Daniel and his wife Laurie visit Universal Studios Hollywood, to attended the annual Halloween Horror Nights.  This is not your usual run-of-the-mill DisGeek Podcast episode.  Instead we present a recording of Daniel and Laurie AT the event.  Here are a few notes about the recording:

  • It is not in binaural so headphones are not really needed but may help. I was just me walking and holding my digital audio recorder. It didn’t have a pop filter of any kind so you will occasionally hear a pop and some wind now and then.
  • I had a few technical difficulties and you hear those issues. For example on Transformers the first part is a bit over-modulated and it wasn’t until halfway thru the ride did I realize it. There was a time or two where I identically turned off the recording so there may be a weird edit or two.
  • Also we walk through the mazes and you get to join us.. The recording of those could be loud, and a bit disturbing. It is halloween horror nights after all. You will hear the occasional swear word. Not from us, but the people around us and some graphic descriptions. I don’t do the best job at describing what I see, but with the audio, you can use your own imagination. So if you are bothered by Horror type stuff, you may want to pass.
  • Finally if you plan to attend Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights consider this a spoiler warning.

Here is a video trailer of the event:

I realize that this may not be your cup of tea.  But I’m a huge fan of these types of events and of theme parks in general so I thought it would be fun to share this with you.  If not, then we will see you next week, with a brand new episode of the DisGeek Podcast.  Enjoy the show.
