We went tonight as well. It was truly dead until about 7:30. At 6ish the Weeknd and Universal Monsters houses were walkons. Even after that it wasn't bad at all. The weather was nice, the TMs all seemed to be having fun. The only bummer was some of the food booths being (understandably) closed.
So they aren't selling new tickets for tonight? Only existing ticket holders can attend?
*EDIT* The website shows today as unavailable, so I think I answered my own question. I guess they might still sell to walkups, though.
I'm almost tempted to book a hotel so I can go tonight. But if they're limiting it to hotel guests, I assume that means they are severely understaffed.
The strange thing is, we literally had 0 wait in the Express line for Halloween. There wasn’t a single person in front of us in that line. We did Weeknd twice (once with Express, once with a disability pass which uses the Express line), and it was 10-15 minutes each time. Whereas less popular...
We hit some fairly long express lines in the middle of the event hours. 30-40 minute waits, which was only slightly shorter than the posted wait times.
The Lil Boo Pumpkin bun was awful. The Petrified Rat Tails were bizarre but decent. The Spicy Fried Chicken "Offals" tasted very good, but we also had very little actual chicken in ours. I think we had a lot of chicken skins, which were kind of like Pork Rinds.
Did anybody do the Scare Actor...
We were very happy the rain stopped right as the event was getting started. We hit a few very long express lines, which was a disappointment. We arrived at around 7:30, and left at 1:00. We made a couple of brief stops to eat, but otherwise went from house to house, and we only got 9 done...
I reached out to the Howl-O-Scream Orlando Twitter account. Here is our exchange:
Me: Can you please confirm that the "Front Line Fear Extreme" only gives you front of the line for each haunted maze once? Last year it was unlimited. Just trying to figure out if it's worth it, thanks!

On the website, Front Line Fear Extreme says "Be among the first to scream! Skip the line once at each of our five haunted mazes, Mako, Manta and Ice Breaker. Plus, get reserved seating to Monster Stomp with EXTREME."
Does this mean Front Line Fear Extreme is now one time use for the haunted...
OG Halloween is the only IP house that I’m truly excited for. If Evil Dead ends up being the original trilogy then I’ll be somewhat excited for that one. Other than Seeds 2, originals sound interesting. The original Seeds house was my least favorite house of that year. Scare zones sound...
