i'm sorry this is off-topic, but i just wanted to address this since everyone here has been so helpful & encouraging. unfortunately, there's not much for me to review. we did TWD first when it was still very much light outside & i was terrified. i was literally holding 2 hands through the entire house & trembling. it took 2 drinks for me to calm back down & i sat out the rest of the houses. i was disappointed - i had hoped i would react better than that when i was actually in the houses and i really wanted to see what the universal team was able to do with these themes/spaces. i heard the review back from my group after this one & they loved it. thought the theming & execution was amazing.

foREVer56 - you made my night! i've been reading through this forum for days, trying to piece together things from people's & the invididual houses' reviews, and that was exactly what i was looking for!!! i've been torn about this for years....i'm definitely intrigued by the set-building & artistry that goes into the event, but my scaredy-cat side has always won out. i do scare very easily & have always assumed HHN would be too intense for me. long story short, my baby brother (just back from afghanistan) arrives tonight for a visit & this is the ONE thing he wanted to do while here....and i just didn't have the heart to say no. so now i'm trying to summon my courage!

i know i'm about to sound super lame, but is there a place where i can get a spoiler-full, comprehensive review of this house? long story short, this is my first visit to HHN & i'm terrified! i'd rather be prepared than surprised by this experience....any advice?

i'm going to my first HHN event on thursday - 10/18 - would you guys suggest the same touring plan? i'll be in a group of 6, stay & scream is not an option and we're not currently planning on buying express passes.

sorry if this is an obvious question, but what's considered a peak night? i'm guessing that the closer you get to halloween, the busier it will be...any ideas about what to expect on thursday night (10/18)?
