HHN Orlando House Announcement: Terrifier My thoughts here:

coreyhall.blogHHN Orlando House Announcement: TerrifierTerrifier Maybe this year’s worst-kept secret is finally out: Terrifier is coming to Halloween Horror Nights, and Art the Clown is getting his own haunted house. If you’ve been following the rumors, you probably saw this coming a mile away. I have to admit, seeing Art go from underground slasher oddity to a full-blown HHN headliner is wild. The house is supposed to channel that chaotic funhouse energy from Terrifier 2. With Mike Aiello back at the helm, I am genuinely curious how far they’ll push it. I expect weirdness, smells, gore, and a few moments that will make even the most seasoned HHN veterans squirm.

coreyhall.blogHHN Orlando House Announcement: FalloutFallout House Announcement for Universal Orlando Halloween Horror Nights 2025 Is Fallout horror? Does it belong at Halloween Horror Nights or would it be better suited for an event like Fan Fest? I think Fallout can be classified as sci-fi horror lite, but it remains to be seen if the house rings true as a horror house. “Will you survive the post-apocalyptic world of the hit show “Fallout”? Go with Lucy from the vaults to face the horrors of the wasteland.”

Really though, I’m stoked for this house. Yeti: Terror of the Yukon in 2019 was my #1 house. For the scares, the scenic design, and the cold winter setting. I can’t wait to be chilled to my core in what looks to be Bloodmoon meets Game of Thrones. “In a remote northern village, a wicked being rises from the dead with a horde of monsters.

Dems should propose a law that immediately requires every fed agency to post on @bsky.app account, every outlay with a detailed description, $, and a link to existing gov sites with in depth details Rather than trying to keep Elon out, pre-empt him so he cant miss characterize spending.

2025 is my Year of Exploration. This year, I’m focusing on curiosity, growth, and new experiences—deepening relationships, planning travel, and working toward buying a house.

coreyhall.blog2025 The Year of ExplorationI’ve been reflecting on a simple yet thought-provoking question—what do I want the theme of 2025 to be? I’ve never been one for traditional New Year’s resolutions, but I like the idea of setting a tone for the year ahead. It’s less about grand declarations and more about creating a sense of direction, even if it’s just a quiet intention to guide me through the months to come. Since starting a new job on November 18, 2024—right before the holidays—life has felt like a whirlwind. I’ve been busier than usual, and honestly, I haven’t had much time to think about big-picture goals.

coreyhall.blogTaking a Step Back from Social MediaPhoto by Sagui Andrea on Pexels.com Lately, I’ve been stepping back from social media as part of a broader effort to create more space for exploration in my life. With a new job and the desire to approach 2025 with curiosity and intention, this small shift has led to noticeable changes in how I feel day to day. There’s something freeing about not feeling the constant pull to check notifications or stay caught up with everything happening online. Instead, I’ve found myself more present in the moment, reading more, diving into hobbies, and just letting my mind wander without distraction.

One thing I don’t like about the Threads leftist bubble is the constant ‘outrage inception.’ It’s always posts reacting to what ‘the other side’ is supposedly saying or doing, but I never actually see the original takes. It’s just an endless loop of reactions to reactions.
