## Resource

Happy new years, boys and ghouls! Undead Ed is joined by the latest escapee from Hawkin's National Laboratory, Aleven, to discuss what's been on everyone's mind this holiday season - the 2026 Halloween Horror Nights lineup at Universal Studios Hollywood. With a new Holiday Speculation map dropping from Horror Nights Insiders, it's time to take another look at our initial speculation, with a few big surprises. Are Art, Pennywise, Hollywood Harry, and Jack going to make 2026 the Year of the Clown? Are we doomed to forever wander through yet another Latin Monsters maze in Universal Plaza year after year? Will Ed and Al regret their fervent promises of Stranger Things 5 coming to Horror Nights? You'll need to listen to find out. But stay tuned after the speculation to hear our New Years Resolutions, both for ourselves, for Horror Nights, and for Universal Studios. It's all happening - now, now, now!
