00:00:07.480 --> 00:00:10.279

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

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 --> 00:00:37.039
and as always for the news roundup, I'm passing it

9
00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:39.079
off to Darryl Universal.

10
00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:42.840
Horror Unleashed, a year round Haunted attraction is now open

11
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:46.039
at Area fifteen in Las Vegas, and the Haunted Attraction

12
00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:48.840
Network was among the first to visit. The first of

13
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:52.840
its kind venue features four haunted houses, four immersive zones,

14
00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:56.359
themed dining, and the return of fan favorite icon Jack

15
00:00:56.439 --> 00:01:01.000
the Clown. But unlike Halloween Horror Nights quick hits the thrills,

16
00:01:01.119 --> 00:01:06.040
Horror Unleashed encourages lingering, chatting with street characters, grabbing and drink,

17
00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:09.120
and watching the action unfold around you. At HHN the

18
00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:12.079
pace is relentless. You queue, you walk, you scream, you exit,

19
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:14.319
but here you can take your time. The style of

20
00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:18.280
entertainment is mostly horror events, is momentary, said TJ. Marinarow,

21
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:21.439
VP of Entertainment, Art and Design. Here you can stay

22
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:23.640
as long as you want, get to know the characters,

23
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:26.560
and watch their stories unfold. Follow the links in our

24
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:29.200
show notes to view the complete guide to the attraction.

25
00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:32.640
Philip Fernandez of The Haunted Attraction Network also wrote a

26
00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:37.159
review of the Universal Horror Unleashed for Attractions Magazine. His sake,

27
00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:40.079
if you love Halloween horror nights, this is your home

28
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:43.599
away from HHN home. Its vibes over rides with the

29
00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:47.280
same production value, lighting, sound, and sets Universal is known for,

30
00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:49.760
but with the luxury of time, you can linger in

31
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:52.719
the haunts, chat with characters, and enjoy the atmosphere That

32
00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:56.359
said scares lean heavily on the live actors and jump scares.

33
00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:59.439
You won't find the elaborate animatronics or puppet effects of

34
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:03.159
wild ah crowds in past years. Hardcore Haunt travelers may

35
00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:06.879
find that the set's beautiful, but the scare tactics are repetitive,

36
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:10.639
especially given the sixty nine dollars starting ticket price comparable

37
00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:13.800
to HHN Hollywood, which offers more houses and rides but

38
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:17.240
only run seasonally. Ultimately, whether it's worth it depends on

39
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:20.879
your proximity, your appetite for the HHN style, and the

40
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:24.800
appeal of the year round horror hangout for HHN superstars.

41
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:28.560
It's a haven for casual visitors. It's a polished, immersive

42
00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:32.199
horror experience. Just know you're paying for the atmosphere and access,

43
00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:35.639
not a marathon of different scares. Tickets for a Universal

44
00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:39.080
Horror Unleashed or on sale now on their official website.

45
00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:44.319
Midnight Syndicate composed an original horror score for Universal Horror Unleashed.

46
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:48.280
Gothic Horror and Haunt music composers Midnight Syndicate have written

47
00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:52.360
an original score for Universal Horror Unleashed in Las Vegas, Nevada.

48
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:56.680
The score is Midnight Syndicate's latest collaboration with Universal Entertainment.

49
00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:00.360
They have collaborated with Universal since nineteen ninety nine, when

50
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:04.280
the band's music first appeared at Universal Orlando's Halloween Horror Night.

51
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:06.599
It's an honor to be part of this next exciting

52
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:11.000
chapter in Universal's legacy of horror entertainment, said composer Edward Douglas.

53
00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:15.319
Universal Horror Unleashed marks Midnight Syndicate's first custom score for

54
00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:18.960
an attraction, conveying an imaginary scene through music is something

55
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:21.680
we've been doing since the beginning of Midnight Syndicate, but

56
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:25.479
capturing someone else's vision for a project always presents a

57
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:30.120
uniquely exciting set of challenges, said Gavin Coska. Douglas added well,

58
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:33.159
writing for Universal Horror Unleashed was more akin to writing

59
00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:36.479
a Midnight Syndicate album than scoring a film. We needed

60
00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:39.000
to keep in mind that, like a film score, music

61
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:41.319
was just one of the cogs in the machine and

62
00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:45.439
needed to seamlessly elevate many elements guests will be experiencing.

63
00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:49.840
Universal is creating a truly immersive horror experience with Universal

64
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:52.840
Horror Unleashed, where we think horror fans are really going

65
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:56.520
to enjoy losing themselves. Explore the Massive Hall of Shadows

66
00:03:56.560 --> 00:04:00.000

five panel at Midsummer Scream delivered an in depth look

83
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:08.279
at this year's Terrifier haunted houses, but two unexpected design

84
00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:12.079
choices stood out. Most guests in Orlando could choose between

85
00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:15.120
a dry path or a symphony of blood and art.

86
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:18.439
The Clown will be stalking guests throughout the entire event space,

87
00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:23.160
even outside the maze. It's like Where's Waldo but it's art,

88
00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:27.720
said HHN Orlando's senior director of Creative Development, Michael Io.

89
00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:30.680
He might be in a store, but he could be anywhere.

90
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:34.240
You'll encounter him when you least expect it. Both coasts

91
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:37.879
will feature these stealthy encounters, with Io conferring that even

92
00:05:37.959 --> 00:05:42.360
the Rip Lounge is not safe. Meanwhile, Orlando's finale for

93
00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:45.800
Terrifier ops the ante with an immersive split path design.

94
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:49.120
Guests cannot for a dry walk through or lean into

95
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:52.680
the horror by choosing this symphony of blood, which culminates

96
00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:56.439
in a full drenching under a blood waterfall as art

97
00:05:56.439 --> 00:05:59.680
looms from above. We're not kidding, said Io. This is

00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:36.120
invite only experience, Maestro's Masquerade Ball, allowing a select few

140
00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:38.960

141
00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:41.679
This event will invite guests into areas of the house

142
00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:44.799
that have never been part of the Halloween activation before.

143

Magic of the Jack of Lanterns will now be at

144

00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:54.039
The new location will allow them to double the size

146
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:56.639
of the event. If you came to Wittier Narrows last

147
00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:59.000
year and saw the show, you probably know that we

148
00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:01.919
have a lot of hand carved pumpkins, all different themes,

149
00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:04.039
said Holloman. But now you're going to take that and

150
00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:07.399
walk past these beautiful plants, and there's this display hidden

151
00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:10.679
amongst the trees. So we really think this will feel immersive.

152
00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:14.559
Six Flags Magic Mountain unveils a new maze, scare zones,

153
00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:17.720

155
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:25.320

00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:31.000

158
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:34.000
Carnage introduces guests to a city that's come under siege

159
00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:36.639
by clowns on the night of the City Centennial. The

160
00:09:36.679 --> 00:09:39.519
Maze creates an origin story in the scare Zone City

161
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:42.639
under Siege, and guests will have the opportunity to become

162
00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:45.519

210
00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:33.559
sparking backlash from fans who see it as a bait

211
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:37.480
and switch. In this week's episode of the Green Tag Podcast,

212
00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:40.480
Philip and Scott debate whether the new pricing model is

213
00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:44.399
a necessary step forward towards higher quality haunts, or a

214
00:12:44.440 --> 00:12:47.799
misstep that a roads trust. It appears that six Flags

215
00:12:47.840 --> 00:12:50.679
is moving into the separately ticketed model of not Scary

216
00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:53.519
Farm instead of the mix in model of legacy cedar

217
00:12:53.559 --> 00:12:57.159
fair parks. But as six Flags attempts to unify its

218
00:12:57.159 --> 00:13:01.000
Halloween portfolio, we'll guess pay for what they once got free.

219
00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:04.320
And while a company is still bleeding cash, where will

220
00:13:04.360 --> 00:13:06.799
the capitol come from to bring up the quality of

221
00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:11.200
the Halloween events? Hollywood franchises come to fright Fest. Six
