roundup, I'm passing it off.

9
00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:40.600
To Darryl Haunts Nationwide. We'll open for the first off

10
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:43.399
season events of the new year with Friday the thirteenth

11
00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:47.560
and Valentine's Day offerings. Operating dates range from February sixth

12
00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:51.240
through February twenty first, suggesting some Haunted hoses will try

13
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:53.799
to extend the holiday. Keep on listening to hear our

14
00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:56.960
full list of over one hundred haunts. Queen Mary's Dark

15
00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:01.759
Harbor launches the Dark Masquerade Valentine's Event. Thirteenth Floor Entertainment

16
00:01:01.799 --> 00:01:05.519
Group is extending the Dark Harbor brand beyond Helloween with

17
00:01:05.799 --> 00:01:10.200
Dark Masqarade, a new Valentine's Day weekend event, debuting February

18
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:14.359
thirteenth and fourteenth aboard the Queen Mary in Long Beach, California.

19
00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:18.519
Unlike Dark Harbor's Fall season, Dark Masquerade is designed as

20
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:22.760
an after hours immersive takeover of the ship, replacing traditional

21
00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:27.760
mazes with story driven encounters, character interaction, music, and social spaces.

22
00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:30.840
According to thirteenth Floor, the event is intended to deepen

23
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:35.480
engagement with Dark Harbor's established characters and lore. Dark Masquerade

24
00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:37.920
gives our fans the chance to dive further into the

25
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:41.359
world of Dark Harbor than ever before, said Brett Bertolino,

26
00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:44.799
director of Special Project. This all new, immersive, story driven

27
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:48.480
experience expands the lore of our legendary icons through intimate

28
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:52.319
scenes and unexpected encounters, and offers a chilling glimpse of

29
00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:55.239
what awaits this fall aboard the Queen Mary. The event

30
00:01:55.319 --> 00:01:58.640
includes multiple experiences spread throughout the ship, such as a

31
00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:03.519
masquerade dance party hosted by Dark Harbor Icons, guided exploration

32
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:07.200
of rarely accessed areas of the vessel, and interactive scenes

33
00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:10.319
that encourage guests to linger and engage rather than push

34
00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:13.240
from point to point. Rather than rush from point to point,

35
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:18.199
vip admission adds an exclusive proximity based experience that emphasizes

36
00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:23.120
physical closeness, darkness and narrative tension. Dark Massquerade reflects a

37
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:26.800
broader shift of off season Haunt programming towards immersive social

38
00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:30.960
formats that feel distracted from October operations, rather than reskinning

39
00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:35.560
existing mazes. Thirteenth Floor is using Valentine's weekend to experiment

40
00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:40.319
with character forward storytelling, premium upgrades, and nightlife inflected design,

41
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:43.280
positioning the event as both a date night experience and

42
00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:46.159
a deeper extension of the Dark Harbor brand. To learn

43

more and sign up for early ticket access, go to

44
00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:51.960
the event's official website. Tickets will start at fifty nine

45
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:55.439
dollars plus fees. This event is for attendees aged twenty

46
00:02:55.439 --> 00:02:58.319
one and older. The Cinema of Horrors brings back the

47
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:02.120
Hearts of Horror Valentine's event. Cinema of Horrors and Kelso

48
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:05.800
Washington is returning with Hearts of Horror, a Valentine's Day

49
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:09.400
blackout event that sends guests through four haunted houses using

50
00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:12.840
only a single candle for light. The limited run experience

51
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:16.800
takes place February thirteenth and fourteenth inside the attraction's former

52
00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:20.199
movie theater and continues to outperform some of the haunts

53
00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:23.680
others off season offerings, including its Christmas event. In an

54
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:27.360
interview with a Haunted Attraction Network President and creative director,

55
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:30.680
Brandon Treadway pointed to the building itself as the foundation

56
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:33.879
of the experience. The building is super thematic. It is

57
00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:36.840
an old regal movie theater, he said. We've got all

58
00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:39.840
the sloped floors, which really add to the experience as

59
00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:42.560
you walk through the attractions, especially once you combine it

60
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:44.439
with fog and all the lights and all that kind

61
00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:47.240
of stuff. By turning off the lights rather than rebuilding

62
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:50.080
the attraction, Hearts of Horror gives repeat guests a new

63
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:53.439
way to experience the space, and according to Treadway, it

64
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:56.879
does better than Christmas without requiring our major off season

65
00:03:56.919 --> 00:04:00.000
build out. Discounted admissions for thirty dollars and ninety six

66
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:04.280

Tokyo Disney Resort The Villains Helloween Into the Frenzy Parade.

77
00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:47.439
This category honors excellence and innovation in a production that

78
00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:51.319
features exceptional entertainment value with a Helloween or Haunt theme,

79
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:56.639
including Haunted houses, Maze's atmospheric and interactive entertainment, stage shows,

80
00:04:56.759 --> 00:05:00.639
haunting grounds, and more. Performances will be judged on careization,

81
00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:04.480
physical appearance and support for the performance, creative show content,

82
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:08.480
overall production value, and audience engagement. Winners who will be

83
00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:12.879
celebrated at IAPPA Honors May twelfth through fourteenth. In ex

84
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:17.720
Carey Mexico, Universal's Fan Fast Nights doubles down on core fans.

85
00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:21.639
Universal's Fan Fast Nights returns to Universal Studios Hollywood and

86
00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:25.720
Universal City, California for twelve select nights April twenty three

87
00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:29.639
through May sixteenth, offering immersive walkthrough experiences, themed shows, and

88
00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:33.680
IP activations across the Park twenty twenty six lineup includes

89
00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:38.040
four new experiences, Scooby Doo Meets the Universal Monsters, Mystery

90
00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:40.839
on the Backlot, replacing last year's Back to the Future

91
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:45.079
Backlot experience, one Piece Grand Pirate Show, a full scale

92
00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:48.079
live show at the water World venue, upgrading from last

93
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:51.480
year's character Meet and Greet, a Forbidden Forest walkthrough in

94
00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:55.399
the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, and Colorful Yoshi Celebration

95
00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:59.319
in Super Nintendo World. Dungeons and Dragons. Secrets of Water

96
00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:03.000
Deep also returns by popular demand. The twenty twenty six

97
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:07.319
lineup suggests a shift towards concentrating on Universal's core fandoms,

98
00:06:07.399 --> 00:06:11.360
the smaller but deliberate emphasis on new audiences through one piece,

99
00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:16.519
rather than spreading investment across multiple unproven fandoms. Universal appears

100
00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:20.680
to be prioritizing depth over breadth, focusing on known demand

101
00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:24.680
of core Universal fandoms such as Universal Monsters and Harry Potter,

102
00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:28.879
while selectively layering on communities such as anime and cosplay

103
00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:34.240
where crossover potential already exists. Universal's twenty twenty six adjustments

104
00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:37.399
suggest that fanfast Nights could spark a new renaissance in

105
00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:41.319
spring hard ticket events industrywide, if you focus on what

106
00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:44.480
you already do well, with a little bit of experimentation

107
00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:47.519
mixed in. According to an article by mart CV for

108
00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:51.839
Licensing International, despite Halloween falling on a Saturday this year,

109
00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:55.439
Halloween retailers only expect a slight increase in business in

110
00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:58.120
twenty twenty six. Companies have had a year to adjust

111
00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:00.680
to tariffs, which have ranged between the thirty one hundred

112
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:03.720
and forty five percent, but suppliers are unsure if ordering

113
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:06.759
will return to pre tariff levels. The general pulse of

114
00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:09.399
the industry was felt in this year's Halloween and Party

115
00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:12.480
Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada, which offered a glimpse of

116
00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:15.879
potential trends for this Halloween season. We've seen growth and

117
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:19.480
easy to wear, affordable costumes, along with replica and cosplay

118
00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:23.839
level of products, said Mark Vanolan, brand licensing manager at Ruby's.

119
00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:27.519
Costume trends showed a broadening of licensed brands with a

120
00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:31.800
focus on nostalgia and horror film Rubies showcased costumes based

121
00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:34.800
on classic Hasbro and Mattel toys and games, while Trick

122
00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:39.399
Retreat Studios debuted costumes inspired by Stanley Cubrick's a clockwork,

123
00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:43.279
Orange rob Zombies, House of a Thousand Corpses, and Netflix

124
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:46.000
Stranger Things. Between all of the new costumes and more

125
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:50.360
expensive outdoor animatronic figures, Some executives are optimistic as slight

126
00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:53.759
upturn in business is on the horizon. However, they believe

127
00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:56.160
will not be as much as normally would be. Some

128
00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:59.759
behavior is changed with delayed buying, holding onto wallets, and

129
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:02.959
or mindful spending by the consumers. There may be a

130
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:06.000
decrease in daycorse spending because people feel they have to

131
00:08:06.040 --> 00:08:09.439
cut it somewhere, a licensing executive said, but the Halloween

132
00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:13.519
business feels recession proof. Slasher's Ax Throwing in Ales to

133
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:18.040
host three Valentines Weekend events. Slasher's Ax Throwing in Ales
