@adamfromtpw I feel grateful to have played my part, but really we are all very lucky that Universal Orlando has such great leadership that believes in things like this show - bringing it back was no question. A lot of unsung heroes that are the reason HHN is so great each year.

It's the final night for Haunt-O-Phonic. This show was special for us in so many ways. Going to enjoy the last few performances tonight. Congrats to everyone who helped make this one come together!

[Jason McManus @JasonMcManus]

@ThemesRenewed @TharinWhite Correct. The version of "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" that you hear in Haunt-O-Phonic is an original composition. Fun fact - Tim Heinz (Composer) and myself sang almost all of the vocals in the show except for "Black Cat." We had a lot of fun with it.

The view is so wide, we made sure to reward the audience for viewing in different locations. It's impossible to see it all in any one spot.

The #HHN lagoon show is fast-paced and fun, with multiple levels of projection. If you see it again, choose a different location and you may spot different elements.

@SkellyBonesArt @Michael_Aiello I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!

@WerewolfExec I only wish you could hear the fake weather announcement we made to prank the tech crew working that night. One day...

In 2022, Ghoulish only ran for under two weeks. Since then, everything behind the scenes has been replaced. We wanted to give it a proper run, but didn't want to just bring it back - we wanted to make it better - Everything you see had to be painfully recreated from scratch.

[Jason McManus @JasonMcManus]

Also, new original songs were included, new media, effects that were never there before. It's a tribute to the previous and the opportunity of doing something new, brought to you through incredible dedication and love for fans of HHN.

Cue the chills 🌝✨ Here’s a peek at Haunt-O-Phonic: A Ghoulish Journey! #HHN34

[Jason McManus @JasonMcManus]

@iamcg83 I'll let you in on a secret. In every lagoon show we have ever done, we hid a pepperoni pizza in it somewhere. In the Celebration of the Olympics show, we replaced one single gold medal with a pizza. I dare you to find it in this one. It's in there, just very well hidden.

[Jason McManus @JasonMcManus]

We're hitting one of these buttons tonight. Let's see what it does.. 💀

Putting the final touches on as we speak. Finally got to just sit back and enjoy watching through everything last night and - WOW!!

We can not wait to unleash this one to the world!

@goonie5555 Something spooky. You'll have to see for yourself.

[Jason McManus @JasonMcManus]

@SkellyBonesArt I really hope you enjoy it!

[Jason McManus @JasonMcManus]

@themeparktrib Wait a minute... I love that idea.

[Jason McManus @JasonMcManus]

Just imagine if Rock 'n' Roller Coaster had a walk-around Aerosmith giving out guitar picks and backstage passes on closing day... Start demanding this now! Let our voices be heard!!
