Merchandise team members have no say or knowledge in what is re-ordered; They don't know for sure. Keep checking back in the stores.

More Coming Soon...
Houses
Thir13en Ghosts (Soundstage)
Based off the movie.
1692: The Witches of Salem (Soundstage)
Stephen King presents: Tales of Terror (Soundstage)
For the first time, step into some of the most terrifying stories ever written. You'll walk through the hedge maze outside The Overlook Hotel before you find yourself running through the Pet Cemetery. You'll come face to face with The Man in the Black Suit along with scenes from Salem's Lot, 1408, Misery, IT, and The Children of the Corn.
Living Dead (Disaster Overflow Queue)
Ever since the zombies took over, the uninfected found refuge in a local mega-store. For months they've survived off the stores products, but now the supplies are running out and the zombies are getting in.
Scarezones
Fog (New York Streets)
They're not sure where it came from. They're not sure when it came. The only thing they know for sure is that there is something in the fog.
Havoc: Unleashed (Shrek Alley)
Two years ago the Shadowcreek Enterprise was taken over by a group of test subjects involved with the HAVOC project. The lone survivor of the rampage narrowly escaped in a military storage van. It's contents: the remaining doses of the HAVOC inhalant.
Restless Remains (Central Park)
Make your way through this forgotten cemetery, but beware: it's inhabitants stalk your every move.

I'm leaving now and can happily say that tonight was almost a complete 180. Still not the best year, but definitely better.
Forsaken 7/10 - a lot more actors, less lighting improved the masks, few good scares.
Nevermore 11/10 (amazing-ER) - noticed more actors, love how the Poes get drunker and crazier throughout the house. I got the greatest scare I've ever had. Ever. in this house tonight.
Winters Night 8/10 - such an improvement. Lighting seemed better and again, a lot more actors. Some very good scares.
Nightingales 9/10 - sooo good. Amazing scares, once more: more actors.
Nightmaze 5/10 - more actors, couple of startles.
Grown Evil 7/10 - actors really know how to work with their wings.
Canyon 6/10 - little less fog, more light. Much better.
Luck 4/10
7 8/10
-
Canyon: The fog ruins any chance of visibility. Skulls with tusks
I think that might be the whole point.. lol
To the point where everytime I walked through, other guests were bumping into me, I was bumping into them, scare actors were bumping into each other.
I'm not telling anyone not to go. I was posting my opinion on the event. I don't understand why everyone's getting so butthurt. Calm down.

I will make this as simple as possible. I was very excited for the event and I understand that last night was a 'technical rehearsal', however, the event can only get so much better.
Overall, this is my least favorite year.
Houses:
Winter's Night: Cool facade, nice sets, short house, no scares. 5/10
HR Bloodengutz/Holidays: Wasn't really impressed with anything. No scares
Smelled good in the Thanksgiving room, though. Arbor day?
3/10
The Thing: The facade was nice but I think I saw 3 scare actors in the house. The monsters in the 2007 house were much better. 4/10
Nightingales: Neat costumes, a few scares, intense actors, awesome sets. 8/10
Nevermore: I will admit, this is the best house I have ever seen at HHN. 10/10
The In-Between: A scare or two, disorienting sets. 6/10
The Forsaken: Nice sets, way to short. The masks completely ruin this house. 5/10
Saws N Steam: Exactly what you'd expect. 3/10
--
'Scare'zones:
7: Interesting zone. Had a scare or two in here. Creative costuming. 6/10
Grown Evil: Neat costumes. 5/10
Canyon: The fog ruins any chance of visibility. Skulls with tusks. 2/10
Acid Assault: The projectors look cool from a far distance. The zone is way too open with not enough actors. 4/10
Luck: Kinda ruins it when you can see four lady lucks (pretty ones) at the same time. Cheesy masks. 3/10
Nightmaze: Not one scare, or actor really. They spend all their time moving fences. This zone literally cost $0.00. 1/10
I skipped the Drum show, but saw it from a distance.
Bill & Ted wasn't great. Had a moment or two, but nothing special. Literally NO storyline. Also, can we not harp on
Osama Bin Laden
. It was very tasteless and somewhat racist. 3/10

You, sir, are probably going to lose your job.
Ok went to rehearsal for Forsaken last night and my scene is overwhelming. To answer some ppls questions YES there is water effects! By god there is water effects and so much more. At the beginning if running through the house getting explanation of the rooms and the story, they got better and better by the minute. The scene im in all im gunna say is this: Courtyard. Give you that to think about how that run will BLOW YOU AWAY!! The costumes are sick as hell and i'm completely STOKED to start working NOW!!! Gunna add that won't tell of my actual position in here till after employee preview so it doesnt spoil anything about this room

their gonna be dressed up like whores! yes
It's my understanding that the 'minions' are most (if not all) males.
-
Not sure what to think of 7 construction. So each "sin" gets their own mini stage? WTF! How is this going to be a scare zone? I hope they only go up there for a bit and come down. That and I hope to see a a lot more than 7 scare actors per set.
Each girl/sin has their own vignette. They will probably spend a majority of their set on the stage, but each girl will also have minions roaming the street.
-
old news. Saws and Steam does, too.
-
Normally, it's released a week or two before opening night to accommodate any changes that might be made.
-
They set up a stage in mels it could be for rock the universe but why not use the stage near HRRR? Interesting.
Multiple artists play RTU.

Joe Calderone was around before the VMA's. I'd say it's possible.
-
I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but:
Does anyone else think that the park (or at least one scarezone) will be the house of cards from the game? I could see Shrek becoming a house of cards maze.
Basically something like this:
The swinging fences could be arranged into the maze as the park closes and then returned to their folded position after each event night, as not to interfere with daytime guests.

I think it's pretty much confirmed the full site update will be on September 1st. Universal put it on their Facebook page.
They wrote that on the Facebook page that 118,984+ people "like". I wouldn't be surprised if the site is "fully updated" before then to work out bugs, errors, crashes, etc..

You should have seen the expression on my husband's face when his cats disappeared!
Was your Cat/Dog bound with mardi gras beads and then returned later on in the house?

On the website "Express Access Dates" is not bold. Frequent Fear Pass with Halloween Horror Nights Express Access appears to be the name of the pass.

Chainsaw/Triangle of Death after Red Plastic Sheets [RPS is called Time Out]
...would you happen to be in that room on cast B? Lunchbox? Is this a terrible coincidence?
Also, for everyone who keeps wondering why we had to shave our heads, have you still not noticed we have giant bar code UPC tattoos on the left side of our heads. Look for them next time you come through.
