Welcome everyone. Adam the Woo here as
0:03
the recording of this Sunday, August
0:05
17th, 2025.
0:08
Just lounging here in my hotel, Long
0:11
Beach, California,
0:13
right down there. Midsummer stream is
0:15
happening. The last day of the biggest
0:19
and best horror convention,
0:22
not only in California, but across the
0:24
states, at least in my opinion. I have
0:28
been lacking sleep. Been staying up very
0:30
late, getting up really early for
0:33
whatever reason. Today is going to be a
0:35
fully caffeinated day. This is the last
0:39
moments of this con for 2025
0:43
and I'm going to head down there soon.
0:44
I'm inviting you to join me. Not sure
0:47
why I started the video right here on
0:49
this little little cushiony area, but I
0:53
did. Let's have myself a day. an
0:56
impromptu, unplanned day around Long
0:58
Beach and in the convention. Join me,
1:01
shall you? Yeah. We just nestled there
1:04
against those pillows. There's this
1:06
little
1:08
cushioned section here that you can lay
1:11
across. There are two beds here for
1:14
myself and Kevin who's sharing the room
1:16
with me. We each have our own our own
1:18
bed, but also we have occasionally sat
1:22
up on this little cushioned area which
1:25
is kind of nice at this hotel
1:26
overlooking
1:28
the convention center and
1:31
the Queen Mary off in the distance.
1:34
Doors open at 10:00 for us and we're
1:37
going to head down there shortly. I
1:39
definitely need a couple
1:42
cups of coffee. Maybe one's not enough.
1:45
I just uh I don't know what it is. It's
1:47
not jet lag. I mean, I do travel a lot
1:49
and bounce back and forth, but I think
1:51
staying up late and then being on
1:53
Florida time, waking up at 4 in the
1:55
morning, my body thinking it's 700 a.m.
1:57
in Florida, even though I'm going to bed
1:59
here post midnight,
2:02
4 hours of sleep each night isn't really
2:04
cutting it.
2:06
But it's got to got to get in midsummer.
2:10
Waited all year. It's here. It's the
2:12
last moments. And the Halloween Horror
2:15
Nights panel, the big one is happening
2:18
later. I think 5:00 p.m. It's the last
2:21
thing of the day. Let's get down there.
2:25
Let's get down there. I'm going to take
2:27
this bag back in. I got it yesterday at
2:29
the HHN booth. The Universal Monsters.
2:32
You got Frankie here, Dracula, the
2:34
Wolfman, the bride, the creature. Use
2:38
this to, you know, anything I purchase I
2:40
can throw in this little bag. They were
2:41
giving this away. So, I'm glad I got
2:43
that. Nice little nice little souvenir.
2:45
Bought a couple things yesterday,
2:47
including a tiki mug
2:50
for the event.
2:53
Definitely see the lines getting lengthy
2:55
down there. So grateful our hotel has
2:59
coffee. I'll show you a ridiculous hat.
3:03
Bam. Poor unleashed. It's supposed to be
3:05
a beanie. It's the most uncomfortable
3:07
beanie I've ever worn.
3:08
>> It's not a beanie. It's like a
3:10
>> What is it? It's like a potato sack.
3:12
>> I know. I don't know how you're supposed
3:13
to wear it on your head, but if there
3:14
was wind, I'd probably sail off.
3:16
>> You're going full jack today.
3:18
>> Hey, you know what? We're going to see
3:19
Murdy today. Adam's going to reunite
3:21

3:23
going to be great. It's the HHN day,
3:24
right? The panel. They're going to
3:26
announce stuff. Slash is going to
3:28
perform his new song, I bet.

3:32
cuz I am just so tired.
3:34
>> Okay. Uh good morning everybody. I'm I'm
3:36

3:59

What makes Terrifier a perfect candidate
22:19
for this year's Horror Nights at Horror
22:22
Nights and Horror Nights Orlando from
22:25
just just Warren 26608?
22:31
You know, we could answer that question
22:31
for you
22:33
>> or we could ask the guys who made the
22:36
movies. All right, let's [cheering]
22:37
bring the stage
22:41
director producer ter and the producer.
22:59
>> What's up everybody?
23:07
Welcome back.
23:08
>> Wow. So, what was that? What makes um
23:10
Terrafire a good candidate for HHN?
23:12
>> Yes. Why do you think Terrifier is a
23:13
good candidate for HHN?
23:15
>> Art the Clown,
23:20
>> you know, like that's really exciting
23:20
actually because on set we don't have
23:22
that relationship.
23:24
>> It's it's a different feel. You know, it
23:25
would be funny if we gave him real
23:27
weapons for when you come through.
23:29
>> What better way to go out, right? Artist
23:31
Lucas Culture. He's been doing these
23:33
illustrations for years. You guys know
23:35
his work. He's been doing it for years
23:36
and years and years. These are just some
23:38
of the iterations of art the clown
23:40
you're going to experience in the house
23:41
in Hollywood. We have our classic bloody
23:43
art. We have art after he's um scalped
23:45
the woman and is wearing the hair. We
23:47
have poopy art
23:50
and of course Santa art.
23:54
And then uh this is kind of a
23:56
combination of Orlando and Hollywood. A
23:58
kill from Terrifier One. What sick
24:02
person thought of up this particular
24:05
kill?
24:09
I wanted to see something I hadn't seen
24:09
in a movie before. [laughter] I had seen
24:12
that
24:14
all the time. You're like, "Well, but
24:16
should I think about what I'm wearing?
24:18
Should I bring a poncho?" You know,
24:20
>> bring it up.
24:21
>> And I'm just not going to answer it. I'm
24:22
sorry. You know, we just come check it
24:25
out and what happens happens.
24:28
>> Just go with it. Just go with it.
24:32
>> All right. So, we're going to do it, you
24:35
know, we're going to do that scene with
24:36
the with the bleach and, you know, and
24:40
the salt and the whole deal. Um, but
24:43
there's a twist.
24:45
Um, before you get there, you're going
24:47
to have to go through the scene we call
24:49
barrels of fun. Okay? Bleach barrels
24:52
stacked up either side of you. As you
24:55
start to walk through, you're going to
24:56
hear, you know, the Tommy gun going off.
24:59
the barrels are going to light up and
25:01
they're and we're pumping in the smell
25:03
of bleach and then you're going to get
25:05
showered in bleach for for 20 years. Um,
25:09
so this is him and his team, his art
25:11
department. Um, they've created that
25:13
entire, you know, Santa set. You're
25:16
going to you're going to go into
25:17
Christmas except all of the elves are,
25:19
you know, beheaded and disembowled and
25:22
their intestines are stringing the
25:24
Christmas trees.
25:26
So bad. [cheering]
25:28
If you thought The Exorcist believer
25:30
smelled bad, if you thought the bathroom
25:34
scene in Insidious with a kid puking
25:37
smelled bad,
25:40
>> these guys, you know, they did the work
25:42
for us. There in the first terror movie,
25:45
there's that scene in the pizza parlor.
25:48
I don't know if you would care to
25:49
explain to our our audience the
25:52
inspiration.
25:52
>> Explain yourself. Yes. Explain explain
25:54
what Art did in the bathroom. I I never
25:57
saw a slasher like take a [\h__\h] before,
25:59
so watched the movie and went through
26:02
it. What the hell is that in the sink?
26:05
It's got teeth. It's got eyes. It looks
26:07
like poop.
26:08
>> It is. It's a poop monster.
26:16
>> I can't wait to show you tomorrow. We're
26:16
going to take him, you know, we're going
26:17
to walk through the house tomorrow. And
26:19
uh my props team built that poop
26:23
monster. [cheering]
26:25
>> [applause]
26:26
>> But wait, there's more. I'm hearkening
26:30
back to the beginning of this panel when
26:33
we said by the pricking of my thumb
26:36
something this way comes. Do you want
26:39
some I mean you've been through all the
26:42
announcements at this point. Surely
26:43
couldn't be anything else we could
26:46
possibly announce. I mean with this
26:48
slate it's so stacked. What could we
26:50
what else could we possibly do for you
26:53
people?
26:53
>> Show us.
26:59
Well,
26:59
>> okay. I'm going to stand up for this.
27:02
>> So, you know Where's Waldo,
27:04
[clears throat] right?
27:05
>> I always thought it would be fun to do
27:07
Where's Waldo? Like in a theme park,
27:10
except instead of Waldo, it's Ark the
27:12
Clown.
27:15
>> So, as you're traversing,
27:17
if I may use that word,
27:18
>> you just did. I did. As you're
27:21
traversing the theme park, Art the Clown
27:25
is out there. Okay? I'm not going to
27:27
tell you where he is.
27:30
You might be in a store.
27:33
>> Yeah. You might be in a store and and
27:36
you might turn around and he might be
27:38
right behind you.
27:40
>> You could go down, you know, to the
27:41
Universal Plaza and plop down and go,
27:43
"Hey, it's time for a drink or it's time
27:44
for some food." And look across from you
27:46
and there's somebody just mad dogging
27:48
you,
27:50
right?
27:51
You could go down the starway down to
27:52
the lower lot of the park. He might be
27:54
down there, too. He could be anywhere.
27:58
So, what we're doing, and we're doing
28:00
this on both coast,
28:02
you know, it's awesome to have a
28:04
terrifier haunted house, but we weren't
28:06
satisfied with that. We were like,
28:08
aren't such an awesome character. He and
28:10
we really truly believe this guy's Damon
28:13
Phil. I mean, we grew up, Mike and I
28:15
grew up on Freddy, Jason, Leatherface,
28:17
Michael Myers. We were like smack dab in
28:19
the middle of the slashers. Um, and
28:22
there really hasn't been a worthy
28:23
slasher icon until RC came around in a
28:26
long, long time. And we want to pay
28:29
tribute to that as much as we possibly
28:32
can.
28:34
[cheering] So, as is tradition, I'm
28:37
going to give away um two express passes
28:39
to HHN in Hollywood um and a behind the
28:43
scenes tour of a house of mine shoes.
28:48
Don't yell it out cuz then I'm just
28:49
going to cancel the whole thing and I'll
28:51
take myself through a house.
28:52
>> Okay. Um,
28:55
>> what county in New York does Art the
28:57
Clown terrifying? The Terrier Fire film
28:59
series. Mike, you think somebody
29:00
firstand black shirt? Well, everyone's
29:03
wearing a black shirt. It's a horror
29:05
convention. Mike, uh, behind
29:09
>> Oh, God. You're looking at me right now.
29:11
You
29:13
>> No. No. Behind you. You.
29:15
>> Yes. Stand up.
29:17
>> Stand up. Stand up.
29:18
>> See, that's hard. THAT'S REALLY HARD TO
29:20
DO.
29:20
>> OKAY. Note to self, never ask Mike to do
29:22
this again.
29:23
>> No, I said I didn't want to do it.
29:24
>> I've done it for 10 years.
29:26
>> I think you did pretty good.
29:27
>> I've never done that.
29:28
>> Did Did you verify it as the right
29:30
person that you right there?
29:31
>> He's the first I saw.
29:32
>> Okay. What is What is it?
29:41
>> Nope.
29:41
>> Next one.
29:42
>> I got it again. What is the county in
29:45
New York?
29:48
>> Pick one right there.
29:49
>> Miles County.
29:51
>> And the answer is, wait for it.
29:54
Miles County, New York. All right.
29:59
So, Mario, there's it audience
30:01
participation time. Um, when you came in
30:04
today, I believe they gave you all uh an
30:07
Art the Clown mask.
30:10
>> You guys got it? We're going to we're
30:12
going to do a selfie. Okay.
30:15
>> So, I'm going to put this down so I
30:17
don't break anything. Um, we're going to
30:19
bring the lights up. Everybody hold the
30:21
art the clown in front of your face.
30:26
>> Do we have him too up here?
30:29
>> Somebody's bringing them up.
30:41
>> Here we go.
30:41
All right, Bill, that's for you. Damian,
