The Hanging's jokes are funny have something to do with pop culture as opposed to Hollywood's Bill & Ted which just uses celebrities and trademarked characters to make frat boy jokes.
-
^No joke, Breitbart's site was running the FoxNews story about how Bill & Ted (Orlando) was trying to swing voters toward Obama. They were also complaining how an R rated show would be run inside a theme park.

I would love for them to have a photo op for the characters that they have rights for. I really want a picture with Sharknado!
-
They they still have the double-shot refills for souvenir cups? It's still a pretty good deal since that's about half the price of a double at most bars.

Soundstage houses usually open before 6pm for the Stay & Scream guests, so when they open the front gates at 6pm the lines can be already be around a 1/2 hour. Based on what I've seen online, Evil Dead gets crowded the fastest, so I would do CITW and AWIL first and Evil Dead as the last house of the night if you want to see them twice.

I downloaded the HHN 23 App tonight. Don't know if it's official but it did have updated wait times on it.
The last wait times it posted were:
Walking Dead: 60 min
Resident Evil: 45 min
Evil Dead: 60 min
Cabin: 60 min
American Werewolf: 65 min
Llorona: 45 min
Havoc: 90 min
After Life: 60 min

But how do get from that entrance to the soundstage? I'm wondering if they take you through a backstage or maintenance gate.
-
How do you get from the entrance to the house? Is there a path underneath Rockit?
-
Pretty sure it will be The Walking Dead. I think they did a good job of spreading the houses around. Disaster queue and the MIB Sprung tent usually have the longest lines once it gets dark out, so it was a good idea to not put IPs in those spots.
I doubt the employee preview is good indicator of waits since there are a lot of fire drills and technical issues with the houses. I did read @DesigningFear that Afterlife had a 60 minute wait (maybe the longest of the night?). 3D houses are always very popular.
My general advice would be to get there when they open at 6, go straight to the Parade building (Walking Dead), KZ Tent (La Larona), then MIB Tent (Afterlife) without express. Then do the rest of the houses with express, then redo what you liked with express or vice versa. The studio houses can sometimes be walkons after midnight.
-
I was hoping they would do overgrown vines at the entrance.
-
Do you think we can expect the smell of dead cats in that basement room?
I hope nobody that works for Universal knows what dead cats smell like!

HHmm..Duck Dynasty?

Wyndott Estate is the last house to fill a "medium" size sound stage solely and I remember it being incredibly epic. I have no blueprints or information to back it up, but that's how I remember it. SS 22 is a small SS but with one maze it always gives a lot of space and atmosphere, so I have good hopes for American Werewolf.
I know Evil Dead won't fill all of SS 24 but I've been so pumped CITW that they would give it as much room as possible since it's such an unconventional house.
These are just nerd theorizing and musings anyway. I just hope it all ends up awesome!
-
Kind of confused at how this house will be getting it's own(pretty big) soundstage while CITW is going to share a soundstage with Resident Evil. Even though SS 21 is huge, CITW is not getting as much real estate as Evil Dead. Of course it might just be that they thought they were going to put American Horror Story in that house before.
I've been hoping CITW is a truly epic house and it should get all the room that it needs.

It's hard to see all of HHN in one night, even with an express pass.
My plan of attack is to get to the metal detectors by 530, get into the park around 6 when it opens of guests. Head to parade building, Kidzone Sprung Tent, then MIB sprung tent and then you should be ready for the first show of Bill & Ted at 7:15. You've just hit three houses in about an hour without an. express pass. You'll probably need an express pass for the rest of the houses in one night and you should have some time for food and to be able to get see the first three houses.
-
Weird that they don't have the Kang and Kodos ride listed. It's a new attraction and they're characters created for Treehouse of Horror.

And, again, Universal is forcing a potential franchise in how they title their houses. They HAD to title La Llorona with "Urban Legends" and now they had to title this "Afterlife: Death's Vengence."
Seriously. Why couldn't they just title it either or? Do they already see "Afterlife: Eternal Justice" and "Afterlife: I Pooed Myself" as future houses?
The worse part about this new era is how they title their houses. Every house is presented as a potential franchise. That was one nice thing about Dead End and Gothic; they didn't make an obvious attempt to seed a potential franchise.
HHN has been using subtitles for years. For example:
2006:
Scream House: Resurrection
All Nite Die-In: Take 2
Psychoscareapy: Maximum Madness
Dungeon of Terror: Retold
The People Under the Stairs: Under Construction
Psycho Path: The Return of Norman Bates
Run: Hostile Territory
2007:
Jack's Funhouse in Clown-O-Vision
A Nightmare on Elm Street: Dreamwalkers
Friday the 13th: Camp Blood
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: Flesh Wounds
Dead Silence: The Curse of Mary Shaw
PsychoScareapy: Home for the Holidays
The Thing: Assimilation
Vampyr: Blood Bath
2010:
Horror Nights: The Hallow'd Past
Catacombs: Black Death Rising
Havoc: Dogs of War
The Orfanage: Ashes to Ashes
ZombieGeddon
Hades: The Gates of Ruin
PsychoScareapy: Echoes of Shadybrook
Legendary Truth: The Wyandot Estate
That's three events (which were pretty great by most accounts) where almost every house was subtitled.
Yeah the Urban Legends pre fix is kinda bleh but Florida has much more of a Cuban than Mexican Latino population so most guests might need some help understanding that La Llorona is the Mexican Bloody Mary
-
I think we'll see The Body Collectors, Nightengales and The Foresaken causing gruesome mayhem in the facility. Merman should be the last scene in the control room. Hopefully they will play REO Speedwagon like in the movie

As i see on the map (and must expected) they took the criticism and put TWD in a full house not a tent or light area (Disaster).
From what I understand, the space available for the parade building has shrunk since with the addition of the floats for daytime parade. Even though they moved Macy's floats outside it seemed that House of Horrors had a lot more truncated sets than the previous parade building houses.

Wonder what Pitbull and Flo Rida songs they will use this year.

Superman (because WB seems less litigious than Disney)
DC Comics gave Universal a cease and desist in for the 2006 Bill and Ted Show for using Lex Luther without any parody.
As for The Man of Steel they could use General Zod played by Michael Shannon, who based on the trailer, CANNOT CONTROL THE VOLUME OF HIS VOICE!

Christine was directed by John Carpenter. My idea would be a 3D house based on They Live, the movie directed by John Carpenter and released by Universal. Roddy Piper would give you the "glasses" like in the movie and all of the aliens and conformist messages on the billboards would pop in 3D.
They could also do a Carpenter tribute house featuring scenes from Halloween, The Thing, Escape From New York, The Fog, ect.

Well, there IS a Carrie remake coming out in October....
Carrie was already used last year at Knott's Halloween Haunt as a promotion for this year's remake. Since it's being released by Sony, I doubt it'll end up at HHN. Sony seems to exclusively use license their movies to Knott's (Evil Dead, The Grudge, The Stepfather)
Bring Back Bill & Ted's Excellent Halloween Adventure!
in General Halloween Horror Nights - Hollywood

I mean The Hanging has jokes that actually have to do with the year in pop culture. I good compare and contrast: last year Hanging had a great parody of The Dark Knight Rises where Batman and Bane fight but nobody can understand what they're saying. B&T's parody of one of the year's biggest movies was to have Catwoman dressed in the Halle Berry outfit and for some reason speaking in ebonics????
