  1. Sup everyone, not sure anyone will read/see this, but if you're here: WELCOME, and thanks. I'll keep it pretty vague and sweet.

    HHN 2017 marks my 8th year at HHN, and my FIRST time doing the R.I.P. tour. I had done opening weekend on Saturday (09/16/17-General Admission) a few weeks prior,

    but I mixed rum and tequila (which I'm told is a "no-no".....Yes, I am not a big drinker) and you can imagine what a shitty time I had, but that's a story for another time.

     

    SUNDAY, OCTOBER 1ST, 2017: We pulled into the Vallet lot around 4PM, did some browsing on city walk, ect, and we checked in around 4:50PM and hung out in the lobby until around 5:10PM....We made our way to go have dinner which was scheduled for 5:20PM.

    Overall, Check-In could've felt a little more organized, but it is what it is. As for the food, the selections were awesome for a fat ass like myself. Tri-Tip, Sushi, Desserts, Chicken fingers, ect, you name it.

     

    We met with our guide, a super cool, knowledgable previous scareactor from last years KRAMPUS maze, around 6:20PM and headed into the madness. We had, I think, 12-14 people in our group, all who stayed with us the entire time. NOTE: the Guide actually went INTO all the mazes with us which was pretty badass....His job was to guide us through EVERY maze up until we got on the terror tram. which is how the "guided" portion of the tour was concluded....(He informed us that if we wanted to do the rides, that we could do them on our own, as we wouldn't be doing them as a group because they are always there during the day which was understandable...He also said that if at anytime, we wanted to break from the group that this was Ok, but just to let him know....)

     

    We started off on the METRO sets doing AVED, SAW, AHS and then we went through the URBAN INFERNO scarezone.....Soon after we made our way through the TOXIC TUNNEL scarezone and hit INSIDIOUS, and The Shining....We made our way to the upper lot and hit Blumhouse, The Walking Dead, and Titans of Terror (my Personal favorite). Afterwards we made our way down to the Terror Tram around 9:30PM ish. Our guide said goodbye as we got on the Tram and left him behind.....afterwards we went back through the park and took advantage of our unlimited FOL, doing every maze an additional 2 times (Walking Dead/Terror Tram aside) We also skipped the Jabawockeez show (R.I.P. Bill and Ted......RIDICULOUS)...sorry, still irritated about that whole ordeal.

     

    Overall, despite the repeat themes, I love HHN differently each year, and while this year wasn't my favorite, I still enjoyed lots (The Shining, AVED, Titans, Ect.)

    Let's be honest, after 2016, I never expected to see the event be topped, period, but that's just me. 

     

    We bought our tickets back in August/September for $279 and thought it was fair....I mean, come on? UNLIMITED FOL, Dinner, Valet parking, ect....Idk. It wasn't bad.....I think it would be cool if they threw in a shirt or something, but I'd love to do it again. Horror has no price!!!

     

    Anyway,  hope this review has helped anyone ect...If you have the cash and LOVE HHN regardless, I think this is something fun to experience at least once. Lot's of cool perks to enjoy, I think.....

    I recorded a quick 5 minute Montage-esc. "Vlog" showcasing some of the highlights of my R.I.P. experience if anyone is interested in checking it out.

    I'll post it down here....Thanks for checkin' it out!

    Keep it spooky.

  2. You'll be fine.

    Merch typically doesn't sell out (from my experience)

    In the past however, on HALLOWEEN and the first few days in November is when they

    mark down all/most of the shirts at 20-50% off which makes certain sizes more scarce to find.

    But in general, I think you should be fine.

    Hope that helps.

    Oh yeah i'm also totally excited about going this year, in fact i really don't care if most of the other attractions are recycled. What bothers me about insidious is that the characters and settings are completely uninteresting (except the further, though that was never successfully pulled off at horror nights), and I'm anticipating the maze to be a carbon copy of 2015 with a new room or two for chapter 4 (a movie that nobody knows anything about)

    Long story short insidious is kinda boring

    I disliked the films, honestly and they actually put me to sleep......No film has ever done that, however the mazes were fun.

    I'll give the films another try before the event....This was years ago, so who knows?

    I'm so excited for a maze based on a recycled horror franchise nobody cares about right now.

    LOL, while I'm not too bummed about it, I get what you're saying....

    If we take a step back and really look closer, this entire year is one huge mashup of repeat themes (the shining and blumhouse maze excluded)

    We've done AHS, Evil Dead, Freddy, Jason, Leatherface, Insidious, Chucky, Saw, ect, and don't get me wrong I am stoked for this year, blumhouse aside,

    but as I said, every theme except the listed above has been done in some way "All NEW maze" or not......I am stoked for AvED,The Shining, and Titans the most however..

     

    I'm not complaining because I'll be doing G.A. and R.I.P. this year, but my goodness, I don't think last year's lineup will EVER be topped,

    just my two cents. ;)

    Ouch, they just announced that it's Bill and Ted's last year at HHN Orlando. 

    jamie lee curtis taete can seriously BURN IN HELL.

    He is the idiot vice reporter that complained and got our show taken down in Hollywood.

    Pisses me off that now we are stuck with this weak dance show, but alas, its just one thing

    for me to avoid. Anyway, back to speculating.

    Gate prices may be a contributing factor in system abuse in that some may feel prices are so high they will do whatever it takes to get their money's worth.  But I don't think its a huge factor.  

    I think that people tend to push the limits as far as they can, and when Universal is handing out thousands of orange cards a night, they are feeding the abuse.

    I almost never see a couple getting orange cards because one of them has a medical condition.  90%+ seem to be groups of 6-12 that are all getting orange cards because of one person.

    Disney suffers from this in a big way, too.  That's just plain abuse, and people who abuse the system are doing a disservice to everyone, but the parks can get tough if they want to

    So in short, I think today's generation of park goers think they are entitled to anything they want and they will whine until they get it.   And parks are reluctant to get tough because they are scared of bad reviews and lawsuits.

    Very true.

    Isn't it also against the law for them to QUESTION a guests "medical excuse"?

    I can understand proper proof being needed for the pass, but then like you said, people threatening for lawsuits as usual.

    If that JLCT idiot can go as far enough as to get our beloved Bill And Ted show dead for good, then obviously

    "the customer will always be right" no matter what.

    Then again, as I said, with all due respect, can you really blame some people for not wanting to pay for FOL.

    It's a contradiction, I know, but the cycle continues.

    There is a ton of abuse of the orange cards.  Recently had to go to guest services and waited behind two BIG groups of people who were looking for "disability" passes because someone in their group claimed to get anxiety and panic attacks waiting in long lines.  Give me a damn break.  Where can I get a Snowflake pass?  But this is the world in which we live.

     

    In years past, I would agree that going on a Thursday night or opening weekend would get you low wait times.  Not anymore.  Last year HHN Hollywood sold out almost every night.  Remember that it was not that long ago that the Frequent Fear pass was limited to a very few people who bought them far ahead of time.  Now they sell them all throughout October.  They are ensuring that the park will be at capacity every night.  When that happens, there is NO DIFFERENCE between a Saturday and a Thursday.  Capacity is capacity.  Last year I went closing weekend.  Remember, they didn't even promote this extension until well into October.  The lines were still well over an hour long for just about anything.

     

    I'm at the age where I don't have the energy I had to be able to race from one thing to the other.  Going RIP is a guaranteed way to do everything you want as much as you want, without sprinting anywhere or constantly checking wait times.  

     

    With all due respect, I am curious.

    with UNIVERSAL constantly rising the prices with general admission, and FOL, 

    don't you think more people would be abusing the orange cards as a way to take advantage of the system?

    I'm not saying it's right, but I'm surprised more people don't do this, seeing as the ticket prices keep sky rocketing each year.

     

    I myself will be doing both G.A. and VIP, as I've never experienced it before.

    I'm sure there are some people that actually DO need the orange pass, but I don't know.

    People will abuse it as always I'm sure. Catch 22, I guess?

    LMAO! I remember them haha idk what happened. I remember them causing a lot of drama in the community and threatening other youtubers. They had really cool videos, but idk why they just ended it. I miss a lot of the youtubers and the news ones are great too! 

    I saw that one of the kids was working there at the event for awhile, and they ended up selling all of their HHN collectables on eBay.

    I messaged them and asked what had happened with them, but they just ignored me. LOL.

    Oh, well. What can you do?

  9. Hey everyone.

    It's been ages since I've posted on here, but with the Brand NEW Cult of Chucky trailer dropping today and the new film being released (10/3/17)

    I reached out to writer, director DON MANCINI via twitter and he confirmed that we would be seeing Chucky incorporated in this years HHN somehow.

    (my guess being a scare zone, as previously done in 2013 for the promotion for "Curse of Chucky")

    what does my fellow HHN family think?

  10. Not sure if there is already a thread out there.

    Was curious how fellow HHN fans would feel about selling misc. Merchandise from previous years and or trading.

    Starting first I have a HUGE bus stop sized poster from 2012 I'm looking to sell.

    No clue how to attach pics from my phone but this is the poster

    http://www.stuffwelike.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/IMAG03811.jpg

    Make me an offer.

    Poster is like new-near mint.. Purchased on eBay In 2012 for over $100

    Poster is on thick vinyl.

  11. I'm seeing the Walking Dead return and Alice Cooper again....wondering if it'll be Alice Cooper: the last temptation...I don't know...

    I'm sure TWD will be back for sure..

    I'm also thinking of EVIL DEAD, and maybe another colaboration with Eli Roth/Rob Zombie again

    ...would LOVE to see Chucky have his OWN maze, from ALL films...would be great to do a legit version of the Toy Factory from the 2nd film and

    maybe even some of the carnival scene from the 3rd film....

    Oh, the wishful thinking.
