Talked to a few other “regular people” who went last night and they all said, without knowing each other or even knowing much about my own fandom, that this year is terrible and the least scary year and probably the worst year they’ve been pretty much ever (kinda split on some who have been going for years and others who started going probably 2019 at the earliest). From what I gathered, they thought scare actors did fine, it’s just the IPs aren’t interesting or scary enough.
While this was obviously a dress rehearsal, my concern lies with that I don’t think I’ve ever heard this amount of negativity even before the event. Mixed, sure, even trending toward negative, but never just outright negative.
My hope is (and obviously this is sure to be the case) that a lot of elements weren’t working or are still to come. But even with it all “on,” will it reach the mark we were all hoping for? I was never high on this year to begin with, so not that big of a loss for me, but with KSF trending back upward and Fright Fest having “the largest haunt in SoCal,” it might be time to start worrying about how to go all out next year for HHN…
