    Halloween Horror Nights 23 Wishful Thinking

    in Halloween Horror Nights 23

    Posted

    What with Uni's current focus on attracting the family demographic, a random thought occurred to me on the drive home. Do you think they would apply any part of the "family friendly" scenario to this year's HHN? My thought and hope is a resounding NO, and with the fans clamoring for more blood and guts and Bloodengutz, I would think this is the response of most fans. Anyone have any opinions or insights to the contrary?

    If you want a family friendly event then go to Disney for Not So Scary Halloween. Leave HHN to the Big boys and Girls. That is all... :freddy::jason::leatherface:

    Halloween Horror Nights 23 Wishful Thinking

    in Halloween Horror Nights 23

    Posted · Edited by HORRORLANDO

    I would like to see the original scarezones return. To me they set the atmosphere for HHN.

    A mix between IP and original houses is always good.

    An icon for HHN 23.

    No Nicki Minaj, Kesha or Justin Bieber mentioned at all in the Bill and Ted show. :wacko:

    More fog.

    An extra house/maze.

    A better website. Like the ones before 2010.

    Opening scareamonies.

    No magic show. Unless they get Penn & Teller.

    That's all so far...

    HORRORLANDO'S HHN 22 Review

    Posted · Edited by HORRORLANDO

    My Review of HHN 22 for 10/17/12. I was able to do all the houses that night in 1 hr and 40 min. Gotta love the Stay and Scream... :)

    silent-hill-hhn-2012-550x385-1.jpg

    This was the first house I did and I thought they captured the detail from Silent Hill perfectly. Every inch of this house to me was amazing. The best part of this house of course was the nurses. And yes I did get a couple of nice scares from them. Another cool part was seeing Alessa at the top of the stairwell. It added a certain creepiness to the house in my opinion. All in all I loved this and it was the one I went through the most. 10/10

    gothic-hhn-2012-550x355-1.jpg

    Now on to Gothic. I can definitely see why this got house of the year. It was just incredible. The facade to this house was amazing. Everytime I stepped foot in to that soundstage I saw some things that I didn't see before. From beginning to end the scares didn't stop. I also really liked the masks they used in this house. They were alot better than the ones used in Your Luck has Run Out scarezone at HHN 21. Towards the end where the Gargoyle springs towards you from the dark tunnel I actually got so freaked out I lost my sunglasses. It was just plain awesome. 10/10

    dead-end-hhn-2012-550x356-1.jpg

    Next Dead End. The facade to this house kinda reminded me a little of LT. The Wyandot Estate from HHN XX. I really liked the overall feel of this house and the effects used in it were pretty damn cool. The use of the vortex in this house was genius. Got 1 or 2 nice startles from this house which are always a good thing. 9/10

    the-walking-dead-hhn-2012-550x383-1.jpg

    Now comes The Walking Dead. Dead Inside. In my opinion not a bad house at all. First time I went through it was still light outside so it really didn't feel all that immersive to me. Eventhough the scareactors were amazing it just didn't click for me. Lucky enough I was able to do this house again at night and to me that made all the difference. Only thing I can say is that the scareactors are the ones who made this house. The scenic pieces just didn't pop out as much. But I still liked it none the less. 8/10

    Universals_House_of_Horrors-1.jpg

    Next house for me was House of Horrors. Each time I went through this house it got better and better. I like how they changed a little part of the house with adding the crawl space. In 15 years of me going to HHN i've never seen that done. It's funny I knew it was going to be in that house before I even went through it and yet I still managed to forget it was in there. I would like to see something like that done again in another house at HHN 23. Now on to the final scare of this house. One word for it. EPIC. 9/10

    alice-cooper-hhn-2012-550x385-1.jpg

    Alice Cooper Welcome to my Nightmare I ventured to next. This house in my opinion was just ok. The facade to it was cool and all but that was the extent of it for me. Only thing that made me go through it more than once was the part of the house with the pole dancer. With that being said. 7/10

    penn-and-teller-hhn-2012-550x390-1.jpg

    Penn & Teller New(kd) Las Vegas was the last house I did that night. In my opinion the best 3D house i've been through at HHN. That light room was absolute craziness. Loved every square inch of this house. And thanks to a certain Elvis for the name shout out. It totally made my night. 10/10

    hhn22_streets_01-1.jpg

    Although in some cases change is good but to me I miss having the regular scarezones at HHN. Not saying that the streets were bad or anything I actually kinda liked it. I just like having the original scarezones a little better in my opinion. And of course the Vampires were the best. Bow down to your Strengoit Legion Leader. :D

    I rather enjoyed this years show. In my opinion it was better than the ones in the past 2 years. The girl who played Katniss from the Hunger Games was funny as hell. I Volunteer. Ha! It's nice that they paid a little tribute to Adam Yauch from the Beastie Boys at the end. And for the love of god please stop using Nicki Minaj. Other than that the show was pretty good. Lots of laughs. 9/10

    The cinematic spectacular show for HHN 22 was indeed amazing. Saw the Universal's Classic Monsters and the Alfred Hitchcock tribute. It was a nice addition to HHN. In my opinion it definitely filled the void for the missing 8th house.

    This is my review of HHN 22 for the night of 10/17/12. My actual first night of HHN 22 was 10/4/12 but since the weather was so bad i'm not even going to count that night. Well until next year. May the scares be with you...

    I would like to thank all of YOU who have given me an awesome 6 years of scaring. I said last year was going to be my last year, but I came back one more time to scare. This year is my LAST year and I'm sticking to my guns on that one.

    Thank you to everybody who walked through your dreams in Nightmare on Elm Street, faced the evil queen in Scary Tales III, went up to Carey, Ohio and ate some delicious meets in Leave it to Cleaver, met the Wolfman in 20 Years of Fear, tried your luck with the Spade Minions in Your Luck Has Run Out, and finally faced the walkers in The Walking Dead.

    I appreciate all of the spooks and scares I was able to give everybody.

    Thank you all.

    Thanks again for all the years of great scares Mr. Lewis...

    Try reading some of the HHN 22 event reviews. You might find what you're looking for there... :)

    In my opinion I would say yes. Only reason I say this is because in all the years of me going i've always got to see everything in the same night even without buying express passes. Now granted it might be very busy on Thursday because there is no school for some on Friday . So Thursday might be very crowded. Last Thursday was pretty crazy. Just get to the gates as early as possible no later than 5pm and keep moving until the event is over that night. Grab a bite to eat before you get into the park that way you don't have to stop. Remember when you head over to kidzone to do House of Horrors first and then Alice Cooper and Then Penn and Teller. Each exit will bring you to the entrance to each house in that order as I mentioned in the above posts. It will save you some walking time. And if there is time left towards the end of the night around closing time don't hesitate to jump in line for a couple more houses. If you're in line for a house they won't tell you to get out. Hope you have fun...
