It's finally here! The Nerds have hit Universal Studios Hollywood's Halloween Horror Nights event for 2024 - and they have a lot to say about it. What mazes surprised us - in good ways or in bad ways? What IPs delivered, and which ones should have stayed at home? Was the Leatherface Family BBQ as good as it was 4 years ago? And did we really need more Purge? You have questions, and in this extra long episode, the Nerds have answers. Undead Ed and his Zombie Super Soldier Assistant, Alvaro, give you spoiler free impressions of every maze for those still deciding whether or not to go, then dive deep into the analysis of every maze, show, and even a scarezone or two to show you what had them screaming with delight and what had them running for the exits. This is the big one - don't miss it!

After a year of speculation, everything for Universal Studios Hollywood's Halloween Horror Nights has finally been announced - and with the event starting this weekend, the Nerds are just in time to deliver you one final preview. Are Ghostbusters, the Weeknd, Insidious, and Texas Chainsaw Massacre big enough IPs to headline the event? Could an original maze obtain the coveted Maze of the Year title? Is Late Night with Chucky a good idea or a great idea? Not content to merely cover the attractions on offer this year, the Nerds go a step further and examine the different themed dining options available in the park - and, in a very special segment, open the Nerd Knowledge Bank to share their exclusive tips and tricks to make sure your Horror Nights experience is the best it can be!

The Nerd return with an extra long episode to recap an epic week of announcements! After attending the Midsummer Scream Convention, we have thoughts on the upcoming slate of Southern California pro haunts. Is the addition of new scare zones going to be enough to lift an uninspiring slate of IP houses at Horror Nights? Is the Legacy of Leatherface a must see attraction, or another retread of past gories? Is going all female for Universal Monsters: Eternal Bloodlines injecting fresh ideas into old IP, or is it a new coat of paint on the same old thing? And with Universal resting on their laurals, do Knott's Scary Farm and Six Flag's Fright Fest Extreme have a shot at the king this year? You'll have to listen to find out!
