Welcome to the Rush of Fear podcast where we'll be covering Universal Orlando's

premiere scare event Halloween Horror Nights for our sister podcast, the unofficial Universal

Orlando podcast. I'm your host Michelle and for our first, we are going to let you get to know me and my team,

as well as discuss the announcements that we have had for this year's HHN30.

So, let the mayhem begin. Hello, everybody again, I am Michelle, your host.

I'm so glad to have my fellow horror fans here with me today.

I love you all, simply for the fact that you are passionate about this event as much as I am.

Or maybe you just like adrenaline rushes when you get scared by things just like me.

I'm not so much a horror fan, I have to admit.

But let's introduce you to my team.

We've got with us, Kenneth.

Hi, I'm Kenneth. And Maddie.

Hi. All right, guys. So let's jump in letting everybody know a little bit about ourselves and our history with the event.

And I'll kick us off just by saying that you guys probably have me beat on how long you've been attending this event.

I'm a total scaredy cat, as I said before.

So it took me a while to actually join the fun.

I think my first year was 25 attending the event because my travel agency partner, Robin,

and I were attending a training in the area,

and she convinced me that we should just go give it a try. And I'm so glad she did because I'm

obsessed now. And I've been every year since. I won't miss it unless there's a pandemic, of course.

So 25 was my first year, which is a great year to kick off a passion like this, for sure,

because that was a great year.
