Thanks for taking the time to write a great review!

I am holding out hope for this house. I have said it in chats before but I think this house sounds really cool. It just has stiff competition with the other awesome houses. The idea about holidays gone wrong is very exciting! There has to be a house that is at the bottom of your list and this year it probably will be this house. Maybe in an off year Bloodenguts would be a stellar house at the top of people's list. I will post after September 29th!

This looks AWESOME!!!!!! My husband is going to love this show! I am really glad that Universal came up with this show... it is a cool way to celebrate Halloween! It shows that Universal is willing to think outside the box! I can't wait until Thursday the 28th to see this in person!
P.S. Dr. Scareapy thanks for the link.

First, I would like to point out that service members are not a "minority". Secondly, like Hush has mentioned, war theme is not something that really should be used as a haunted house. Third, like Legacy has mentioned, we are talking about a disorder that goes undiagnosed frequently.
IMO, I think it is wrong to be concerned about a house being scaled back because you don't want the house to be lame. We are talking about images that service members have seen in REAL LIFE represented in a scenario that could trigger those memories again. A&D mentioned in the tweetup that there are trenches which would make this PSTD discussion relevant. If the trenches portray an actual firefight/casulties, then poor taste Uni... but if the trench scene is Nightingales devouring fallen soldiers then that is a step away from the "war scene". WothLD was not a confined space like a house. We see gruesome scenes is houses that are NOT war related. We could have had a disaster themed house with Nightingales instead of a war themed house. War hospitals are just as sad as the battlefield.
I agree with the posts that Uni hopefully has used better judgement and I am sure their legal team has been all over this issue. Signs are not enough... Pumpkin is right...more needs to be done about the warnings.
I would not want to even wade into the waters about having a war house... More people die from war than murders, fires, or other themes that are portrayed in haunted houses. The sz last year did not depict casualties, I hope the only casualties are Nightingale victims.
Sorry to rant..but I feel that maybe we have lost sight of the horrors that war bring and I would not want to cause a veteran any more trauma or pain than they have already endured. Yes Veterans can avoid the house but is that really right? I spend my money to attend the event but I can not fully participate in it? Universal should not want to alienate any part of their audience no matter the size.

I'm really hopeful for the streets to be the best we've ever seen this year. As for the house revolving around the ship I think the coin being from 1492 proves it will have something to do with Columbus. The Columbus clue though leads us to believe it will be about his 4th voyage in 1502. Columbus's ships came through fine but 500 crew members and a bunch of gold were lost at sea. I think were gonna find out what happened to the 500 men and the gold on their ships.
Good point! This would be a cool scenario for a house and most likely on target for the back story.
People forget (or do not know) that Columbus was somewhat ruthless... His conquest of the Carribean led to the annihilation of the Tainos natives. His "captain logs" so to speak showed how he mocked the natives for not understanding the importantance of gold and other tradeable items. I believe on the 1st day of his encounter with natives, he enslaved 6. Remember, Columbus needed proof for the Spanish Crown and after a 3 month or more voyage home, plants died ect... Therefore a native would be the best sort of proof.
Just pure fantasy but it would be cool to see a scareactor play the role of a native seeking revenge on the crew of the Columbus Voyage just from a historical standpoint.

I might be over thinking but I can kind of make out a face in the blood....
1st time poster...Love following this forum. In response to your post, I do see a face too. Waited a little bit to see if anyone else would comment but no one has. Maybe we are just seeing what we want to see.
Very excited about the event. I used to be what you call "general public" but now I have started to become a fan like many on this forum. With that said, I am still interested to have an icon and very intrigued at the thought of "2 faced" icon. I hope I can be helpful to the forum!

I am really sorry to say that this show was probably the worst show in my 7 years of attending HHN. Even my husband said that it was disappointing (this is rare). The jokes were dry and the story line was weak. I thought some of the characters were too obscure too. The advertisements were the funniest thing about the show. Also I did really like the joke about the crying Red Sox nation.
I really feel that this year's BnT was a let down. Thankfully the rest of the park made up for the show.
