Holy crap folks, we're here. Halloween Hornets announcement season has begun because Universal has dropped the first batch of tickets and the general theme logo catchphrase whatever for Halloween Hornets 32 Halloween Hornets 2023 whatever you want to call it. I'm super excited to dive into this. So first off we have these single night tickets of course, starting at 79.99 per person. Not really too surprising here, although the great thing to note is that we do have dates of course with tickets come dates and our dates are September 1st to October 31st of course ending on Halloween. This was the speculated dates for a long time, so this is not too surprising again that these are the dates we're going to go with last year started I believe on September 2nd. It makes sense September 1st falls on a Friday this year, so we get all of September and all of October to enjoy Halloween Hornets, I believe 44 nights of Halloween Hornets. And it also clears up the rumor of Monday to Friday in October. I know that was a rumor that was swirling around that we're going to be getting Monday to Friday Halloween Hornets in October, but that's not happening this year. Of course here we also have Halloween Hornets express pass starting at 109.99. You know, it's express pass, they're going to have express pass, they're going to drop those when they drop the single night tickets. I'm considering getting express pass this year for opening night because I want to be there and I want to be able to experience all the haunted houses at the event this year. And speaking of houses, this seems to dispel the rumor that we were going to be getting 11 haunted houses because on the website it still says 10 haunted houses, 5 scare zones. So that seems to be what we're going to be getting. I know there has been rumors that the men in black 10 is going to be reused this year and a lot of people are thinking that was going to be the 11th house. I don't think that's the case, obviously it says 10 houses on the Halloween Hornets website. However, this proposed men in black 10 could be a substitution for one of the houses that we're getting. So maybe one of the 10 and they may not be using one of those other locations. But back to tickets, we also have the RIP tour starting at $299.99, pretty standard for the RIP tour. However, if you want a more private personal RIP tour experience, the private RIP tours are also on Celiane. They call the book these, these aren't listed online price-wise. And here's where I noticed the big change for this year. And that comes with the unmasking the Hortor, which I did last year. I made a video on it, I had a great time with it. It's fantastic behind the scenes tour that you can take pictures and set the haunted houses and check out the houses during the daytime. And while last year I paid about $1.20, $1.30 for my tour of my six house tour. This year, the three house tour is going to run you about $120.00 and the six house tour is going to run you $170.00. Those are just starting prices. Those are going to be your days in October, your Tuesdays and Thursdays and October days during the week that the tour is running. Much, much later into the event, it does get a little cheaper. But if you're going to go on that Saturday or that opening weekend or even in most of the time in September, you're going to be seeing that $180, $190, $200 tour. So a little conflicted on it. I do want to do it for the channel. I do want to make another video and sort of show you all what this tour is like because I think it's definitely worth. I think it's really a cool tour to participate in. But dang, man, $200, that's a little steep. Even $170 is pretty steep at least for me. But regardless, if you're interested in those things, they're all on sale on the universal website. No frequent fear passes or scare character dining yet. I do definitely want to do this character dining this year. I did get to do it at all last year and I definitely regretted it. But I'm sure that stuff's going to go on sale later on into announcement season once we get a little closer to the event. The last little piece of this announcement is the themed merchandise for this year, which reveals this year's sort of tagline logo. It is see you in the fog, which I'm really happy with. I'm excited that it's a different sort of tagline. You know, they've done the don't go alone in 2021. Never go alone last year. So I'm kind of glad we're moving away from that. I'm glad we're moving into something a little different. And of course, the fog is such an iconic part of Halloween Hornice. We all love the fog. So I'm glad Halloween Hornice is using that to sort of market the event this year. And looking deeper into this picture, we see sort of these shadowy figures standing at the bottom with the whole sea when the fog graphic. And then it's sort of skull in the background. I really like how they're using this blue sort of neon blue design for this year. And this makes me think they're going to lean into something a little more supernatural this year, maybe. You know, last year was traditional Halloween. The oranges and stuff made sense because you're going with the classic Halloween. But this year, I don't know. I feel like we're going to be getting some supernatural elements at Halloween Hornice this year. This is way early speculation. I know nothing. This is just based on this picture. I'm thinking we might be getting some supernatural general supernatural legends theme this year. And I'm literally editing this as Halloween Hornice posts a new reel to their Instagram, which reads the legend is real. So maybe this is also another hint to some ghost stories, folklore, legend, supernatural things. I don't know. That's what I really hope is the theme for this year. But I don't know. I think this could be the first little bit of announcement, first little bit of tease for the theme for this year, for the general idea for this year. Although I could be total wrong. But yeah, what do you all think of this? I'm excited that tickets are on sale. I'm excited that Halloween Hornice announcement season has begun. I'm excited for more announcements, some more house announcements, maybe some stuff that's not just IP, some original stuff. You couldn't be announced, hopefully. Regardless, let me know what you think of these announcements. And if you enjoyed this video, leave a like and subscribe to the channel. We're going to be doing more Halloween Hornice videos as the time comes as we get closer and closer to the event. And I've been trying to make a non-Holloween Hornice videos, but the universe will just keep pulling me back in with the Hornice. It keeps pulling me back in with the fog in this announcement. I had to talk about it here. I want to thank you all for watching this video. And of course, I will see you all in the next one. Not Halloween Hornice related, I promise. See y'all then.
