Exactly - I actually tried really hard to hear ANY lyrical song, and I spent probably about an hour cumulatively this weekend... didn't hear it once. Or any lyrical song for that matter. Pump up that volume, it'd drive in some much needed atmosphere
Especially given how close it is to Acid Assault. The chainsaws and industrial rock kind of bleed over.
I wish they'd give the pretty lucks more to do. When I'd go through they all just kind of looked bored, maybe a little annoyed. Though I do appreciate the fact that any one of them is better looking than the actress in the TV spot. Did not care for her...

I don't remember this house being nearly as good as everyone makes it seem...guess I'll have to try again.

quick question...I've read every poem or short story involved in nevermore, but which story is being referenced by the scareactor holding the severed head, the one right before the pit and the pendulum scene?
I would guess the Tell-Tale Heart, just because if I remember correctly, that's the scene that comes immediately before...and it's the only Poe story off the top of my head that involves total-body dismemberment. If not that, then...random boo-hole?

Easily my favorite scarezone. I love how ell the costumes work here, given how they're pretty much the simplest design you could possibly come up with. I also like how it feels less like a scarezone and more like a mini-maze.
Just goes to show that sometimes the simplest ideas are the best.
-
This one didn't really do it for me. It looks plenty cool, and it's very atmospheric and such, but the scares just don't pack a punch at all.

After hanging out in there for a while on Friday I noticed something weird. The ravens were easily the most effective when it came to getting scares, but not because they were particularly aggressive or good at hiding. Rather, their strategy seemed to consist of standing out in the open, spotting a good target, walking straight up to them, and stopping dead in the person's path. And it would work. Time and time again it would work.
What the Hell did I just see?
-
ZOMG a TriForce, will Boxxy jump out and scare me?
Well, that would be terrifying.
-
I'm going to put this house at the top of my list, as far as scares are concerned, at least. The way the trenches are laid out makes it very difficult to predict where actors are going to come from. As for the actors themselves (or actresses, actually, because every damn banshee I saw except for one was wearing a nurse costume), I saw a lot of energy. Almost too much energy, actually. More than once, an actress would be crouched close to the floor and would lunge up at me from the side at about mid-section level, and would come much closer to me than can possibly be safe. The atmosphere of general chaos in the house really works in it's favor, and I love some of the set pieces I saw (like the soldier standing behind a barricade who gets torn in half from behind. The blood spay effect really hit home.)
Also, to whoever was manning the compressed-air machine gun at about 6:45-7:15 on Friday night, nice shot! You hit me right in the heart.

When I first did Forsaken I thought this was one of the weaker houses. However, my experience did improve significantly between my run Friday night and my Sunday Night run. It's still not one f my favorites, but since it was later in evening on my second run, I was able to see the sets in greater detail, which helped a bit. I'm still not a fan of the costumes, but they actors seemed to be putting up a better effort on Sunday than on Friday. On the subject of roofs, I'd just like to say that I'd really never given the subject much thought until I saw about two pages devoted to discussing them. Probably because when I go through a house I tend to look at anything but the ceiling.
Fun Fact: Just before I went in last night, I saw a woman and her friend run back out the entrance. One of them seemed to be having a panic attack.
-
I heard a guest was scared into a shelving unit so they had to shut down the house to clean it up.
You'd think they'd have bolted that down better.
I've only done the Thing once so far, so I don't remember a great deal about it. I remember wishing there was a greater variety in victims (Someone else mentioned the high number of "trunk-faced things", which I'd agree was excessive). The actress who played what I assume is the lead character from the movie was very good. She looked genuinely terrified, and I actually did see her shooting at the Thing across the Hall. The guy on the harness, who jumps around above the scenery that some people mentioned was missing last night didn't really do anything for me when I saw him. He was moving too slowly and was to far away from me to be threatening.
-
I asked him what the H.R. stands for... his answer... "if I tell you I've have to kill you "...
LOVED the house! Very creative and well done...
I'm glad they didn't. After all, it's Halloween Horror Nights, so anything Halloween based would have been redundant.
This house was a surprise for me. When I read the description, I expected it to be a Christmas themed house, just because when someone mentions "holidays" in that context, the Christmas season is usually what jumps to mind. Then I got there, and it ended up being a little bit of everything, and it was probably one of the most fun houses I can remember. I especially liked the video segments they have playing in the que. Speaking of which, if those ever find their way onto internet, would someone be a lamb and let me know where to find them?
-
I'd say this is probably the coolest house I've seen since Dead Exposure. I really wish I could say more about it, but then, I had a hard time telling what the Hell I was looking at most of the time. Given how disoriented I was, though, I did get a satisfying number of scares. Hopefully I'll be able to write a full review after a few more runs.

Have you ever had a soda called "Big Red?"
I was drinking one at work today when someone asked me what it was. Then several more coworkers said they have never heard of it. I gre up with it. I like it because its completely different from most carbonated beverages out there.
I tried it one day. It was different, that much is for sure. I couldn't decide whether or not I actually liked it, though.
-
I don't even go that far. I typically say "gesundheit."
Doesn't that translate to "bless you?

Unemployment is getting very boring.

I knew about the Porn movie deal she got, and then the company back down due to the negative feedback they got, lol
i didnt know about hustler though, but, yeah i think the movie company was vivid, but, they totally backed down with the offer, so is kinda weird Hustler went with it
Oh Hustler would be all about that.
On a previous note, it would appear my torrenting troubles are behind me.
-
Did you know that On Ebay someone was selling a Casey Anthony halloween mask and it sold for almost 1 million dollars
Did you know that Hustler offered her half a million to pose for a centerfold?
-
I hate torrents that I really want but have no seeds.

Reading through this page, I am now convinced that I am the only person who not only didn't like Inception, but was also very underwhelmed by it.
I thought it was decent; it definitely had it's flaws.

I don't care for Bud Light.
-
the look of the movies is off too, the new ones looked like someone threw up skittles,
That's probably because they decided they were too lazy to build sets anymore, and started CGing the backgrounds instead.
Seriously, I'm dreading my first trip on the new Star Tours. I saw pod-racers in the commercial and I just thought, "Oh God, please no."
