Nightmare Fuel: Circus of Decay (HHN 34)

[HHN Maddux]

That act in Altered States was one of the best show moments in the past few years. Excited!

Altered States in general is still one of the best shows I've seen at HHN. Hoping with the gothic horror theme this year, Nightmare Fuel maybe captures that same vibe.

Second this. And honestly may be my favorite ever. Despite not liking NF(not the performances just the overall show story) at all the first three years I actually loved last years because of the story. Easily my favorite since Altered States

Per Fuel Girls’ Instagram page, there is an old friend returning from the HHN 29 show.

I won’t spoil what he does, but if you know, you know.

I did see that, and I'm quite happy to see him return! His act is very fitting for the twisted circus theme and it'll add a nice variety to the usual aerial, illusions and fire acts.

Ugh, the only time I've had to look away at these shows...

Why spoilers for this?

I'm just confused as there was no NF show in 2019 lol

I believe it's the same dude that was in the AoV show in 2019 lol

Giving a good question, are there not going to be photography rules with Nightmare Fuel this year? Could've sworn for the past few years they've given specific warnings on that before.

I believe there was never a photography rule for NF, however B&T had one.

They always played a spiel before the show but they never policed around like they did for Bill and Ted. There obviously is tons of photos and videos out there.

Where in the show is this year's loud explosion/pyrotechnics?

There’s 3 that stand out to me — Magic trick about 5 mins in, the “big” finale Magic trick 22 mins in, and the final end number around 25 mins.

Overall, this was a really beautiful show. My viewing had a technical difficulty that cut it short so I had to watch the last couple minutes online, but really liked this iteration.

I think it packs a more energetic punch than previous years. I like the new things that the Fuel Girls did this year with

number was freakin’ phenomenal. The lighting, the music mixing, the choreography. How do they even curate this kinda music…a relatively small song from 2009 that had me feeling like I was in the Penguin’s Iceberg Lounge or the club from Blade.

And the Aerialists?!? MY GOD that was beautiful. All of them deserve to get their flowers for that act. Emotional doesn’t begin to describe it.

Might be my favorite Nightmare Fuel yet. Unlike last year, actually utilizes the time loop love tragedy and turns it into a genuinely emotional story that had me tearing up at the end.

The song choices, while still great, aren't as strong as last year's, however the show IMO more than makes up for it with the most beautiful and emotional sequences I've seen in any HHN show or really any live show period (the aerial dance).

Plus, a happy ending for once!

Most important question, is Black Parade still the opener?
