I apologize in advance if this kind of odd question has already been asked & answered but I was wondering...where does everybody buy their horror shirts &/or merch to wear to HHN from? This is my first year going with a Frequent Fear + Friday pass, and I've been slowly collecting shirts to wear since I'll be attending a lot. I've been shopping the Fright Rags & Terror Threads sites, but I was wondering if anybody had any other suggestions. Thanks! redbubble.com .... they have everything. but most importantly cotton/poly blend tees that are super nice. My wife and I buy new horror tshirts every year before HHN. This year she got a Creature from the Black Lagoon and I got a cool Palace Theater print with "Revenge of the Mummy" on the marquee. 9 minutes ago, hunnylvr said: I love verbose swearing This one is my favorite - it's what really got this going.

Classic I showed this exact video to my parents when I said I wanted to do HHN for my 30th (they went 13 years ago for their one and only time at HHN). My Dad's exact words to me were "you know you're not going to survive there right?" My Mam then chipped in with her blow by blow account of Castle Vampyre and how she nearly throttled the guy on the four poster bed that made her scream on each side of it. My Mam never swears, but apparently after the third scare from him she told him where to go haha. The censored version was something like "just.....just....urgh......bugger off!" That is what has made me want to do this for years. It's gonna be absolutely terrifying, but it's gonna give you lots of stories to tell, and memories you'll keep with you forever. As long as I don't wet myself, and get my blinky cup (or a couple - good souvenirs) and a few stories to tell I'll be happy. As an aside, I know you regulars are bored of the purge, but for me this is the one scarezone im really looking forward to having only seen videos of it online. It's such a great concept, and yes they may have milked it for all it's worth at HHN, but so glad I'm going to get the chance to experience it properly before it's gone forever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably get a shirt this year though, I bought the drawstring backpack last year and somehow managed to tangle the strap the first time I went to use it lol it's nice & lopsided now 31 minutes ago, PeoriaBJJ said: redbubble.com .... they have everything. but most importantly cotton/poly blend tees that are super nice.

Stuff like the ellen videos and the old Travel Channel 1 hour special on the event is what made me want to go. As a HUGE chicken, it took a lot to get me thru my first few houses but I did it and at the end of the day, you will have laughed so much! I swear I laugh more during my nights at HHN than I do all year long. One tip: get a "security blanket" item that doesn't stick out or look funny. For me it is the coke freestyle cups that have the handle on the side. Last year's HHN cup didn't work so I had to use the normal daytime one. When I get scared I just grip the handle for dear life. If you go the cup route, make sure it's empty. The last thing you want to do is get scared, jump and get covered in whatever drink you have inside. I may or may not have learned that the hard way....

Well my original plan was to send my friend first and never let her go. Unless we were being chased then everyone for themselves! So a substitute is a great idea. Guessing the blinky cup won't cut it, and I doubt my mobile will enjoy being crushed so suggestions very welcome. And yes that's what's the most appealing thing about the whole event for me. The knowledge that no matter what happens it's not real (even if at the time it feels very real), and you'll be able to look back and laugh at it. It's the adrenaline rush and overall experience I'm looking forward to, and memories that will stay with me forever (whether I want them to or not). As for Ellen it'll be Hollywood right? I'm guessing insidious won't let them film, ash vs evil dead won't be that well known, shining might have legal issues so my money is on AHS. Whatever maze they use it's guaranteed to be hillarious Edited July 19, 2017 by Drummanmatt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be a great exercise in courage for you just like it always is for me, and tons of fun! I have a couple bits of advice for you as well, to keep you from getting too scared and thus lessen the likelihood of pants- wetting: 1) In Houses, always stay in the center of the path, DO NOT get too close to the walls on either side. Scareactors often hide in secret passages and hidden alcoves in the walls, known as "Boo- holes," and if you get too close to a wall where one of those is, then for the Scareactor inside it's like thrusting a steak in front of a starving man. 2) Also in Houses, be aware of your surroundings. They love using tactics like distraction (i.e. getting your attention to one spot with a Scareactor or special effect, so they can then nail you from behind with another Scareactor or effect) and camouflage (i.e. Dressing in special costumes to blend into the wall or decorations in order to then pop out at people) to nail unsuspecting visitors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took a look around on Tee Public and they do have a few really good ones but it did take me a minute to find the search bar lol will definitely be checking out Rotten Cotton & Sinister Vision next!

You'll love it so much!! My first HHN, I was absolutely terrified. But I've found from my first visit, and from bringing my friends for the first time that the first house is always the worst. No amount of YouTube videos can prepare you for walking through your first maze and coming face to face with what's in there. Go get yourself a twisted tater and a beer as a reward and keep going. By your second house, you'll be obsessed. Have fun, friend!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Ahab spent his entire life chasing down Moby Dick (literally a white whale), and was ready to sacrifice pretty much anything to finally kill the beast. It basically means something you've been trying to chase down for a long time. IE: The IP rights to The Shinning.
