Wicked Thrill Seekers | Pao and Joaq

Hi 🤍 We’ve gotten quite a few messages lately asking where we’ve been, so we wanted to check in.

As you’ve noticed, we’ve taken some time away from YouTube.

We’ll be completely honest, this summer hit us harder than we expected, and we burnt out. Making longer videos started feeling like something we were forcing ourselves to do instead of something we were genuinely excited about.

We’ve always been very open about mental health and the importance of protecting it. We realized we needed to step away for a bit rather than pretend everything was fine for the sake of pushing through.

Right now, we’re figuring out what we want our channel to look like moving forward. We love the community we’ve built here and being able to bring you along on our adventures, but we also aren't forcing ourselves back before we’re ready simply because we feel like we’re supposed to.

We’re still here, though. And most importantly, we’re okay.

If you want to stay in touch with us in the meantime, we’ve remained active over on Instagram at @wickedthrillseekers.

And to everyone who has reached out or wondered where we’ve been, it has meant more than you realize. Thank you for thinking of us.

And thank you for continuing to be here.

— Pao & Joaq

Join me in wishing a HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my partner in crime, PAO!! 👑🎈

Where would I be without my wicked ride-or-die (and her 17 personalities)? Probably less grey hair, but also living an incredibly boring life.

🍻 To Pao — and all her type-A no sleep let’s go on a 7-mile hike and make it back in time for HHN energy.

(And in case you’re wondering. In true Pao fashion, I show her photos I want to post — and of course she made this fancy carousel at 2am. Apparently the kids don’t just post regular photos nowadays.)

- Joaq 🤘

🎈🎂

How are you feeling about Stranger Things 5 officially coming to Halloween Horror Nights?! 😶‍🌫️

We think there's potential here -- but right now more than anything, we are just SO excited to finally see more announcements roll in!

Can't wait to see what the rest of announcement season has in store!

It is officially Summerween and Spirit Halloween sent us something SPOOKY to celebrate! 🎃

You can check out the short-video we did for this unboxing on our instagram: www.instagram.com/p/DZn0XXyTPD-/

If you love Spirit Halloween as much as we do, then you know its stores do a whole new entrance re-theme every season, and this year we will be entering Camp Harbor Lake!

We LOVE a good camp slasher and cannot wait to see Spirit Halloween decked out in all its camp-horror glory, but we do come with a bit of a warning.

Jack the Reaper always lurking. 💀🪓

Thank you ‪@spirithalloween‬ for sending us an awesome package. We can’t wait to celebrate Halloween season with you!

🏕️🪓💀

Summer feels like it’s in full swing, fam! 🙌 We hope you’re enjoying it so far.

Things have been a little quieter around here for us. We’ve had a lot happening behind the scenes between fun personal life moments and a few projects focused on short-form content commitments that have taken up the time we’d normally spend filming and editing longer videos.

We’re excited to get back to sharing more adventures with you very soon and can’t wait to bring you along for what’s next.

In the meantime (and in case you don’t follow us on Instagram), here are a few snapshots from some of the moments we’ve been celebrating while we’ve been away!

🤍🤘

SINNERS is one of the most important haunted houses Halloween Horror Nights has ever taken on. 🪕🩸

In case you missed it -- our latest episode dives into the significance of this IP and how it pushes the event into a new era.

If there's one HHN video you watch from us all season -- let it be this one.

Thanks for tuning in!

How hyped are you that SINNERS is officially coming to Halloween Horror Nights?! 😶‍🌫️

Last year we had the awesome opportunity to be invited out by Warner Bros. to see an advance screening of Sinners before it officially hit theatres.

The MINUTE those credits rolled and the lights turned back on, we KNEW this movie would crush it as an HHN house if it ever made its way to the event -- and now it is!

We are so excited to see Sinners come to life this season at HHN Orlando and Hollywood and cannot wait to see what the mastermind creatives at both parks have cooked up for us!

How do you feel about today's announcement?

Can you believe Joaq had NEVER been to EPCOT? 😧

NEW VIDEO: https://youtu.be/wHL15k492DY

Join us for our first time EVER at Disney World's Epcot together! In this episode we're asking 3 very important questions:

1. How does this park stack up with all the other Orlando theme parks we love so much?

2. Does Epcot live up to the hype EVERYONE gives it?

3. Does it really deserve its reputation as one of the best theme parks for adults?

Let us know, what is your favorite thing about EPCOT?

🤘
