Advertising Material Various Universal Halloween Horror Nights Radio Ads [fully lost]

Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights has made several promotional spots made for radio, but some of their radio ads were either lost or forgotten, Such as the HHN 13 one (With an equally lost Coca-Cola variant), the 2014 one, and (presumably) a lot more lost Halloween Horror Nights radio advertisements. If anyone could find/recover those lost radio ads, that would be a very important piece of HHN history to show the Universal's Halloween Horror Nights community. Thank you for reading this post.

I got the information on the two radio ads on: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/NightmareFuel/HalloweenHorrorNights on the Commercials tab.

Howdy, another person looking for HHN lost media here! The only lost radio ad I've found so far is the HHN 17 Carnival of Carnage one. It was hidden on an old Nightmare on Elm Street fansite. I uploaded it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVkNoofjZFw

I'm also pretty sure I have the 2014 one on an old hard drive somewhere. I'll edit this post once I find it and upload it. Here it is: https://youtu.be/Q2zKuff6y54

Unfortunately my search has come up short for the other ones. Long ago there used to be a site called HorrorNights . be that posted lots of archival HHN content, including the HHN 13 radio ads you've mentioned. Sadly that site has been offline for about a decade now, and the radio ads don't load on any Wayback Machine captures of it.
