I was attempting to point out that if they did hire a company it wasn't something they needed to do. With a decent IT person and a decent camera they could have done the same thing for free or next to nothing. An IT person that I would think a company like Universal would have already on staff. You say they spent a ton of money on last year's stream? For all that money spent they got a terrible quality stream. If you think that stream was good then you need to check out some of the stuff currently out there. A 500 dollar camera could have picked up things better than the camera's used last year. You mention facebook, the technology is out there for a great HD stream. The UFC streams live HD content on facebook every other week or so. Don't even tell me Universal can't figure out how to do that themselves. If they can't I think they need to hire some better personnel, although I know they already have people that good on staff. As for you saying they didn't have any ads so money had to come from somewhere, I would argue that the whole thing was one big ad. It was a promotional tool for Halloween Horror Nights, in my book that makes it an ad. It didn't work so I believe that's the real reason it didn't return this year.

You do realize streaming online cost's very little right? With sites like uStream even you could do it for free with a computer and webcam. It's not like last years was amazing quality. I'm sure they have someone on staff that can figure out cheap streaming options. I'm guessing the real reason is for one it gave away a scare and it may have to do with web traffic for the stream last year. If they didn't convince people on the fence to spend their hard earned cash on a ticket then it didn't do it's job and was pointless to do again this year. I would like to see a constant stream in a scarezone like 7 all night every night. Of course how many regular people are going to sit at their computer and watch HHN? I'm guessing it was just the hardcore fans watching and we're going to go to the event no matter what.

It looked so real, we really did enjoy that scene every time through. I think my favorite scene was either the opening scene with H.R. Bloodengutz because of the interaction or The one Jason just mentioned in Saws N Steam.

Hopefully someone who knows can answer this quickly. Does anyone know if you can take the binky cups back into the park for your second, third night? I want to take mine back in but don't want it confiscated. Please I need to know soon because I leave in an hour and a half.

Awesome house, the scenery is BEAUTIFUL but why was there no snow in the first and final room's tonight? The 2 previous nights I went there was snow in those rooms, tonight there was no snow.

I know but we're less than a week away. I was more or less talking about the picture. Hopefully something is announced soon. I want to meet some fellow members. I've seen several of you in the queues but feel odd approaching you if I haven't talked to you before hand. Mark (_mz) I saw you taking video in Acid Assault tonight and wanted to talk to you but didn't feel right about bugging you while you we're shooting video. I'm on that for sure wearing a blue shirt and an orange glow necklace. Can't wait to see the footage.

Ok so I've been to HHN 3 nights this year. First I must compliment most of the ops personnel. You are doing a good job but...... You knew there was a bit coming didn't you. I had a small problem tonight with the girl at the beginning of Nevermore. I was literally 2 feet behind the couple in front of us yet was told to keep moving and to close the gap. I'm sorry but what was I supposed to do? Should have I grinded my crotch on the girls ass? I believe in personal space and I refuse to get into a space within 1 foot of the girl in front of me. Even though I wanted to. Believe me I would have loved to rub up on her because she was beautiful but I refuse to invade her personal space like that. Other than that one person I've barely noticed the rest of you ops people. I do wish you could have a mask or something but that's besides the point. Your doing a good job of lurking in the shadows and not making your presence known other than that one person.

Ok I haven't seen the show yet but need to rant a bit about security or whatever the people outside of the queue are. Tonight myself, my wife and Grimp0nd we're headed to the 10 o clock show. We we're there at 9:59. One of the girls doing the queue was waving the group in front of us and us in to the show. The other cut us off. We were right with the other group with nobody behind us and she cut us off. She wouldn't let is us in. Why would she cut us off but not the group in front of us? There was nobody within 50 feet behind us. We were literally right behind the group in front. I think it was rediculous, very uncalled for. The girl at the end of the queue was like "sorry I tried to get you in". My problem was not with her but the other girl. What was the problem, didn't she like my flyers/phillies hybrid shirt? Was it Jason's (grimp0nd) accent? Why we're we cut off but the group literally right in front of us weren't?

Back from my 3rd night and I have to thank the person who's playing H.R. Bloodengutz. I've seen both casts and your such a cool actor. Every time I've been through has been a fun experience. Tonight I talked to you about the button on your throne. My first night we talked about my favorite holiday and the second night we talked about the food to the right of me. I love the interaction. 3 more nights for me. Hopefully 3 more conversations with mr bloodengutz.

Is there an update on an official forum meetup Halloween night yet? I will have 3 members with me and we're all wondering what's going on.

I picked Reflections of Fear. I picked it because overall I had the best time that year. Not only was the event great I watched my Phillies win the world series in Finnegans that year.

Ok the time has come for me. I will be there every FFP day from Wednesday on. This is me. I will be wearing this shirt Wednesday and several other days since it's unique.

Hey MarchOfProgress I think we agree on most of the alcohol stuff. I was just saying the security guard could have been worse. I agree with you when you say if 1 person out of 1000 puking in a bush keeps HHN alive then make it 2 out of 1000 and add more scares. Alcohol is already grossly overpriced at the event so there isn't much more they could do to stop people from getting hammered. It brings in money and they'd be fools to ban it. I think the main problem is people showing up already drunk and then drinking a few more drinks at the event. Oh and get a straight shot and it's not near as watered down as the mixed drinks. Are you saying 50 wrote bub then actually said buh? Because I clearly hear bub. You can call a cat a kit but it's still a cat. It's not a big deal either way. I have more important things to do that argue over a gangster rap lyric. If you call beer buh then that's all you. I call beer buurr most of the time anyway.

Be happy the cop could have taken you to jail instead of just making you pour out your buh. Oh and by the way it's You can find me in da club, bottle full of BUB. As in bubbly or as most humans call it champagne. So you can call it beer again if you want. I saw 2 people throw up at EPCOT last year when I was there. It was a warm day but they we're both hammered. As Hush said some people can handle their alcohol and some can't. If someone gets drunk at HHN most likely their going to do the same at a football game or rock concert. All public events that serve alcohol have problems with people who can't handle their drinks, not just HHN. So to those who think there's a problem with alcohol at HHN, should we just ban alcohol outright? Ban it at all public events? What should be done about it because it's not just a problem for HHN. Like I said before get drunk be happy but know your limits.

This is me, I won't be wearing a nightmares shirt but I will always have a Penn State one strap back pack on. I'll be there every FFP night from the 19th on.

It's up to the drinkers to act like adults and know their limits. They could line the park with one gigantic bar and I could care less. It's up to you and me as adults to know our limits. I always drink when I'm at a haunt (HHN or local) yet I know when enough is enough. I think there's more of a problem with pre gaming at one's home or hotel or even in the car, in the parking garage. I say that because it's not like they have drink specials where you can get a 2 dollar shot or 2 dollar draft. Let's face it, to get drunk at HHN cost's a lot of money. If someone is dumb enough to spend 80 bucks on some beer then they deserve to be throwing up in the bushes. Bartenders shouldn't serve visibly drunk patrons though. To combat the drunk driving stop serving alcohol an hour or two before park close. Then at least they sweat some of it out, maybe eat some food and drink some cola or something. There's no need to punish the rest of us responsible drinkers because a few people don't know their limits. I vote alcohol stays and even increases. Get drunk be happy. Just know your limits, problem solved.

Great looks like the 2 weeks I'll be there are both hell week(s). Good thing for express, 7 nights to attend and not going on Friday and Saturday nights.

To answer your original question I've never been asked for the credit card but have been asked for I.D. I would just do what CinemaOfTheDead said though. It seems easier and less stressful. If I had known about being able to do that last year I would have.

I can't wait for this house now. Thanks for posting.

There's already a topic for this right

Sad thing is I think I started that accidentally by asking someone how they knew it wasn't a ouija board for sure. I actually said "how can you be so sure". I came back a few days later and boom it exploded. Oops haha. Anyway we should have known since we've known about the "Rune Room" for what seems like 6 months. I had to edit this because I looked back and it was you Minij83 that I asked that. I was thinking you had inside info or something haha. Sorry that started trouble for you, it wasn't my intention.

Thanks, call me cheap but I'm glad we can keep the glasses. It's a free souvenir and I like free, I spend too much on souvenir's anyway. As for the single rider entrance for HRRR that's good for me. My wife hates roller coasters, hopefully express works though because that'll be even quicker.

Hmm so from the pictures I saw that a draft beer in a blinky cup is 9 dollars. Needless to say I'll be pregaming. Of course I need that blinky cup though. Does anyone have a picture of what they look like this year?

For all of you who have been through the house do we get to keep the glasses again this year? Also where do you get the glasses? When you enter the event or when you enter the house?
