    MrAvila's Opening Night "brief" Review

    in HHN 2013: Reviews

    Posted

    Okay this is my first ever review so sorry if it isn't formatted or detailed like you'd like :P

    Okay so I don't really know how to start this so ima list the mazes, scare zones, etc. and go from there.

    MAZES

    -El Cucuy: The boogyman

    Okay so I was able to go through El Cucuy twice last nite and the maze wasn't that great to be honest. I think it's the venue because it just felt like the maze had long hallways and a few rooms. The sets in the maze felt a lot like La Llorana. The only really unique part to this maze is probably his liar it's pretty cool :). As for scaryness, it was scary but not the greatest maze to be honest, which is a shame because this was my most anticipated house :\

    -Evil Dead: Book of the Dead

    Now this maze was a hell of a maze i loved it I was able to do this twice :D. It was scary as F it had beautiful sets with the cabin scenes and it all felt like so much was going on you had no idea where youd get scared from! I think all you evil dead fans will deffinatly be satisfied with this maze :)

    -Insidious: Into the Further

    Okay let me start by saying I had low expectations for this house. I didn't think insidious was scary enough to be a truly great maze. But let me say guys this in my opinion was the best maze of night!! To me it was the scariest and the sets were great :) idk if it was the cast or I was just getting great timing with scares! Unfortunatly i only did this maze once but I can't wait to go back in this one again :)

    -Black Sabath 13: 3D

    Okay universal needs to STOP the musician mazes i really hope this is the last one! Anyways onto the review. This maze is just like Goes To Hell, it has amazing sets and the 3D is good but like every 3D maze it is WAY to bright and that takes away from the scare factor! My gf said that this maze doesn't even count as a maze because it wasn't scary at all and its true :\ they either needa ditch musicians or ditch the whole 3D concept because for being our first soundstage house it deffinetly fell short. Now like i said the sets in this were really good, but aside from the facade "church" and a few others scenes. It didn't even feel any different to a tent house. I feel like they messed up buy making black Sabath the soundstage house :\ (I was able to do this twice as well)

    -The Walking Dead: No Safe Haven

    Okay I am a HUGE walking dead fan. And after last years epic maze I was expecting Murdy to top it this year! Okay so I went through this maze twice and let me say both times I went through it I felt disappointed. I felt like something was missing in the maze. Maybe it was the cast but it wasn't as scary as last years maze. :\ there are a lot of hallways in this maze also. Now the good about this maze is that it had the best sets from any other maze. Cell block C is AWESOME!! And the facade is by far the best! I think this maze has room to improve and can jump to number one again but as of now its not as good as insidious or evil dead!

    -House of Horrors with dubstep.....

    Didn't go in it waist of time lol

    SCAREZONES

    -Curse of Chucky

    This scarezone was okay it had one major problem! The fact that people are to immature and there trying to high five the scare actors who are Chucky and taking pictures of them because there small! it really annoyed me seeing people act this way. But I guess this scarezone was alright.

    -Klowns ( dont remember the title :P)

    This scarezone was pretty cool again all of Unis scarzones could use a little work but oh well it was fun.

    -Scarecrows

    I can't give this scarezone a review because it hardly qualifies to be considered a scarezone. Its just a bunch of scarecrows on stilts

    -The Purge

    I think Klowns was a lot better then the purge. But Klownz here was getting old so they had to do something different. I didn't get to see the go gos unfortunetly :,(. The scarzone is okay i guess sorta like the rest of them.

    -The Walking Dead: dead on arrival

    This scarezone was awesome! This is how all the SCAREZONES need to be! There was so much fog and a ton of walkers and the tank was there it was great! when you first get dropped off onto the backlot and see that your forced to go through these walkers to get to the mazes it's really intimidating and epic :) te whole backlot was really cool :)

    TERROR TRAM

    Okay terror tram deffinatly improved from last year it still feels the same but you'll noticed that they added a ton of new stuff to it to make it feel more fresh. I still would have loved to have gotten The Purge on this instead but there's nothing you can really do lol :P

    BILL AND TED

    Okay this years show does not compare to last years show at all! I was actually selected to be a part of a focus group and give my opinion on the show after I watched it so hopefully it improves! Te problem with the show was that it felt like the whole script was rushed and incomplete. The whole plot of being in OZ is sorta just corny and it was very anti climactic. A lot of the movies referenced were unkown and it just felt that it was a huge step backwards from last years show.

    The writer of the script did tell me that some of the shows problem is that Disney owns the rights to the recent Oz film so that explains why they couldn't do certain things with it :\

    Okay so ima run down how i rank the mazes overall

    1. Insidious

    2. Evil Dead

    3. Walking Dead

    4. El Cucuy

    5. Black Sabath

    Okay so that's my first review ever guys so be easy on me. Again sorry if it isn't professionally done like i know some of you do em ^.^ and sorry if the grammer isn't at its best i did all this on my iPhone lol :P

    Okay guys I got 4 mazes done by 8 o'clock and I didn't do the early entry, I watched the opening scareamonies. I ran to the lower lot did took the tram to the back lot waited like 10 mins for black sabbath then walked into walking dead litterly!!!

    Then went back to the lower lot and walked into insidious and evil dead :o not kidding guys!!!!! I should note that I did run from the opening scareamonies to the back lot tram though.

    Anyways that just left El Cucuy and Terror Tram left :) so you guys can do it all in one night especially if you do early entry :P

    But yea towards the middle of the night like at 12 the lines in the back lot were insane!!! DO THIS FIRST!!!!!!!

    Literally they were almost 3 hour waits :o

    I'm excited for Evil Dead and The Walking Dead (not hyped up about it, but excited) the terror tram is whatever I'll prolly only do it the first time I go anyways... I just feel like something that makes me super excited to go is missing. Idk I'm 100% sure the event will be fun and awesome regardless of what they have but like I said I want something big to draw me in. I'm hoping Pumpkin does that or that their is an actual 7th house this year. But at least we are getting a soundstage finally :D. Do you guys have any idea of what might go in there?
