Nick's ERT #107- Serena Screams for Horror Nights

Nick is joined by Serena from CoasterForce for a passionate deep dive into the legendary Halloween event Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Florida. A huge fan of the event, Serena shares what makes Halloween Horror Nights so special – from the immersive storytelling to the unforgettable haunted houses that have defined the event over the years. Together, Nick and Serena count down some of their favourite houses, the ones they'd love to see created in the future, and even a few they hope never return. They also talk about the houses they regret missing and the legends of the event that have become part of Horror Nights folklore. The conversation also explores how video game properties are increasingly influencing the event's haunted houses, and what that might mean for the future of Horror Nights. Finally, Nick and Serena look ahead to the arrival of Universal Studios Great Britain, discussing how Halloween Horror Nights could evolve when it eventually reaches the UK – and how the event might need to adapt for British audiences when the park is expected to open in Bedford in 2031. A must-listen for Halloween Horror Nights fans, theme park enthusiasts, and anyone curious about the future of immersive seasonal events.
