  1. Budget really is a huge deciding factor in everything, especially at an event that floors the competition in terms of amount money spent making the event. When John Landis said he was amazed at the amount of money spent on the mazes, he wasn't joking. We're talking about an event that custom makes all of the masks instead of picking them up from party city and hires enough people so there's not a bunch of empty spots everywhere. HHNH may currently have one of the highest budgets in the country, but it is still a budget. If they are going to get a bigger return on another maze than a show, that is what is going to be done.

  2. I think guys do it more in HHN because they need to look cool in front of their friends that just saw them scream like Homer Simpson at a living statue gag.

    What gets the most is people who repeat the same awful joke over and over because the problem is people must have not heard it. Come on now. If it is the first thing that popped into your head chances are they have heard it before.

  3. Good: Having the floors be 3D in the beginning was a great touch. Very disorienting.

    Concept and story was well executed, didn't feel like a generic KSF style clown maze.

    Sweet Licks is a really fun character, same with Cutty. Did a great job balancing humor and horror, especially with the "endless guts" gag.

    Most of the older gags were done better this year, if only because of the angle play. Sweet Licks nailed me while I was checking out the "face cut away" gag with Cutty, and the projection during the electrocution scene was awesome.

    The human assembly line scenes were disgusting. One of the more disturbing scenes this year, at least from what I've seen.

    Bad: Blend in wall gag was done better last year. Still a good scare, but last year was better.

    Opening mirror sequence could have been better.

    Bubba kinda boring compared to Sweet Licks and Cutty.

  4. The biggest change is going to be From Dusk Till Dawn. It's in the backlot but you'll reach before AVP or TWD. If I were going, I would run (have we mentioned running before? Run) to TWD, AVP, FDTD, AWIL, Clowns, Terror Tram, Untold, and then rest a second while you check out scarezones and decide what to do.

    Also, the first Saturday was slower than most days due to most of the hardcore fans going Friday.

  5. Yeah, you can't even being to compare the popularity of AHS to TWD. AHS is the second most popular horror series, but it's a long drop to second. Or even the amount of maze fodder either of the most recent seasons have given. Actually expecting them to choose AHS over TWD would just be goofy. Last year the vast majority of people went because of TWD, and it's not going to be different this year.
