Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights has been serving up high-quality scares for decades. The fright-inducing Halloween event opened its 34th season on August 29 and just keeps getting better. Case in point: this year’s haunted house lineup, which includes scary walkthrough experiences based on popular intellectual properties like Prime Video’s Fallout TV series, the Five Nights at Freddy’s movie, and one of this writer’s favorite horror movie franchises, Damien Leone’s Terrifier.

As a parent of teenagers, I often worry about the ramifications of raising my kids in a world filled with influencers, social media, and extreme oversharing. Gabby Petito, who was just 22 when killed by her boyfriend, Brian Laundrie, in 2021, was among the first generations to grow up watching YouTube and counting “likes” on social posts, but I didn’t know that part of her story when news first broke of her disappearance and, later, murder, several years ago.
