The Horror Nerds 2026 Halloween Special is here! Looking back at the last 10 years of Horror Nights, Undead Ed and Al, the Master of the Macbre, reveal their picks for the best of Universal Studios Hollywood's Halloween Horror Nights - the best mazes, the best IPs, the best terror trams, the best years, and, because they just can't stop giving you content, the worst maze as a free bonus. Expect to hear from all the Titans of Terror: Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, Leatherface, Chucky, and... Krampus? Some of these picks need to be heard to be believed; but if your hosts can't find harmony in the past, will they be able to find common ground when discussing what Universal needs to bring to Horror Nights in the last ten years? And, if that's not enough, they're also divulging their top secret Top Nerd Tips to teach you how to hit Horror Nights like a pro. Happy Halloween!

The Nerd are BACK again, still marinating in the sweet sweet fog of a new season of Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood. But why waste time with a full episode review when a simple sentence will do? Simply put, if you don't know if you should stay home or hit the park: GO.

After gushing about what may be the greatest Horror Nights Hollywood has ever seen, Undead Ed and Al, the Master of the Macbre, set their sights on a more challenging task - determining the best and worst of all the houses this year! And with no stinkers this year, and a heavy three one-two-three punch vying for the coveted Best House Crown, you know there's bound to be surprises along the way.

Will Sinner's adaptation of the seminal award winner give it the boost it needs? Can Killceneara: Music by Slash ride it's soundtrack to glory, or will the repeated Monstrous characters drag it down? Will the nerds be entranced by the gory sights Hellraiser has to show us? Can Evil Dead Burn live up the legacy of the Necronomicon? Will Art the Clown's Terror Tram be a holiday to remember or is Christmas coming too early? Is Dead, Deader, Deadest Good, Better, or the Best? Can Stranger Things 5 leave us in bittersweat Purple Rain? Can Killer Klownz from Outer Space take the title of Horror Nights GOATs on their third appearance? And, last but not least, will Ozzy Osborne go from the Prince of Darkness to the King of Horror Nights? What are you waiting for - hit play and find out!

The Horror Nerds are back from Midsummer Scream, barrelling home on the Horror Nights Crazy Train, and they've brought with them a bevy of announcements! To begin, they analyze a quartet of previously announced houses - the tribute to the madman of heavy metal himself with Ozzy Osborne: Prince of Darkness; the twisted world of the necronomicon heating up with Evil Dead Burn; a carnival that's out of this world in Killer Klownz from Outer Space; and a visit to the Deville Family Funeral Home, where guests can apply to join the residents in the original maze Dead, Deader, Deadest. Not content to leave you without the latest updates, Undead Ed drops in to recap the news from the Horror Nights Midsummer Scream panel - the return of Art the Clown as he terrorizes the Terror Tram, this time showcasing his own brutal version of the Chrsitmas season, with Ice Nine Kills supporting with their own brutal twists on classic Christmas Carols. and a new twist on the Latin American horror maze as Horror Nights prepares to help celebrate a KILLceañera, with Slash dropping by to provide the music. If that's not enough, we've got scarezones - El Circo de la Muerte, the Blood Bog, Hackerz, Murder of Crowz, Shriek of the Banshee, the Death Eaters returning to Hogsmeade, Purge: Dangerous Waters taking up its residency in the Waterworld Theater, and even Fortnite dropping in with a new Fortnite-mares Scare Zone! Oh, and if you're at horror nights this year, you might want to keep an eye out not only for the return of a roaming Art the Clown, but for the newest Horror Icon as Nikki from Obsession joins the carnage... It's all here, folks!
