The Wolf Man

Just as a heads up, 10:30 is Resident Evil, Walking Dead and Evil Dead. 2pm is Cabin in the Woods, American Werewolf in London and La Llorona.

Hey thanks but no need to apologise, it wasn't you! I hope and am sure it was just an isolated incident. I've been coming to America for a long time and only last year I spent 3 months in your beautiful country and this was seriously the only time I have ever had any rudeness from ANYONE. That is pretty good going. I was just shocked because it came from absolute nowhere and they just wouldn't listen to reason. We even let them step in front of us to calm them down but it was a waste of time. We'll be back next year to have some more fun don't worry about that!

My rant for this year just involves obnoxious people. I have never encountered it personally before but this year I was on the receiving end and being a very argumentative person myself, it lasted a long time. As me and my partner were entering the "Express" line for Psychoscarepy we were shouted at by a "lady" - "HEY, don't cut in front of me" I turned to her and said "excuse me?". She then points out that there is a line and scum like me shouldn't cut in front of her! Now, upon entering the line area it was just one mass ball of people before the staff member checked my express pass. There was no straight line but people coming from all directions. Once the lady checked our Express passes it formed into a civil line. We didn't cut into the line at all but I have no doubt that this woman and her party heard my English accent and decided to pick a fight with us. It took nearly 20 minutes to get into the house and all during this time I had to endure "Why don't you fu*k off back to where you came from" "I've been coming here 20 years and this is my country" "I'm so going to get you kicked out of the park, oh just watch when we get up front" Anyway this continued and she even tried to incite the rest of the Americans in the queue with "USA, USA, USA". I told her that she simply is the only rude American I have ever met and she should be proud. When we got to the point of entering the house she said something to one of the staff members which was completely ignored because they didn't say anything to me but I asked if they could hold us back as her party were the rudest people I have ever met. The lady says "Sure, I get that A LOT"! Anyway, I know that was long but just wanted to say its not only drunks who are rude this year! In an ironic twist of fate, as we were leaving Catacombs the party ahead were slow to a halt, I said "excuse me" and they apologised and let me through......... it was them!! Once we clocked what happened they looked angry and we just laughed and went about our night. Oh and I agree, ops were way over the top this year.

With reference to the guitar it wasn't really the quality of the guitar that I was getting at, it is the fact that it was just a bunch of stickers on a regular guitar. So in theory, as long as you could get hold of the stickers, you could put them on ANY guitar, or drums, base, whatever. If it was printed on then that's a different ball game, it would be nice to own. It's just randomly placed stickers on a poor guitar doesn't scream "must buy" to me. Also only one of the 3 shirts at Uni has blood writing on it. I agree they could do with many more but again I'm just getting to the fact that yeah Busch has more but more doesn't really mean better. Of course that's just for my own personal taste and I couldn't find one T that I liked. The My X is Psycho hoody was pretty cool though. I'd also like to say I think Busch have put on a great event this year and in my opinion Blood Relations was FAR superior to B+T. Might have something to do with a certain MJR or it might just have catered to my tastes more as I've never enjoyed Bill+Ted. In conclusion though, more merch please Uni!

Oh and the guitars were just regular cheap guitars with Howl 'O Scream stickers on which was just poor beyond belief.......

I also went to Howl 'O Scream and although I agree that it's kind of cool that they have a whole store devoted to it, but didn't you find the merchandise really poor? I spent quite a while in there trying to buy something but it was all a bit lacklustre. I ended up spending 75c on a guitar plectrum just so I had something other than my Alone t-shirt. (Alone was awesome by the way). HHN could do with a lot more merchandise for sure though but for me personally, what they did have was a lot easier for me to buy than anything at Busch.

Ah that is incredibly kind of you and I would really appreciate it. If you do happen to grab one I'll pay immediately with whatever option is better for you. I checked out Ebay but they are all incredibly marked up and after spending so much on getting to the event etc and all merchandise, its just unaffordable to pay like 3x cost + silly shipping costs. Thank you again.......... Fingers crossed.

Hi guys, a little request. I have just got back to the UK from an awesome time at HHN XX and after searching high and low for the Fear Pin I was unable to get one. I asked at multiple locations but couldn't obtain one anywhere. I was told they had sold out a long time ago but it looks like I wasn't told the truth. If anyone has a spare or wouldn't mind picking one up to send to me I would really appreciate it. Of course I would pay you for your troubles and the pin............

OK guys, for all of you having trouble watching the actual video I have recorded it off my Vaio via my BlackBerry. You aren't going to get the best sound or picture but until someone else comes up with a better one or tells me how to extract video from YouTube, its the best I can do. Especially as its gone midnight here in the UK! Anyway, always willing to help out my fellow HHN fans! ENJOY........................

HAHA!! Sorry dude I'm doing all I can to hook you guys up with it....

OK, I've copied the link that says EMBEDDED is that it? I'll post below. If it doesn't work I'll copy it onto my BB and post it for you. I know the quality wont be great but...... <object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCgWDv_0R_I?fs=1&amp;hl=en_GB"></param><param'>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCgWDv_0R_I?fs=1&amp;hl=en_GB"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCgWDv_0R_I?fs=1&amp;hl=en_GB" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>

No honestly I have never been on their page before. Anything to do with the fact that I'm in the UK? If anyone has troubles, if you can tell me how to record a YouTube clip I'll upload it. It is SO good, the girl in the video becomes possessed with FEAR!!

Hey, just checked it out again and seems fine. I originally watched it through a link on Twitter on my BlackBerry if that helps? The house looks immense! Actually try this slightly different link............

Don't know if this has been posted yet but it is a GREAT look into the Hallow'ed (?) Past house. It's a media incite video.

OR maybe the kid is excited to go and we should be more tolerant. You can always ignore the repetition, I mean I have to whilst reading these boards. It's not only the 13 year old kids who repeat themselves. Some people treat these boards as if they are sacred and should be policed. Relax, remember HHN is FUN!!

You know what, as you can see I don't really make a lot of posts but I feel I have to this time. This guy has been bashed a LOT on these forums and even in the past in the Vault. The second he arrives on here and makes claims that he will give away free gifts, everyone stays quiet! It is really annoying! I for one have never seen Brian as I live in England and can only get across every so often for HHN. This year I will be able to check out the shows and I'm looking forward to them, I hated Rocky Horror and Bill and Ted was a bit cheesy for me, although I will give it another go. It is nice to see something different this year for those of us that haven't seen Brian. I think a lot of people on the forum's need to understand that we/you are just a handful of people out of thousands, and I believe most members of the general public who attend the event will also watch Brian's shows. I'll reserve judgement until I see the show but try not to bash the guy too much for repeating an act, I'm sure with the kind of thing Brian does, he can't exactly reveal his full hand of ideas and tricks to the audiences by changing every show, this way he would have a very short career. He needs to be able to hold a certain amount of material back for future years to prolong his career. If you're reading Brian, good luck and I hope the shows are a success. And guys, there is way too much negativity on these boards as it is, so please don't bash me for having an opinion.

Nice to know I'm not the only Brit who knows about the awesome HHN! You staying up and waiting for it or looking in the morning? I'm probably going to catch it in the morning myself, but I don't want to miss any of this build up!

Once you click on the lantern, wait a while and a shadow "runs" past.

It's just awesome isn't it?! I'm from the UK and I'm trying to watch some Craig Ferguson which I've downloaded as its gone midnight here, and I'm having trouble shutting the site down! That beast or whatever it is sounds so mean and cool, I'm all excited! Someone also mentioned that a shadow appears after clicking on the lantern, this is also true and REALLY cool. I can also hear a knocking every so often too now which wasn't the case when I discovered the update. It's coming. Whatever it is, it's coming!

Guys go to the site NOW! On the front screen the writing is now tilted and it shudders ever few moments as if something is breaking through. Also if you listen you can hear a BEAST growl in the background. VERY VERY COOL!! Also, the text is getting DARKER!!

Looks like midnight............... http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=5065600&fbid=439191493232&id=126469058232

I hope I don't get shot down for this (I do lurk these forums so I know what it can be like) but I went to see Bill and Ted last year and I really didn't like it. I definitely "got it" so it wasn't the fact that I'm English (in fact I consider myself an adopted American!) but I just didn't really see the point or find it that amusing really. Was last year a bit of an off year for it or do you guys think its just not for me? There's nothing I would like more than to see some more Twilight bashing but at the same time I don't really want to waste the time that I have at HHN.

I agree that this is a fair price. If you only go twice then its JUST about good enough any more than that and I think it is a great pass. Certainly from attending last year on a Thursday and Sunday, I could of made use of this. Yeah, on those days you can get to see everything with a bit of savvy but this gives you a way of avoiding any kind of queue over 5 minutes.
