QueenoftheBunnies

I wonder how long the squishy swamp floors will last. I know last year they got rid of some of the floors in Tomb. I really hope the Voodoo Queen will make an appearance and get to do her sacrifice.

Critical it looks like you've got some competition as resident grump. People are trying to out-complain you.

Wow that was pretty detailed. I think someone might be in trouble But I'm super excited to hear that there will be flying scareactors in The Fallen! That and The Reaping are my most anticipated houses this year!!

QueenoftheBunnies: S/D October 6th, 8th

This this 100% all of this. Also, there are so many negative comments on here good lord people. Use your energy for something better than endless bitching on a forum for a Halloween event. Anyways, has anyone been able to figure out how "hive" relates to a vampire house? Is there a queen bee vampire ordering around her vampire workers? Omg did I just figure it out? I wonder if we're going to face a giant Queen Vampire at the end of the house final boss level style.

Either that or they originally wanted to give us more and now they aren't able to. I'm hoping they do something other than Insidious and Purge in that house. Sinister should be great but I would also love to see Oculus, and Hush. They could do some really cool stuff with Oculus.

I should've clarified in my second post, I started counting at 2007. I'm smart enough to know not to count the years that didn't even have IPs.

Ok so, looks like IP vs. Original for house of the year comes out with Originals having more (in case anyone was wondering). I know this has been said before, as much as I love the original houses it would seem weird for Universal to NOT have houses based on IPs. Other theme parks can get away with 100% originals, but for a theme park that is already completely based around IPs, it would only make sense to have their Halloween event include IPs.

Does anyone happen to know the Houses of the Year for the past 10 years? I would be interested to see the ratio between IPs and originals.

I'm pretty sure they planned on doing something more with the Soul Collector idea and it fell through. I also think that countdown was originally for something much better than a damn wallpaper. I swear, I want a tell-all book from the Universal staff about this year's horror nights. There's no way all of this was just out of pure laziness. Some kind of shit had to have gone down.

There's less than a month before the first date. I'm guessing we'll get our full reveal about 2 weeks from now. I would LOVE to be a fly on the wall at Universal's offices right now. There's got to be something going on to make this year the way it is and I'm curious as to whether it's trial and error of a different marketing technique or if they were having a lot of issues with things and don't want to announce things until they know for a fact they can use them for the whole event. However, I don't understand why they haven't/can't announce the originals when they've already started tweeting out photos from them.

I sold my soul to a certain mouse last year so I've spent every season in FL. Even though I've worn shorts and a t shirt to every HHN I've gone to, I would still gladly sip hot apple cider walking through the scarezones. Last year I substituted that with hot butterbeer (10/10 strongly recommend). Even though it's usually hot/warm, i still think they would make a killing selling fall treats at a booth.

Listen, I would cry happy tears all over that damn park if they sold hot cider/fritters/cider donuts/pumpkin goodness. Don't get my hopes up. WHY do they not offer proper fall/Halloween snacks??

Moving along though: who here went to HHN when it was at Islands? Was it any good there? With all the construction plans, it looks like HHN at Islands may be making a comeback. It's so heavily themed though I'm interested to hear how that worked. Pumpkins back in Central Park is the best news I've heard all week! Yesssss!!!!!

Agreed. I don't see Bill and Ted being gone forever. They're such an HHN staple that they'll be back. I think they just need to figure out where they can put them first.

That was tagged incorrectly. We don't have a terror tram.

Share share share! Show your sources!

A+ gif usage. I don't know about you, but that house was the only one that gave me a sense of impending doom. I had to go buy myself a churro afterwards.

Honestly, try your best not to look scared or they will go after you. I agree with DraculaTeeth that your first house is probably going to be the worst because you don't know what to expect, but just get yourself a twisted tator and all will be good. My very first house ever was Halloween during 24 because I figured since I was familiar with it, it wouldn't be as scary. I'm pretty sure the people behind us thought I was part of the house because of how loud I was screaming. Fortunately, there was no one in front of us. Diagon Alley is another good spot to get your nerves down. I've also found that trying to (politely) banter with the scareactors makes it more fun. There's a good chance they'll still go after you or partner with another scareactor to get you, but at least you'll have a laugh about it. Like last year I went and got a fishy green ale from Diagon Alley and started to walk through fisherman's wharf when one of the scareactors approached me and got in my face. I said hi and he pointed at my drink and I went "oh crap is this inappropriate to drink here?" And I could tell the scareactor laughed and then shortly after I had a hook inches from my throats from a scareactor behind me. But real talk, you'll be fine and you'll have a blast! Going by yourself is amazing because you get to do what you want and you'll notice more things. Have fun, man!

It's just me. Poutine is non existent where I'm from and I tried it for the first time last year in Disney Springs and fell in love. I want it any chance I get. I don't know about you guys, but I would LOVE to know what Mike thinks about marketing's plan this year.

Ok I'm bored at work so I decided to ask Mr. Google where the poutine is at HHN and according to my findings, it's at the stand labeled Loaded Fries (makes sense, duh). Whoever goes to HHN first, please report back to me with your findings and whether or not they compare to the poutine at Disney Springs. This is an important mission.

If I remember correctly, they have Garlic, Salt & Vinegar, and Season Salt. Nothing spicy. And then of course there's the mysterious poutine.

Garlic!!!! Gotta keep those vampires away! But all jokes aside the garlic one is the best.

Yeah no I don't think so. My broke college self isn't going to fork over money to go to something I'm not super hyped about. Last year I was immediately sold by Chance, so I went. Also this is such a weird thing to be on a high horse about but whatever makes you happy, I guess. Thank you

Dude, no. I don't go down to Orlando every October JUST for HHN. I have a lot of friends down there that I like to visit and I spend more time at Disney than Universal. HHN is just a bonus that I enjoy. If they don't have anything that sells me on going, I'm not going to go. I'll save myself a couple hundred dollars and go get drunk at Disney Springs or Epcot instead. Take a seat.
