  1. Halloween Horror Nights Official Facebook Page:

    Paul Duurloo "2 things: the street experiences the last 2 years have kinda sucked. I don't know if it's the fact that there seemed to be less scarachters or the fact that maybe you hired the same amount but spread them across the whole park. But it hadn't been great."

    Mary Anne Paton-Jones "There are a lot of good comments here...I agree with keeping the HHN's 'special' and not getting greedy. We started going in the very beginning, and it was AWESOME back then. We used to go back every year, but stopped for a while because we were disappointed with how 'commercial' it got. Less atmosphere...more people....BOOOO...bring back the intimate experience, with lots of fog, street goonies, and crazy houses!"
    Sean T. Smith "I've gone every year for 9 years now but I will not be attending this year if they don't have scare zones. The last 2 years have seemed way too overcrowded because of lack of content and lack of attractions. Ticket prices increase but content and attractions decrease?"
    Frank Holik "NO MORE walking dead or zombies period....try something new and original like the old dayts...."
    Tracey Backensto "I agree, and I'm a walking dead fan, but after last year hearing the theme song played on repeat for hours, I'm burnt out! I hate to say it, but if TWD is part of it again this year we won't be going either"
    Karen Diane Avella "I'm the same what Tracey. I've seen ever episode of TWD, but I can only take so much zombie -.-

    While Busch Gardens DID have a zombie house, they had so much more last year..."

    Kyle Campbell "spine-chilling street experiences. Please, I would really like it if HHNs went back to the traditional scare zones. Last year and the year before really lacked in that area."

    Dustin Swagn Faucett "Scare zones NEED to come back this year. Also, zombies are getting very old let's dig deep for gd ideas this year. I don't wanna say it, but maybe I should go to Tampa's Bush Gardens if HHN continues to decrease in pleasure and increase in price..."

    Christian Rodriguez If the horrendous street experiences happen again and you guys don't bring back scare zones I'm definitely not going

    Just a sample. #Encouraged

    Side note: J, I was terribly sorry to hear what happened to you and your family. Hope you'll still make it out!

    To Universal, all these people and these are just a few of the many making similar statements, in almost all cases are doing it because they greatly enjoy your product.

    Never tearing down HHN, just very much waiting for the "reset"!

    The way I see it is like this, I'll call it the Michael Bay effect. How much hate does he get? how many people hate and attack those movies? Tranformers and Bay are pretty hated by a lot of people,

    Yet how much each movie makes? so for someone that gets so much public hate Bay does pretty well financially. His movies are not even good, whether you like Transformers or not the movies are not the best. Yet look at all that money it makes.

    I Am sure Universal listens. But when the park sells out because of Walking Dead it must be hard to decide for them since the last two years did so well ticket wise.

    Im sure if Walking Dead comes back they will probably make just as much. The WD fans are pretty loyal

  2. seems like this is not something the regular hhn goer wouldnt be able to do, this could never work in a conga line situation so it would have to be done in small v.i.p groups

    but i they are going to spend money on doing something like this, I would rather just have universal make an "alone" type house where they do all that but just for you or your grpup. one big house where you pay 30 bucks to see instead of all the houses being like that but costing a fortune

  3. Killer Klowns has always been my dream house.

    I used to wonder so much how a RE and Silent Hill houses would be like, but after being disappointed, the only dream house for me is Killer Klowns. it's the only one that I dream about now.


    I don't even care if they even make it a good house, Just as long as they make the costumes look like the movie would be a dream come true for me.

    Nightingales is a must. that and Catacombs. I don't care what IPs they bring this time around just as long as we get one of those two this year.
    Like, even if the IPs suck or whatever, If we get to see a sequel to one of those two, that would be most excellent.

  4. I had a dream about HHN yesterday and I dreamed next year there were no scarezones........

    Anyways, Another thing my dream made me think about is,
    What if they did a "Haunted Halloween store" house. It's like you would have this really big store full of halloween props (Like Spirit) and then the props would come to life.
    So they could literally put Anything in the house and it would just be halloween decorations or props coming to life.

    I would like to see something like that. Maybe a warehouse or something.

  5. Actually, I was just thinking that we could potentially see a return to Islands as a "ten-year anniversary." It would allow crowds to swamp Diagon Alley for an extended period and not force the Studios to close early during the season following its opening.

    It would be fairly simple to pull off. Houses in Carnage, Thunderfall Terrace, Discovery Center, and potentially Poseidon. Extend paths similarly to 2004, only instead of going all the way into the Studios cut through the soundstages. That opens all of the soundstages for use, and queuing off to the sides in a "butterfly" like effect.

    Every year I keep hoping for a two park or Islands HHN year, every year I keep getting sad.

    I honestly thought with the amount of people Walking Dead brough, plus the Potter construction I thought maybe 2013 would be a 2 park HHN. I mean, it would have made sense I though.

    I still keep hope that I will be able to see HHN at Islands.... Still keep hope alive.

  6. I guess they would have enough to work with from season 3...


    I know how everyone is saying no more walking dead and how no one thinks they have anything to work with from Season 4 from walking dead.
    but I could see how they could have another house for next year. (I am not trying to be sarcastic about AHS I just saw the last episode)

    We never got a forest in either house. We never got trees or anything, The forest scarezone doesn't count. I'm talking about rooms designed as forest parts from the show.

    if they wanted to make a whole new house for next year they could make it a forest house, Have the camp set up, Bring the tank from the scarezone Inside the house. Bring the deer eater.
    Instead of the prison just have a forest part of the room with fences falling on you like in this season. Maybe have a bunch of fake bodies breaking the fence. have the sick zombies with blood on their face.
    I mean, I thought we would get a woods room this year, but we didn't. And Hollywood last year had forest and camp parts in their house. So it can be done.
    Im not saying I want this, Im not saying I hope for it to come back. But if they do they could totally do this. And a forest zombie house is something I wanted since 2012 when we found out about WD. they have not done that yet, so it would techincally be new. no walls, no buildings, just make a woods/forest house full of zombies.

  7. Hell yes to AHS and Insidious. Only thing about AHS is that i would really prefer they give it solely to season 3 and not a "best of" type deal like they did with TWD 1.0. Not saying that'd be bad because all 3 seasons are amazing and loan a lot of house material, but i think Season 3 has enough material to stand on it's own and be one hell of a witch/voodoo house with some incredible set design. And both would have to be in a SS.

    I have no problem with another video game because RE's only big problems (for me, in my opinion, were costumes and some SA placement) are easily fixable. So if there's awesome set design again, good costumes, and a greatly designed layout, i don't care what game it is.

    The Purge i'm a little iffy on. Mind you i haven't actually seen the movie, but i guess it could work well. The one property i would LOVE to see turned into a house is Pink Floyd's "The Wall". The album/movie/stage show all loan a lot of great material that could translate into an incredible house, though i think getting the rights to do that would be basically impossible, considering David Gilmour and Roger Waters have separate ownership of the name and music.

    I fully expect at least 4 IPs one more time before HHN25. They can have 3/4 SSs (if they use 4 again) and the Parade if necessary, but i really want an original SS next year. If it HAS to be a sequel, Catacombs and Nightingales would suffice, though if they do decide to use Catacombs (no arguments about that), it could just go in a tent again.

    I'm not so sure about them doing a 4th 3D house in a row. Afterlife was on the lower side of reviews and was always showing a fairly short line, even while being the only house right next to B&T. If they did another 3D IP, then maybe. But i think a 3D house has a slimmer chance of happening next year.

    Location wise, i can see the SSs holding 3 IPs and either Nightingales or an original, Parade being an IP, tents original, another Urban Legend, or one of them Catacombs, and the only thing i can think of for Disaster is maybe another Urban Legend that has to with a jungle or a place with warmer temperatures, since it's an outside venue.

    well American Horror Story 3 has been pretty lame. Not a lot they could work with besides the

    Zombies and the minotaur

    I mean, They can do Way more with the other two seasons, Or if they do a best of. I just don't see that much with season 3. it has been lacking. (Unless they do a witches/voodo generic house)

    another wishful thinking idea I had that I Know is impossible now would have been to have Marvel Zombies as a zone or house. I know, I know it would not happen in a million years.

    But I was trying to imagine a zone or house with zombie versions of the super heroes, that would be amazing to me. Just thinking about the costumes and the music... oh well.

  8. I guess the only realistic way would be to get sequels to houses. So I guess I wish they made a lot more sequels to older houses. Thinking about this, I could already see people whinning about houses being repeated Even if they never saw the originals. I still don't really understand why Havoc got a sequel when they could have made sequels to better houses.

    I kind of also wish we got some scarezones back as well. I would love to see Esqueleto Muerte appear again.

  9. One thing I do wish, that is never going to happen but I still wish it did, Is that I wish they repeated houses. Specially from before 2006. I wish they would just bring some of the best houses from the past back, the same way they were.

    I mean, It's going to be almost a decade from when people saw these houses. I can't even remember houses I did 4 years ago. I'm just saying this because I know someone can say "We don't want any repeats that stupid we want all New Sutff!!!" But, how bad would it be if they brought back houses from the time HHN was done over at Islands. But done in the other park.

    I know we get sequels sometimes, but I just wish they could bring some houses back every year. the best ones from the past.

  10. I can 100 Percent understand they don't want any kind of scarezone or anything near it. I get that. I get that they won't let Harry Potter be scary at all.

    what I couldn't understand from this is if WB says no to let it be open. This area could work for people that want to relax and not be scared. And it would greatly help crowds to have this open.
    I know if it is open I would probably spend most of the time here IF we get crappy scarezones again and if the lines are 1 hour. I would probably hang out around the Potter Area.

  11. They most officially statement on if they'd be able to use HP during Horror Nights was "We haven't asked." That also included a conversation about a story featuring fractured souls, murderous wizards, blood, death and monsters. What makes you think the person who wrote that story would a problem with a Halloween event where the darker elements of her story could come to life?

    technically it makes no sense... I agree. Seems pretty stupid to have a problem with the event while the books have all those creepy things in them.

    Also The Springfield area is not closed off. It has nothing to do with HHN and people were able to go there and eat and relax. No problems with Springfield and HHN being there.

    Having said that, like Veritas said, It really is starting to sound from what I hear around that the potter land will not be open for HHN, which is going to suck. Everyone is telling me to forget about Harry Potter area being open during HHN.

    Specially if we happen to get bad streets like this year..... That's is Really really going to sck.

  12. Or they could make a Walking Dead laser tag attraction like Japan's Resident Evil attraction. I would support this only because it would mean no more Walking Dead house at HHN.

    What about using Twister?

    I am still pretty baffled that Twister is still standing.

    They replace King Kong, Back to the Future, Now Jaws,Jimmy Newtron, They replace all these rides and stuff... and Twister is the one that is still standing?

    like, wtf? They could totally make that into a Walking Dead ride or something. or A 3D movie.

  13. I want

    American Horror Story

    Insidious

    Icon

    Icon house

    Original SCAREZONES

    No more TWD

    They will never do Alien. It's owned by MGM, which is a partner with Disney.

    Predator, on the other hand...

    I've been begging for a predator house... a Predator house with a queue line video and in a soundstage.... That would be a dream come true.

    But I've never had any faith in that ever happening

  14. My Two houses that I hope for HHN 24 are a house based off the movie "Alien" as that would be a great use for more puppets like AWiL and great costumes. My other house I wish for would be a house based off the music of Metallica. Specifically the stuff from '83 to '91 as I feel those were their prime years as a band. Not saying they aren't any good now, but I'm just saying that there old albums were the best. I have so many ideas for a Metallica based house going through my head right now. A scene for ...And Justice For All, where we are in a courtroom and the rows are lined with either dummies or actors. There could be a judge and as soon as he throws his gavel down, we see outside, that a statue of Lady Justice is being tore down by a bunch of ropes. That would bring in a good use for video screens like what they did in Black Sabbath 3-D at USH.

    about the Alien house, I think the rights to that are owned by Disney since they were supposed to make a ride and they never did. (plus alien appears in the movie ride)

    So I don't think they could do alien, but who knows...

  15. Diagon Alley will most likely be the primary method of "alleviating" the crowds. No chance they won't have the area open for the event if it's open during the day.

    I've heard several people say that the new Potter side will be closed off for HHN, with different reasons as to why.

    I thought it would be open of course, and I really want it to be open. I'm just saying what I keep reading, people keep saying it cannot be open during HHN or that Uni won't let it...

    I hope people are just wronng about this... Or just pure speculation, but every time that subject comes up, I always see so many people say it won't happen for X or Y reason....

  16. The latest Walking Dead season premiere got over 16 million viewers and merchandise sales for it have been huge. I'd say it's most likely going to come back again, regardless of whether or not we like it.

    i know some people have said this already on facebook and stuff (i probably said it before too) But if it brings that many people in they should just do a Walking Dead ride or replace Terminator with Walking Dead or something.... I mean seriously, Imagine the amount of people that would attend the park with both the new Potter side and with a Walking Dead ride or experience. If it brings this much people in for October alone, Why can't they do something that becomes Permanent? Doesn't even have to be that gory.... They could make it scary but not show any walkers eating people or anything.

    OR why not make it a year round house?
