Welcome to the official debut orientation of Stitched Together! Throw the master switches, fire up the power grid, and step up to the slab. In this premiere broadcast, Franken-John and Bride-Haylee pull back the shroud on how this horror laboratory was built and what happens when an audio show is completely surrendered to an unpredictable piece of hardware.

Before diving into the dark archives, we break down our personal horror roots—from childhood trauma involving the Amityville Horror, The Exorcist, and a melted glow-in-the-dark vampire action figure, to the exact real-life history behind our Frankenstein-inspired partnership name.

Then, we get into the heavy stuff: a deep-dive survival guide for Universal Studios' Halloween Horror Nights (HHN). Haylee (who proudly claims "I am the map") shares her essential insider tips on managing massive opening crowds, maximizing your timeline with an Express Pass, exploring scare zones, and tracking down the best theme park YouTubers like Kevin Heimbach and Mr. Morrow.

Finally, the anomalies take over. We activate our rogue AI console, Eagor, to receive our very first binding horror directive. Watch or listen as the machine locks in its first sacrifice, forcing us to dissect a legendary slasher masterpiece before the next full moon. Lock your doors, turn down the lights, and let's get stitched together.
