I hate the 3D houses! I end up just taking the paper glasses off anyway. It's not like there is really that much to see in 3D. As for an Alone type house, as much as it pains me to say this, I don't see Universal doing it. I don't know how they would effectively pull it off with the amount of guests they have in the park. I remember being at HOS last year and people complaining about not being able to go through that house. Universal has a greater number of guests, a lot of which are drunk morons! I think it would be too much trouble for Universal to put themselves through. I doubt it would bring attendance up that much and with the limited amount of guests that can actually go through the house in a night, I don't think they would end up making enough money from it to deal with the inevitable issues that will come of it. Just my opinion, however. I really hope I am wrong.

I would love a Silent Hill house. Actually, I would love a whole year dedicated to video games. A Dead Space house would be extremely scary! Highly unlikely as you said, however.

That's exactly how I felt about Alone. Definitely agree with that!!!!!

Great review. I pretty much feel the exact same way... Only with less words.

More to add... Why no victims this year? The gore and death scenes are what make some of the older houses so awesome.

Well, I've been a few times now, and thought that I'd give every house a fair treatment before giving my review of the event. First of all, I had a great time every night I've been. I think this year's event is good, but a little disappointing. I, unlike a lot of you, love the character FEAR. I wish he was used more in the event. I would have liked to see him showcased in a house somewhere. The scarezones are very well themed, and the best I've seen in years. I miss the longer scarezones, however. I also wish there was something towards the back of park where Jaws is located. I am not going to go into specifics for the scarezones, but I will for the houses starting with my least favorites first. The Orfanage Sorry... Just don't like this house all that much. The atmosphere is good, but I don't find it to be scary at all. The Hallow'd Past This house has a great opening. I love spotting stuff from years past. The thing I dislike is the choice in houses to showcase the last 20 years. Dead Exposure and Shrieks and Foons should not be in this house. The use of Body Collectors and Scary Tales is awesome, but aside from those two rooms, it's rather boring. The conclusion to the house was a huge letdown. Psychoscareapy Good house but more of the same that we've already seen before. Great set, good effects, decent scares. Legendary Truth Love the house, hate the masks! I had high expectations from this house as one of my best friends is in it and hyped it up to me BIG TIME. I thought the house was great, but not really that scary. Zombiegeddon LOVED this house! I like the comical beginning and then the sudden turn to intense!!! Great scares in this house. Fast paced and awesome!!! Havoc REALLY impressed by this house. I didn't really have high expectations for this one and boy was I wrong. I love the intensity the scareactors showcase. I love the energy and the fast pace of this house. This is very close to being my favorite. Catacombs The plague doctors are awesome! This house is great. I love that we finally have two really good tent houses this year. Hades By far, the scariest this year. The minotaur in this house is AWESOME!!! Medusa got me every time. Really well done. Don't really understand some of the hate for this house. Overall, a very good year. I found enjoyment out of every house. My biggest concern is the endings of the houses though. I thought the endings to the majority of the houses were rather boring. What happened to the epic endings? The climax should be the scariest part! My opinion anyway...

As much as I'd like to have that, 975 dollars is just 'wee bit' expensive!

Hahaha!!! I hear ya! I can't wait till people see the "surprise character!"

Don't expect to know ANYTHING!

From what I hear about it... It is more than likely going to be EVERYONE'S favorite.

Catacombs is seriously going to surprise you all!!!!

I agree, remove the finger, but then add it to one of the houses as a prop. Zombiegeddon may be a good fit for a severed finger. I also agree with hospitals being for "wussies." Just wrap some duct tape around the wound and you'll be fine.

Tweaking mine a bit too after a little chat I had today... 1. Legendary Truth (This house sounds AMAZING!) 2. Catacombs (Excited to meet the "character" we ALL know, but have never seen at HHN before.) 3. Hades 4. Hallow'd Past (Fear it!) 5. Zombiegeddon (This ain't no funhouse!) 6. The Orfanage (This house will be HOT) 7. PsychoScareapy (This one could be higher up on the list if the list wasn't so damn awesome! Should be "fun" though.) 8. Havoc (High hopes if this is pulled off the way I hope it is.)

1. Hades (I have a feeling this one is going to be insanely scary!) 2. The Hallow'd Past (Should be great!) 3. Catacombs (Catacombs are scary by themselves.) 4. Legendary Truth (Mostly HOPING this one is good.) 5. PsychoScareapy (Love the others.) 6. Zombiegeddon (Should be fun.) 7. Orfanage (Don't find Cindy scary... AT ALL!!!) 8. Havoc (Eh...)

How about just having the lights flicker in the bathroom, then go completely out for a second or two while FEAR's voice plays through speakers?

Has the Jaws queue ever had a queue video before? EDIT: I personally do not remember one ever being there. It seems like it would be difficult to pull off. Where would they show the video at and how could you hear it over Bill and Ted?

I would seriously HOPE NOT!!!!!!!

Yeah, I'd like to go through House of 1000 Corpses too. Especially since Rob Zombie is designing the maze! But, I'm kind of excited that there aren't going to be any movie houses this year. I love what Universal can create on their own.

As cool as that would be, the movie takes place in an elevator. That would be a rather small house.

I'd like to see the hospital from Jacob's Ladder.

Screamscape: "I’ve been sent a great rumor for HHN 20, which involves one of the large Soundstage haunts under construction. From what I’m told there may be one extra special haunt this season… a huge one… possibly the biggest Haunt ever built at HHN. Inside it would be a trip back through the year’s of HHN’s past, with sections dedicated to each of the previous years and the Icons that ruled the event that year where applicable." Probably what we've already been speculating about in the parade building. EDIT: Maybe not the parade building seeing as though it says "soundstage haunts".

I LOVE that idea!

Those facebook pages are WAY too cheesy to be the works of Universal! EDIT: Also, their facebook pages make them seem INCREDIBLY unscary!

Or to the underworld in general? Hades, Medusa, etc...
