Horror Make-up Show
On December 31st, 2019, my family and I had gone to Universal Studios in Orlando
While there, we attended the Horror Make-Up Show, which showed horror special effects
throughout time. Upon arriving to the theatre, the marque above the entrance had the title of the
show and gave a retro theatre kind of vibe. They had a popcorn stand right outside, so the smell
of popcorn wafted into the surrounding area to draw people in for the show. The doors were
already open and there were about 50 people already inside and in their seats, leaving mostly the
top rows left. My family and I took a seat on the top left, close to the doors. The stage area had
about 7 head molds with prosthetics on them, as well as a few limbs and a container of fake
blood laying on a table. Once the show started, a woman came out and introduced herself to the
crowd as Jenny and she invited Mike to the stage as well. They brought the audience through the
history of horror effects through some video clips and then explained how this makeup and
prosthetics are done. The show was quite interactive, calling up volunteers frequently, so there
was no issues keeping the audience on the edge of their seats. There was a lot of horror movie
tricks that were taught throughout this show, which caught the attention and interest of the adults
but the children really were not fans of the show, getting squeamish despite it being fake.

swarmed with people among our arrival. He and I grabbed some food first, so I smelt thei
barbeque for most of the game. We sat in section 327, row F, and seats 8 and 9. This was pretty
high up so we didn't have the best view. The crowd was rowdy, full of cheers and chants. The
game ended up being incredibly eventful, the Lightning scored 6 goals just in the second period
and 9 goals total, this is the most they've ever scored in a game. Carter Verhaeghe, who is a
player on the Lightning, was able to perform a hat trick which is when one player makes three
goals in one game that results in the crowd tossing their hats onto the ice. Since we were so high
up, my dad didn't end up tossing his hat, although we loved seeing the number of hats that ended
up on the ice. I also didn't know that at the team shop they have 50% of new hats when a hat
trick happens, so that was interesting. There was a lot of team morale, the Lightning players were
all very supportive to one another as well as the crowd was all in this together and celebrated the
team's victories. Despite the team morale of the Lightning being a great sight, the crow
