    Best of the Best
    The best (and OG) HHN pod. I could listen to Matt read a takeout menu, and be captivated by it. It has evolved throughout the years, but remains consistently excellent. Bring back Quint, you cowards!

    the art of the scare
    in anticipation of attending halloween horror nights for the first time in more than twenty years, i gave each podcast i could find on the topic a whirl. catacombs quickly became my favorite and i spent the brutal south florida summer working my way through your delightful back catalogue of episodes. the big event is finally upon us, and i can’t wait to walk into universal orlando armed with my shiny new HHN PhD. thank you for sharing your labor of love— i owe you a beer or two.

    Not enough stars available to rate them!
    My favorite, go-to HHN podcast. It’s like sitting around the table chatting with friends that really GET you. Fellow HHN nerds unite. Hope to see y’all in the fog this year.

    Gold standard of HHN podcasts
    Some time ago I came across this show while browsing NeoZAZ selections. At the time I was unfamiliar with Halloween Horror Nights and can give Catacombs full credit (blame) for my yearly travel of 1000 miles to do HHN. While some hosts have changed, the quality has not. From their covering of the event’s previous years to the present, it is well worth a venture into the Catacombs of Halloween Horror Nights.

    Florida?
    I just don’t like the criticisms of Florida. Not interested in politics. Other than that, excellent podcast

    Long time listener.
    Heyo Matt & Hunter! I’ve been a listener of this podcast for a very long time, way back when it was Matt, Quint & Karen, this was my go-to HHN podcast to listen to episodes from years past when I was a guest to when I began my career being a scare actor. Fast forward to now this is still my go to Horror Nights podcast, every episode just gets better and better, these are the nicest guys to meet and just have a casual conversation with. Hunter and Matt keep doing what you’re doing I look forward to every episode you guys drop. See you in the Fog! -Thomas Barnette

    My HHN Podcast!!
    Hey guys! You asked for a review since you haven’t had one recently, so I figured I’d share and let others know how awesome you all are. Over the course of the last year and a half I have gone through and listened to every episode and learned so much about the history of HHN Orlando. I moved to central florida in March of 2022 and immediately got hooked on everything about HHN. I found your podcast and didn’t want to stop listening until I got all the way through. Matt, I’m glad you kept the podcast running and were able to hand it off to Hunter after the history was all caught up. Maybe Quint can come back for an episode sometime for old times sake. Maybe you guys can have an instant reaction podcast with his reactions at the event when he comes this year. Thanks for everything you all do. Keep it up fellas.

    Catacombs is Beast
    Love this podcast. Love the event. The hosts are great and hilarious. It doesn’t take itself too seriously, but pushes out quality content that I love to binge and listen to at work. Easy listening. See you all in the fog!

All the sounds, all the details you share and just hearing your reactions got me so excited to come back again. Thank for all you do and keep up the absolutely amzaing work.
  • Hobgovan13
    Look forward to every release
    I recently discovered this show getting ready for my longest stay in Orlando for Halloween Horror Nights and I ran through everything in just a matter of weeks. Since then I’ve eagerly awaited each new episode and started going back through the old ones. Can’t wait to see what they bring out during the season this year.
  • Coridane
    Can't wait for HHN29!!!
    Can't wait for HHN29! You guys have got me so hyped!!! This is going to be an awesome year. Can't wait to hear what you post!

    The Best HHN Podcast
    Forever entertaining and insightful, this is the cream of the crop when it comes to HHN content. They take the time necessary to discuss each topic instead of rushing through the elaborate material in 20 to thirty minutes. Instead of picking guests off their "star power" they choose guests who love the event just as much and fit well with the show. My highest recommendation.
  • Mekacolleb
    Still the best
    I found this show when I was getting ready to go to Hallowen Horror Nights for my very first time during their 25th Anniversary. At the time this was the only show I found that talked about Halloween Horror Nights every episode. But besides being the only choice, I found it a great show to listen to. Since then there have been many other shows that have now come along and center their talk on Halloween Horror Nights. I enjoy those as well, more Halloween Horror Nights talk is always good. But The Catacombs Of Halloween Horror Nights will always jump to the top of my listening list with each new episode. It's the best of a great bunch and everyone that participates in the show is a lot of fun to listen to.
  • Methosage
    #1 HHN podcast!
    Listening to Catacombs kindles feelings similar to hanging out at home with a group of my closest friends and just geeking out about something we all are passionate about. Kind of like the season 1 Stranger Things kids hanging out playing D&D. Keep up the amazing work!
  • St3v3nAlb3n3
    Halloween Horror Nights fandom in a podcast!
    It is such a great experience listing to this podcast. The host are all clearly passionate fans of Halloween Horror Nights. They're excitement in each new addtion to each year is contagious. The fun of recollecting past years is pure joy to listen to. Catacombs is showcase of how fans of the event love it, constantly discuss it, and get the most of of every minute of it each year.

    The best pod covering Halloween Horror Nights Orlando
    I"ve been attending Halloween Horror Nights Orlando since 2007, it's my annual vacation for myself that I get excited about every fall. Since finding this pod I get that same excitement through out the entire year. The passion and reverence for Halloween Horror Nights this pod comes through in every single post. I can express enough how much everyone that goes to Halloween Horror Nights should really listen to this show.
  • TheDirectorsPA
    The best HHN show available!
    My favorite source of HHN. There's a true passion and excitement for Halloween Horror Nights that comes out from everyone on the show in every episode. Honest, insightful reviews, great history, and fantastic story tellers.

    Scary Good
    My absolute favorite HHN podcast. The hosts are extrememly knowledgable and each episode reminds me of the convos I would have after some beers with my friends. If you want to stay informed on the latest news, learn about the history of HHN, or just like some good laughs, I suggest you subscribe!
  • FalRisco
    Exactly what I was looking for
    I've only been going to Halloween Horror Nights since 2012, but I became hooked the second I walked in and have never missed a year since. I've been looking for something that not only talked Halloween Horror Nights, but talked about all the years, the icons, the properties and about what's coming next. There's many great resources, and I enjoy them all. This format is my hands down first go to for listening to bother and sisiter fans talk about Halloween Horror Nights. With each episode release, I'm listening the second I pops up. I've now gone through the entire feed of past show and I'm starting over again from the beginning.
  • ChuckysSis
    My absolutely favorite show
    My love for this show starts with the subject matter. I've loved going to Halloween horror Nights for years now. I love hearing pepole talk aboout horr nights, even more about the years I didn't go. I also love the reaction episodes. The energy and excitement, along with the honest even commentary on the good and bad, get's me hyped up for the season each episode. The mix of history, news, expereincesn and stories is a fantastic formula and make each episode amazing.

    I went to 27 because of this show
    I've been a long time listener of nearly everything on the neozaz pod network including this show. I'd never gone to Halloween horror nights before but enjoyed learning about this with this show. I finally went this year after listening to the whole history on this show and so happy I did. Amazing work and really looking forward to listening on as I plan my next visit.
  • Cobbinsazil
    This is just the best show ever!
    This is the best show I listen to, made even better during the halloween season. I ran into Matt at HHN27 so far and he was so fun to spend time at the event with - like being in a live moment of the show. Hope to see everyone else sometime!

    Fantastic way to prepare
    I've just starting going to Halloween Horror Nights in the past 5 years. I came across this series before 2016's event. It was a great way to get myself ready and amped up for the event and to get a bigger look at the entire legacy that continues each year.
