^ The only reason I didn't put Jungle of Doom was because of the total outdoor environment. Yeah the house was horrible but I thought it was cool trekking through the "jungle"

 

[TylerDurden]

Can we do a top 5 scenes in a house also?

2007: Scene of Jason stabbing a girl in bed (Camp Blood)
2008: Zombie room (Dead Exposure), spine rip scene (Body Collectors)
2009: Illumination of Universal Palace Theatre facade (Silver Screams)
2010: Medusa (Hades)
2011: string room/lights room (The In-Between), every scene in Nightingales
2012: Final room of Penn and Teller

And to keep up the Bottom Five trend:

Silent Hill
Doomsday
The Spawning
House of Horrors
Alice Cooper

I've only been a few years and I cant remember names very well. But I really liked the Classic Monsters house last year. It made me jump a lot and I thought it looked the best and plus all the monsters looked great! The lamest house was probably the Fear Factor house at IOA that one year lol But I also really liked the house that was actually in a haunted house last year. I think it was called Dead End? Another neat one was with all the bubbles and it was in Toon Lagoon near Popeye.

If we're going to put it into a Top 5... (man this is tough!)

1) Dead Exposure
2) Dead End
3) Dracula: Legacy of Blood
3) Frankenstein: Creation of the Damned
4) Scary Tales: Once Upon a Nightmare

Bottom 5:

5) Walking Dead: Dead Inside
4) Reflections of Fear
3) The Spawning
2) Alice Cooper: Welcome to my Nightmare
1) Psychoscareapy: Echoes of Shadybrook

Scenes would take some thought, but the two scenes that completely made me lose my $#!t were the Distant Cemetery in Winter's Night and the Wrong Side of the Bed in Dead End. The Masque of Red Death scene in Nevermore was terrifying/brilliant, too. But nothing has yet to ever quite compare to the Horde scene towards the end of Dead Exposure.

Let me add my bottom 5 of all time. In order from crap to mega crap :down:

2. Vampyr: Blood Bath - HHN 17
1. The Skool - HHN 15

Reading this I'm reminded just how good Dead Exposure was (not sure what I'd drop, but belongs in my top 10) ... and how bad The Spawning was.

 

[Jakemeister]

It also reminds of the irony that 2008 was the best year I've ever gone. It had an awesome icon, a decent interlocking story, awesome scarezoens and awesome houses. Yet the icon's house is consistently ranked as one of the worst.

On the note of The Spawning...yeah, just yeah.
