Out of all the houses at the event, this one probably had the most on the line for me anticipation-wise. I heard all the stories of how the 2008 original was one of the scariest houses at the event, and I was super intrigued on how this gimmick looked in person. An right before the event, I was hearing those who normally don't get scared...got scared in this one. It all sounded so promising, but there's always a chance things would fail or not meet my personal hype, so I was nervous in more then one ways if it was going to deliver or not. Especially considering Ian and I saved this house for last. It was truly a make or break moment.
This house exceeded my expectations in every way.
Without a single doubt, this was the scariest house at the event. An it downright wrecked me and Ian, once we got into the first scene with the UV gimmick, it was completely unsettling and one hard hitting scare after the next. Once we were out, I was full on sweating and it wasn't due to the heat, that's never happened to me before! The cast was very aggressive, going all in on the scares even during the periods of darkness. A good chunk "double dipped" on me. First hitting with the UV strobe, then lunging out again seconds later when it was dark.
Hat's off to everyone involved with this one, and I'm really curious what was the electronic song used at the entrance? It was oddly fitting and did a killer job of hyping the crowd up.
