One of the things I'm wondering about is how the lines for soundstages will be now that Twister's queue entrance is done (quite possibly for good depending if the queue for the Fallon ride will be somewhat of a queue entrance). I know it will pretty much be the same since the only line that's gone is Twister, but if we're planning to have nine houses, how will this work?

Hmmm now this gets me curious... were there any other years that were like this? Does this happen almost every year or is this a once in a while thing where potential HOTYs are knocked off?

I'm pretty sure it will happen! Also, I think that they will probably use the mirror gag effect to show Father Karras on the bottom of the flight of stairs if they do that scene.

Hopefully, they can find a good contortionist to do the spider-walk scene. I think in the movie, they had a female contortionist do that scene on a harness and flying wires.

As much as I would like The Doctor, I'd feel as though so many people would confuse it with Doctor Who....

well if you think about it, with the exception of Jack, all the icons were pictures from the past years, especially seen on the brochures. However, the Usher never had any pictures of him like Chucky, Saw and Wolfman in 2009.

I would call it a B-/C+ of a year. Sure it had a couple of good houses, especially Halloween, but the average quality and content of the scarezones, shows, and other houses just dragged it down making it an average year. A bit above average since I'm optimistic.

In the Icon zone they had some Midnight Syndicate playing. One was from the Out of Darkness album called, "Solemn Reflections," and the other was from the Dungeons and Dragons album called "Hero's Valor"

Congratulations to this zone and everyone in it for winning Scarezone of the Year. I got some good scares from here too so nice job!

Well congratulations to every clown! If what I heard is correct, then the roaming Clowns won Scarezone of the Year along with Evil's Roots! You've earned it!

I just remembered a couple of good stories so I thought I'd say it before I forget. In 2011, I was exiting the Nightmaze scarezone when I saw this couple that was to scared to go in. What I saw (and they didn't) was a Scareactor camouflaged with the black surrounding just a few feet in front of them. When they finally mustered the courage to enter, the Scareactor jumped at them, making them sprint to the Grown Evil zone. I've never laughed so hard that night haha. In 2012 when the scareactors were given freedom to roam everywhere, I was leaving the Alice Cooper house. I saw 7 maybe 8 people stopping at the Barney area looking at a 7 foot tall Beast Scareactor hiding Behind a pillar across from us. Soon after two girls were walking to the house TOWARDS the Scareactor while singing the Barney song. When they finally got to last verse (and the Beast), he jumped out in front of them, the girl pushed her friend into the Scareactor and hauled ass away from the house and the Beast. We saw the whole thing go down and we never said a thing to the girls. It was hilarious and we are jerks for it Also I like the stories so far guys! Keep them going!

We all know that Halloween Horror Nights is there to scare us but there can be unexpected moments of entertainment and/or hilarity relating to certain encounters with scareactors at HHN. Whether it be in a scare zone or a house from ANY time at HHN, please post stories of an HHN moment where you couldn't help but smile, giggle, or even laugh! Please don't mistake this for Scareactor shoutouts, but if there's still a similar thread then lock this thread and restart the topic on the original since I'd love to hear your stories!

I agree that this scare zone is not particularly "immersive" due to certain circumstances (budget, parade, etc.). However this scarezone is one of my favorites surprisingly, and it's mainly due to the scareactors. Those psychos seem to make it work for me, especially with how they interact with everyone passing by. They just look like they're having a great time and I just can't help but smile when I interact with them or see them scare other people.

Sorry I'm kinda new to posting pictures. what do you guys mainly use to post them?

Sunday: I was walking late at night in an empty Run house. The moment I entered the biohazard room, one the runner scareactors sprinted to my face from across the room and it made me jump bad. Nice job! I've said how much I love the scareactors from Psychoscareapy zone, however one of favorites is the female scareactor with the monkey wrench who on three different times of the night asked me to pet the wrench or just bopped me on the head with it.

This is my first time uploading pics, i hope you all enjoy what I keep posting

In the Icons zone I got "Wounded Warsong" by Akira Yamaoka from the Silent Hill 4 album. In the All Night Die In I got "Zombie Tunes" main theme by Gareth Williams.

I went opening night too so I see what you mean with the Purge. However what will be this house's saving grace - and some of the houses need this too (I'm calling you out FvJ)- is aggressive scareactors, but that's something that grows with the event. So far I'm treating this house like a potential Havoc house - both used recycled sets but what made Havoc fantastic was its scareactors. If the Purge can take it 2 steps further then I'll be happy.

Opening Night: All Night Die In - in the early hours of the event I was shazaming a song after leaving Run when "The Thing" scare actor slowly got near my face. I loved it so much haha Monsters and Mayhem: I think it was around 8:00-8:30. I was passing through the Forsaken room when I accidentally walked into a boohole and one of the clown scare actors got me so good. It's difficult to get me to jump like that so props. The Purge: I was walking through the room where the chainsaw purger is with the fridge and when I got to the transition, a girl (who I didn't realize then was a scare actor) asked me if I could go behind saying she got lost. When we reached the next room she was dragged out of line by another purge scareactor and I fully enjoyed that. To every scare actor in Shadybrook: Unleashed, I loved every single one of you psychos! Keep acting insane and flipping your shit every time that gazebo explodes with fire haha!

- Playing near the lagoon in the MIB area: "Carousel" by HUWS & Milly Rome - Carousel- Icons Scarezone: "Opened Way" - Silent hell-music from the movie by stanton shows (I know there's another version of this song from the video game, but I forgot what it was called)- Screampunk scare zone: "Oraculum" - The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo OST by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross- All Night Die In: "Ave Satani (From 'The Omen')" - The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra - Main Entrance: "Dance of the Deadless Corpse" by Zombie Girl - Blood, Brains, and Rock n' Roll"(Encore Track) Waltz of the Living Dead" by New York Disco Villains - Popcorn I'm going to keep attending the event this year since I just moved here and got a FFP+ so I'll keep helping out when I can!

I'm wearing a black shirt with 24 moons on it, a dark green jacket, Beige vans, and jeans.

Holy crap, I come back to the forums seeing more than 10 pages and I think the house is been announced when in actuality it was all this craziness about Scream! I feel bad for Aiello and company especially due to the fact that this had to happen on the 25th anniversary. However being a person who tends to look for silver linings I hope to spread my optimism to you guys with this. With this Scream fiasco being a direct result of IP dependencies maybe Universal will learn from this and become more weary with certain IP as well as become more lenient towards original content next year, hopefully. You can always gain experience/learn from failure, so next year might have more binding IP contracts and more original content freedom. Who knows, maybe the leash on A&D might be loosened just a bit.

You know I never really knew what an uncharge house was. Can someone please explain it to me?

To add to the helpful advice above me, There are many websites that can set up much hype without fail. You can actually find the old HHN websites on a website called horrornights.be I believe. Our very own frightful and informative Dr. Jimmy has videos on YouTube relating to his recollections of HHN history as well. Speaking of YouTube, there are many vloggers such as TimTracker and MightyThor that have seasonal HHN videos. There are many videos of countless POV walkthroughs of old houses and sacredness, and Attraction Magazine and Inside the Magic show plenty of old HHN videos. They really bring the nostalgia and excitement to newcomers, but hopefully it doesn't set their expectations to high haha. Well I hope this could be enough.
