Mickeys Not so Scary Haloween Party 2024

WELLLLLLLLL

I cant wait to talk about this one. I will get all the bad out of the way before i move forward to something else. I can't stand bad things to say about Disney but their are a few bad eggs no matter where you go. 

Here it was .....well it is pretty much the same exact show in its entirely. I saw the same skits last time i went.

That was it...that was the only bad thing. I had so much fun here. I love the shows even thought they were the same . I loved the parades even though they were the same , i loved the fireworks even though it was kind of the same something seemed different but i am unsure what it was. All of them still brought me joy and i would watch all the time if i could. They place is always decorated in the cutest spooky way and i love seeing the characters dress up for Haloween. My favorite thing about it is it is centered around the villains which i just so happen to love most of the villains. 

They had the teddy from Nightmare before Christmas popcorn buckets ( sadly they were sold out before i could get one. I ended up with the mickey and im not mad about that. ) I loved the Winifred Minnie mouse sipper even though i didn't get one. I did however go to eat at Be our Guest Resturant and i am so flippin happy with that place. They put us in the West wing and oh my god it was so cute ( videos coming soon ). They had the picture that changed from slashed Adam to slashed Beast, the Rose and Beast come and visits you in there as well. It has a cool thunder and lightening show in there as well. Here is a tip watch the picture at the big thunder and lightning and you will see a change in his face. Anyways the food was so good and tasty. OH MY GOD beautifully put together and we got some beautiful chalices that lit up. It was so perfect. Very pricey but hey its vacation. Then i went and rode Tron Legacy ride and that was so fun and unexpectedly thrilling for a disney ride. I didnt get to ride  the Tiana ride but i saw it and it looked so cute and pretty fun too. That night felt magical and just erased every bad moment i have eer had there previously. Mikey and i  were just in such bliss the whole time. 

I will have a video of it all on my you tube soon and i hope you enjoy it !!! I hope you take the time to go see the shows and parades when you are there. They really are so cute.

Halloween Horror Nights Orlando 2024 Review

 Ok So we bought the stay and scream passes so we could get in early and then be some of the first people to get into lines for the haunted houses because well....thats why i was there to be honest. They lined us up at 3 and started letting us into the lines for the zones around 4. So we waited in line to go to the New York zone were Insidious, Frozen Empire, A Quiet Place and so forth ( the ones we really wanted to do first) were at .  So we got in just to get into a different line which was more like a preline for the the haunted houses. We waited there for over an hour. Then they let us in and we went to Insidious and waited in line there for over an hour as well....it was alot of waiting and I wish i could say it was worth the wait but sadly it wasnt..for us anyways. It was so dark in there that i couldnt see what was in front of me in the slightest and i fell over something while walking incredibly slow so it wasnt me being reckless lol. The scares were lackluster, and i could have thought of 101 ways that it could have actually scared someone who has a high scare tolerance such as myself lol. The best part and the only part i got giddy about was walking through the red door. I bet the decorations were great i am just sad to have not been able to see them in the slightest. Maybe they could have had lanterns through out the place so you could see a bit better. Then we left and went to the Frozen Empire and waited for about 30 minutes for it to fully open and went right in. That one was visually so satisfying and the music, timing, and scares were very on point. To me and @reid_iculous_guy it wasnt scary , even though the very end it got Mikey, but it was so much fun to go through. I wish i had gone and done it again a few more times. Then we went down to A Quiet Place and waited about another 30 minutes and went in, first off screw you ,you over spasmastic, obviously younger and not very mature , kids in front of us.  Because of you it was the chaotic loud place and we would have died so f*ckin fast if it had been real. I couldnt enjoy it because of you .....anyways , it doesnt make sense to have a haunted house from a movie that was totally quiet because people now adays have to act a fool...its the only way they cvan live....i gues... sorry i am super bitter about that one. ANYWAYS , moving on we went to the Major Sweet Candy Factory and that one was not dissapointing at all. It was fun, creepy, quirky, and everything i want if  you cant scare me at least make me laugh and creeped out...that did exactly that.. We did a few more but nothing that i would say was worth writing about. The food was incredibly dissapointing. Well the desserts were pretty ghood event hought they were simple they were good, the only thing that stood out to me Savory wise was the Korean Corn Dog. I loved it!!! 

Lets get to the scare zones 

• Duality of Fear is the first Scarezone you come into where you see 2 Demon Sisters named SINIST3R AND SURR3AL and their followers with chainsaws. They look pretty wicked ( see pic above. kinda blurry sorry. ). The zone itself is not very scary or maybe the actors were super tired.
• Enter Blumhouse This was pretty cool actually and at night its  nicely fogged and with some killer music and people inside. The Megan, The Grabber, Blissfield Butcher, Banyfacefrom Happy Death Day, wolfman rebot, and The Purge. 
• Demon Queens where you can see Scaractors such as one of the sisters SURR3al , Vine Queen, Spike Queen, Swirl Queen, Cage Queen, and all the Queens Tormentors along with some tortured Souls. Aesthetically and visually appealing. The costumes and make ups were very well done and beautiful. Spooky but with beauty and grace. 
• Swamp of the Undead and it is what it sounds like. Again the actors seemed to tired to scare people but it did have a ole creepy swamp vibe and smelled a bit weird too. So i liked it visually. You can see scare actors playing characters such as Pepe Richard Bailey, Bertha Bailey, Buford Bailey, Daisy Rattlesnack, and Dirk and of course more undead .
• Torture Faire Is a Ye old Ren Faire put on by Torture Enthusiasts. You can see Characters such as Sinist3r ( one of the sisters ), Jester Torturer, merchants, Knights, King and Queen, plague doctors , victims and so on. It was cool looking and in the light still visually nice. Again not very scary but it was cool looking.

Now lets talk about theHalloween Nightmare Fuel : Nocturnal Circus. This was worth the whole trip honestly. It was so cool to watch and damn those pyros know how to move. It was good fun and i would watch it over and over. 

I liked the scare zones but mostly loved the Blumhouse one. all in all i had alot of fun at Halloween Horror Nights in Orlando Florida to me it wasnt as good as it normally was but still it was so fun and i will keep going back and forth from Hollywood and Orlando lol.

OKC Horror Con

 Well I wont keep you long but then again there isnt much to say about it other than go watch my highlights on youtube. Those were the best moments for me. I cant tell you how you should feel about something but all i can do is give you my honest opinion. the convention was in a bigger place than the last time i went which was in 2022. That was nice and i liked the vendors and unique houses and phoyo op areas they put in. The Parking garage was right around the corner from the convention so that was nice. It was nice and cool in there so that was refreshing. The special guests were all awesome and....WE MET ART THE CLOWN!!!. That was super exciting.

The meh part of it was that i wouldn't pay to go more than 1 day because well honestly it isnt not really anything going on other than what you see when you walk in and Saturday is a Halloween Contest. Unless you just really want to see all the panels ( Some cons dont have panels though) most conventions you can do everything you want in one day.

Anyways overall it was a fun , calm, sily yet spooky Convention. 

BeetleJuice Beetlejuice Review

 IT'S SHOWTIME !!!!!!!

  Ok well how do i begin the amazing movie review? OOOOOPS    spoiler alert   it is amazing. It is hard to say otherwise. I was born in 1987 so i was very little when the first one came out so needless to say i grew up with The beetlejuice movie and cartoon and I have always loved it. I never thought they would do a second although i must admitt i always wanted another one because well i love the first one, i love Tim Burton, and of course Michael and the rest of the cast honestly...except the dad ....he kinda creeped me out to be honest. So going into this new one i was already driven with excitement. I am not the biggest fan of Jenna Ortega but my daughter loves her in Wednesday so well i ignored that fact. Personal opinion moving on lol. Anywho,  the thought of everyone being grown up and her having a daughter makes so much sense timeline wise. I love that they kept up with that. There was always a perfect excuse as to why certain characters were not in this one. The plot around the dad was brilliant and so funny...also i wasnt creeped out seeing him in the new form lmao. 

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is a 2024 American dark fantasy comedy horror film directed by Tim Burton from a screenplay by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar. A sequel to Beetlejuice (1988) and the second film of the Beetlejuice franchise, the film stars Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, and Catherine O'Hara reprising their roles alongside new cast members Justin Theroux, Monica Bellucci, Jenna Ortega, and Willem Dafoe. Set more than three decades after the first Beetlejuice, it follows Lydia Deetz, now a mother, struggling to keep her family together in the wake of a loss as the specter Betelgeuse^[a] returns to haunt her.

( taken from Wiki )

Just in case you dint know that already I thought i would throw that in there. 

ANYWAYS, So i dont want to spoil the movie and give away things that happen so i will tell you the way it made me feel and as much explination that i can.

This movie hit a huge nostalgia button for me. First off seeing the family back together with a few new additions made me feel nostalgic and hearing the theme song in a total new movie was nostalgic. NOTHING hit me harder than seeing Cathrine O'Hara back as Delia!! The movie was not only nostalgic but it had a modern flare to it that was nicely intergrated into it. It was a nice smooth transition in the film you almost didn't notice the change. Then the time comes when you see the house and it still so perfect just like back in the day. 

Can we talk about seeing the Ghost with the Most?  When i saw him i noticed a few changes and again this has been years later and he may be dead but he still ages...decays?...lol but anyways , like he did look a bit older but still youthful, his voice was a bit different almost as if he has grown tired of everything which was so perfect, and his humor was a bit different than before but it seemed so appropriate for the era it is made in. I think the changes that occured made sense in every way. My favorite part in the whole movie is when Beetlejuice goes " I this a figment of your imagination " . The look, sound, and mannerisms in this whole clip was so fittingly perfect i literally quote it all the time. Not to mention....Later fu****... classic lmao. 

The side villain ...Beetlejuice's wife " Delores "  was a nice addition or should i say distraction . I love her and until well lets just say until she met a certain shrunken head man. I now swaer revenge on this Delores * shakes fist angrily* . 

Fun stuff happens and oh yea there is Astrid....who...was there....getting into trouble..sound familiar? She meets a real...nice? boy. Thats all I will say about that. 

Sadly Cathrine O'hara finds out about her husband and The juice was loose and now well...go watch it for yourself!!!

All in all it was a great movie, fun with family ( for the most part ) , and not at all a let down especially for those who grew up with the first movie.

Texas Haunters Convention

SO we went to Texas Haunters Convention as press. The response time when we messaged them about collabing together was quite fast. They were quite accommodating and we had no issues with communication. So that was a brownie point to start out with. We had never been to the convention before so it was definitely something we were looking forward to and I must say...it was pretty worth it. Unlike most other horror conventions I have gone to this was quite unique and made for Haunters. First of all a haunter is a group of people who build haunted houses and or haunted attraction, or collectors of haunted house memorabilia,  or has a passion / love for dressing up and scary the pants off of people. THIS PLACE , if you are any or all of them, is the place for you. 

  The parking was a bit of a mess ( which they have been apologizing and we much appreciate  them caring ) a tad confusing because of the rodeo going on in the same parking lot. However we digress, going inside it was spooky and welcoming. Props, animatronics, blown up spooky inflatables, and haunted house decorations everywhere. 

They did have signs for everything that was going on and lots of signs for their sponsors and content. On one side of the convention there were quite a few food vendors/trucks outside. They were super expensive though. I did love the tea and soda stand Pecos Pete's. So there were food and drinks there but not as pocket friendly as I would have liked but that's just my opinion. 

Once you go up to the kiosks you print out your badge bracelet thing. It was a smooth process and kinda convenient. You walk into the middle room. There are 3 rooms in the convention and they are full of haunters ultimate props and sfx. Haunters, spooky stuff, horror everything was out and about. Anyways,the middle room is basically their artist Ally, so many amazing vendors. We talked to as many as we could and interviewed a few as well. We bought some stuff....alot of stuff lol.

Then to your left is the main stage where panels and scareoke were being held. Not to mention cosplay contests. Also in that room was a cool photographer/sfx editor and a no touch gaming area. That was cool and not to mention phone charging stations!!

Then go back through the middle room to the room on the right where all the haunted houses, vendors, animatronics, goodies for sale were. They had people dressed up in character from different haunted houses and places going around scaring people and taking you to their booths. It was such a fun experience. HQ ( me who is typing)  almost even got into an electric chair and got " electrocuted " lol. Everyone, all the vendors, actors, and enthusiasts were all having a good time and enjoying each other's like minded spirits and minds. 

They even had a painting/art live in the back of the middle room. It was quite bigger than prior years and they made good use of the space. The staff were all kind and informative except one security guard..he wasn't mean but he was super cocky/abrasive slightly but not enough to say he was rude.

To rate it would be hard because it's unique. So I will just say this...it has the pandamonium seal of approval on it lmao. Seriously you should check this convention out if you are Into that stuff!!
