Did you enjoy your butt vibrator?

If house ops hassle you for walking slow, just say you have bad back/knee/whatever issues....I say that and they back off...if I acknowledge them at all when they start flashlighting

That area of the machine is always left open...that's where we put the body parts we collect to be rendered by the machine. It's left open so we can go up and grab body parts to assist with our scares...usually there's someone over there keeping an eye on it....

@alone....ghost in the floor was in the first hallway after you entered the house and living chair was about halfway through...you go into a hall/room with a whole bunch of equipment set up and there's a chair there near the end of the room that is the living chair @Fallow, great review...your problems with Hallow'd Past were the same that I felt...I was like BC needs to be '05 reference and they needed like original DoT and RUN in there...would have been nice to experience a taste of other houses from way back when...not most from '08 (which was a great year, but I wanted like really classic rooms in there hehe)

kewl BC...thanks! amazing pictures as usual!!! I agree...those photos of Jack are incredible!

So yeah I had to share this...one of my cast mates and I were in a photo with Gloria Estefan last night....here's the pic from Universal's website/FB

why thank ya and thank ya for taking the time to read it too!

Okay, so I know that you would never do anything with the knife or the mace, but the fact that they saw that you had it and they did nothing to have you check them seriously scares me. Makes me wonder how often stuff like that gets through in this manner....those security members should have been fired right then. The last thing I have to worry about out there is someone pulling a weapon on me when I go to scare someone. Thank you for mentioning that on the survey...hopefully it has been corrected. Glad you are enjoying the event!

So I went on 10/8/10 and had a BLAST! Came with a group of friends and we were able to do everything except for the magic shows. So I'll start from the beginning Warning: Spoilers ahead. View at your own risk. Legendary Truth- This was my most anticipated house and I loved it. Going into the soundstage, I made sure to walk very slow so nobody would be in front of me and by the time we got up into the house, there was nobody in front of me The effects in this house are very very cool. Loved the guy in the floor and seeing the woman fly by through the wall. Having some of the actors on rollers worked perfectly, matching with a good eprom made for some wicked effects. Not really a whole lot of scares here, but was really cool. Scare factor: 3/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 Overall: 4/5 Hades- Great facade walking into the mouth of Hades. Only complaint about this house was all the stuff hanging from the ceiling. Got a HUGE scare from the first Medusa, and the first Cyclops and the Minotaur rock the house! Great looking house and great scares in here. Awesome cast energy. Scare Factor: 4/5 Atmostphere: 5/5 Overall: 4.5/5 Psychoscarepy- I've been waiting for a good scary run through a Psychoscarepy. I mean, this was a cool house, and the opening cast had a lot of energy, but some of the scares were a bit predictable. The hand hallway was cool, but was a little to easy to spot the real ones. My friends really liked this house and got some good scares. Scare Factor: 2/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 Overall: 3/5 We then went over to see my saw brothers come out to New Yorkshire. I am going to give a review based on the reactions of my friends. Saws n' Steam All my guys were ROCKING that night. Was cool to see everyone at work while not working myself. I went around telling them my friend's name and so he was tortured through the entire zone. All the guys had so much energy, and there were screams everywhere. The alley is an amazing part of the zone. The Machinists in the alley scared the hell out of my friends and were rockin! This was the unanimous favorite zone of the night. Scare Factor: 5/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 Overall: 5/5 Zombiegeddon: Queue video is awesome... loved the humor in here and the zombies are awesome didn't really get scared in here, but had a lot of fun. Scare Factor: 3/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 Overall: 4/5 Zombie Gras Feet don't fail me now! Why all the hating of this zone? It rocks!!! The actors are great at sneaking up on people and great at the creep out scares. Person on the float is funny to watch. Very very close 2nd favorite zone Scare Factor: 5/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 Overall 5/5 Orfanage: Amazing ambiance in here. absolutely perfect atmosphere. The girls playing Cindy were great! Once again didn't get any scares in here, but was a good house all the same. I feel for all the actors in here because the Jaws queue is brutal to work. Scare Factor: 2/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 Overall: 3/5 Hallow'd Past: Lots of cool stuff to look at in here....saw my old Jason costume, and was nice to see Alpha from last year (who scared the shit out of my friend with a great statue scare) was nice to see tributes to past horror nights, but wish they would have had some different choices in rooms...I'm surprised there wasn't a room based on the original Dungeon of Terror, or the original People Under the Stairs...some of those that put the event on the map. cool house though Scare Factor: 3/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 Overall: 4/5 Catacombs: WOW! This is a tent house?!?!?! The sets in here were amazing! and the actors in here had great hiding spots. Wish it would have been a tiny bit darker, but I'm sure with it being lighter it makes it easier for the Doctors to see. Their costumes were awesome. They had great energy and scared me several times. In one of my top of all time list. Scare Factor: 5/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 Overall 5/5 Havoc: Could it be, another INCREDIBLE tent house which has made it into my top of all time?! My personal favorite of the event. The energy from the cast was absolutely INSANE. The cast makes this house as amazing as it is. Nothing overly fancy as far as effects go, but damn it doesn't need it. Bravo to the casts....fucking BRILLIANT Scare Factor: 6/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 Overall: 6/5 Next up was Bill and Ted... Okay, so I don't know what the major problem with this year's B&T was. Bad year for pop culture? Bad writing? Bad Character useage? All of the above? Justin Bieber? Jersey Shore? really???? I was sad that this year I really felt like B&T was a waste of time 1/5 Fear Revealed: Cool seeing all the icons. Just a big photo op. Wish fear was a more menacing upper body, but I know there are weight restriction on the stilts so it is what it is...looked cool though Scare Factor: 2/5 Atmosphere: 4/5 Overall: 3/5 20 Years of Fear: Once again, nice blast from the past. Was nice seeing my friend Mr Wolf in action, and seeing Alpha out there lurking. Chucky came in for a great scare attempt but I saw him too early...if I hadn't looked that way he woulda gotten me good Scare Factor: 3/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 Overall: 4/5 Esqueleto Muerte: Awesome looking zone, not much energy from what I saw. Creepy. Costumes looked amazing in the black light. Scare Factor: 2/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 Overall: 3/5 The Coven: Saw on of the witches in a hut send a guy screaming and running all the way to Fear Revealed. Laughed my ass off at that. Great cast. Great atmosphere. Scare Factor: 2/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 Overall: 3/5 Overall event score: 90/100 Has some flaws but is a great year. Everything is solid aside from Bill and Ted

Honestly the wedding won't affect your visit at all. It's for a limited number of guests before everything opens. The correctional kids are going to Very watched like hawks if they are there so they won't be a big problem. The worst is the little school bastards who have Friday off. Away from mommy and daddy they like to try shit. If you encounter a problem with any of them, find the nearest security, OPD officer or team member in a black shirt wearing a glow stick and they'll take care of them hope you have fun!

Though if they are there on Friday, I'm sure they're going to be watched like hawks and be on their best behavior so I wouldn't worry about it. I'm certainly not. I'm more concerned about UCF night

Where did you hear this?

Houses 1.Havoc 2.Catacombs 3. Hades 4. LT 5. Zombiegeddon 6. Hallow'd 7. Orfanage 8. PS Streets 1. Saws n Steam (I know I work here but going in as a guest I saw tons of energy and tons of scares from all my crew) 2. Zombiegras 3. 20 Years 4. Coven 5. Fear Revealed 6. EM 7. Roving Saws Everything was great this year, so don't think I didn't like the zone/house if its near the bottom of the list

not really enough time to do my full review right now, but just wanted to say House of the Year...one of the best of all time in my book...keep up the amazing work!

So really quick I had to give this shout out...THANK YOU to the closing cast of Havoc on Friday night for the most EPIC run through a house I've ever had. Me and my friend were in there by ourselves 5 minutes before closing and I have never seen energy like that out of a cast, not to mention it was 1:55 when we got in the house. Y'all were jumping off of shit and bouncing around...sooooo incredible. Thank you!!!! I hope y'all get HOTY....you deserve it!

Anytime man! Hope y'all enjoyed our zone

Though if crowds are light they'll pulse the line for a better experience. Don't expect to see pulsing for much longer as crowds will be picking up

that was me hehe

You would have expected a chainsaw

That was actually me you said that to and thank you for that....just remember next time if her ex is out in our zone, we are all professionals so nothing is going to happen...he'll probably end up avoiding her. So please don't yell at us like that...when we get a reaction like that you've just become a wild card and are being watched like a hawk by everyone (including coordinators and security) because people doing that stuff tend to get violent.

@raize- yup that was me with the nightmare line @Steph...we love that we're loved! @ghostrider yup that was me....glad ya liked @Jake-

thanks a bunch! glad we are able to entertain! I always think its funny people just kinda hanging around watching us (mostly from the sidewalks) and laughing their asses off...puts even more fire in my step hehe

Punk teenagers always seem to somehow move into my area of movement.....I don't know how it keeps happening... Last year this one kid was being a douche and so after I popped out, I went back into my hallway and into the cell next to my hallway. I did my normal running out of there, and didn't realize that this kid had planted himself right in front of my door and when I get going, I can't stop quickly without injuring myself, so I ran into this kid HARD, and he ended up checking into the wall and falling to the ground. We're told not to let people up so I went back into my hole and told the ops person and my manager about the incident just in case they heard about it...which they didn't...I do have to say even though this wasn't my intention, it did feel really satisfying LOL I bet that's the last time he ever messed with an actor

I could be the new poster guy for DARE! LOL If you do drugs you face the saw LOL
