So, I arrived at the park around five and got straight in line for security. The sky was looking pretty nasty and eventually it started pouring. It kept raining until a bit after 10, but that didn't stop me from doing as much as possible, but what it did do is delay me seeing the streets until later into the night. I was able to see 5 houses and didn't see any shows. I feel like I could have gotten it all done,but due to eating and having to meet a friend outside the park at one point, I didn't.
Right as I got into the park I rushed straight to House of Horrors. Now due to the rain my glasses were completely fogged up and I had nothing dry to wipe them on. That and the fact that is was daylight and this was a VERY dark house I feel like I have no clue what happened in the house. I feel like I can't give this house a good review at this moment and will hopefully be able to fix this either. tomorrow or later on in the event.
After HoH I hit Alice Cooper. I liked this house and feel as if it has the potential to be the scariest house out of the ones I have been through. It had a nice soundtrack, and I have never really listened to Alice Cooper. This house has some very disturbing images in it that i know I will not soon forget.
After leaving AC I turned around and went straight into Penn & Teller. This house is FUN! I cannot stress that more. Some pretty cool scares and hilarious costumes, watch out in the wedding chapel room. Not much more i think I can say about it. Fun and Hilarious.
The next house I hit was the walking dead. Now I haven't watched much of the show myself, not out of disinterest, but just not having time. But luckily I had my sister who has watched both seasons twice to explain a bit to me that I didn't recognize. Now,the house itself was decent. I felt like there were some clever scares, but also some really dead areas in the house. Maybe I hit it at the wrong time, but this was my least favorite house of the night.
Now my last and favorite house of the night was Gothic. This house was BEAUTIFUL! The facade was just amazing and there was a very impressive room early in this house that really just pushed this house over the top. The actors also seemed to be on top of their game. Maybe I just went through in a good position, but I got scares in almost every room. OH, and an effect from an older house is used in this house very very well.
So, now on to the streets. I'm not going to say much about the streets tonight because the rain did not allow me to see as much of them as I would have like to. I WILL say that i was not disappointed, but i was also not overly impressed with them, but again this is just opening night and I'm sure I will see plenty more of them to change my mind.
Overall I had a really fun time tonight and am looking forward to going more over the course of next month.
