    Jul 21 2024

    The hosts of the RIP Tour Podcast discuss how they met and became friends. They also review the recent Halloween Horror Nights (HHN) announcements, starting with the Torture Fair scare zone. The hosts express their excitement for the unique theme of the zone and speculate on what it might include, such as jousting and a tavern. They appreciate the individual announcement for the scare zone and discuss the importance of scare zones in creating the HHN experience. The conversation covers the announcements of two scare zones and a show for Halloween Horror Nights. The first scare zone, 'Crypt TV', is based on the horror content brand and will feature characters from their popular series. The second scare zone, 'Swamp of the Undead', is set in Backwaters, Louisiana, and will immerse guests in a swamp filled with zombies. The show announced is 'Nightmare Fuel Nocturnal Circus', a dark circus-themed performance with pyrotechnics and aerialists. The hosts discuss their thoughts on the announcements and speculate on future announcements.
