S3E2 - HHN 35 Hype Lists with The Horrific Network!

"Mad Lands is my number 10," JB Michaels says at the start of this episode, and the confession sets the tone for a careful, measured ranking of Halloween Horror Nights 35's announced houses. Joined by Jimmy Horrific from The Horrific Network, JB and co-host Brownie walk through their personal hype lists from least to most anticipated, revealing not just which houses they're excited for, but why — and the reasoning reveals a lot about how veteran HHN fans think about original concepts, IP fatigue, and the challenge of translating film into a walk-through experience.

The episode opens with a discussion about spoilers and the value of experiencing houses blind. All three agree: they avoid house walkthrough videos and behind-the-scenes content before their first run. Jimmy explains that he wants "nothing in my mind" for houses, then uses the behind-the-scenes tour afterward to gain a new perspective. Scare zones are a different story — Jimmy admits he's "a little bit more lackadaisical" because he wants to plan photo ops with characters like Eddie. Brownie recalls one year (likely 2013, the Silent Hill or Resident Evil year) where he went in completely blind and found it overwhelming, spending the whole trip "playing catch-up." The consensus: avoid house spoilers, but scout scare zones for logistics.

The Bottom of the List: Mad Lands, Stranger Things, and Hellraiser
