Holy crap! What are the odds? No joke. That was me! I also went solo. We should've met up. Now that you know what I look like, don't be afraid to say hi if you see me next time. Also, thanks for your concern for a stranger who turns out to be an IU member!
I was at the back of the group in that room. They were rushing us through the tent (I know that's part of the story) and since we were all huddled together, I wasn't looking down so I tripped over the campfire and ate it. My left elbow broke my fall. I was stunned at first and you're right, the actors had to break character to make sure I was ok.
I shook it off and carried on. After a bit, I was wondering why my left sleeve was wet. I looked at my right hand and noticed it was all bloody. I kept clutching my left elbow the whole way through to apply pressure to stop the bleeding. As I exited the maze, an associate apparently followed me the entire way since she saw me clutching my elbow. She was kind enough to walk me to first aid.
I lost almost an hour of rope-drop so that ruined my game plan so I had to wing it the rest of the night. I managed to do all of the mazes except for Mesmer. I'll give my thoughts on them after a second visit.
Music, Monsters and Mayhem is a fun variety show. It's quite raunchy, which I didn't expect but that's not a bad thing. It ran longer than expected at about 40 min. Dr. Cleaver Returns was a dud. Short show that revolves around one unimpressive magic trick. Tried twice but failed to see The Hanging. I got there too late. Seems you need to be there close to when doors open.
Gotta agree with
@Spookies n' Stuff. The lantern helps the monsters see you coming, whether through dense fog when you can't see at all or coming around corners in the mazes. I've never been targeted so much and I think the lantern helped with that.
Crowd wise, I'm enjoying KSF far better than HHN. Will likely be back Sunday.
