I threw a shoutout to you in the shoutout thread. I was wearing a vault shirt, and holding a black and white stuffed cat. You snapped the movie-thingy at me, then went around the back to where I've NEVER gotten a scare before (I guess that's where you enter your area) and you popped out, snapped the movie-thingy again and shouted "SCENE!" I about crapped myself, and jumped up a few meters into the air XD. You said "Haha, I scared a vaulter!" That sir was one of the best house scares I've ever gotten, and one of the most entertaining. Thanks.

You guys are totally awesome. C_D told me to come back next year with a stuffed chainsaw. I have a year to find a good example, I think I'll do just that .

The cloaked ops in the house on closing night were fantastic. They need to do that with more houses. Usually seeing ops makes the house seem a lot less scary to me, but seeing these cloaked ops just really kept me grinning. I hope that they got a lot of good comments about it on the surveys (Oops, forgot to fill mine out on the way out) because I'd LOVE to see that happen in later nights.

You guys were simply just amazing. I saw the cryptkeeper with a chainsaw at one point, though he gave it back before I could get my camera out. THAT was quite epic. The "loud" Alice and the redheaded cheerleader both made the event for me. You two are AWESOME! I'll put up pics later, but for now....sleep.

<3 Cindy in Orfanage, and in Fear Revelaed. I'm so sorry I couldn't give the fear revealed one a kitty . To the one in Orfanage who combed my kitty, and told me he "may catch on fire in next few weeks" You've gotta be one of the best Cindy's ever. Thank you! All of the plague doctors, you were awesome. To the one who threw my kitty angrily...... Havoc was doing awesome. Hallow'd Past, to the spine-pulling Gentleman who pet my kitty, I had the lady who was in front of us tell me after the house "Whatever you had going on with that guy creeped me the FUCK out." That is what I love to hear. It's about the other guests too, and I no longer feel selfish when I get the shoutouts anymore. In Zombiegeddon, the "test" zombie after the store was always motioning for me to comb my kitty. You're awesome! Though I must say that, this year, my love lies in the streets. C_D and Giant were awesome, though Saws n' Steam isn't one of my favorites (I'm unafraid of chainsaws) Bryan and Giant totally tore that place up. It was kind of a tearful goodbye to those two, and to the awesome collectors in the alley, and to the other great chainsawers. While the zone itself didn't scare me too much, all of the chainsawers were great this year, and provided me with awesome fun. To 20 Years of Fear: Congrats on earning street of the year. You DEFINITELY deserved it. As I stated, The Cheerleader and Alice are both my #1 scareactors, and they've made the event for me. The come-together at Fear Revealed was very heartwarming. I really enjoyed it. I teared up, I truly did. Such an awesome goodbye. And the icons all remained in character until the end. Hearing Cindy scream "But I want them all to burn! I want them all to burn!" was awesome. Seeing all of the stilt walkers (including Fear) stand together was nice. Oh and Esqueleto Muerte has to be the zone closest to my heart. Everyone here is so intimate! Iwa and her friend walking around arm and arm was awesome, and the man-in-black with the rattler who actually came to talk to me was nice. Inever knew that I would get recognized outside of the boards before introducing myself first! Seeing the "couple" dancing with each other was very nice. I had a few screaming "VAULT VAULT VAULT!" at me, and a few meowing at me. Very awesome. I love this zone than more of the others, though 20 years of fear definitely made the event. All in all, although I disliked the theming this year, this has got to be one of the best years solely because of the scareactors. Not a SINGLE bad scareactor I've met, each has been in character, and on top of their game 100% of the time. Thank you all for busting your asses off to entertain us. We all appreciate it. Until next year. Hopefully I can work alongside you great entertainers within the coming years.

Kim, it seemed to me that you were there every time I went through! No matter the cast, I couldn't find the squared off shaw, just your triangular one. Also <3 to your enthusiasm at my kitty . Never knew that Ms. Strict was a cat person.

I'd also like to add a shoutout to the Dog of War who barked at my cat. I made him yip like a puppy back at you, since y'know, dogs of war . Shoulda hissed XD.

Ah, what a night. More love to the cheerleader and Alice! You guys always pick me and my kitty out! no matter how I go through that zone, that cheerleader finds me! And I got to interact with Chucky, and inadvertantly get the cheerleader "killed" by Chucky . The Frankenstein really made me happy for eating my kitty, and the chainsaw guy towards the Fear Revealed side got a laugh from me too from "cutting" my kitty's head off. I think I finally got to meet Kim, and get a picture of her with the kitty (yay!) and I gotta give a huge shoutout to The Director for creeping me out. I was leaning against a pole, and he just kept circling me like a shark...and I finally said "Are you planning on making an animal movie?" as I pointed to my cat..."That's not my style." he responded, and meandered off. Shout out to everyone Esqueleto for being plain awesomesauce as usual, though they took away Iwa's face, oh no . Shout out to the boys in Psychoscareapy....I've never had such an "intimate" experience with you folk. "Come here vaulter! C'mere!" Hahaha. That was just plain awesome, and I actually got a few nice scares in the house. One of the window inmates shouting "Hey, wrong house! Cats and combs is over there!" as I walked through with my cat made me crack up. Having the doctor that sets off old sparky meow at me ranked up there on "Top HHN moments." The interaction from the guys in the last room was pretty nice as well. Zombiegeddon....awesome! They moved Squared, and I almost wouldn't have recognized him if he didn't salute me first! I think I went through during a shift change, but the scares were still top notch. Catacombs was awesome again, I went through with my own pocket, though one plague doctor kinda caught me off guard. He was pointing my way to go....I thought he was trying to point something out for me....so he just kept pointing, and I'm like "wtf" till the ops is motioning frantically for me to continue. Oohhhhkay. Another run through made my night, when these two "gangster" type guys behind me kept grabbing onto me and screaming. It was simply epic. One would not let go of my arm, and honestly I was too amused by it to complain. Hallow'd Past gave me some of my best run throughs yet. The Frankenstein in the beginning with the marionette asks "Is that....a cat?" "Yes, yes it is" I respond. "Ohhkay" he responds. That was pretty funny. No interaction with the treak again, hopefully I get some tomorrow on the last night. The zombies are always friggin awesome. There was a zombie... I was so surprised, and it actually got a scare from me. Body collectors, awesome as always. I had two of the gentleman pet the kitty. Alice, HOLY CRAP! Usually I come through with an Alice moving around a bit but not really doing much. This time I got one screaming "OH MY GOD, A KITTY! A KITTY! CAN I PET IT?!" So of course i hand it to her, and what's she do but start munching into it! /Salute to the mad hatter there. And to the director at the end...yes you "Got a vaulter" really good! That was the first time I've ever seen someone pop out from there. Nice scare. Hmm, gotta wrap this up with a shoutout to the guys in Saws n' Steam. I was from the fear revealed area, when a sawer stopped me, and starts petting my kitty. I pull out my comb, and he takes his sweet sweet time combing down the middle, on the sides, and then hands the comb to me and says "it's PERFECT!" and walks off. That sir, was epic. Going through the alley, there was a shift change. I kindly stand to the side, and wouldn't you know it here comes Giant charging at me screaming at the top of his lungs "YOU WILL SOON BE AS DEAD AS THE VAULT!" well, after my bowels evacuated, he made his way back over. I then ran into C_D again, who gave me one of THE best laughs I've ever had. "You are hanging onto the past. The vault is dead." "I know, I know, but I couldn't afford the new shirt" and without missing a single beat, and without breaking that amazing glare of his 'Steal." I cracked up. At that point one of his friends takes my cat, throws it to the ground, and kicks it into a puddle (and into some unsuspecting girl). This poor thing is SOAKED, and he screams "I'll DRY IT!" and slams it into the back of the oven. YES. I honestly could not stop laughing. Thank you all who I mentioned who made my night very memorable! One of the top nights I've been! It sucks that tomorrow is the last night, you guys have given me such great memories. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to write up a post this large again . To those who I didn't mention, I'm sorry, I'm super tired atm (4AM, yikes) and can't quite remember every great thing that happen...but those above are definitely my highlights.

I found the source to the "sisters" in the queue line placard. They're actually from the Capuchin Catacombs in Palermo, Italy http://www.sacred-destinations.com/italy/palermo-capuchin-catacombs .

Howl-O-Scream's Blood Relations is a fun show. However, the names are all changed around. Tiger Woods is Cheetah Shrubs, Lady Gaga is Lady Yo-Yo, Hanna Montana is Savannah Montana, and there were a few others that I couldn't quite remember. While it was a fun show, it wasn't quite as good as Bill and Teds sadly, even though Michael Roddy wrote it.

Mine got stolen once, but I held up the line till he threw him back . I wasn't planning on going through again lol, though these last two nights I'll just keep walking if he gets stolen, and keep walking through till I see him again.

I enjoyed your cadences when you were doing a shift change, walking by Catacombs. It was the final shift change right before the last shift, I shouted out an "Hoorah!" in your support .

I'm sure that was Kim portraying the Storyteller apparently making out with Jack. I wish that i would have had my camera out at that point, because that was epic. One of the best horror nights moments I've ever had. Kudos to Fear Revealed for the VIP interaction. It's kinda bittersweet, because there's no more VIP lounge . But you guys did awesome. Shoutout to Alice for being generally awesome again, to Mary Shaw for actually getting me for once (That was an awesome scare!) and scare of the night goes to the guy with the straight jacket/metal mask like thing (I'm sure that he's from psychoscareapy, but I know that he's from somewhere else as well) and the cheerleader. Crazy man intercepts me trying to cut on the right side of one of the props...matches my steps, and starts walking at me so I back up. Then out of the blue, the cheerleader waves her pompoms on the sides of my head and it freaked me the hell out XD. She had a nice conversation with my stuffed cat. Thank you plague doctors for enjoying my kitty . Shout out to Geeksbsmrt (I forgot your name for a while, then backtracked into the thread to figure it out ) for getting me yet again. I'm at the point where I expect it, but you still make me jump. In Saws n' Steam, I got no scares (it's been two weeks now odd, they don't seem to like me too much anymore) but I enjoyed seeing C_D circling around a group of girls singing "ring around the rosie...." which was quite hilarious. Kudos!

Anybody who's spent ANY time in the military can stay angry indefinitely . It's something you learn in boot camp.

Yeah, that's the only insult they know, other than a few "Your mother" jokes. Usually when they yell that all-soul-crushing insult at me, I yell back "Oh my God, I love you too! Will you have my babies?" It always seems to get their panties in a bunch.

Those fence shovers piss me off too. It's always some morons who think that they're scaring someone, when really they're just being annoying. The last night I came (the previous Thursday), I was already in a bad mood from the morons I went to the event with, and a fence shover, with those glowing horns no less, pissed me off as I was leaving LT. So I snapped, and shouted "OH HEY, LOOK A BUNCH OF IMMATURE LITTLE DOUCHE BAGS THINK THAT THEY CAN SCARE US WITH A FENCE, BRAVO! BRAVO! HOPE THEY GET ENOUGH SLEEP TONIGHT FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL TOMORROW" or something to that extent. I heard a bunch of what had to be either tween or young teen girls laughing, and walked off angrily before I realized what I had done. Had I planned it out better, I would have been funnier or more insulting, but omg children.....give it a rest. You're not getting payed to scare people, and honestly you're not very scary, just annoying. And in my case, frustrating. They should take the fabric off of the fences so we can see the morons behind them....they wouldn't want to shove the fences at that point. The funny thing is, this happened to me at Busch Gardens HOS too, except they don't have fences in their lines. If anybody is familiar with the park, they allow you to walk through the train station foyer to get from point A to point B, and it's completely dark. The first time through, a shadowy figure jumps out and makes me jump. Nice scare, I thought to myself. Second time through, the scarezones are closed, and I know this. This annoying little ten or eleven year old pops out, and after realizing that I didn't jump, FOLLOWS me, trying to get a scare out of me. Are you friggin serious?! Sorry but a pipsqueak who hasn't hit puberty yet trying to talk in a creep voice just isn't creepy. Anyhow, moral of the story is, both events bring douche bags. The worst are the ones who think that they are scary as well.

I'm very disappointed in Universal. They set up the website, they made the facebook page even, and then they just kinda dropped the issue. I would have been more understanding if they just didn't even mention it earlier on in the year, but now....this. This is horrible. Same with nothing happening last year, I suppose. If they are planning something...anything...it'd better happen fast, and it'd better be extremely simplified because nobody's going to have time to solve anything.

Yeah, if I don't bring a jacket, I'll just turn my vault shirt inside out, and stand in the back so it isn't noticed. I consider myself a member of this site, but couldn't pull off buying a shirt this year, hence why I still wear the vault shirt all of the time.

Both times I saluted the zombie (most likely you) it was in front of the van. I do remember a few nights before, however, a zombie chasing me from the bullhorn area (though I don't remember him having a bullhorn at the time) and giving me the vault sign. Just last night I did it, I think it was during a shift change when I came through. Butters=the megaphone man at the beginning, right? And the cast opposite to the blonde one with the gap in the teeth? I wear glasses, have the glowing vault shirt, and have a bit of a mustache. I'll call out your sn next time it happens if my memory holds through till next time lol.

Yeah, next year I'll probably ditch my good ol' vault shirt, this year I really wasn't able to afford an HHN shirt XD. That's pretty awesome, I may try sitting there before the event is up and see what happens to me. Also, is Invader Butters the one at the end of Zombiegeddon? There's a particular zombie that always makes the V with his hands, and I always salute him, and he returns the salute. Always puts a smile on my face. In fact, I don't think I ever made a shoutout to him, so here it is lol. I usually salute my scareactors. The captain in Hallow'd Past really seems to love it.

Scaredbenny, that would be Mary Shaw. She's awesome sauce on those heelies. And to the pumpkinhead that was working the very last shift tonight (technically last night 10-24-10)...I made a post in the scareactor appreciation thread in full, but I'll say it again here just to ensure you read it...I'm the vaulter you "introduced" to the lady sitting on the bench with a nightmares shirt. That was the most unexpected thing that's happened to me in the park to this date, and it turned my bad night (from some morons I was hanging out with) into a great night, all within the last 10 minutes of the event that night. Kudos, and thank you.

I gotta say, I had a horrible night. Not because of the scareactors. No, I decided to hang with a friend who had a few friends of hers who came by. I decided to not do my whole lone wolf thing. Well, every time I"d make a single suggestion, I'd get shot down, and insulted. While we were in front of catacombs they wanted to hit the mummy...instead of going through fear revealed, they wanted to go allll the way around the park to avoid scarezones, because apparently they're an "annoyance" and a "waste of time." So yeah. That's not what this post is about though. I finally broke away from them at 12:50, and beelined to Catacombs while cutting through Esqueleto and 20 years. Well, nothing interesting happened in Esqueleto for the first time...ever. But 20 years got me grinning again. I get to the end and the pumpkin man approaches me, and starts making gestures. I figure that he wants to pet the stuffed flamingo be brought with me, but he shakes his head, and points at my shirt, then points behind me. Lo and behold, a HNN member is sitting on the bench (Hi Amber!). We chatted for all of 15 seconds (lol) and I tried to get the wolfman to eat my stuffed flamingo. He pantomimed eating it, then runs off. Wrong wolfman, I guess (I believe it was army who snatched away my stuffed kitten the other night and ran off with it ). Anyhow, Pumpkinhead, you rock. You made my night right there. I totally was NOT expecting that. You overwrote the entire bad night that I had, and made my grumpy mood turn into my usual HHN-high mood. Cutting through fear revealed, I see the caretaker doing his *SNIP* *SNIP* *SNIP* routine which is AWESOME to see in person, when the lady he's chasing is truly terrified. I hit Catacombs, and with the power of my cat and my comb, I have a great time. Almost all of the plague doctors are having fun snatching up the kitty, slapping the kitty, taking and throwing the kitty, pecking the kitty, and calling me out because of the kitty. Thank you plague doctors! All in all, the last ten minutes of my stay defined my night. The only reason I wasn't having fun was because my group was avoiding the scareactors! And it only took ten minutes of exposure to them to change my mood around. Kudos to the scareactors, you are all very amazing entertainers.

Ok, so I have a group of friends coming. I told them all to buy cheap stuffed cats, and combs. "Why?" they asked. "Just do it" was my response. When you see a group being lead by a bespectacled mustachioed young male wearing a vault shirt, combing a black and white cat, followed by a few females (hopefully with cats, they may not be able to buy them before the event XD) you know who to pick on .

I believe so, actually. It was right around when Psychoscareapy went down to about 20 minutes, which is why I hopped into the line. If getting drunk and carrying on will get me a spot in the express line to a house with a 60 minute wait, maybe I should do it once I turn 21 . Ok, I don't seriously believe that...but some other wannabe drunkards will.

Ohh, I see. Well now that I Have the picture, I know what you don't look like, and next time I come (probably next Wednesday) I'll get you to have a picture with my kitty . Of course if that's ok with you lol. I made myself known to Margie by calling her "Ms. Strict," I think that that made her look twice. Hell, even Cindy responds "Hey! You know my name!" When I call out her name.
