Walking through the fog into Darkmoor Village felt like stepping inside a classic monster movie. We rode Curse of the Werewolf and were blown away by Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment. There\u2019s a reason all the vloggers keep praising this attraction. We also share our thoughts on food, merchandise, characters, and atmosphere. Meeting the NEW Bride and Frankenstein in person was the perfect ending to an unforgettable visit.  Next, we joined our friend Tati Perez for a wet and wild time at Halloween Horror Nights Orlando, where ten haunted mazes awaited us\u2014and nonstop Florida rain. But hey - it\u2019s a story! We each share our Top 3 horror mazes. Five Nights at Freddy\u2019s topped our list with its creepy animatronics, while others impressed with their artistic environments. Between mazes, we wandered through eerie \u201cScare Zones\u201d like The Cat Lady of Crooked Lane, where trick-or-treaters slowly turned into feral cats under glowing jack-o\u2019-lanterns. What\u2019s not to love about spooky season!!  There are 4 other \u201clands\u201d or \u201cportals\u2019 at Epic Universe, but to keep to our Halloween theme, we focued on Dark Universe in this episode. To hear more about our entire trip, including our Skywalking Meet-up, Ministry of Magic attraction, and How To Train Your Dragon: Isle of Burke, watch our Livestream dated 10\/13.  \ud83d\udc49 Sponsor: SpiritJersey now has their own Star Wars &amp;amp; Disney license!
