Enjoyed our review of this year’s Halloween Horror Nights event at Universal Studios Orlando? Well, given the rain on opening night, we weren’t able to get a ton of photos of the themeing around the park. We’ve rectified that today with a brief photo update of the goodies you’ll see as you walk around the […]
Fall is here! You know what that means…PAULOWEEN SEASON has begun! Paul is clearly excited, and we’ve already begun our Pauloween coverage, with more on the way. And while Paul is excited about ghosts and goblins, Tim is psyched because he’s kicking all kindsa ass in the Funnybooks Fantasy Football League. Meanwhile, Paul’s obsessed with […]
It was a dark and stormy night….literally… For those following along, you’ll recall that yours truly was filling in for our faithful host for this year’s Pauloween event. I last visited Universal on Halloween Horror Nights Media Day, during which I was able to speak with some of the event’s creative team and get a […]
Pauloween 2012 is here! We kick off our festivities with an article from new site contributor Kyle, who was able to attend the Halloween Horror Nights Media Day in Orlando, FL yesterday. Tons of great info and pics from this year’s event below! It’s that time of year again, when for some, the thought of […]
It’s been five years since children the world over turned on their parents, devouring their nurturers. They are predators our children. Cunning. Deadly. It’s been five years since the dead started walking. AND A LITTLE CHILD SHALL EAT THEM is an actual play recording made at Fear the Con 5. This is the FIFTH installment […]
Over the weekend, I had the opportunity to go see Prometheus in Imax 3D. It was a friend’s birthday, and this was his choice of celebratory entertainment. I had seen previews for the movie previously but had not been aware of the controversy of whether or not this was an alien prequel. The trailers had […]

It boggles my mind that there are websites that will give the recent The Thing prequel a negative review for repeating the beats of the John Carpenter original, but will give Paranormal Activity 3 a positive review. Now don’t get me wrong, Paranormal 3 brings a good amount of scares and jumps, and is mostly successful, but the movie […]
You know what they say? Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Never have those words been more true then in the case of Busch Gardens Tampa’s Howl-O-Scream. I don’t mean to be harsh, but I’ve never been a big proponent of recycling haunted houses. Recycling items in those houses, sure. I understand that there needs […]
This year, Universal is going to back to basics, primarily going with original concepts (save for one house based on the upcoming prequel to The Thing), including the event’s icon, Lady Luck. For those avoiding any specific details on the event, I’ll briefly summarize by saying that, while I wasn’t overly impressed with the scarezones this year (more detail on that after the jump), the houses this year were absolutely amazing in theming. Universal stepped up their game this year and created some truly memorable, exciting experiences that will impress you while trying to scare you. Definitely worth the price of admission, some of the houses are truly awe-inspiring. I highly recommend checking out the event this year. I do want to note, however, that due to the popularity of the event, I’d also recommend finding some way to attend more than once. One trip will leave you sorely missing out on some of the event.
