It's funny because my sentiment isn't from the "I want our HHN to be more like Orlando" crowd, although I get it. But HHN Hollywood used to be freaking pee your pants scary. Orlando really doesn't give a damn (most of the time), but I miss when the event embraced horror and celebrated it instead of just throwing some recognizable names on the wall and making some cohesion out of it. I'm not a fan of the non-IP houses, but I do appreciate them when they're done right. La Llorona was probably my last favorite one. They just tend to have gotten off the beaten path in recent years in consistency, having completely off years or being on their A game, with the in between years being forgettable. I just want Hollywood to be a better version of itself. It obviously has the funds and power to do so.
It's also worth noting that HHN/ Uni Creative extremely values guest feedback and surveys, which more often that not actually sides with the "Fans" due to the fact they're paying premium for a separate event. Yet despite its constant asking of feedback it also seems to just push things aside.
