Well if they actually had done more than glare are you... it may have been a lot better. Also the lack of human characters and recognizable zombies. The sets were nice though..
I hope they learned from that this year. There is a lot of potential this year:
I can't recall a bad house in the Parade building.
There should be no light intrusion
The prison theme in itself is frightening enough in the dark with the music and low light with or without zombies.
They are putting all their eggs in the TWD basket so I would hope they would go all out on set design, costumes, etc.
