9/16/2016 I'm not one of those people who HATES 3-d houses with a passion. Sure, there have been some not-so-great 3-d houses in the past but there have also been some good ones that I have really enjoyed. This is NOT one of the good ones. The house is terrible. Not a single scare and very uninspired set. The execution of the concept is terrible. The description doesn't match up with the finished product. It's a mess. Sure, the scares could potentially improve as the scareactors continue to practice their craft but they don't have much to work with in their environment. If I didn't have Express, I would probably not make it a point to revisit. 1 out of 5

9/16/2016 I think they did a great job recreating the vibe of all three seasons and casting the look-alikes. It's a good looking house with some impressive set pieces. The scares are a little on the light side (for me). It's hard to feel threatened by characters that you've gotten to know and understand through the seasons. It's more of a theatrical experience to appreciate and marvel at. Walking into the show, recognizing iconic scenes is half the fun. If you are not an AHS fan, you'll miss out on that aspect of the house. You'll still have a good time but it won't be as great of an experience if you don't know what's going on. The scares should improve a bit with time as the performers continue to work on their timing and technique. Wish some of the more "menacing" side characters were featured more prominently to increase the intensity of the house but I enjoyed it, nonetheless. 4 out of 5

9/16/2016 I have a few issues with this house. Usually, I appreciate make-up over masks; however, the make-up in this house is not very effective. I feel the Regan's don't look vicious enough. They need to incorporate more silicone applications to really get a more realistic morphed/demonic face. I could see through the makeup and just see girls with "scary" contact lenses. Maybe it's just me. Also, the performances are pretty lackluster. I realize that they need to be careful about injuries and whatnot but I wish their movements were more aggressive and violent. They need to me more jolty/jerky and less choreographed. I also realize they can't be tied up to the bed due to safety/security reasons but wish they could "simulate" her being tied up. It just looks like she's tossing and turning in bed because she can't sleep. Why would she just stay in bed? She's free to walk around. It doesn't make sense. Also, rather than solely interacting with the priests, she should be interacting with the audience as they walk-through. Lastly, I wish the animated figures were of higher quality. They look so obviously fake. I have a good imagination but some of these figures look so bad, my imagination isn't enough to buy into the scene. I know it may sound like I'm nitpicking or being overly-critical but I know what HHN is capable of and it's disappointing to see missed opportunities. The house is still a good/entertaining house as a whole with neat ideas sprinkled throughout and some good atmosphere but it's nowhere near what it COULD be. It may be too late to change make-up and set pieces but the performances COULD get better in the coming days. I'm hoping this is the case and I can raise my rating because The Exorcist has and always will be on the top of my list of scariest movies and wish the house could live up to the movie. 3 OUT OF 5

This is my favorite scarezone. Both casts are amazing; however, I am in LOVE with cast b. You guys are so amazing. I keep finding myself returning to the benches in the zone to just sit and watch you guys work. My absolute favorites within cast b are the two sloth guys. Unbelievable! So much energy, you go for every scare and get reactions constantly. Even when I'm sitting down or taking pictures you guys come up and show me some love throughout the night (and creep me out!). I really appreciate you guys. Keep it up! To the whole crew: triple love all of you. Ps. I've been visiting the last three nights, wearin old-school vault shirt or black death tarot card shirt.
