It had some funny moments, depending on the actors. It had little to no real info about horror makeup which was let down. Not something for repeat visits. - Skipper Adam

Great fun to watch for all ages. Belly laughs all the way through! - Peter Coulton

An excellent show, sadly overlooked by more than a few. Perfectly captures the original spirit of the park. - Man-Eating Sharks

Humorous fun. 7/10 - D H

Great Show! I had passed it up on previous visits, but I'm definatly gald that I stopped in this last time. The two host are hilarious! They do such a great job with improv jokes and interactiong with the audience volunteer! Show may be a little scary for younger guests, but its not as bad as you might imagine. As with most shows, if you see it once, you've seen it enough. But I might even consider seeing it twice because its pretty good. 8/10 - Bob Liebe

My dad brother and I love this show full of jokes and not really scary only the vids they show - Manny Rodriguez

The show didn't really explain much about the movie make-up. However, the host was quite funny. - Shari Lockyer

it's one of my favorite show's at Universal orlando expecially if u get a specific host who really makes the show his own and even has a special twist to it. - Anthony A

This show was actually funnier than I expected, and it was surprisingly up to date! 8/10 - Jorge Arnoldson

THis show is perfect. The two hosts are hilarious and give it a lot of personality. Don't miss it. I wouldn't recommend taking the kids though. It features some scares with gore and in the showing i attended, one of the hosts ripped his shirt open and revealed a bra underneath. not exactly a nice image for kids. - Jose Gabriel

This is a really great show! A movie studios park needs something like this that actually teaches you about what they do in the idustry. And the way they present it, with humor, and gore, is perfect. - David Garey

This is one of the BEST shows at any park in Florida I think. Don't be put off by the name, as this show is funny, original and interesting too! - Samantha McCrae

A neat little show. Entertaining for newcomers and returing guests alike. The spiel grows old after the first time, but the 2 hosts are what make this show tolerable. Good if you've run out of things to do, need to rest your feet, or if it's raining outside. Not really worth repeated viewings unless you REALLY love it. 6/10 - Dan Huffman
