Am I the only one who only goes one night?

Well, it's part of my job.

Big fist bump to my fellow marketing brother Rev!

It's nowhere near to scale. In fact, oddly enough, my time at Howl-O-Scream has seen far less of these types of people for whatever reason.

I mean the idea is that the people who can afford to spend money and not ruin it for everyone are a more desirable crowd - to accomplish it, up the prices. Hell, even if people pay the same prices then more money for the event.

Howl-O-Scream is much cheaper than HHN, so I am not sure your point makes any sense.

Nope. I usually do one night but this year I'm going to go a weekend and stay onsite due to a new job where I work 7 on 7 off.

I'm not really in marketing, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

lol Sean

I don't feel like I'm "poor" by average US standards and would not think my behavior is "undesirable" at all but these events are extremely expensive. I can barely justify what I spend on our HHN trips as is. Please don't go around asking for higher prices

Another one nighter here. Always want go more but can never swing it.

Can smell some bans coming...

How quickly people forget. It used to be we didn't get ANY announcements until late August. Zilch. Nothing. Just a vague promise of "YEP, HHN IS HAPPENING!"

I always read about how they used to announce in August and how awesome it was. Answer this... Do more people attend the event now or back then?

The event has become so big, they should be advertising more than 1 month in advance. That's just ridiculous.

We go once as well, too much going on and with our son (who is 9) we are lucky we get one night to enjoy it when the inlaws come to visit from Jupiter FL.

Yeah one night with express has always been good enough for me, but I hated having to drive back to Ocala in order to go to work the next morning. This year I'll be off and able to enjoy the night fully.

With stay and scream last year we hit all the SS houses in an hour and within 3 hours had done every house. That was Friday and Saturday so if you swing it right you might not even need express. Of course if you aren't planning on doing the parks in the day then Express is probably your only chance.

 

[Imperius]

I enjoy hitting most house twice in a night which is why we express plus SS

I think this year we might just bite the bullet and get express. Our modest annual road trip has transformed to being as expensive as a week long trip would cost any other time of year.

Ya I've never been able to convince the people I go with to crack down and add express. We've just accepted we see what we see and try not to rush too much and just enjoy.

 

[Imperius]

I'm actually possibly getting a RIP tour this year for one night. Always wanted to and the new job allows me the funds.

Express really becomes a huge chunk of the budget. My friends are similar but I think pushing the "remember when we waited 2 hours at 12 am to get into insidious?" angle will convince them it's worth it haha.

Big fist bump to my fellow marketing brother Rev!

I'm not actually IN marketing, but understanding it makes some of what I do a lot easier.

 

[RevFreako]

Why? You can't fathom people having integrity and calling out racism?

Clearly he's never met anyone from Philly. Fear of calling people out - for anything - isn't really how it is there

 

[Legacy]

OH MY GOD!

Can we just get back to complaining about HHN and how much we can't wait to go?
