Halloween is having a moment, and Universal is here for it. Comcast announced it will split into two companies, with the entertainment half, NBCUniversal, anchored by its growing theme parks division. Since Comcast has made horror a central part of its brand, Halloween is about to become a much more visible story on earnings calls, and a higher bar for HHN and Horror Unleashed to clear. That dovetails with everything else Universal announced this week, from four new HHN Orlando houses to a Resident Evil takeover in Las Vegas. We also look at Michaels betting big on Halloween nostalgia, and what that might say about the consumer.In this issue:- Comcast to Spin Off NBCUniversal Around Universal's Theme Parks- Halloween Horror Nights Orlando Announces Remaining Original Houses- Resident Evil Takeover Soft-Launches at Universal Horror Unleashed Las Vegas- Michaels Bets on Nostalgia With Six 2026 Halloween Décor Collections- House of Horror Haunted Carnival Moves to Tropical Park- IAAPA Expo 2026 Registration Opens, Haunting Grounds Moves to West Building- Run Your Own Dark Ride with "Scream Operator: Haunted House Manager" GameRead the stories here

This week we are joined by a very special guest: Ryan from Fortheloveofthemeparks! Ryan should be your go to page for all things theme park history, so we figured it was only right to dive into some Halloween Horror Nights history with him! In the past we've covered the legendary HHN Icons, but since then we've gotten plenty of new characters along the way. Some that fans may not know as well, and others that have been almost completely forgotten over time. This week we're digging into the overlooked, forgotten, and underrated characters of HHN history and giving them the spotlight they deserve. Also we made a MAJOR announcement for an upcoming event in August so this is NOT the episode to miss!

Last week I attended IAAPA Honors, and my biggest takeaway was something I saw last year: F&B as narrative. From LA Haunted Hayride's Cider Mill to Scarehouse Windsor's dinner experiences, the expansion of food carts at HHN, and all the haunts with hidden bars, we're seeing more haunts weaving food into the story. Guests are buying experiences from us, and food has to be part of that, not separate from it. Also this week: United Parks posted a rough Q1 while peer parks grew, and the next Sphere is heading to Yas Island.In this issue:F&B as Narrative: What I Saw at IAAPA HonorsUnited Parks' Dismal Q1The Next Sphere Is Going to Yas IslandDerry Halloween to Adopt New Partner-Led ApproachFirst Look at Midwest Haunters Convention Exhibitor ListHaunters Toolbox: Inhuman Resources Hiring Sessionhttps://mailchi.mp/hauntedattractionnetwork.com/why-haunts-are-weaving-food-into-the-story
