Iwrestledabearonce Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Overall...this has got to be the best year I have been to..HHN 17 was good and HHN XX wasnt bad....but this year...WOW... The order I did the houses in will be the order these quick reviews will be done (and I am an AP so order is a little funky) The Forsaken This house was a great starter...some genuine scares and EXCELLENT EFFECTS!!!!! Although the glowing green eyes on every single scare actor got old pretty fast. good house though...(3.75 out of 5) The In-Between HANDS DOWN FAVORITE HOUSE EVER!!!!! I was scared and entertained at the appropriate times in the house...spinning room was amazing plus the rune board in the dorm...not one single complaint whatsoever....best.house.ever. (5 out of 5 easy) Winter's Night Lived up to my expectations...got a VERY cold house with some scares...didnt get me bad but was still a good one...very impressed with the atmosphere and weather effects.(3.5 out of 5) Nightengale's: Blood Prey OH.MY.GOD. one of the few houses to get a genuine scare out of me...not one complaint...enjoyed the trenches throughout...the banshee walking across the many corpses was very creepy...2 banshees scaring from both sides unexpectedly..thought it was the scariest until i got to a house later on.great and scary house! (4.25 out of 5) The Thing Sigh.... I may have been jaded or had my hopes up to high...but this in my opinion was the biggest let down of all the houses this year...was really hoping it would have been as good as Assimilation...but alas...barely scared me...snow and cold effects were much better in Winter's Night...greatest part of the house was the makeup effects on the infected scareactors...disappointed overall though almost feel like universal dropped the ball on this one...(2 out of 5) Nevermore: The Madness of PoeGreat house...amazed at the entrance with Poe's image on the burnt pages...the hanging pages throughout were great...and even got a little creeped out in the masque of the red death room...overall not a very scary house, felt more like it was for fans of poe, but still good. (3 out of 5) H.R. Bloodengutz Presents: Holidays of Horror You know....this one was kind of a sleeper for me...wasn't expecting much especially after what our friends who already went through told us about it...but was impressed...got several good scares out of me and i was genuinely grossed/creeped out in the thanksgiving room, plus the smells were amazing in there!!! (4 out of 5) Saws and Steam: Into the MachineHO-LEE-CRAP!!! Scarezone last year was great and I would only have hoped for this to be at least as good...wayyyyyyyyyyyyy better...scared the living hell out of me at some points...the fish tanks...oh the fish tanks...the heat effect was brilliant and the guy with the chainsaw after you leave the house made me actually run!!! house of the year vote in my eyes....(5 out of 5) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Warden Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Trust me...in S&S the heat is not an effect. Its blazing in there. The only time we get any cool air is when the rain comes...and then we close for flooding lol. Im glad you seemed to really like the house. Thanks for the good words Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LV-426 Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 well see, why was the thing bad for you? i love that house, but, i already wrote on the thing thread, for some reason the actors here are taking longer to scare, longer than other actors in other houses, I nearly missed all the actors one of the times i went, but, i bet with the actors coming at you maybe you will change your mind about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
