Well I was able to make it the park today and thought I'd bring the entrance and the War of the Living Dead scare zone to you guys! I got a few pictures of the entrance this year but thought these two would work the best. Then I got some pictures of War of the Living Dead to show you guys how much detail goes into the event. There is a lot of detail in this event and I just thought I'd show you guys that. The houses are phenomenal and the scare zones look just as good! Without further waiting lets look at Halloween Horror Nights 19: Ripped From the Silver Screen shall we? Tickets Please.




Random Sign around the entrance of the park. This should give you a somewhat good idea of what the Billboard ads look like this year.


War of the Living Dead

I got a feeling that it's gonna be a very good year. The reimage of Dracula and Frankenstien will be phenomenal and when you add the Wolfman to the mixup of classic monsters? Thats a winner in my book. Adding Jigsaw and Chucky just makes it appeal that much better. Plus Silver Screams, The Spawning, and Leave it to Cleaver are all looking to be a fantastic houses!

But cant wait to see ya at HHN 20, I know I'll be there!

Well I had the pleasure and fun of taking part of a Conference Call with Michael Roddy one of the Halloween Horror Nights Designers today and here are some interesting facts we learned.
-Phantom of the Opera was one of the first movies shown at the theaters and like Julian the Phantom knew every inch of the Opera House while Julian knows every inch of the theater.

-Julian is responsible for a lot of the tragedy's that happened in the theater. He became obsessed with the films. He does not put up with disrespect for any of the films.
-The theater closed in the 1940’s and what happened was there was a showing of Phantom when Julian met his death and every event was tied to the movie shown. What happened after the tragedy's is the decision to shut the theater down came as no one started to go.
-The front arch will look like the Universal Palace theater.
-The usher presents the events and mazes above the theater.
-You will feel the ushers presence all through the event whether in the mazes, or even face to face.

Well I'm hitting Horror Nights again tomorrow so I'll be bringing pictures from Containment, Cirque Du Freak, Lights Camera Hacktion, and some more of Horrorwood. After looking around the internet I found that one of my favorite horror films has some characters in it, The Strangers. So I'm gonna go and take some pictures of them for the forums. Be sure to check back because the pictures ARE coming tomorrow night!

The reviews are finally in and I am happy to announce that. Please be sure to check the main page out to read about the houses. I did not go to far in detail in them so they'd be left a mystery but I'll answer any questions about the event that you have in the thread! Hope you guys like the reviews!

Thanks Jason! Ya it is an awesome time and is a great experience to try. I think my favorite photo was the Strangers one with the Masked Man pointing because before I took it he scared a huge group of people and set up a scare for Pighead from SAW. Then the Pinup Girl from The Strangers came in and Masked Man scared from the side. It was a bunch of scares and the group went running out of the Horrorwood Scare Zone. It was pretty cool to see the teamwork on the scares.

To be perfectly honest I've never sought out information regarding the event.

I've always heard good things but it's one of those things that I never planned on attending.

Since it popped up here it was pretty easy to check out.  Now I'm going to check out your photos. 

Unfortunately, for HHN 13 we arrived in Orlando around 6pm on Sat November 1st (the last night that year).  Leaving the airport I got turned around and somehow ended up in Daytona.  Then I ended up about an hour south of there.  Finally made it to the event around midnight or so after checking in at the hotel.  We really only had time to hit up one house and most people recommended Scream House re-visited.  Although I agree that most of the buzz since that year on places like IOACentral has been for the All Nite DrIvE-IN Theatre.  I really liked Scream House 2 and The Caretaker is somewhat the inspiration for the costume you see on my avatar.  We also were able to see Bill & Ted which was pretty funny.

Overall though HHN XVII was more enjoyable for us.  We had a frequent fear pass and we went on a Thursday and Sunday night.  On the Sunday night we had also purchased Express Passes for HHN.  That made a huge difference.  We saw all the houses and the shows on Sunday night plus rode all of the open rides.  It was a great way to spend our 4th Anniversary.

I actually have the DVD of that video (bought it at HHN 13).  It was very similar and I thought it was very well done.  Not as good as Dreamwalkers, Trapped in the Walls or Club Muse though (the later two were at HoS).
