    in Halloween Horror Nights 22

    I don't even know where to start. Regardless of where I may put HHN 22 on my list of "best of" events - this year, and especially last night, will go down as my personal favorite, most rewarding, joyful, and touching year of any since I started attending in '97. This is 100% because of all of you.

    To SH and DE - I didn't spend as much time in these houses as I would have liked, but I appreciate every scare and shout out. I had fun in both, and I'm so glad I got to see you the times I did manage.

    To HOH, thanks for all the classic screams; air hose mummy, our wonderfully attacking bride, all our wonderful Frankenstein monsters, charging and otherwise, and everyone in the finale, every time. It was a joy to see this house blossom, and this is completely because of everyone in this house.

    To P&T, thanks for all the laughs, giggles, snorts, shoutouts and fun. I had trouble with the 3D glasses this year, so I'm so very grateful that life is in 3D as well! Sarmoti, Love Live the King, and clowns still scare the holy crap out of me.

    TWD - you gave me tons of attention and scares in what I'm sure was a challenging year. The gauntlet is the eighth wonder of the world. My absolute favorite dark haired walker still totally rocks donkey socks. And I want my door.

    Gothic - so many congrats on HOTY, you did an amazing job all through the run. Thanks for always providing me safe passage, and for making me feel like one of you. Considering I haven't been stoned since 1977 (please note expiration of statute of limitations), that's a pretty significant achievement. Through the towers and spires, it has been my privilege to share this event with you.

    Alice - I don't think I have any words left. If I'm doing my math correctly, there should be about 38 actors who deserve a boa constrictor size hug from the bottom of my toes. Psycho Stevens, my nurses and doctor, Black Widows, Mom and Dad, my sweetheart jock and cheerleader, subsequent dead jock and dad, Ethyl, ceiling gentleman that performed a successful tonsillectomy, Heart of my Hearts Alice, finale Alice and Steven, and also my ultimate showmen of showmen: Thank you. Thank you for the gifts of scares, attention, affection and all the others. For a dark house, you brought a stunning amount of sunshine into my life. You really are all Rock Stars.

    To the Beasts: Congratulations on SOTY. I had the best time being stalked by you, and your aggression has been stunning. And a total hoot to watch when you're doing it to someone else.

    Warriors - I didn't get to spend nearly enough time with you this year, but the time I spent was an absolute blast. You were all on fire every night, and one of my biggest regrets is never taking a photo with any of you in character. The scares were fabulous, and I totally have no issue with the leather pants. Or denim that looks like leather. Where is my ice water and fan...?

    Street Walkers - there's no way to say that and not make it sound... wrong. You all did a fabulous job of blending into the insane crowds, providing top notch scares and entertainment, and keeping the whole zombie/walker vibe going. It was a blast just sitting and watching your work, and I send extra hugs to my two special walkers that attacked me all event long. I will have to get that infected bite taken care of, first - while I give in to this sudden desire for whole brain pasta.

    My fellow Strengoit - I also didn't spend enough time with you this year. You were always on top of the scares, and GREAT attention to vampire detail - whether day or night. Thanks for including me as one of you, and thanks for deciding that my blood is even more aromatic than Bella blood. A special shout out to my favorite rat lady escort, whose interaction made this year even more fun and special. <3 Children of the night, thank you for your beautiful music.

    Ah, the ladies of the saw - you offered to both remove pesky unnecessary limbs, and provide replacements from the General Public. I have loved all our chainsaws over the years, but the energy and attitude you brought this year was first rate. You did a FABULOUS job, and I couldn't have been happier with all the jabs and taunts. And belches. I truly loved hanging with you this year.

    Our Traditionals - I honestly loved every last one of you. Rosie, fox boy, and my dear sweet ballerina were just a few of the trick or treaters, witches, vamps, ogres, pumpkinheads, and all manner of creatures that I may not have figured what they were, but still loved the heck out of. You gave us, the fans, so many amazing experiences, I'm sure a book will be written. Candy for everyone (including Nature's Candy), and I PROMISE to get my seance on this time next year. And Uncle Fred will be watching over you all as well.

    To the Iniquitus - I loved your interaction, whether being constantly asked for photos, or working the crowds. You gave an overarching menace to the streets and year, and I loved hanging out with you. All of you, with a special shoutout to my Reaper in Hollywood who never failed to approach, apprise, and then scare the crap out of me.

    You all are this event. No matter how much or how little support you are given, you bring the life - or un-death - to HHN. I salute all of you, and eagerly anticipate 23.

    Now go take a nap. Love you all :)

    And Scarecrow, I'll miss you most of all <3

    I let you motorboat me and don't get mentioned -_-

    A letter to the street scareactors-

    While we love all the houses this year, my wife and I find ourselves spending more and more time sitting on benches throughout the park and watching you boys and girls tear up the streets. The dedication to your craft and the personalities you give your characters are nothing short of amazing. We've seen you endure injuries, hot costumes, large crowds, and drunk (and sober) idiots without missing a beat. Thank you all for the screams, the laughs, the hand hearts, and the threats of terrible bloody death. It has been an honor to watch you all at work.When the event is over, the couple on the bench, bearded guy and glasses girl (AKA Craig and Jen)will miss you very much.

    I enjoy you two coming to Mel's, it's fans like you guys that keep us going on those crazy nights. Even though I do think the only way Jen can stand me staring at her is by laughing hysterically hahaha

    We were actually told, as a cautionary measure, not to scare people around the rat lady due to a misunderstanding that led to show directors thinking that a Beast was scaring the escorts. However, I'm hoping that this story will provide impetus to let us "interfere" with the crowd some more.

    It's not the scaring us part. It's really we only have a 25 foot area around the coffin to scare, so at first we'd go to scare in our area and there would be 4 other scare actors interacting with the only crowd we can scare. It's not just beasts. But honestly the beasts are probably my favorite Hollywood partners. I think his name is Mitch but he has a cat like face with a light tab robe and a shaker can.. Is pretty fucking awesome. Definitely enjoy scaring with him

    From one scare actor to another, whoever the beast was Wednesday night by Mel's working with me ( rat escort ) on terrorizing people, it was true fun. When one of us would distract the other one would scare, and vice versa. And every time I gave him props or laughed he would put his hand up to the sky saying yesss yesss haha. Great job. I'm glad were at Mel's now, gives us time to work with different legions

    So random off the wall question. I know I'm with the rat lady at the front of the park in front of this zone. ( and since I figured this would be the best place to ask this ) I don't think I'm going to be one of her escorts, but do you think they are going to make us vampires cause were close to that? Or if not what characters will we be

    You get the glasses in line for the house itself. And they are basically cheap paper fold ones ( but they do the job ) so in case people keep them its no big deal. They do have a glass recycle can out of the exit though.

    This house was awesome. Probably one of my favorites in a while. The room with the strings... simply awesome.

    Couldn't agree more. Dead Exposure did it great too....just send you into a dark room with a speaker on the ceiling right next to a strobe light. Trigger the sound and 1 sec later trigger the strobe...everybody is instantly blind. Great cheap affect that really does freak you out a bit.

    When I was the chair in LT last year that's the way the scare worked. A strobe to partially blind people then when the noise went off I would jump up to people opening their eyes. Beautiful scare if done correctly

    Someone I forgot to mention-

    LT- Cast A- the chair- Halloween I walked through, and saw the chair kind of move..it then sprung forward at me, and growled "nightmares" ...needless to say.. I hauled ass out of that room.. but amazing job!

    That was me filling in for the normal chair :] Definitely a fun scare, and thank you!
