Here he is (cast A), but you can see he's undergone quite a career change. Stabby, stabby is good but I enjoyed getting serenaded with Rubber Ducky in Pscyho last night quite a bit.

Yep, Team A Sam Meetz although he looks very different now. He's in a totally different role (not scareactor)), so I didn't even recognize him till he said "Sausages!" He was in the area by the Mummy, and we've only seen him once. I have a camera phone photo that I'll post later. My husband is going in Zombiegeddon now just to see the barker in the second room, who always harrasses the hell out of him (team A). He miscalculated and took me through Catacombs on team B last night; not a bad experience at all, but I love the love from team A (we saw them twice as well...it was a very busy night for us).

I have respiratory problems that are incompatible with being around smoke. The lines are bad but the Finnegan's holding pen is worse and absolutely nothing is done to stop it. Pisses me off because my nose is often a faucet by release time. I learned a trick in the lines after being threatened many times by drunk smokers when I asked them to stop. One large group then pretended not to be together when I got security, and the ones "not with them" claimed to be independent witnesses that I was some kind of nut and they weren't even smoking. I have my phone with camcorder and whip it out to record if there is even a hint that things might turn ugly. Ironically, I've one had to use it once this year and it wasn't even a confrontation over smoking, just general douchebaggery. I whipped it out and told them I was recording them for security. One of them still was stupid enough to physically threaten me on camera. I couldn't believe it. I asked him if he'd like to say anything else into the camera and they left us alone after that till we got out of the house. Then they ran to an ops to claim we were causing a problem with them. I said to the op, "There are two choices here. They can walk away and I'll let this drop or I want a police officer over here right now to review the tape and advise me on what charges I can press." They just left really fast without another word. Maybe too drunk or stupid to remember I had the confrontation recorded?

Very true that there are no bad houses, but my rankings from Team Preview and opening weekend are staying remarkably steady. Catacombs, Hades and Havoc are still tops for me, with LT and Orfanage still at the bottom and Psycho, Hallow'd and Zombie in the middle. For some reason, we had epic run throughs in every house on Weds. Don't know why, but there wasn't one bad run and we did almost all of them twice.

I'm stealing my hubby's ID to post here but there are many, many long overdue shout-outs (we've been there just about every frequent fear plus night): Catacombs, especially Team A: My poor little stuffed doggies have all had to be put down due to contracting black death in there. Zombiegeddon, Team B: My husband loves the dude in the first room. Hades, Team A (I think): Always consistently vicious Psychoscareapy last night: don't know which team, but the big dude who was gently petting my stuffed bat, then suddenly looked up and scream "Die!" in my face made my night. Wolfman out in the scarezone (not sure what cast) and both Cindys. The Cindys are an absolute riot! And of course I love the chainsaws. I mean, who doesn't love chainsaws? We also found Sam Meetz, although he sure looks different this year. God, I miss Cleaver but at least I have Catacombs as my new love. Oh, and I have to give a general shout-out to Havoc too. No specific favorite team, just generally good and consistent. Below is what we look like, and my rantings about Halloween Horror Nights (and many other things) are at http://www.examiner.com/theme-parks-in-orlando/barbara-nefer
