This is it. This is the final episode of IOACentral Radio, ever. What better way to end the show than to pick up where we all pretty much met? We are at Halloween Horror Nights speaking with The AMAZING Mike Aiello. We talk about how to get the most of your Horror Nights Experience, and also talk with Mike about his involvement with Bill and Ted, as well as the other houses, and of course with his involvement on the Thing:Assimilation. Truly the way we want to go out, having fun, and talking about the things we love.

Thank you all very much for allowing me to do the show, and even more for listening. Its been one hell of a ride. Special thanks to Universal for having us one last time. Also thank you to all the parks who have let us come through their gates and took the time to speak with a bunch of nerds who just love parks. We've made a great bunch of friends, whether it be with listeners, readers of the various boards, or other sites and podcasts. Its been great.

I'll miss the show, and all of you. Thanks again.

We take a look at Howl O Scream in Tampa, complete with a look at BGT's newest house Catch Your Breath, with the scream cam hooked right to my head.

On a side note, there will be one last episode of IOACentral Radio. After 51 episodes, we've decided to call it quits. But dont fear, we have a great last show planned, as well as some news on a future project coming soon.

This week on IOACentral Radio you get to see us in the flesh! Our first real video podcast from Opening Scaremonies at Halloween Horror Nights. Now we cant show you in the houses, or all the shows, but what we have is some clips and vids, and our normal podcast thing. The video is a little rough as it wasnt shot with anything but my little camera, Pepe. So we hope you enjoy it, and go and check out HHN for yourselves.

Just when you think all the Halloween Horror Nights Madness cant get any heavier, we kick it up just one more notch.

With all the interviews we've done, I always jump at a chance to talk with J. Michael Roddy. Sure we love talking with all our guests, but Roddy is just kind of, well, special. He's really just like us, he loves horror, he loves movies, and he loves to geek out. And on top of all that, he does a lot of writing for the HHN shows at Universal. So naturally we love to talk to him every chance we get.

This week, as a little extra, we were able to participate in a conference call with Roddy, as well as one of the Featured Performers of the Freak Show, Brian Brushwood. They talk about not only the Freak Show, but all of the shows including Bill and Ted and The Rocky Horror Tribute.

Halloween Horror Nights starts next week. The anticipation is at a fever pitch. All you have to do is wait one more week until you can get your fill of all the oozy gorey goodness. This week however, IOACentral Radio is going to take a step away from the theme parks and look at an institution that really helped to save Universal Studios. We're talking this week about horror films. We compare Classic Horror (Monsters, Pyscho, etc.) to Modern Horror(Saw, Hostel, Torture). To help us do that we enlist the help of the cast from a classic Universal Monster Movie. Our two guests starred in a film over 50 years ago that helped shape horror the way it is today.

Plus we ask Bsquare what he thinks, and more on this weeks episode of IOACentral Radio.

Everyone knows about Hidden Mickey's at Disney. They have whole books telling you where the Mickey's are. But what about Universal? They dont have any hidden icon heads of there own, but there is a whole other world of hidden items, and extra details at both Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. Everything from sounds, to sights to small attractions within attractions. This week on IOACentral Radio we are back and we are diving into the world hidden around Universal Orlando. We also have an interview with the heads of New Line Cinema, and Universal Orlando about the marriage of New Lines masters of terror, and Halloween Horror Nights. Information about Busch Gardens Tampa's brand new area coming to the park Spring of 2008, Jungala,and we even stop to "Ask BSquare" a question. All this and more on this weeks edition of IOACentral Radio.

The season is over, but that doesnt mean that the theme park world stops. As you may know Halloween Horror Nights is creeping upon us, and they have announced one of the houses based on John Carpenters The Thing. We have the press conference with TJ Mannarino and Michael Bernet. Sure you could read about it, but you might miss something. Enjoy!
