Halloween Horror Nights 29: Let’s Get Totally Spooky

I have yet to make mention of Halloween Horror Nights once on this blog in 2019 and I feel like I deserve some kind of medal for that. Or not. I’m not sure how medals work. This isn’t a Halloween Horror Nights blog though I’m sure sometimes it feels that way, especially since it’s the

51 days and counting until opening night of Halloween Horror Nights 28. But who’s counting? There have been a couple of new announcements since I last update about the event!

Let me just get one thing out of the way real quick: Now that’s out of the way. In lieu of a Transformation Tuesday post, I’m using today to talk about the latest announcement out of Halloween Horror Nights. It looks like I need to get caught up on Stranger Things because, as of this

Somebody Once Told Me the World Was Gonna Roll Me

The theme of this past week seems to be “hurry the hell up and wait” which has been the most irritating thing in the entire world. First, let’s talk about that countdown that was going on over at the Halloween Horror Nights web site. A few weeks ago, the HHN web site announced its soul

What Are We Going To Do About Danny?

With just 74 agony-filled days sitting between me and the opening of Halloween Horror Nights. Seriously. This is torture. To make things worse- it feels like announcements about the event are moving at a snail’s pace. Granted- I have never paid this much attention before.
