^ The only reason I didn't put Jungle of Doom was because of the total outdoor environment. Yeah the house was horrible but I thought it was cool trekking through the "jungle"
 
Can we do a top 5 scenes in a house also? :lol:

2007: Scene of Jason stabbing a girl in bed (Camp Blood)
2008: Zombie room (Dead Exposure), spine rip scene (Body Collectors)
2009: Illumination of Universal Palace Theatre facade (Silver Screams)
2010: Medusa (Hades)
2011: string room/lights room (The In-Between), every scene in Nightingales
2012: Final room of Penn and Teller

And to keep up the Bottom Five trend:

Silent Hill
Doomsday
The Spawning
House of Horrors
Alice Cooper

I've only been a few years and I cant remember names very well. But I really liked the Classic Monsters house last year. It made me jump a lot and I thought it looked the best and plus all the monsters looked great! The lamest house was probably the Fear Factor house at IOA that one year lol But I also really liked the house that was actually in a haunted house last year. I think it was called Dead End? Another neat one was with all the bubbles and it was in Toon Lagoon near Popeye.
 
If we're going to put it into a Top 5... (man this is tough!)

1) Dead Exposure
2) Dead End
3) Dracula: Legacy of Blood
3) Frankenstein: Creation of the Damned
4) Scary Tales: Once Upon a Nightmare

Bottom 5:

5) Walking Dead: Dead Inside
4) Reflections of Fear
3) The Spawning
2) Alice Cooper: Welcome to my Nightmare
1) Psychoscareapy: Echoes of Shadybrook

Scenes would take some thought, but the two scenes that completely made me lose my $#!t were the Distant Cemetery in Winter's Night and the Wrong Side of the Bed in Dead End. The Masque of Red Death scene in Nevermore was terrifying/brilliant, too. But nothing has yet to ever quite compare to the Horde scene towards the end of Dead Exposure.
 
Let me add my bottom 5 of all time. In order from crap to mega crap :down:

5. Dungeon of Terror: Retold - HHN 16
4. Jungle of Doom - HHN 13
3. Fear Factor - HHN 12
2. Vampyr: Blood Bath - HHN 17
1. The Skool - HHN 15
 
Reading this I'm reminded just how good Dead Exposure was (not sure what I'd drop, but belongs in my top 10) ... and how bad The Spawning was.
 
It also reminds of the irony that 2008 was the best year I've ever gone. It had an awesome icon, a decent interlocking story, awesome scarezoens and awesome houses. Yet the icon's house is consistently ranked as one of the worst.

On the note of The Spawning...yeah, just yeah.
