    Halloween Horror Nights 2023 (USH) - News & Info

    Oh I totally agree, which is why if that’s true there needs to be a huge rework of how the event is run. This could be the beginning of a huge decline in attendance. I don’t think people are willingly waiting 3 hours for a 5 minute house. I think they’re just trying to get their moneys worth...

    Halloween Horror Nights 2023 (USH) - News & Info

    Something is fundamentally wrong with how this event is run. If the rumors are true, that the event is oversold so it can be barely profitable then there needs to be a top-down assessment on everything. I haven't really heard any positives from the GP on HHN. If I do it's few and far between...

    Halloween Horror Nights 2023 (USH) - Tips, Tricks, & Planning

    That’s interesting. When does pool come in this year? I remember when I was pool back in the day we were there at 3:30PM. Seems like plenty of time to get people in costume and down to the LL. I’ve heard there are issues with the masks of the girls in Exorcist, and I don’t expect those to...

    Halloween Horror Nights 2023 (USH) - Tips, Tricks, & Planning

    Did anyone who bought early entry this weekend notice a ton of holes in the EA mazes this weekend as well or was it less noticeable? I know it was an issue last weekend, and I think it's ridiculous that it was as bad as it was considering you now have to pay for EA. I totally understand that...

    CityWalk Hollywood

    Good news about that Starbucks location only being temporary. Was always way too packed. Really hope we get another Brewery where Karl Straus was.

    Halloween Horror Nights 2022 (USH) Employee Preview Night

    Been seeing a LITTLE unfair criticism. Not on here but elsewhere, so I'd just like to remind everyone that it's just EPN and it's always pretty rough. Some houses more than others. Few of these houses were missing half their actors and other issues like audio, costumes etc. The nature of the...

    HHN 2022: Sideshow Slaughterhouse

    Did anyone hear about why this was? Only complaints I saw was that they were meh and recycled props from AHS. Personally I don’t think they’re the most appealing props to put in a zone, but I guess since they still have them why not? What would go in their place?

    Halloween Horror Nights 2022 (USH) - Speculation & Rumors

    I didn’t see any of the leaks. So, I’m not sure what exactly got posted, but there’s definitely a lot more to look forward to that hasn’t been spoiled, that’s for sure. Going to feel like day and night compared to last year IMO. First time in a while I feel like the event might rival 2011-2016...

    CityWalk Hollywood

    Escape room, mini golf, comedy club, those are all a good start. Something other than another Universal owned expensive restaurant, merch store or out of place retailer would be great. There was a thread on the Los Angeles subreddit the other day that mentioned CityWalk and most of the other...

    NBC Sports Grill & Brew (USH)

    Was really hoping for a good Karl Strauss replacement with this, but I think they have only two in house beers? Was expecting more than that. The games are cool, and the TV set up is ok for anyone trying to watch an event. Could be better. I agree, a reimagining could help, but as of now it’s...

    Halloween Horror Nights 2022 (USH) - Speculation & Rumors

    There was one in 2019. However, in 2021 due to COVID regulations it was moved around a corner instead of being behind curtains. Due to staffing though it was usually empty.

    Halloween Horror Nights 2022 (USH) - Speculation & Rumors

    So that would leave? What? Maybe one maze location on the lower lot with Metro gone? Sheesh. Of course, that’s assuming JW Is still a no go, and that is my assumption. That messes up the traffic flow quite a bit. Maybe they’ll bring back a scare zone again down there? I don’t think just a maze...

    Halloween Horror Nights 2022 (USH) - Speculation & Rumors

    Well that’s odd. I remember hearing HMH was gone because the area they used was going to be reconstructed and no longer available? Maybe I’m wrong though. I guess they could hold the event somewhere else but it wouldn’t be as easy as the previous location.

    Halloween Horror Nights 2021 (USH) - News & Info

    Eh, I think I repeats at HHN are fine if it’s been a while. I’d love to see quite a few different mazes make a return. The Thing, the 2015 Halloween: Hell Comes to Haddonfield. Every year brings new people to the events. Teens turn old enough to go on their own with friends, starting traditions...

    CityWalk Hollywood

    Another comedy club would be great. I’ve been saying for years City Walk needed more than just another store or restaurant.

    Knott's Scary Farm 2021

    Which is disappointing because Universal COULD absolutely duplicate these effects with no problem. Having new IP’s every year doesn’t mean much when they feel and have the exact same layout as whatever was there previously. M This was my first year going to Knotts in almost a decade and I...

    Halloween Horror Nights 2021 (USH): Reviews & Photos

    I’ve attended a few times and I think I’m finally ready to do a review, so here it goes. it was nice to be back, there really is a nostalgia (at least for me) with HHN so that will always be there. I’ll cover a few different aspects of the event, food, scare zones, mazes. Scare zones...

    Knott's Scary Farm 2021

    My trip was amazing! They have really stepped up their game from what I last remember over a decade ago. The good: So for this I’ll be comparing mostly to HHN since this is a Universal forum. Maze lines weren’t long and never felt as long as posted. I really enjoy the lack of trigger scares...

    Knott's Scary Farm 2021

    Going to go either this Sunday or next Sunday. Anyone have a good attack plan to try and get everything done? Haven’t been since we would go for school trips in middle school. Last year I went was 2009. Parking tips? Time I should get there?

    Halloween Horror Nights 2021 (USH) - News & Info

    Even the rides, Simpsons (never understood why you would wait that long at HHN for a ride that’s been here for years)was always around 70. Was definitely oversold. Adding Wednesday in the future might be the move. EDIT: What exactly is the price of Express after 11? Do they still sell it if...
