The whole event is a blast, great atmosphere lots of fun! So yeah... I'd say it was worth it! (it's worth an 9hr plane ride for me!)Never been to an HHN plan on going to 26, I'm a big leatherface fan got him tattooed on me and everything. So for a super fan like me is it worth a 10 hour drive to come see? Just seeking advice or opinions from the vets.

I think you're doing a wonderful thing by doing your research. That's really the best thing you can do when weighing the pros and cons.Never been to an HHN plan on going to 26, I'm a big leatherface fan got him tattooed on me and everything.

I am a huge horror fan my whole arm is dedicated to horror lol (so I am a little crazy about it lol). I'm from a rural area so the only Halloween houses I have been in are mom and pops haunted houses people fix themselves for charity usually (never themed). I have been 6 times to universal before in the summer and I absolutely love everything about it. As for expectations yes I would Like to be scared. I would love to step foot in my favorite film. I just want a cool awesome experience. Thanks for the help everybodyI think you're doing a wonderful thing by doing your research.

Is it safe to assume you're a horror fan in general? What about haunted houses? Any more info about you would be lovely to hear and help.
Halloween Horror Nights is its own special kind of beast and I think certain factors to keep in mind will definitely help manage your expectations and lead to a much more enjoyable event.
What would you be looking to gain from the event? To be scared or is it moreso just to be able to step foot inside one of your favorite films?
I'm sure a few of us would love to see your horror sleeve. My boss at one of the bars I sling at has his arm dedicated as well, featuring the Tall Man, Pumpkinhead, etc - it's beautiful.I am a huge horror fan my whole arm is dedicated to horror lol (so I am a little crazy about it lol).

I appreciate all the help and advice I can get. I was 70% maybe on going before talking to you now I'm 99% sure. One more question should I go one night or two? How many nights does it take to do it all.I'm sure a few of us would love to see your horror sleeve.

It's kinda good you don't have other haunts to compare bc these beasts are totally different.
As far as these mazes go:
Ben Armstrong, co-owner of Netherworld in Atlanta GA told me once that haunted houses are more collective experiences for a lot of folks and that they don't personally need to feel frightened but can experience tremendous joy in seeing others petrified. Same way we fear or laugh or cry or sympathize w any emotion we see on tv or online - you can experience in person.
- They're beautiful - You are walking into a movie set. They're gorgeous (for the most part) and that's where a lot of my excitement comes from.
- They're short - we might be talking 10 min depending upon speed but when I've timed em you're looking at 5-6 min.
- They're Machines - these bad boys are designed for massive wear and tear and to be PUMPED full of people. A constant stream of people. It's designed w this is mind but there's only so much you can do, especially when it's creative vs Ops (who bonus based on thruput)
- They're Living - what I mean by this is that these are live pieces of theater. Hence, why they are so subjective. Some can fight me on this, but for the most part, actors pick their targets. Some go for easy (the visibly scared), while some will go for the big dogs (this is the exception, not the rule.) I can almost guarantee you that if you are behind a group of scared teens (common) you will receive little to no attention from the actors.
I'm lucky. I get tipsy at HHN and then SISSY it and play my Gay Card as much as possible when entering a maze at HHN - it works like a charm and I get targeted constantly. For others, it may not be so easy and you can easily walk through a house at HHN and not have a single interaction w an actor.
I can't predict your experience - no one can if I'm honest - but I want to tell you what I know and want to help you have the best trip you can (if you choose to go.)
That's all personal preference + what night you go + if you have express or not.I appreciate all the help and advice I can get. I was 70% maybe on going before talking to you now I'm 99% sure. One more question should I go one night or two? How many nights does it take to do it all.

Which version did you watch?Watched TCM for the first time last night. Lots of good potential, but I was expecting a lot more kills with a chainsaw. Except for one person, everyone was killed with a sledgehammer. However there is more than enough content to make this a classic house. Not to mention leatherface is a great icon and will be in many rooms. Plus I never thought I would gag at the smell of BBQ which you know will be in there somewhere!
