Into the Scare Zone: A HHN Podcast

🚨 “HELP! They killed mama and papa!”🎙️ Some audio triggers just stick with you! The 8th ranking episode for Season 2 of the #ITSZPodcast is LIVE! Be sure to check out Episode 16 now! JB & Browney discuss a possible HHN leak (doh!), Stranger Things 5 & H.R. Bloodengutz house announcements, then break down Galkn: Monsters of the North from HHN 34! See how it scored using our exclusive ITSZ Ranking System! And in true podcaster fashion, we recorded right as Originals announcement week kicked off. 😅 That means this week’s announcements are getting split across two episodes. The first is here, and the rest are coming next episode. Stay tuned! #Gálkn #HHN #StrangerThings5 #HRBloodengutz 🎧Listen here: sites.libsyn.com/535607

Finally, Cindy gets her moment! 🎪 While a carnival junkyard on Hollywood Blvd. isn’t exactly where we would have guessed Cindy would return, we’re glad the rumors held true and we can definitely grow to love it! We may just be expecting a little fire to bring us back to her roots. 🔥 We’re especially intrigued by the words “resurrect” and “reanimate.” We fully expect the aesthetic to channel Carnival Graveyard: Rust in Pieces from HHN 28, but what we’re really excited to see is how these past horrors return. What twists will Cindy give them? And is it too early to hope for a surprise Cindy stage moment during shift changes? 👀 For us, this is the anniversary scare zone. The only other question is whether we’re getting more Icons here. Caretaker, Usher, Director, Storyteller, Eddie, Chance, and Lady Luck? Or are they focusing more on the original concept houses? We say both! Give us the Icons and Psychoscareapy, Body Collectors, Scarey Tales, Nightingales, Terra Cruentas, Gothic, The Forsaken, The Fallen, Havoc, Scarecrow: The Reaping… and any other forgotten nightmare Cindy wants to bring back into the spotlight. We are so in! #HHN35 📸 credits to HHN Yearbook, Jared Clemons, and HHN Wiki

@ITSZPodcast @HorrorNightsORL @hhn_scott @SpeculationMatt This is the scarezone that never ends .... yes it goes.on and on my friend.some people started creating it now know what it was.. and they keep extending it till it never ends. Cause this is the scarezone that doesnt end. Yes it goes on and on my friends....

So… we all knew Infernal Carnival of Nightmares was coming. 🎪🔥 And thanks to Mike’s latest post, we can probably make an educated guess about where it begins. But here’s what we’re really wondering… How far does this scare zone actually extend? If the Infernal Carnival itself is in Plaza, does it bleed into Hollywood? Does that leave the rumored clown scare zone to take over Hollywood instead of New York? With “Clowny Boy” (or “Blinky,” depending on who you ask) already making an appearance in Hollywood, it’s hard not to wonder if the clowns are next. Or… is this all part of that larger, park wide theme like we figured? If one scare zone is already being referred to as The ICON, and Hollywood is setting the stage for the clowns, we’re really curious to see how the remaining scare zones connect… especially with that stage in New York! This announcement answered one question… and created about ten more. Oh what a great week this will be. 👀

@chainsawghoul We’re kinda hoping the icons are spread across the zones not just the carnival. We like that New York theming.. plus those random stages? Could be a massive set for icons of old to return 😉

if this zone doesn’t have all the icons i might cry. i’m gonna cry either way but if this is THE icon zone and the gang’s all here, it’ll be happy tears

@jake_coasters @HorrorNightsORL @hhn_scott @SpeculationMatt Yea we agree, though a carnival theming seems more prominent than the conservatory was so blending into the scare zones, depending on the properties involved, might be a little more tedious

@ITSZPodcast @HorrorNightsORL @hhn_scott @SpeculationMatt I think it will be similar to how last year tied all the scarezones together with similar feelings The 'carnival' feel would be a part of each zone

@hannibalsbat Haha, one of the fan names for that clown set piece that appeared in Hollywood (the second picture we posted).

@ITSZPodcast i havent been to an hhn with jack yet, who is clowny boy? 💖

@CountdownHhn Not sure they can enforce it. If a TM sees them maybe they can tell them to take them off but if it’s prescription, good luck. We think this is just the way of the future going forward. And truly, what’s 100+ more walkthrough videos of the same house posted online? 🤷🏻‍♂️

So with the rising popularity of Meta glasses, how is Universal Orlando’s “no filming inside the houses unless you’re press/media” rule going to be enforced? People already know how to disable the red ‘recording’ light that’s supposed to be on for stealth recording.

@arodz21 @thecalibae @HNNightmares @HorrorNightsORL @Hallowed_Horror @HorrorNights @Freaks_HHN @mrscarydre We NEED that Xeno.

Some pictures were leaked from an employee event for Spirit Halloween. Grand Opening of their flagship store is August 1st.

@john_murdy @ParkExplorers_ @Cykrolis @HorrorNights If you don’t collect house shirts like so many of us fans do, how do you preserve your memories of each HHN year? What’s your personal keepsake for each event?

@ParkExplorers_ @Cykrolis @HorrorNights Fun fact. I own zero HHN compilation tees.

My lady got me an official HHN 2011 shirt for my bday! My first and favorite year! @john_murdy @HorrorNights

@chainsawghoul What a great find 🤣

so were we ever gonna talk about how 2001 eddie had a soul patch or…

@boyd_samue80192 We’ve heard several people say it’s a Stranger Things tribute. We’re hoping it’s an Icon/Anniversary show though

So the lagoon show is definitely coming back this year, does anyone have any guesses as to what the theming could possibly be for this year?
