In the last part of our HHN 32 celebration, the Pod Squad looks back at (most) of all the other things we haven't talked about at the event yet. From food reviews to Nightmare Fuel, from Coconut Clubs to Twisted Playgrounds, we'll break down why we think it's worth doing the non-house, non-zone attractions while you're at the event, as well as why this season of Halloween Horror Nights was meaningful to us particularly. (Hint: Part of it has to do with you!)
