Welcome everyone.
0:03
Adam the Woo here. Listen to the birds
0:05
chirping.
0:11
You can hear them
0:11
as the recording of this Saturday,
0:13
October 18th,
0:15
2025.
0:17
A little bit later, I'm going to get on
0:19
my Glorified Golf Cart Mini Marge,
0:21
cruise around, maybe look at some not
0:23
only Halloween decor, but also go to an
0:25
event they are having in downtown
0:27
Celebration. The leaves will be falling
0:29
and I might even pop by the church
0:31
pumpkin patch which I have not been into
0:33
yet this year. But first I'm going to
0:36
drive over to the threshold of Davenport
0:39
on Highway 27 and I4. Meet up with a
0:42
guy. Going to be purchasing an
0:45
eighttrack player which I do not own an
0:47
eight track player. So, going to meet up
0:50
over there and then come back over here
0:52
and then have myself a early afternoon,
0:54
late evening
0:56
of Halloween time fun in the town I live
1:00
in celebration. I'm inviting you to join
1:02
me. Cheers.
1:05
That's warm.
1:07
Shall you? Oh, dang. Road construction
1:11
update. I4 westbound going pretty
1:13
smooth, but look at this intersection
1:16
here. They are either widening and or or
1:20
if possibly fixing the roadway. And I
1:25
use all those words. I don't really know
1:27
what the heck they're doing.
1:29
But I know going farther that direction
1:32
westbound past Champions Gate towards
1:35
the 27 corridor of I4 Davenport area.
1:40
It's a lot smoother. So, I'm hoping this
1:43
will smooth up my commute westwardly
1:46
towards the Tampa area
1:48
in the future. Nice. There is Mickey
1:52
Powerpole
1:54
right there. That's That's good news.
2:13
It's amazing to think that way back in
2:13
the day, this whole area used to be
2:15
boardwalk and baseball and circus world.
2:17
Now it's all big shopping center. I'm
2:20
going to pop in Target for a minute,
2:22
too. Oh, maybe I'll get a couple last
2:24
minute Halloween items. They got some
2:26
Stranger Things stuff over at exit 11.
2:28
Oh, this is Louis the pumpkin ghoul.
2:33
Hard to believe there's like what less
2:34
than two weeks. It's all Hallow's Eve.
2:37
And this is Bruce the skeleton.
2:40
right now.
2:41
>> I'm living my best afterlife, baby.
2:44
>> I'm living his best afterlife, baby. I
2:48
They all have an evil laugh afterwards.
2:50
And I stayed clear of getting any
2:52
Halloween stuff, but I did get some
2:53
batteries that I need for the house.
2:55
Also got a case of water. And over here
2:56
is the aisle of all the Stranger Things
2:58
stuff with the final season coming up
3:01
very soon. You could get some Hawkins
3:03
frosted flakes, demogorgan crunch right
3:06
here. You can even get, look at this,
3:08
Froot Loops right there on Touc
3:12
on Toucan Sam is the demogorgan outfit
3:15
right there. How cool is that? That's
3:17
pretty dang cool. 1987 collector's
3:20
edition. That's That's kind of neat and
3:22
retro. Family size. Two can Sam. That's
3:24
his name, right? I think so. I think I
3:26
remember that correctly. Also, Doritos
3:28
have the whole Stranger Things overlay
3:31
as well. The minis do all kind of stuff
3:33
through here. Look at this. Now, this is
3:35
an entire packet of socks. The squawk
3:37

3:41
full of different socks, assorted socks
3:45
themed around Stranger Things. Of
3:47
course, you got the Hellfire Club. You

take a photo. You can tag Target.
3:56
Mystery items inside here. The
3:58
Demogorgan bundle. Oh, look at 25% off
4:02
right now as well. I'm kind of excited
4:03
about the final season. I'm looking
4:04
forward to seeing how they're going to
4:05
wrap all of it up. It seems like the
4:07
show's been on for like two decades.
4:10
It's only going to be the fifth season,
4:11
but that's how things go. That's kind of
4:14
cute. Look at that. That's kind of cute.
4:17
Look at this. This thing does not look
4:19
like it wants to eat your eat your flesh
4:22
off. Touch touch your stomach. There you
4:23
go. Look at that.
4:27
All right. That's That's cute. That's
4:28
cute. You can also get a color with
4:30
stickers book right here as well. Oh,
4:32
dang. Target has vinyl. They actually
4:34
have vinyl in here. You can get the
4:36
retro vinyl. Not only Stranger Things
4:38
stuff, but you can go into the vinyl
4:40
rabbit hole as well at Target. It looks
4:43
like it's a lot of newer stuff, but
4:44
there's some old stuff. A Sinatra over
4:46
there. All right. Not only an eight
4:47
track player, but also eight tracks come
4:49
with it.
4:51
>> Target parking lot deals. [laughter]
4:54
>> I know, right? All the deals go down in
4:56
the in the Target parking lot. But you
4:58
made this.
5:00
>> I made this.
5:01
>> Yeah. It's How many pieces is it?
5:04
>> It's like 260 pieces.
5:06
>> Yeah.

5:08
>> Yeah, this was about 14 pieces. Just a
5:10
pack.
5:11
>> Where do you sell the stuff at normally?
5:13

>> Scream. It's a scream 3D.
5:22
>> It's a scream 3D.
5:24
>> Yeah, I make cool stuff.
5:26
>> You do. Look at this thing.
5:28
This is going to I probably let let my
5:30
uh let my buddy Kevin use this for his
5:32
Ghostbusters yard. But this is pretty
5:34
cool.
5:34
>> That thing is wild. When you said you
5:36
when you said you had this, you said you
5:38
had the devil dog. I thought maybe it
5:39
was the one that they were they were
5:40
selling. I didn't realize it was a
5:42
custom. [laughter] It's like coming out
5:43
of your insides. It's like an alien.
5:46
It's like a It's like world scariest
5:48
belt buckle. [laughter]
5:51
>> Or something else.
5:58
Oh, this is cool. So, I'm going to get
5:58
this.
6:00
>> This is pretty sweet and retro. I just
6:01
got a tape deck.
6:03
>> So, this will go with that.
6:04
>> A track.
6:04
>> And I got a tape deck. Now I got a
6:06
record player. Now I got an A track.
6:09
>> And even got that band.
6:12
>> Jordan.
6:13
Can't do that.
6:14
>> Only the best.
6:15
>> That kid that got was a grown man now.
6:17
He was at some convention rece.
6:19
>> Yeah, he was there. Oh my god. At
6:21
Fanboy.
6:22
>> Yeah. He had his banjo with him and
6:24
everything.
6:25
What was that?
6:26
>> The godfather was uh
6:28
>> Yeah, we met the godfather. My goodness.
6:30
>> Oh, Elvis. All these. So, you're
6:32
throwing these in with the eight track.
6:34
>> Yeah. With the eight track.
6:35
>> Oh, this is the This is my favorite
6:36
Elvis right here.
6:37
>> Aloha from Hawaii right there.
6:40
[laughter] I went to that spot and
6:41
visited the statue where this is uh
6:43
where he performed there.
6:44
>> Wow.
6:45
>> Yeah. Pretty cool. All right. Awesome.
6:48
Oh, we have a Beatles. Hey, Jude.
6:52
>> Nice.
6:52
>> That's a good taste.
6:55
This is the album that they had to redo.
6:57
Remember the one where they had the the
6:58
bloody dolls on the front?
7:01
>> Right.
7:01
>> This is not the bloody doll one, but
7:03
that's a different album cover. So cool.
7:06
>> All right. There is a serious backup
7:09
getting on to I4 eastbound.
7:12
It's slow going, so I'm kind of stopped
7:14
here on the on-ramp, but looking over at
7:18
the patch of land that used to be
7:21
Boardwalk and Baseball and Circus World.
7:24
Boardwalk and Baseball is where I
7:26
believe the Kansas City Royals used to
7:27
spring train. They also had a farm team
7:30
play in there.
7:33
They had roller coasters. There's a
7:35
famous photo of Michael Jackson
7:38
renting out the park and riding on the
7:40
roller coaster
7:43
on the property right here where the
7:44
Staples sits. The Target where I just
7:47
was sits.
7:54
And I think John Landis was also on that
7:54
roller coaster with Michael Jackson,
7:57
which I'm guessing would have been
7:58
around the Thriller era.
8:02
I know Michael was in there, but I'm not
8:04
sure about Lambdas, but I think he was
8:05
on the coaster with Michael.
8:13
Here's a target I was just at right
8:13
there. Yeah, traffic's really backed up.
8:15
Definitely slow going getting on I4.
8:19
It's moving, but very, very slow. Just
8:21
kind of crawling along.
8:24
I actually visited both Boardwalk
8:26
Baseball and Circus World back in the
8:27
day. One of the first time my family
8:30
ever visited. My mom still tells the
8:32
story of coming here and going to Magic
8:34
Kingdom. Early 70s,
8:38
mid7, let's say mid70s.
8:40
Mid to late 70s, probably 78.
8:43
And going to Magic Kingdom and going to
8:45
Circus World.
8:47
Circus World was right over here to the
8:49
right.
8:58
Ah, progress.
8:58
I don't know how a theme park would
9:01
really work around being around circus.
9:03
I don't know if a circus theme park
9:06
would really work in this day and age,
9:08
but well, it obviously didn't work then.
9:10
That's probably why it closed.
9:16
All right, step one of installing the
9:16
devil dog has happened. See how it looks
9:19
a little bit later here with the lights
9:22
on.
9:27
Looks pretty good with the hedges there
9:27
kind of blocking the make it look like
9:30
his full body's in there when it's just
9:31
the head.
9:36
Show it a little bit later when when I
9:36
start the night I cruise by here on my
9:38
golf cart, but I didn't really show it
9:40
in detail. Halloween Town. This house
9:44
does pretty much decorates for every
9:46
single holiday,
9:49
including St. Patties, Easter,
9:57
Christmas, Halloween, obviously
9:57
Halloween.
9:59
Got Jack Skellington there.
10:05
Got Mickey and Minnie and Donald. Look
10:05
at Donald looking all very witchy like.
10:08
He's got a big top hat on.
10:12
And then Mickey is Jack Skellington and
10:14
Minnie
10:15
Sally. That's cool.
10:24
And then directly across the street is
10:24
another house. Puts a lot of inflatables
10:26
out. Got OogieOogie over there. You got
10:28
ghost Mickey.
10:30
You got Mickey popping out of the
10:32
pumpkin.
10:39
Kevin's here.
10:39
>> We're here. It's Halloween time.
10:42
When When do they put the minions out?
10:45
>> That's usually Christmas.
10:46
>> Christmas. Yeah. They just have a whole
10:48
army of minions.
10:49
>> Christmas minions.
10:51
>> Yeah. This house over here decorates for
10:53
Christmas and Halloween also.
10:58
>> Have you ever seen the leaves fall here
10:58
in town? You ever seen the leaves
11:01
falling ceremony?
11:03
>> No.
11:03
>> Seen the snow fall?
11:04
>> Oh, yeah. I've seen the snow.
11:05
>> They do. They do leaves. They do leaves
11:07
falling. This weekend
11:08
>> I saw them put up the pumpkins. Does it
11:09
like shoot out of their mouth? How do
11:11
the leaves come?
11:11
>> Those little boxes. Yeah, little It's
11:13
>> Oh, you spoiled it. I was going to be
11:14
looking at the jackalantern. They come
11:16
out of the pumpkins coming
11:17
>> some vomit. Some leave vomit coming out.
11:20
>> This right here is going to regurgitate
11:21
leaves. See, it already has.
11:25
I didn't mean to give the spoilers, but
11:26
yeah,
11:28
those boxes, spoiler alert, those boxes
11:31
are just good for every occasion.
11:33
>> Nope.
11:34
>> Are you going to add one of those boxes
11:36
to your house? That's the real question.
11:37
>> Ooh.
11:38
>> Are you going to have just leaves
11:39
shooting out?
11:41
>> Snope. Christmas time. You got to
11:43
decorate for Christmas.
11:44
>> Do I? Yeah, you're in celebration, Adam.
11:47
Everybody decorates.
11:48
>> That's true. They do. What goes hard?
11:50
Christmas here or Halloween?
11:52
>> I think Christmas.
11:53
>> I think it used to be Halloween, but
11:54
>> Yeah, Christmas goes pretty hard.
11:56
>> Jeter bin was Halloween, right?
11:58
>> Was Jeter Ben used to be known for their
12:00
Christmas or Halloween?
12:01
>> Halloween.
12:02
>> Yeah. Now it's toned down.
12:04
>> Well, Christmas was also insane.
12:06
>> It was on the same level. Yeah.
12:08
>> But now they don't do it anymore, which
12:09
sucks. It's like
12:10
>> a couple houses with some decorations
12:11
and it's like Yep. So you got to step
12:13
your game up, Adam. The graveyard.
12:15
>> I'm getting I'm trying to listen to you,
12:16
Kevin. I'm being very distracted by this
12:18
ghost that's howling. Were you hearing
12:20
the
12:21
>> Oh, it was you. You're a ventriloquist.
12:28
>> You need one of those for your yard.
12:28
>> It sounds more like an alien instead of
12:30
a ghost.
12:33
>> It's an alien ghost. All right, let's
12:36
go. Let's go see some leaves. Let's do
12:38
it.
12:39
>> Only here in Florida where that's
12:40
excitement. We're going to see leaves.
12:42
>> Leaves. Fake leaves are going to fall
12:44
just like Just like in the north. Didn't
12:46
show this the other night either. You
12:48
got a
12:48
>> Oh, the owners put their heads inside
12:50
jars
12:51
>> like the Oh, wow. Yeah,
12:52
>> that's cool. The witch there with the
12:54
potion.
12:59
>> Oh, I like the headstones here. I'll be
12:59
back and Willy rot.
13:04
>> Oh, do they have an effect on the
13:06
>> crystal ball?
13:07
>> Yeah,
13:07
>> they sure do.
13:08
>> Oh, witch silhouette.
13:09
>> Oh, that's nice. So, this is the
13:10
skinniest ghost I've ever seen.
13:14
they've been dieting. That's a good one,
13:16
too. I tried put one up the these
13:19
spiderweb things up last year. They're a
13:21
lot more difficult than you think they
13:22
would be, but I think I had like a one
13:23
that went farther up the side of my
13:25
house. That looks like a better one cuz
13:27
the ropes are a little thicker. I had
13:29
like just kind of string and it was just
13:31
kind of gave up on it. All right, we're
13:34
over on Water Street and we're just
13:36
taking our time because we are behind
13:38
the horsedrawn carriage that they do for
13:41
fall and for Christmas.
13:44
Just kind of crawl back here for a
13:46
minute. Another block until it turns
13:47
off.
13:59
If you look across the water on Water
13:59
Street, there's a hayride.
14:17
All right, over at the pumpkin patch at
14:17
the church.
14:25
Take a look at some pumpkins.
14:25
They always do this event here. Buy some
14:28
fresh not fresh pumpkins, but pumpkins.
14:30
I guess they're fresh.
14:31
>> Do you want a circular.
14:44
>> Looks like they've sold a bunch.
14:44
>> I think this pumpkin patch has been open
14:45
for a couple weeks. First time I popped
14:48
in, though.
14:50
Check out the Gym E6 right there. That
14:53
is That's a step up. That's a
14:55
six-seater, not a two-seater. Nice. Ah,
14:58
look at that. You got the hitchhiking
15:00
ghosts on that golf cart. The golf carts
15:02
are coming out to play and so are the
15:04
ghosts.
15:06
Look at this. There's golf carts
15:07
everywhere. I got another golf cart
15:08
pulling up here. I feel right at home
15:10
here with a golf cart. [music]
15:12
I'm back over at the undead end because
15:14
Kevin has never seen the Celebration
15:16
Zombie House with his own eyes. He's
15:18
heard stories.
15:20
You ready for this?
15:21
>> My life's about to be changed. I'm going
15:22
to see some zombies and then some
15:24
leaves.
15:26
>> Oh, okay. Cool. Thank you. Take a look
15:29
at this, Kevin.
15:32
>> It's just like yesterday we were there
15:34
>> dragging some meat on the counter.
15:37
>> So, we just talked to the owner. She
15:38
said we could go up in the driveway. So,
15:40
get a little closer look. I didn't get
15:41
to go up in the driveway the other
15:42
night. There's audio. Someone being torn
15:44
apart.
15:51
She said her husband was going to turn
15:51
the fog machines on in 20 minutes, but I
15:53
don't think we're going to be here 20
15:54
minutes.
15:59
This is probably the scariest yard in
16:00
Celebration.
16:02
Look at that. That's a good effect, too,
16:03
with the lights with the trash can full
16:05
of zombies.
16:06
Then you got two graves. You got mom and
16:09
dad right there.
16:14
This one,
16:14
>> they got the porch lights with the
16:16
flicker. Look at that.
16:34
Yeah, the flickering of the porch
16:34
lights.
16:47
And you got the newspapers as if the
16:47
place is abandoned. You got the zombie
16:48
dog. The door is all boarded up.
17:05
Oh, David broke this. Look,
17:06
it's all like crunched and distressed.
17:09
>> Yeah, that's a nice touch.
17:16
>> So, they hide the projection in the
17:16
rock.
17:18
>> Oh, yeah.
17:18
>> And they shine it.
17:22
Now, I've been here before. I think last
17:24
year this does turn on and he's actually
17:27
eating her inards. But right now, it's
17:30
not on. Or maybe it doesn't work
17:31
anymore. But that's always a that's
17:33
always a good one.
17:41
Getting some ideas.
17:46
It's just insane. Like, imagine you're
17:46
the neighbor and you're hearing zombies
17:48
moan all night.
17:56
Scariest house in Celebration so far.
17:56
>> You think it's supposed to be a zombie
17:57
version of Caroline from Poltergeist?
18:01
>> I think I think just a mannequin of Sean
18:04
with the gum in his teeth. I think could
18:06
be scarier.
18:07
>> Caroline,
18:08
>> the big buck teeth.
18:14
>> See, I told you we're going to go see
18:14
some leaves, but now we saw some
18:16
zombies.
18:22
All right. This is very close to the
18:22
zombie house. This one's good, too.
18:26
This is a little little more
18:27
illuminated.
18:29
I feel like the only thing the zombie
18:31
house I think it's like kind of tucked
18:32
away back there unless you accidentally
18:35
stumble on it or know it's back there.
18:37
You really don't see it till you come
18:39
like get right up on it.
18:42
Maybe that maybe that's on purpose.
18:44
Maybe they want to be like a little
18:45
hidden gem that people stumble on and
18:47
go, "What is this?
18:58
Got Leota there. Inflatable Leota. Some
18:58
skeletons. And then look up in the wind.
19:00
Look at the window up there. You got
19:01
Chucky and Tiffany.
19:08
And I'm not sure who that is. You know
19:08
who that is in that window?
19:09
>> It's a leprechaun.
19:11
>> The leprechaun.
19:18
I like this witch, too. I feel like one
19:18
thing my house is missing is the witch.
19:20
Oh, the lights turn. There she goes. I
19:22
feel like I don't have anything witchy
19:24
enough.
19:26
Oh, look at that, dude. There's a
19:27
gremlin.
19:29
Is that Spike?
19:31
How was his name? Spike, right? Or
19:32
Stripe? Stripe.
19:34
>> Stripe. That's got the red eyes.
19:47
That's cool. Good house.
19:47
>> All right, the leaves are going to fall
19:49
at 8:00.
19:56
>> Ban playing over here. There's also
19:56
plenty of little food stand options. I
19:58
might have to grab a bite to eat. A lot
20:00
of the booth stretch all the way down
20:01
here by the fountain. Also, all the
20:03
local restaurants down here have food on
20:06
their on the stands outside, so you
20:07
don't have to go inside the restaurant
20:10
themselves to order. or you can just
20:12
quick service like the Columbia
20:13
restaurant is one of them. Kind of
20:16
surprised they do not have the lights
20:17
the from the former theater here on the
20:19
spires of the celebration movie theater.
20:22
Even though they're not using as a movie
20:23
theater anymore, they don't have the the
20:25
lights on the spires on celebrating or
20:27
saying celebration.
20:30
All right, it's time.
21:14
It's fall officially. Fall in
21:14
celebration. The leaves are falling from
21:16
the sky.
21:19
It's happening. It's officially fall.
21:22
Look at the leaves have dropped. Look
21:24
like a tissue. But look at it. It's kind
21:28
of vomiting out of the pumpkin. Right.
21:32
Yeah. Right there. Look at that.
21:35
Falling from the heavens.
21:39
Look at that. Leaves everywhere you can
21:42
see for a few minutes.
21:49
That's it. That's it.
21:50
>> We did it. know what they
21:51
>> does. Someone go up there every hour to
21:53
put more leaves in.
21:56
>> Okay.
21:56
>> Oh, yeah. Look
21:58
>> behind the scenes.
22:01
>> That's how they do it. Loading the
22:03
leaves. So, it is Rocktoberfest. This is
22:05
called Rocktoberfest.
22:08

22:14
I'll get myself a broughtwurst. All
22:17

22:18

22:21

22:22
be on a bun. What'd you get?
22:24
>> Oh, I had pretzel bites. They're good.
22:25
I'm going to get the beef stick now.
22:27
>> I've never had pumpkin mac and cheese.
22:29
>> I haven't either. If you want to try
22:30

22:32

22:34
>> I wonder why they don't put the I don't

22:45
beef stro. I tried the
22:48
>> pumpkin mac and cheese and I got to say
22:51
