Final HHN Hollywood 2026 Update

Why hello everyone.

Hello, hello, hello.

For anyone that does not know me, I'm gonna introduce myself in just a moment.

But for anyone that has been following me on YouTube for a long time, or anyone that's listened to me on Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music Podcasts, or Podbean.com, welcome back.

And this is a brand-new video/podcast for you guys that have been following me for a long time.

But for anyone that's just found this video on YouTube or listening to my podcast for the first time, welcome.

My name is James, better known as JimmyPancakes20, and welcome to the JimmyPancakes20 Show.

Today is Thursday, August 27th, 2026, and we are getting around to doing our final HHN Hollywood final update video because one week from today, next Thursday, is the official opening night of Halloween Horror Nights Hollywood.

Orlando has already opened, but next Thursday, August thir- sorry, next Thursday, September 3rd, 2026, is the official opening night.

And of course, I will be there with my co-host, which I'm gonna introduce in just a moment.

Um, and really quick before we get into this, before we get into the major video/podcast, I wanted to let you guys know that originally this video was supposed to come out last Friday, and then this week was supposed to be the, uh, Knott's Scary Farm 2025 review video/podcast, talking about the mazes I went through last year at Knott's Scary Farm.

And then also the Knott's Scary Farm 2026 full lineup, talking about everything that is returning as well as the two brand-new mazes.

Those videos are coming out, um, those videos will be coming out before opening night of Halloween Horror Nights.

So those videos will be out before opening of Halloween Horror Nights.

Uh, what happened is as soon as I put the Midsummer Scream review video out, um, that Friday up until now, I had some stuff that I needed to do, but finally I have around to get those videos out for you, so I apologize for anyone if you were expecting those videos sooner.

But as I said, um, you know, I have-- I do this all by myself.

I don't have a team behind me and, um, and just some things happened, and I didn't have time to post about it.

And the things that, the things that I was doing I could not talk about on any of my social media sites.

So now you guys know what happened.

So, uh, so, you know, I try to update for you guys as much as I can, but sometimes things I cannot say on social media.

So I wanted to get that squared out of the way.

So just to let you guys know, today this video is coming out, this video/podcast, and then before opening night of Halloween Horror Nights, which is next Thursday, the Knott's Scary Farm video/podcast of my review of 2025 will be out, and the full lineup for this year's Knott's Scary Farm 2006 video/podcast will also be coming out as well.

So just wanted to get that out of the way before we s- got into the main topic of this video/podcast.

So ladies and gentlemen, uh, welcome me and my co-host, uh, you know her, you love her, my mom, Marsha.

So Mom, say hello.

Hello, everybody.

So Mom, are you ready to talk about the final HHN Hollywood update video? I can't believe we got to this point.

We've done update videos throughout the year, and we're finally at the final update video for this year, and next week is the opening night of Halloween Horror Nights.

[coughs] Isn't that amazing?

That is amazing.

Um, I can't wait.

All the mazes are gonna be great this year.

So I cannot wait to go, James.

Right.

All right, guys.

Welcome to the JimmyPancakes20 show, uh, video/podcast, talking about the final HHN Hollywood 2026 final update.

So let's get started.
