Welp I still haven't gone to HHN this year yet, I'm going the final night... why? I'm working the LA Haunted Hayride at Griffith Park this year (sssssiiiiiiigggghhhh). Was planning on going opening night, but decided against it after hearing about EP..
This is definitely the year for events not being "show ready". Between Hollywood not having things ready for Employee Preview (didn't hear much about opening weekend though), Orlando not having characters/costumes/makeup during its first two weekends.... its crazy. LA Haunted Hayride is suffering the same travesty. We opened this past weekend with unfinished set details, scareactors lacking their costumes, etc.. (so awful). For the most part, I had a blast scaring the crap out of people this past weekend, but I'm afraid to see what things look like tomorrow. Hoping our house has had set details added because there are home haunts that are more impressive (yea, its THAT bad). I was planning on telling you guys to come check it out this year since its only $43 ($59 for VIP/Front of the Line)... buuuuut we'll see after tomorrow/this weekend.
I've been trying to keep up with the reviews/pics/videos for Hollywood, just waiting for the end of this month to go experience this year for myself (skipping Jabbawockeez though... saw the video from EP.. even for a 30min show it looked beyond boring). Curious to see if anything gets changed/pulled by the time I go. The one downside to working any haunt, you don't get the time to experience other haunts.
