By last Saturday, the clown and the rain were not working in Poltergeist.

Does the skull puppet work? When I went through it wasn't, so I assume that it was because it was late.
Also heard some scuttle that the subway scene in Exposure had safety issues.
Did they mention anything specific I'm curious as to how someone could get hurt in that room specifically.
wait, what were they? were they Uni employees? what the hellwhere they part of the event or just random guests
They were part of the event. I think they are characters that are only at the scare-actor dining. They are definitely Universal employees, just don't know anything about the characters.

On a tangent; but did anyone feel like aov fell... flat. My wife loves aov and she said it wasn’t as good. Wouldn’t it be cool to have maybe different rock bands instead of aov. Imagine creed one weekend and maybe aaf. These are just examples. Don’t hate me. This could boost attendance on weekends that are slow. But after attending hhn28 what is slow?maybe hhn can absorb the rock the universe budget

Didn’t notice anything off about the (incredible) subway scene when I went last week Thur. - Sat.
Skull puppet didn’t work one run either late Fri, or early Sat. By my final run through Poltergeist, it was back on.
Also noticed the demagorgon animatronic in the hospital (?) scene didn’t work last Friday. It was working again Saturday.
So, yeah, lots of technical issues here and there being resolved.

In hhn in japan, one of their scarezones has two actors dressed as zombies but they play real electric guitars as part of some mini show.
I agree that maybe we could have had something like that. It doesnt need to be a big name band either. Could even be local bands putting up a halloween show

Yep, I've seen the clown tied to the wall in a fixed position.

They definitely swung for the fences tech wise this year. Commendable but quite risky.
AoV is better in a smaller stage where they can interact better with the guests. It's a weird show, it tries to tell a story... but you can't really understand what's happening.

Some quick notes from last night...
-rain was not working in poltergeist and the clown was completely missing from the ceiling
-the barrels have been tied together in CG and ernest now slices the throat of a dummy instead of throwing the barrels
-there were quite a few scareactors missing.. most notably in CG (luv shak again only had one actor) and SS
-DE seemed quite a bit darker than it had in previous runs
hopefully some of the technical issues will get worked out but the scareactors who were there really gave it their all.. had some very solid runs through last night and call me crazy but i firmly believe that Dead Exposure rivals Scarecrow in terms of scares

Interesting about the barrels. On my final run of CG, the scareactor wasn’t throwing them, and I had wondered if it was due to fatigue.

Could we please not mention specific House effects and details in the general thread?

I know many will disagree, but I found Scarecrow to be greatly overrated and much prefer Patient Zero.

Ruhroh well there’s nothing covering my face or obstructing my eye sight, and it’s just regular clothes but there’s definitely a part of the body that’s messed up. I have already seen people dressed as the Stranger Things cast, however, there’s really not much to those outfits.
I’ll be a guinea pig for this site, take my chances & report back.
This is 100% what I get for not being Gritty though.
