‘Fallout's Post-Apocalyptic Wasteland Heads To Halloween Horror Nights
Fallout is the first all-new experience announced for this year's Halloween Horror Nights. The haunted house inspired by Prime Video's acclaimed smash hit show will appear at both Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort – and tickets are now on sale.
The two-time Emmy-winning TV show, set in 2296, is itself based on an award-winning global video game franchise. For those not familiar with the premise, Fallout takes place two hundred years after a nuclear war destroyed civilization when all that is left is "a highly violent hellscape" known as The Wasteland which is inhabited by mutated animals and creatures, and people live underground in luxury fallout shelters or Vaults.
So, what's in store? The twisted minds that have previously delivered immersive experiences based on other hit shows, including Chucky and Stranger Things, promise that this terrifying seasonal attraction will place fans in iconic scenes and face-to-face with their favorite Fallout characters on a journey that begins beneath the surface in Vault 33.
From there, they will follow vault-dweller Lucy MacLean, played by Ella Purnell on the show, as she escapes a massacre "only to discover an evil hidden secret." Next, the bravest fans will head to the surface, facing attacks from desperate survivors "who will do anything to remain alive," known as Scavengers and Raiders. Also, expect mutated cockroaches.
Next, it's onwards to the Wasteland, which includes iconic locations like the Super Duper Mart as well as The Ghoul, aka Cooper Howard, played by Walton Goggins in the popular series. He's described as "an ageless bounty hunter who has endured radiation exposure for centuries." That's also where Maximus and his T-60 armor enter the picture. Promising "frightful terrors at every turn," Fallout is set to be extremely popular with fans of the game and the show alike.
The Fallout haunted house will be a perfect amuse-bouche for people hungry for the series' second season, which will drop on Prime Video in December—filming wrapped in early May. It has already been renewed for a third season as well.
It has been two years since Halloween Horror Nights featured an attraction based on a video game that has also become a popular TV adaptation. The last time was in 2023 when The Last of Us delivered high-scoring scares, but that was based on the game rather than the series it inspired.
A mecca for horror fans, the screaming starts at Universal Studios Hollywood when Halloween Horror Nights rolls out the blood-red carpet on Thursday, September 4, 2025. Killer chills and thrills kick off at Universal Orlando Resort on Friday, August 29, 2025. In addition to haunted houses, there will be scare zones and live shows at both locations, with more details to be revealed soon.
Both parks recently teased on social media that Blumhouse's Five Nights at Freddy's, based on another widely popular videogame IP that inspired a hit movie, will be coming Halloween Horror Nights in some form. The first Five Nights at Freddy's film, or FNAF as it is also known, grossed $291.49 million at the worldwide box office in 2023. The sequel will land in theaters on Friday, December 5, 2025.
Both Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando are on a roll right now. The California theme park recently celebrated a stellar inaugural run for Fan Fest Nights, which showcased immersive experiences for such iconic IPs as Back to the Future and Star Trek, while in Florida, the proverbial ribbon was cut in spectacular style for the groundbreaking Epic Universe, the location's first new theme park in 26 years.

Hulu's ‘Predator: Killer Of Killers' Lands Predator's Best Critic Score Ever
Predator: Killer of Killers Hulu seems to have developed a hobby in making amazing Predator movies that don't go anywhere near theaters. First it was Prey in 2022, now it's Predator: Killer of Killers from the same director, Dan Trachtenberg. This time around, Killer of Killers is animated, but that has unleashed the series to make an exceptional entry without spending $200 million on VFX. Rather, it's just gorgeously animated and written, and guess what? It's reviewed better than every single other movie in the series. Here's the full list, and how it stacks up: Predator Killer of Killers I mean, I know the Alien vs. Predator movies weren't good, but wow, those scores. I am also firmly okay with Trachtenberg's Killer of Killers and Prey being the top two rated Predator movies as I mean, they are the two best movie. I know it's hard to say that over the classic original, but I am willing to overlook nostalgia to examine which are literally better movies. And those two are. Killer of Killers follows three warriors from different periods in history set against different Predator variants, using the tools of their time to take them on before a larger-scale conflict that will merge all the stories. The fight scenes are absolutely insane, and the mini-stories that lead up to the end are fantastic. My only complaint is that I wish the last act was a bit longer. Prey I did like Prey better, personally. Killer of Killers very much does feel like that film in the sense that it's going through history and imagining different Predator battles past its modern day setting. But both are excellent. There is further good news here. Trachtenberg is also directing Predator: Badlands, which is out November 7, 2025, and will star Elle Fanning and is set on the Predators' homeworld. Fanning will play a Weyland-Yutani android, crossing over to the Alien universe yet again. It also will feature Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi as Dek, an outcast from his species and a good guy rather than bad. Clearly, this is Trachtenberg's lane. It's hard to imagine that Badlands will not deliver, given what we've seen here. Go and watch Predator: Killer of Killers on Hulu right now if you disagree.

Advocacy efforts by ASTA, ACTA take the stage at AMG's confab
ORLANDO -- "How many of you have had trouble collecting hotel commissions?" ASTA president and CEO Zane Kerby asked a room full of advisors at American Marketing Group's Travel Market 2025 here -- and throughout the room, advisors vocalized their agreement. "It's a big problem," Kerby said, "and it's something ASTA has taken very, very seriously." ASTA two years ago published a list of suppliers who pay commissions within 30 days of an advisor remitting payment. While he didn't provide further details, Kerby said ASTA is gearing up to take on the suppliers who aren't on that list. "We're going to really start calling out those people who do not pay commissions on time, because that's a problem for the industry," he said to applause. "It's a problem for you; it's a problem for us." Kerby was part of an on-stage discussion about advocacy alongside Wendy Paradis, president of the Association of Canadian Travel Agencies (ACTA). Kerby highlighted some of ASTA's other advocacy efforts of late, including its battle to repeal the rule requiring the merchant of record, in some cases agents, to refund airline passengers even if they don't possess the funds; a recently won tax battle in Nebraska; and a fight against a new 11% tax on bookings for cruises in Hawaiian waters. For Canadian agencies, a focus on tariffs In Canada, the No. 1 issue for travel agencies is the potential impact of tariffs implemented by the U.S., Paradis said. Right now, agencies are mostly in wait-and-see mode, but the implications of tariffs could be great. ACTA has done forecasting regarding tariffs and what would happen if they stayed in place, as is, for any length of time. For people to travel, they need to have jobs and disposable income, and if the tariffs sap jobs and income of Canadian advisors' clients, advisor business would be affected. "Should they stay in place, the impact on Ontario and Quebec, which are the largest travel industry provinces in Canada, is much worse than the pandemic," she said. But the effects would take "months and months to unfold," Paradis said. In the meantime, ACTA continues to advocate on behalf of Canada and the travel industry. Travel advisors working with an older clientele will likely fare better, she said: Baby Boomers are the largest group of travelers in Canada right now, and for the most part they are empty-nesters with paid-off mortgages. Millennials and Gen X travelers, by contrast, are likely less resilient.
