now although i am not a scareactor, i do know that aside from some HHN fansite shirts, bringing in anything related to "Universal's archrival" is guaranteed to bring upon attention for the scareactors.

i probably would think BK would be using the lantern. after that 2007 fiasco with that woman who wanted BK to get rid of their tray liners featuring Freddy, Jason and Leatherface. i'm sure they'll try not to take a gamble showing Fear's teeth.

Yesterday, i saw one of the HHN XX Billboards on the 528 beachline. it's location is near the toll plaza between Orange Avenue and OBT facing westbound.

another thing, when it does air it's often best to check Fox 35, WESH 2, and Local 6 between 7 to 11 pm, as the HHN commercials often appear during those times (especially during the 11 o'clock news)

ok, i have plenty of things which grind my gears @ HHN. To start, the moronic parents who bring their small children into the park thinking, it's some sort of like a "slightly scary halloween party", but the reality is that this is beyond the fear which is seen in many Disney movies, this is universal meaning that it is bound to be a bit between PG-13 and R. and if you're not careful about bringing them and using common discretion, don't be surprised if you have to spend your savings on therapy bills after your kids end up traumatized due to the blood and gore in HHN. Second thing are smokers. Not only does it annoy others, but on a blustery day, a puff of smoke can sour everyone else's experience. The final thing is anything that lights up. Not only does it blind others including scareactors (especially during the day when it leads for a house to be pitch black), but it kills the surprise element. that's why i never bring anything that lights up (including my mouse ears which i often wear for mardi gras)

a tip should you choose to stay all the way until 2 (as Oct 8 is a friday) in the morning, be sure to bring at least 2 or 3 energy drinks with you. these will keep you going especially if you intend to be at the parks during the day. another tip is that if you want to be a scareactor target, be sure you wear some bright colors, and if you have anything linked to a certain rodent with you, you will be targeted a lot.

seeing the summer commercials for subway reminds me of Psychoscareapy 1 and 2.

to be honest, i've only dealt with the metal detectors in 2003 and '05. however as tedious as it may sound. it is worth the extra money for obtaining them alone. and when you think about it with HHN taking place mostly in the dark, not to mention life in a post 9/11 world, anyone could be a potential threat, so it's best to say that the detectors aren't too much when it comes to security.

here's mine from last year (which was inspired by a motivational poster from hhn 18).

for me, it's mostly to run into friends from the HHN fan community (some of which i run into other Universal events like Mardi Gras), as well as the thrill of getting plenty of scares including some 4th wall breaking scares (like the ones i had on HHN 17, 18, and 19), along with being a common target due to certain signature items (including a group of "pals" ).

I would also agree with a Halloween house. as long as it's based on the original John Carpenter formula instead of the Rob Zombie remakes, i'm ok with it. it worked in All Nite DrIvE In 2003, and just as how NOES and F13 ended up getting their own houses in HHN 17, it would be good if HHN20 gave Halloween a house of it's own. i would also enjoy it if any of George Romero's classics were to be immortalized as a HHN house (such as Night or Dawn of the Living Dead)

i'm going to HHN on October 9 (i originally was slated to go on the 10th, but my work schedule was changed which makes it easier to go on friday) [Keycodes] M = Would like to Meet-up S = Stay and Scream (Annual Pass or Parks during the day) D = Legal Drinking age [Appearance All Points Bulletin for Horror Night Nightmare Members, HHNVaulters, and especially scareactors] one of 3 HHN shirts from 2008 blue Disney World hoodie black jeans blue/silver nikes blue backpack blue hip pack my infamous signature Mickey Mouse Hat (eyewear) during part of the daytime: my blue "half" shutter shades for some houses, my 2007 Jack the clown Funhouse of Fear "3D" glasses [scareactor target probability increasers] Pal Mickey 1.0 in army fatigues (in reference to the War of the Living Dead scarezone,) and a black headband (as a Solid Snake reference) Pal Mickey 2.0 in ninja outfit (this outfit makes him "the shadow warrior") Pal Mickey 3.0 in Sorcerer's Apprentice outfit (the outfit is somewhat a reference to Will the "Wizard Master" from Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, and to some, it might be a satirical allusion to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter)

i think there would be 2 good ideas for easily "rippable" characters : a "wasted" Michael Phelps, and Jon and Kate (however, for this to happen, b&t's staff should read the tabloids about how controlling Kate is apparently)

i have a good one from last year (HHN 18). While going through doomsday for the first time, i ended up getting a couple of great scares (some of which broke the 4th wall), including a memorable encounter with one of DD's scareactors (that was in the scene with the gimp i believe) in which he "kidnapped" me by grabbing my Pal Mickey which was dangling from my backpack, and then taking me to the corner in that scene, and it was totally radical experience.

i'm planning on going the 9th or 10th of october. and as for my appearance (especially for those from the HHNVault who saw me last year), rest assured, that the Mickey Mouse hat will return (along with Pal Mickey)

My first HHN was in 2003. ever since, i've been going to HHN and i ended up having some first achievements for each year. here's the list: 2003: First HHN attended 2004: First Stay 'n Scream 2005: First solo trip to HHN 2006: First "Operation: Lone Mouse" Trip (the first time i attended while wearing a mickey mouse hat for the purpose of being a target for the scareactors) 2007: First HHN which involved attending all of the houses including one house being entered multiple times (i went to Vampyr: Blood Bath 5 times) 2008: First HHN to have all houses visited in 2 hours or less, first HHN which introduced Pal Mickey (again, this was to become a scareactor target), First HHN which involved purchasing all of the shirts, etc.
