The not so scary idea for IOA doesn't sound like a bad idea honestly. But I think Disney has that market locked down.

I agree with EVERYTHING you wrote. My review (posted) has additional comments on this. But what's interesting is that we're starting to see older fans of the event genuinely speak up and worry about its direction, and more importantly acknowledge that HOS, with a much tighter budget, is doing (arguably) better work. I loved HOS.

We became such good friends with some people in front of us in line that we all hung out for the rest of the night and met up at The Magic Kingdom a few days later to go on some rides and have lunch.

Can you ask for that? HELL NO. Can you come to a turn and pretend to be lost and give yourself a buffer in the house? Yes. Regarding the line...if you want to try to force a break in front of you...stop and tie your shoe and try to encourage them to break the line. But if someone behind you kicks your ass, you brought it upon yourself.

This is a topic of much contemplation for me. I'm not trying to sound like a prick, but, she CHOSE to go to the event and she has to live with the consequences. To me, if there's a chance you're going to have that happen, it's unfair to everyone involved: the worker now has (to try) to help, your whole group has to deal with your panic attack and try to calm you down after leaving, the people behind you are now going to get held up as your situation is handled, the scare actor who did this to you probably feels QUITE guilty, and most of all, it's unfair to yourself! to put yourself through a massive panic attack isn't ok, your body does not need that stress, so to put yourself through that just so you can go with your friends is a terrible idea. This is coming from somebody who often has panic attacks and, from time to time, they are quite extreme (physical scares don't cause them, it's more of a mental thing for me.) BUT, there IS one group of people who should feel horrible for her having this panic attack and that group of people is her (neglecting) friend(s) that talked her into going to hhn, because I guarantee it wasn't her idea in the first place. All I'm saying is, if I were you, I wouldn't feel bad at all (though I understand why you do.) I would simply have been very judgmental of the people she chose as friends? I for one can say that if my friends brought somewhere, knowing that it was likely I'd have panic, they wouldn't be my friends much longer. Sorry for the rant, but this is a common thing that happens at hhn and it aggravates me.

No, the way they're doing it is absolutely perfect. They're following the opening of the movie, you are Michael walking around his house on Halloween night as he goes to investigate what's going on with his sister and her boyfriend. It is the PERFECT way to open for multiple reasons. 1. It is one of the most important/recognizeable shots in horror history. 2. The shot sets up the psychological/sexual battle that is carried out through the duration of the movie. And it provides the setting for a flawless example of what a slasher film is truly about. If Mike and the rest of A&D wanted to, they could display this deeper meaning throughout the entire house (by what you saw and what the scares were) but I'm not sure that they'd want to take all that time for something that not many of the die hard hhn fans would even notice, even if it is a passion project. Mike made the entrance where it is because it IS his passion project and he understands the importance of that opening shot. Despite how cool it would be to walk through the front of the house, that isn't how it was in the movie and it simply would not have been half as good of a shot because you wouldn't get the ability to look into the house and see michael's sister and her boyfriend fooling around before they head upstairs. You have to walk in his footsteps, it's the only chance you'll get to do so, so you might as well copy his actions as closely as possible to make it as similar to the movie as possible. Somebody that doesn't appreciate the thought involved in every aspect of this house, doesn't deserve to go through it. Just pay attention as you go through, no matter how closely you look, you'll miss something special.
