Should you go to Universal Studio's Fan Fest Nights 2026?

As the calendar turns to March and the winter chill melts away in the hot California sun, there's only one question on everyone's mind... should I go to Universal Studios Hollywood's Fan Fest Nights this spring? Well, fear not, loyal listeners, your favorite Horror Nerds are here to answer that very question! Building upon the full lineup of IP walkthroughs and fandoms coming to the event in its second year - Scooby-Doo meets the Universal Monsters, Harry Potter's Forbidden Forest Journey, Dungeons and Dragons: Secrets of Waterdeep, the One Piece Grand Pirate Gathering and new Grand Pirate Stunt Show, as well as the recently announced Jurassic World: Journey Through Eras fan zone and Sailor Moon Dreamwork's Theatre movie - your ever needlin' nerds examine not only WHAT is coming to the event, but WHO it's for this year. How is the community going to react to the amount of walk through attractions holding steady at three? Are Scooby and Jurassic World suitable replacements for Back to the Future and Star Trek, or is this a softmore slump? And what does Unviersal Creative really want Fan Fest to be - is it meant to be springtime Horror Nights, without the Horror, or is it more akin to Disneyland's Star Wars Nights? We're going deep in this exclusive discussion episode!
