I assure you if I moved to Florida earlier I would have more events attended. Most of my haunt friends started going regularly in 2005.
The houses in 2006 are kind of blurry. I just remember the highlights, thank god that's the start of digital era and there are videos. I don't know how members like Spook and Fade are able to remember all the houses.
THIS!
Spook knows more than I (don't tell him though his head is big enough already) as I went once along time ago before IOA was built and didn't go again until 2005.
I dont remember much from my first time, just the chainsaws running at the crowds waiting at the gate and the roaming SAs.
15. was a blur, literaly, I had lasik done three days prior and my eyes had not adjusted yet so I really had a hard time seeing in the dark.
16. decide to stay closer to home and just did HOS
17. I turned 40 at HHNs 17 and drank a lot, it was the end of October and some house waits were over 200 minutes.
18. was the first year I really, really enjoyed, went earlier in the season and pass holders got in early and that helped alot. Loved the zones and houses.
19. A great year, IMO, had lot of fun.
20. was the first year I did the tour and it was a double edged sword. I loved the tour it was great to get the photo ops and inside info. Not so great was to be told all the cool stuff in the house and NOT be able to see half of it during a walk through at night. The New Era left a bad taste in my mouth as I thought it was just OK.
21. was another great year, just with a really weak theme and Icon.
Scary Tales III
Catacombs
Dracula
Wolfman
Silver Screams
