Michael Aiello is currently the Senior Director – Creative – Live Entertainment at Universal Creative and working on Universal’s Epic Universe theme park, but many fans know him as one of the masterminds behind Halloween Horror Nights for many years.

Before all of that, Aiello got his start with Universal Orlando Resort at Jaws: The Ride. So to bring, as he states in the video title, “a little bright spot in all this uncertainty,” he has recreated his time as a skipper with Captain Jake’s Amity Boat Tours from the comfort of his home.
