  1. I used to drink a lot at HHN, but was diagnosed with a rare blood illness a few years ago and will never be able to drink again. I've actually found the event to be more enjoyable since NOT drinking. But, as long as people can handle their alcohol and do not act like total jerks, I see no problem with it.

  2. Well when I think of bald people, I think of either a widespread ilness/epidemic, (causing hair loss, and worse symptoms), or, I think of patients. What if they are test subjects for brain surgery (whose heads need it be shaved before surgery, whether it be half or whole),, and doctors are trying to distort the human brain?

    It's indeed possible. I hope it's some type of area 51 investigation house, though. However, a house utilizing a creepy/crazy brain surgeon would be BA too.

  3. i think all a michael myers house would be is just him walking around hitting wood or barrels to make a loud noise and make u jump, i love michael myers but i dont feel a house with just him would be to scary but it would fun

    The original Die In had Michael Myers in the house. It was the first movie set you walked through after venturing through the screen. In my opinion, the Michael Myers section was the best! That house rocked though. I'd love to see Myers have his own house. I just don't see it happening this year. I'm not sold on the whole Cindy idea yet either. I think that may be more wishful thinking than anything else. Hoping to be wrong, however.

    As for the parade building... I'm almost certain that is going to be a house set up like a museum showing off the history of HHN, with it obviously coming to life like Night at the Museum.

    But, I don't think this is a reunion year. I think the clues point more to it being a celebration of the history of horror in general. FEAR itself, just may be the icon this year... Makes sense, in my opinion.

    Excited to find out more!

  4. I just love Speculation, As far as this year goes there is no solid evidence to theme or house names, only a few room names. Crazy isn't it?

    Yeah, it makes it really difficult to speculate anything when not much is known. It's exciting, however. I feel like we've known far more about previous years at this time then we do this year at all. Either a great job by Universal or Potter just grabbing all of the attention. Probably both! As far as observation deck... Perhaps it COULD be attached to a Bioshock themed house. I doubt it, but that would be awesome! If that were the case, the Greek mythology stuff could be attached to a God of War house... Again, doubt it! I want something original like a lot of others. But, whatever we get, I'm sure I will definitely be pleased! Just anxiously awaiting the arrival of more NEWS!!!

  5. I'm extremely excited for some Greek Mythology. As for it not being relevant for teens... PLEASE!!!! Wizard of Oz probably wasn't relevant for them either, but that didn't make it any less scary two years ago. They can do so much with Greek Mythology and I am happy that it gets a soundstage!!! House of the year?

  6. I actually went to the original fright nights and I just turned 24 on Tuesday. However, I didn't start going every year untill 2000. That was the year I finally had someone old enough to drive me to the event and I was hooked right away!!! I loved every minute of it and have gone every year since. It's funny, because two years ago, I was diagnosed with a rare life threatening blood illness and was in the hospital for two months straight. And one of my biggest concerns that year was wondering if I would be healthy enough to go to the event. Luckily, I made it! It was extemely difficult for me to walk around that much, but I managed. I had so much fun that year and I now view that year as my favorite of all time! The saddest day of the year, for me, is the last day of HHN!!!

  7. Went both nights... Had a lot of fun! Suffered from being thrown into walls, having my feet stepped on, getting the crap scared out of me, and the classic chafing!

    Wolfman-

    So far, after going through this house a few times, I think I like it the best. I went through during the day and could not see a thing, which I actually enjoy because it makes it more scare, and I also went through at night and thought the house looked incredible. Walking through the forest at the beginning really set the mood for me. With the sounds and the growls, I was afraid without even seeing anything. Everytime that I went through, the wolfman seemed to be everywhere! The final scene was also fantastic! Definitely a great house. 5 out of 5 stars!

    Dracula-

    Lots of scares in this one for me as well. So far, I believe this to be my second favorite house. Again, the set looked incredible and the vampires were creepy as hell! Can't wait to go through it again! 5 out of 5 stars!

    Frankenstein-

    Another outstanding set design and great scares! Easily one of the top 3 houses of the event so far! The Frankenstein monster looked outstanding, as did the Doctor and his many creations. 5 out of 5 stars!

    Leave it to Cleaver-

    One of the most creative houses that Universal has ever created. The que video was great, the set was great, and the overall idea was great. However, I just didn't get scared in it. I had a lot of fun and can see the potential for more scares, but it didn't really get me at all. Reminded me a lot of Home for the Holidays. 4 out of 5 stars!

    Saw-

    Definitely much better than I anticipated! I didn't really have high expectations for this house being that I'm not a huge fan of Saw and it was in the Jaws que. However, I really enjoyed this house. Again, I did not find it to be scary. The pig people are kind of creepy and the last room was AWESOME... But, I didn't get scared. I had a lot of fun though. The set was great, the video stuff was great, and the cast was superb! The longest line of both nights SUCKS though. Definitely the perfect spot for a Saw house though. 4 out of 5 stars!

    The Spawning-

    Only went through this house once. I thought the set was pretty good but the costuming was awful! The creatures defnitely reminded me of the Creature from the Black Lagoon though. I think this house has a lot of potential but, to me, it wasn't scary at all. I think this is the only house I didn't jump in at all. The problem for me was I could see the flaws in their costumes and I'm wondering if the house was darker, if it would be better? No idea... The group I was with enjoyed it, and I overheard a lot of others in the park saying it was the scariest. I really wanted to like it, and will go through it again, but I just could not get into it. I will give it another shot though... So, untill then, I will hold off on giving it stars.

    Chucky-

    GREAT HOUSE!!! I loved it. Thought the set was fantastic, the scares were there, and it was also a lot of fun! 4 out of 5 stars!

    Silver Screams-

    Kind of let down by this one... Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed the house. Thought the set was great, some of the scares were great, and the characters shined. However, I thought the rooms for the movies were too small. And, I don't find the Usher to be scary. So the end scene was not that scary for me. The transistions were extremely cool though. Still enjoyed the house but thought it was going to be my favorite. 4 out of 5 stars!

    The scarezones were okay this year. I liked the War of the Living Dead, Horrorwood Die In, Lights Camara Hacktion, and Cirque Du Freak. The other two, however, are lame!!!

    Bill and Ted I thought was a lot better than last year! Very hit or miss for me, however... Though, I thought it had one of the best openings I've seen in years.

    Didn't see Rocky yet. Probably will later on in the month.

    Overall- Great year! I don't remember liking as many houses as I did this year in any other year. The scarezones could be better and I miss the old style of the Bill and Ted show... I'm kinda tired of seeing the dancing. I had a lot of fun though and I cannot wait to go again! To all of the scaractors... THANK YOU FOR PUTTING ON ONE HELL OF A SHOW!!!!

  8. No, he contacted me to see how I wanted to recieve the prize package and I asked for it to be sent up here as I really did not want to travel with all of that stuff. He was shipping it out today and he said I should get it Tuesday or Wednesday.

    Yes, congrats F.U.B.A.R.!!!! I've always enjoyed reading your posts, even on Chainsaw Wolf!!!

  9. Sorry I haven't been on. For those of you on my facebook, you know I was out and about in N.C. these last couple of days. BUT IM BACK IN ORLANDO AND SUPER STOKED FOR FRIDAY! WOOHOO!

    I am superstoked for Friday as well! I'm amazed that there isn't much more chatter on here! There really hasn't been any activity from anyone as of late.

  10. It's going to be interesting to see what Fangoria can bring to the table. It also makes me recall that leaked artwork with the Fangoria image on there. I just wonder how much creative control Fangoria will have. It's been quite sometime, in my opinion, that the Disaster que has held a good house. Hopefully this year will change that!!!! Leave it to Cleaver... Awesome!

    On another note... I guess this also means no Army of Darkness. :(

  11. This is most certainly true.

    From an anonymous source, The Strangers will be a scarezone. I agree with Matt, as it would have been better executed as a house, but we will have to see how they pull it off. On with the "speculation".

    Didn't they have a "Strangers" scare zone in Hollywood last year? Anyone know how that turned out?
