Fear and Beer: A Halloween Horror Nights Podcast

The grand finale! The hype lists are here!
Opening day is finally upon us, and we’re capping off the One Week Until HHN Podathon with the episode everyone waits for all year.
Where does each house, zone, and show fall in our rankings? Tune in to find out!
Thank you all for riding with us through Podathon week.
We’ll see you in the fog!

The HHN menus just dropped, and we’re serving up all the tasty (and terrifying) details!
 
From spaghetti pizza to a freakishly long corn dog, we’re dishing on the snacks and sips you’ll want to sink your teeth into this year!

Two worlds collide; Horror and Wrestling!
Nick sits down with Ryzin, a pro wrestler who has lived and breathed horror personas throughout his career. We dive into the history of horror in wrestling, how it works (and struggles) in today’s climate, and even how it could fit right into HHN.
 
Big thanks to Ryzin for joining the Podathon to give us a first hand experience in both of these worlds!

The one where we get in trouble… kind of. 😈
This fan-favorite episode is where we let loose and throw out our hottest takes. Did we just trash your favorite house? Maybe. Are we sorry about it? Absolutely not.

It’s back! The annual HHN Fantasy Draft! 
Each of us will draft a full event lineup:
10 Houses
5 Scare Zones
1 Show
2 Icons
But here’s the twist—once something is picked, it’s off the board. Meaning if you’re last, you might get stuck with something you didn’t want!
The chaos is real, and it’s glorious.
Huge thanks to all our amazing guests for joining this year’s draft:

This is YOUR show!
We open the phone lines, sit back, and let you take the reins. What do we talk about? Honestly… we won’t know until you call!

It’s finally here! The kickoff to the One Week To HHN Podathon! 
In our first episode we break down every single house, theorizing what the facades might look like, the must-have rooms, and what overall style each house could bring to the event.

Small town America meets slasher mayhem in Clown in a Cornfield, Adam Cesare’s brutal and bloody love letter to classic horror.
When Quinn Maybrook moves to the quiet town of Kettle Springs, she discovers that beneath the cornfields and friendly smiles lies a community divided and a sinister clown mascot ready to paint the stalks red.
This modern slasher blends old-school brutality with social commentary, delivering relentless kills, a masked villain for the ages, and enough carnage to satisfy any gorehound. If you’re a fan of Halloween or Scream, this is one you won’t want to miss.

The streets are coming alive as Halloween Horror Nights 2025 draws closer!
In this episode, we take you on a full park walk-through, breaking down the latest props, set pieces, and how they might tie into each scare zone’s story.
We’ve also spotted the first two food booths of the season, so naturally, we dive into our best (and wildest) guesses for what Food & Drink items might be on the menu this year.
Stick around until the end as we preview our One Week Until HHN Podathon, sharing all the details on what’s happening next week in place of our regular episode!
