USH Halloween Horror Nights Opening Night 2025

We went to the opening night for Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood. Tickets were sold out for the night as well as the express pass. This year there are 8 haunted houses, 4 scare zones, 2 shows, Terror Tram and various themed food/drinks and merch. We made it through all 8 haunted houses, scare zones and Terror Tram. Tried a few themed food and drinks and bought some HHN merch. We did all of this with the express pass. The only thing we did not do was watch Chainsaw Man at the Dreamworks Theater which was new this year. We skipped The Purge show since we had already seen it a couple years prior.  

Chuck’s Arcade

Chuck’s Arcade for adults and kids too but without the food and drinks. Most games are geared towards adults. We visited their newest location that just opened at the Brea Mall in Brea, CA. It’s located on the 2nd floor of the mall and is really close to the food court. They have a lot of claw machines. They have some old school games and new games. If you don’t have enough points to redeem for the prize you want they had a section where you can purchase prizes. 

SDCC 2025 Final Recap

SDCC 2025 was just as epic as preview years. This year we focused on a lot of the offsite activation that were held all around the convention center and throughout the Gaslamp / downtown SD area. The exhibition hall is huge every year. Most companies that have exclusives have their own rules/handling of how their exclusives will be sold. All of that is usually announced through their socials or website. The big ones that attracts the biggest fan base with highly sought after exclusives were Mattel, Funko, Pop Mart, 100% Soft, UCC Distributing and more. 

One of the most epic things we saw inside the exhibit hall this year was at the LEGO booth! They built SDCC, convention center and booths!!!
