  1. sadly got rid of all my pins, most of my shirts and posters and such. No more room and I and it is losing interest as time goes by. I have a number of things I am going to get rid of soon as I am moving more then likely will give away rather then move it when I move will keep you all updated. The only thing I am keeping I think is my 2000 and 2001 shirts. Most of what I have now is coins from wehn they did the parades some shot glasses and stuff from hhn 13 i think have to look it is all boxed up.
  2. First Frog Bogs, toggs are awesome I have a set and they are amazing. I was in Orlando on Friday and Saturday and I have never ever seen rain like it was Saturday. We went to Sea World during the Day they never ran Manta or Krakken but to test and then decided not good to ride. Sea World is not bad to wander around since there is mainly Shows but I am sure HHN had to be miserable as it rained even worse at Night. Sad Part is you paid higher to go on Saturday then got Zero scare Zones and no Death Drums doesn't seem fair but that is the name of the game. Sea World charged the same for no Coasters.
  3. I saw your post where you want to get in Horror Full time or learn more about it, I suggest 2 events Hauntcon and Midwest haunters con. HHN is next to impossible to get in with a degree in art and putting in years of work at USF. I live in Georgia and am fortunate to see Numerous other Haunts. If you want to see something amazing look up this webpage. www.fearworld.com

    also goggle z...

  4. Did the Tour on the 29th of Sept 11 am version. We spent most of are time taking pictures and got separated completly from the group numerous times. We did get some great information on the Tour such as The Forsaken was Built By a new company that HHN had never used before and that the Execs Where Blown away with what they saw. They didn't put a facade out front so they could focus on spending Money in the House itself and lastly the House itself is Inspired by the movie The Fog. Also the Scarezone with the changing walls works NOTHING like they hoped it would. And that the 7 scarezone had to be toned down for Budget. Also the Pendulum in the Poe house is a pain in there Butt,,lol. It pays to hang around the back to learn cool facts they don't tell on the tour.
  5. 2 crappy years in a row...What happened to this show it used to be a must see now it is Must leave. I watched numerous people get up and leave during the show. I heard boos I mean I thought last year was bad. If Universal is more worried about Political Correctness then putting on a good show it is time to stop doing this show. Please Bring back Mr. Burns instead of a rip off character from the Jetsons and Flintstones. And really what was the point of OSama Bin Laden was that supposed to be Funny? Why not just Bring out a Nancy Grace and have her chase Casey Anthony. I had 5 people with me 2 of them left half way through and we left when the songs started at the end. You had huge summer movies but since Transformers, Harry Potter, Fast Five, Thor and Captain America are all tied up they stayed away Sad to see what this show has become.
  6. Wow amazing, sorry don't get the concept of earning a shirt you can buy. I have been going for years and actually quit buying merchandise in 2002. I used to collect a number of things actually gave away 3 of my shirts. I have only keep my HHN X shirt because I like the " Are you afraid of the Dark" on the back. I actually sold a lot of my merchandise and have more stuff I will be doing closer to the event. Sadly my interest have changed as I have gotten out and found other haunts and events.
  7. I find waking up to reality a lot more scary then any haunted house concept. But true terror is never were you seem to find it. Fear is different for every person to me taking an average situation and turning dark and twisted is by far the best.
  8. I love the first review, and get a bigger kick out of the line the Reputation of 2002 RUN. The original Run was nothing like anyone who didn't do it thinks. I did that House looked forwarded to that house and walked out going What the Hell was that. If That House was done exactly as it was done People would call for someone's Head.
  9. If a Pirate Theme is done it will be a new character new story BUT Universal I don't see them doing one. I would more see HOS doing one as Pirates are a big theme in the Tampa area. The thing I would love the most is capping some of the over run crowds. They close the park at Christmas time to make a better experience when they reach a certain number, I will bet that number is surpassed numerous night of HHN. I am betting on a Restaurant themed haunt in the near future and an Upcharge house coming very soon. Had a talk with one of the guides on my unmasking the horror tour who kind of leaned with there answer that way.
  10. Go in and hit Legendary Truth, Hades and Psychoscarepy then Zombiegeddon skip orfanage and go to tent houses do Havoc then do Hallowed past then Catacombs. BUT you have to be at the park EARLY gates open about 6 so get there around 5. Sundays are normally very busy. Skip Bill and Ted. I did all houses Thursday in 2 hours and 15 minutes including the orfanage which was a walk on. Also inside there will be a huge number of stay and scream guest so you will hit lines immediately.
  11. I read something about actors getting comfortable it had nothing to do with the actors they did the best with what they had. The show is badly written unfunny and no adlibbing can help it. I did the show with 7 people who have gone to HHN for years and seen numerous Bill and Ted's and we all say in disbelief at how bad it was. I have also talked to Numerous people who have been on different nights who are various ages and they have all agreed it is terrible. If it was a few people I might think eh opinion but when it is nearly 90 percent of the people you talk to then there is a problem. If you have free time go see it but you have been warned If you have to skip something at HHN make it this show.
  12. Did the Sept 30th 11 am tour. Our tour did Hades, Psychoscarepy and Legendary Truth. I have done the tour 4-5 times over the years. It is nice to see the houses and got some great shots. Not sure if I will do it next year 50 dollars is a lot for a rehash of the past and the Houses. May skip a year or two this year was a large group and it took away from it. The last few years we had group of 6 and under. we had between 12-15 people and the guide was fantastic and you did learn a lot about the props and some of the scare that I would have missed doing the House with out it. The friend and I were the back of the line and took a number of pictures of each other with the props and got to talk to the other 2 people who were guides but weren't leading the group.
  13. Bill and Ted was so easy to Review this year...CRAP,,,PILES AND PILES.. I have never seen an audience so ready to leave a theater. I in fact have a theory I think people were hoping the theater would blow up with the Iphone bomb that we wouldn't have to suffer through any more of the show. I think when i was in the show (Thursday oct 30th 845) maybe 20 people stomped there feet to make the bombs not go off. Holy Crap the music selection sucked( OMG Living on a Prayer and Working for the Weekend montage) Oh worst DR. EVIL ever also. Let me mention a few things they missed hmmmm AVATAR, Tiger Woods, Alice in Wonderland, remake of the Karate Kid hell they could have thrown in the Burger King Breakfast thing and they made fun of BP why not the Tea Party. I talked to other people leaving when we were walking out and they were all amazed how bad the show was. These were people who had been coming for years and they were just in disbelief it was that bad. Nothing can save this show unless the theater blows up before it is on again.
  14. Let's Be honest there are only so Many Haunt Ideas out there.. And the more years you do Events them more ideas you see. Busch doesn't have movie rights so I don';t thinkk you will ever see Movie Houses.
  15. Hey If you really want some quality time with them go here www.spookyempire.com They along with a number of other guest will be there.
  16. Little Lesson time a number of years ago HHN came up with the concept of an extreme House, It even made it to the local news sadly HHN never came through with the house. It is a very tough concept to try and pull off. HOS is at least attempting to try it, I have done both events for a number of years 13 with HHN and 8 with HOS and I have already bought my ticket to do alone. Which I will be doing Alone. I will say this and see if it comes true, If this concept works watch for HHN to attempt it soon. Oh and if you think both events don't look at the other for ideas, Look at scarzones from Hos last year and look at a certain Day of the Dead based scarezone at HHN this year.
  17. Sadly Golden tickets continue to Give Cedar Point Best park every Year Really makes you wonder who votes on these things.
  18. Ok, Here is my Dark Horses for B&T.................. Betty White,,Yep it was her year. Iphone and all the issues with connection. not sure it is a dark horse but Inception ending Mel Gibson his rants were the news for a while not sure Universal has the stones for that one. Glenn Beck, he took huge amounts of heat and had a huge year
  19. I have more at Home, When I started going in 97 there were hardly any digital cameras My first digital camera was 600 dolalrs and couldn't hardly flash through the fog. I have upgraded every other year till my new one has night vision. Well post more soon....
  20. The cart with the wheels is the Rat Lady, The Disaster is the Clash of the Titans or mythology House, So far the pictures are not telling a lot of anything...
  21. First, People don't have to drink to have a good time. I am 46 don't drink and don't care to. Never cared for the taste, not a recovering alcoholic just not my thing. I have no Problem with people drinking at the event. What I have a problem with is People who get drunk at the event and use the excuse oh he is drunk. LIke OH because he is drunk he should have the right to ruin your fun. Oh I did forget to mention2 small facts, I was hit in 1985 by a drunk driver and totaled my 3 month old Camaro and they were driving with no Insurance so I had to pay for everything of my deductive and rental car. Also one of my best friends BF was killed and she severely injured by another drunk driver. But you know what it's OK they were Drunk... Get my point, drink have a good time but NO ONE has the right to ruin anyone else's good time at the event. Have some drinks and enjoy but know your limit. I wish Universal would throw more idiots that don't know there limit out of the event and maybe people would get the message.. Also Oysterhead I am not Lying and don't find it funny that you put that comment up there that people that say NO were one of those 3... Sorry my opinion no trying to start anything but that is a broad generalization.
  22. I have some things including a rare 2000 and 2001 glass from the event I have never seen online and and all the pins from 2001 till 2008 and various signs and such. I am on the verge of point most of it all on ebay just because I have to much stuff and it holds less interest to me anymore. I may hold a couple things including my HHN X shirt, I gave away 3 shirts last year that were from before late 90's and Islands of Fear. Will keep you posted on what I am going to do.
  23. When New Line had the franchise characters they told Universal how to use them and what to do that year. Don't believe me ask the scarectors who were told not to take pictures in costume that played these characters. They told Universal not to let any of there characters be seen together as it would confuse people. Also there were Many pissed guest who thought they were going to get pictures taken with Jason, Freddy and Leatherface...Didn't happen they only got JACK. I am not a fan of redoing the new line Houses unless Universal has complete control of any of it. I will say this Robert Englund is coming to Spooky Empire Ultimate Haunt Weekend in October in Orlando. The last time he came was when HHN did the New Line Houses, so my be a coincidence maybe a clue. I will say it again If you didn't do HHN 16 you may be happy with a rehash of the event but if you did I don't see being Happy if they redo that again. All will be answered soon and then Universal can turn the Hype machine on.
  24. I don't remember any of them in the side went in...But hell it was 13 years ago. I remember the things I posted I have seen so much it all runs together.
  25. To me it looks like Bloody Mary, There are plenty of people out there with way to much time who do images and things and try to pass them as real...It looks like fan art. Also back in the 90's HHN did Museum of Horror as a House, As sticking to the Theme it could be a return with past scenes of HHN. When I did Museum of Horror in 97 it was many different movie and Tv scenes. They had scene from the xfiles, Scene from Fargo with the wood Chipper, Crazy Family on a couch watching tv the wife looked like John Travolta in Hairspray and someone sprayed water on you in that scene. It was a strange House very different then what everyone is used to know.
