Sorry to hear you weren't picked. Based on last year, are they going to have auditions every two weeks for a while? I have a performance July 11th, so I can't sign up for that day.
It's been a bummer trying to get an audition since two weeks ago I was in NYC and logged on too late. Then I had to schedule off work the 27th in case I did get a spot - only to get nothing. I managed to get in the stand by line before it closed, so we'll see.
I ended up getting called for a full-time job here a few weeks later so it all worked out for me, lol.
I believe they do end up scheduling more auditions as needed. Not sure on the timeframe. I hope you're able to get into one!

Question for scareactors: is it always nearly impossible to get an audition spot? Universal said auditions open online for June 27th today at 4 PM. I refresh and refresh only to find nothing - UNTIL 4:31 a message appears saying audition is at capacity. So frustrating.
Per some of my regular scareactor friends, the 'outside' auditions are booked up because they changed the way that returning TMs signed up for theirs and those spots ran out quicker than usual. So now people who would usually go to those internal auditions are now having to snag these spots.
It took me a couple of rounds to score a spot last year, too. (I didn't end up getting picked, either)

I wasn't in one.
Hell no, the movie sucks.
Well f*ck, I agree with you. Are we sure there are no flying pigs?
I'm itching for information at this point, but as someone mentioned before I get that UO would have wanted to avoid HHN press around this time.
Fingers crossed we get a reveal soon. I'm waiting on more reveals before booking my mother's flights to come down. She decided she wants to go. She's never even watched a horror movie. It'll be interesting!

I'm kind of annoyed that we got this beautiful website reveal with no context...what are the chances of a house announcement this month?

Bigfoot stilt walker.... is that a type of stilts or something?
Yes, pretty much every time you see stilt people at Universal that's what they're using. Which is why the 'hybrid' stilt auditions are interesting--usually they don't use anything other than Bigfoots IIRC.
So...maybe something new inside a house? Or they wanted a different height range for street stilts?

It was false info spread to people about a Fortune Teller themed Cindy being the Icon with a maze called Dark Fortunes.
Thanks for clarifying.
Wonder how much truth there is to any of the icon rumours anymore.

Can't tell if witty tagline tie-in or actually hinting at a Grim Reaper icon.

Anyone else noticing the transition from red to blue and the extinguishing of the candles going along with that? Hot/cold? Descending into something? Or maybe just a design/aesthetic choice.

RE: hidden messages, there's a little circle just to the left of the leaves in the frame that doesn't seem to be anywhere else in the background. But I don't have a high-res enough file to get a clear idea of what it might be.
ETA: never mind. It does pop up in a couple of other places. Please resume the search, lol.

I think we have better things to talk about, but I wasn't accusing anyone of 'stalking'. This IS an invasion of someone's privacy, though. It's crossing a line. And I can imagine if you were in their shoes, you'd be creeped out by it, too. There is absolutely no reason to drag someone's personal life outside of their job into this without their consent. That's all I'm saying.
Anyway, let's get back to the important stuff.

I'm not going to go looking up examples for you, but there are apparently creeper fans bothering scareactorson twitter, asking them their roles, creeping on them at their non-HHN positions, that sort of thing. The kind of creepy nonsense that should be more unexpected than it is.
That nonsense with the license plate is just more of it. People just don't respect boundaries.
Yup. I'm also going off of anecdotal evidence but there's a LOT of toxic fandom around SAs and especially Entertainment performers. When I was just a guest I saw a lot of it among my social circle. Personally, I prefer it when fandom stops when the show/event/etc ends.
ETA: On a different note, I'm waiting with bated breath for Thursday and whatever information the Q&A (right?) may bring.

I saw this car driving down I-drive the other day while headed to work. Pulling up next to the car I see the driver was wearing a glasses and a horror nights polo. Thinking nothing of it he passes in front of me and I notice the license plate.
HHN S07. (Expiration on the plate is 12-17 if you're wondering, can provide larger photo if needed)
That of course being in relation to Walking Dead S07 that finished its run earlier this year. While this may relate AHS S07 that premieres this year, I doubt this type of advertising would be used for maybe an easter egg or preview within the house for Season 7.
If not walking dead (though highly probable), what could S07 mean?
I seriously thought this was a Poe/satire.
Speaking as a TM (but not as a part of the HHN team or for the company, as always)--please don't let your speculation extend into our personal lives. That's....a whole new level of unnecessary.

Missed these before.
The first one is audio from one of the Screamhouse queue videos, if memory serves.
The second one is obviously Jack's Pop goes the Weasel.
So...the second video. How likely would it be for Jack to return this year? Not that I want that, but with corporate having so much control over things I would not be surprised if they were to force it upon us.
Is that audio specifically linked to Cindy too? (Apologies, I'm a noob, only started going in 2015)

How would Wizard of Oz translate to a horror maze? Who even owns the rights [eta, I'm an idiot and didn't read above]? I feel like that's just not realistic.
The whole rumoured lineup/icon doesn't seem right to me. We'll have to see.

The current house space is only using 1/3 to 1/2 of the actual warehouse space.
Since I wade through its permits daily, B79B aka Parade Warehouse 2.0 is either complete or will be complete soon. There will be plenty of space for two houses.
So if we are getting 2 houses in B79, I'm wondering what the tradeoff is. Are we confirmed for 9 houses or could it be stretching to 10 (not including any VR possibilities?)

Mike was retweeting something a friend of his said - his friend had arrived in NY and due to jet lag couldn't get to sleep and watched a favorite horror film set in NY. Mike just retweeted it and said "Wonderful". He approved of the film choice and it likely has nothing at all to do with HHN.
Inferno is a Dario Argento film that has some scenes in Rome, but mostly takes place in NY. It is his follow up to Suspiria and is the second film in the Three Mothers trilogy. The first two films are true classics and are quite wonderful.
But it took Argento over a two decades to finally make part three: The Mother of Tears which was quite frankly a huge disappointment.
Nevertheless a house based on either Suspiria or Inferno would be quite amazing, but I fear those cult films are just not well known enough by the general public for him to ever get approval. A long shot at best.
I'd love a house based on the Argento version of Phantom of the Opera. Just the film itself is bad enough to be scary...

im sure if a person paid enough uni would do whatever they needed lol. maybe if they get 1000 bucks they will make sure to get you to bill and ted from backstage lol
But in all seriousness the only thing i dont like is that HHN is already as tame as it is, it is very tame (Compared to other events) and i am afraid the diversity department will try to make it less scary.Or if they cut down the zones. how can you skip the zone in San Francisco Or the zone in Central Park? there is literally no way to get to Bill and ted without going through a zone...
Unless they put together a RIP tour where those people would not get any attention from the actors but then again what would be the point????Whats your solution to seeing Bill and Ted but not being scared as much?
On 9/3/2016 at 8:34 AM, Nightcrawler said:LOL, maybe get a group with a bunch of big guys who can surround you at all sides when you're going through the Zones?
A) I actually found the BEST solution...I started working for the company a couple of weeks ago. Now I just pop in from the back
B)That's the funny part...I actually found one since my boyfriend works in Texas. Hung out with all the Leatherfaces one evening before their orientation. It was literally what you described--5-foot-3 me in a crowd of 6-foot-5 burly dudes!

well to be fair bill and Ted is Part of Hallowen Horror nights.. thats just how it is. thats kinda like me having a fear of spiders or dragons but wanting to do the potter ride lol, HHN is an event that you paid extra to get into, you are literally choosing to enter it. technically everyone is there for the houses and the streets and the horror stuff. Sure bill and ted is fun, but having a safe passage for people that just want to see Bill and ted and not experience anything scary seems like a very specific thing that not a lot of people would need.
Perhaps they could sell a special kind of hat or shirt that would allow the actors to know to NOT scare that person, I could see something like that being a better alternative. maybe they could sell a specific blinky hat that would warn actors to not mess with that person. But still bill and ted IS part of the horror event.This is true, but my point is less 'there should be a way to get to B&T without going through zones' and more 'there should be better communication about where people with disabilities and varying needs can take a break from the scares'. Just like how those of us who use the AAP need a break from the crowds and such. I LOVE HHN, I love being scared, but I have a smaller 'capacity' of how much I can handle. I meet the park halfway by mapping out my own path through the park, where I can take a break, etc. Just wish there was the same kind of guide to HHN as there is for the park itself for those of us with these needs.
IIRC Universal is slowly starting to bring in more people to their Diversity and Inclusion department, specifically for disability access type stuff, so my fingers are crossed that they will improve in that area. I always have a laugh when people tell me 'you should avoid HHN if you're like this, you chose to go'. I like HHN *because* I'm autistic, as it has become a special interest of mine.
Anyway, back to the regularly scheduled discussion.

soon uni will have to add giant trigger warnings and some safe spaces to the event lol.
Political debate aside, I wish they would designate some kind of safe space. I almost didn't attend my first HHN because all I wanted to do was go to B&T (I was going on a comp ticket) and I would have had to go through 2 scare zones either route to get to the theater.
Since I was pushed into experiencing the event itself and found a great community of friends who also go so I was able to enjoy it, it's less of an issue, but being autistic with SPD means I need to have the ability to regulate my 'intake' of this stuff. There are ways of hiding out in certain places, but no true safe space other than Diagon. Even Mel's wasn't safe if you sat in a window seat.
I won't be crying out to Guest Services anytime soon (mostly because they already don't have a great handle on disability stuff--waiting in line to get the AAP so I don't have to wait in line, anyone?), but still. Accommodations are no political claptrap or joke

It has begun. Saw this in my local Publix:
Also, yes the wife and I bought the uber mega super frequent fear with express. Mainly because I have fridays and saturdays off this year.
Has anyone ever had any success asking their Publix to take the standee home after the event? I want one so bad.

I can't remember who shared this yesterday, but I downloaded it to my phone, lol. It's comiiiiiiiing!

So I'm not in any way a fan or follower of AHS, but this article caught my eye: http://m.tmz.com/2016/08/01/ahs-season-6-theme-set-photos/
This is a little left field, but is Requel really an original? Or could it be that Roanoke has been re-fitted to match the IP?

This link is from OI and shows a pic of the path to right side of the main entrance for onsite guests. I've always had park tickets and done S&S so have never used it. Not sure if it's still a thing for 26.
Heh. Kind of annoying for us grumpy locals who don't feel like spending $ on the hotels after buying into passes.

I just want clarification on the theme...that is a major determining factor for me in how much time I'll be out in the parks. If I can enjoy the SZs and theming along with the shows it won't matter to me if I can't handle half the houses.
