Don't forget Crimson Peak in 2015, which was also a Hollywood exclusive.

Yeah I figured cost was most likely a primary factor. I remember 4 years ago on here when we were all bring that up when the Creature wasn't included in the Universal Monster's maze that year, even when Murdy was giving that presentation about the house at Scare LA. Not to mention the following...

As excited as I am for this house, I'm still bummed Creature from the Black Lagoon has yet to be included at any of the Hollywood's Universal Monsters houses :( Overall I do hope the house leans more into the Mummy lore, since it's been 4 years since we've seen him at the event in a house.

Assuming this year's scare zone layout will be the same as last year's, there are several. For example, despite the Upper Lot having 2 scare zones back-to-back, the area around Water World, which leads to a maze in the queue, is technically a safe zone the closer you are to the maze line...

I think a fair amount of the HHN forum fans have, but we're probably at that point that we've kinda accepted, in the back of our minds, them reusing masks in other properties, kinda like they do other props and set pieces.

Hearing that possibility actually makes the maze ever more intriguing, given that I felt that the Brides of Dracula (as well as Dracula in particular) were given the short end of the stick, despite his image being used in the promotional art for 2018's maze. Not to mention, the 5 times I went...

I remember a year after the attraction opened that there were rumors of the final rooms (the cage rooms and that awkward room with the tv screens) were "temporary" and that they were gonna be replaced with a new room or 2 that would include material from the current seasons at the time. But it...

The moment my eyes saw the word "fly" in Murdy's tweet just made me wish David Cronenberg's The Fly was even a possible IP we could try to pursue.

I mean it was a hypothetical. The way I approached a Conjuring maze coming to HHN was if WB only allowed Universal one year to use that franchise at the event, I'd assume the creative team would want to take advantage of all the released films that fall under that umbrella, so as to utilize and...

Guess we're going down to 9 mazes again (kinda like 2015's maze count dropping with the demolition of House of Horrors). But no biggie!

I always think that the year after they include an additional maze, it gives the creative team the experience to better plan and allocate the budget to whatever attractions they do the following. Given that I highly doubt next year we're seeing a maze increase, I'm positive the team will have a...

If it was in the budget to have more than one actor in that room for the scare, as well as the physical space for the actors, I would've had two blackout actors, one on each side, hiding behind both doors and simultaneously open them and have the actor playing Zombie Nathan burst out with the...

It's inevitable that Orlando will always have the better set pieces and environments. They have a bigger budget and more access to sound stages, which as we all know has a lot of advantages in terms of recreating scenes. Every year, when videos from both coasts start uploading to YouTube, and...

I heard people saying that, while they beat us in sets and environments, our Ghostbusters, Us and KKFOS mazes were better at scares.

One of my favorite scares, that can sort of count as a "top scare", was in 2007 and 2008, with TCM. At the end of the maze (the Slaughterhouse scene), you walked through this cage where 3 Leatherface actors, one on each side and the other on a pedestal that allowed the actor to have access to...

The actors in that maze are extremely aggressive and persistent with scaring guests, sometimes repeatedly in the same room. Given that it may not be as high-tech as some of the other mazes, or filled with outrageous scare tactics, the actors are motivated to really push the boundaries in it with...

Have a double-team scare with Steve charging you on the left with his bat and Dustin coming at you on the right, screaming his lungs out while spraying you with Farrah Fawcett Hair Spray.

I think people were mainly disappointed with not getting the Starcourt Mall or seeing any of the other characters in the maze. Some people in line ahead of us almost tried going backwards after the final room because they thought they accidentally went through an emergency exit and assumed there...

My wife, her two sisters, 3 of my grad school friends and all their spouses, 2 old high school friends, and I went Friday, and for sure both Origins and Wax Works were incredible! Definitely more water gags in the latter house than expecting. The robotics in that maze were also unexpected and...

You'd think that image would be something they'd use to sell t-shirts and other merch for.
