Ah, my first year..
Picture it, Hollywood, Studio City, October 2008! I ventured into the unknown horrors that was Halloween Horror Nights with two friends I actively played MMORPGs with! I had heard of HHN since 2006, but never had the bravery and money to go! But ah, 2008 was a year of change!
(You're supposed to be reading this in your mind with a very cheesy and over-enthusiastic voice)
We ventured into the house of horrors filled with.. The Strangers! We explored Krustyland and escaped Sideshow Bob! We rode the Mummy and escaped Imhotep's Curse and nearly dodged the teeth and claws of bloodthirsty dinosaurs!
And finally.. we came face to face with Leatherface in the TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE MAZE!
I screamed! I shouted! I grabbed onto strangers in fear and apologized profusely! Leatherface was everywhere and the blaring chainsaw noises temporarily turned me into a madwoman!
How relieved I was to see the exit. I frantically rushed towards the exit only to be scared one last time at the Leatherface past the exit!
And then.. THE PIGS! Woo, they chased me good. I actually have some videos of me running for my life and screaming wildly, much to the entertainment of my friends.
We didn't get to do Freddy's maze.. my friends were too scared and I was personally too scared to go alone. As for Bill and Ted.. we didn't even know that the show was there! I'm personally kicking myself for not knowing because I've heard 2008 was the funniest year yet. But still, it really was a great night and was the spark that turned me into the HHN-obsessed nut I am today. <3
