In this explosive Fourth of July episode of the Epic Universal Podcast, Jim Hill and Eric Hersey ride the rails of ghostly New England folklore and land in the middle of this year’s Halloween Horror Nights house reveals. From Norwegian monsters and homicidal dolls to the surprise announcement of Universal Horror Unleashed in Chicago, this episode is packed tighter than a holiday fireworks box.
Then, Jim takes us on a moonshot-level deep dive into Apollo 13—the real mission, the Ron Howard film, and how a $25 model rocket and a bottle of Avian became movie magic. Along the way, they cover:
The “Ghost Train” of New Boston, New Hampshire
Universal’s new horror experience heading to Chicago
All the newly announced HHN houses (creepy dolls, cursed villages, and more)
Pizza Moon’s controversial to-go box policy
Jim’s breakdown of Apollo 13, its real-life mission, and the making of the film
Whether you’re into horror houses or lunar modules, this episode has something for every theme park nerd, history buff, and movie geek.
