Halloween Horror Nights 30 (UOR) - News & Info (2021)

[OhHaiInternet95]

Except they haven’t done everything? And “scary” is subjective. HHN fans have a nasty tendency of forgetting that the event has always been a PG-13 rated “party.” It never promised to be Nyctophobia. Even the scariest HHN houses are unlikely to rank for hard core haunt travelers.

Take it from a long-time HHN cynic and nihilist; if you get to the point where HHN isn’t giving you what you want, it’s time to take a break. You’ve either “outgrown it” or realized it was never what you thought it was. HHN has continued to innovate and progress, but it has never changed its “party-first” nature.

Kind of at that point.

Houses are fine, I only wish that scare zones were less of a photo op for selfies lol

I have never, once in my life, gotten the vibe that HHN was meant to be "scary." Sure there's been scary houses, jump scares in zones, etc. But it is just a completely different experience than what you'd get at a local/regional haunt. Never in my life have I been "scared" to walk into ANY HHN house - only excited. I have to imagine that is the same for most hardcore fans.

Like @Legacy said, it's also subjective. According to the general public, we're probably the weird ones for not being scared.

FYI, TM access dates for some of October have been posted and some September dates were added. Plan accordingly.

You may be right. I just remember hearing non-stop how not scary HHN 28 and 29 were. For a variety of reasons I was higher on 29 than most.

I hope Mike leaving doesn't keep them from coming up with at least one house a year people find truly scary (even if I didn't find Graveyard Games to be all that scary--it was a quality house I just enjoyed the other three originals more, yes really I thought both tent houses were scary lol).

Anyways, a lot of my frustration comes from me trying to think of a house that I think would scare the dickens out of some people, one that could feasibly get made. I've always dreamed of a house of spider monsters where you get breathed, drooled and crawled on.

you forgetting about dead exposure? Not a great house but scared the crap out of people. Seeds was GREAT AND SCARY.

I agree about Seeds--the parables to ahem, current issues--but I feel like people who liked it were in the minority.

And DE should've been camera based, honestly.

Haven't been since last week, so I can't verify this myself. Has anyone else picked up on this?

 

[ssirin88]

Interesting....I'll be there tomorrow night so can't wait to see the changes for myself.

 

[Jeeper2182]

I will be there tomorrow night as well. Hopefully today they spend the day pulling the rest of the vinyl out.

 

[Mad Dog]

If they pull most of the vinyl off, that might spur attendance, attracting those locals that already attended and had not planned on any more trips to the park. But with little, or no,
vinyl it'll be an 'almost' new experience.

Wicked never had much vinyl, I think Brent is getting confused.

 

[Speed]

Case Files looked about the same vinyl wise last night as before

 

[HHN Maddux]

Wicked Growth and Puppet Theatre don't have much vinyl. SCarey and Case Files though, I think we'll need some verification on that.

 

[Nick]

I did notice that a lot of the scareactors are without mask now when I was there the other night.

I personally didn't notice a change in WG or Bride last night (the two houses I think I would).

Inside or outside the houses?

 

[Catopher]

Either I’m going crazy or they added some new music to the main park track tonight.

 

[Brian G.]

I went to through a few houses tonight and did not notice any removal of the vinyl.

 

[ReelJustice]

Either I’m going crazy or they added some new music to the main park track tonight.

Wouldn't be hard to notice a third song added to the two lol
