Not sure if this is the right spot to put this (mods, feel free to move), but they have an HHN ad up in the park (USF side), along with some of the sets from the Lair of the Banshee scare zone.

Here's a picture

Also I wonder if scare actors are out or if you just look at the sets.
Edit: Alex got to it before me

 

[JoeCamel]

Can they just carve out a place and do this year round?......... Please?!

FF Live?

 

[Speed]

Wow I thought it was going to just be an area to see what a scare zone looks like at night with the props and lighting but it looks like they turned it into all around scarezone. Would definently like to see this year round.

The PlayList Live event is brilliant. Rather than concentrating on blogs/Twitter accounts followed mostly by people who visit the parks no matter, recruit new brand ambassadors who likely have never even heard of the event before.

Universal should never do a year around HHN anything.

Frequent Fear Plus Pass has appeared on the Universal UK tickets page

Reunion Audition sign-ups (I've been told) go live tonight. I've still seen a good bit of hand-wringing over the length of this year's event.

Not a fan of the Walking Dead experience? C'mon it's the highlight of any Universal visit.

1. Holy crap, I can post from my phone again! This merger is the best thing EVER.

2. We only get one night of HHN this year, Fri Sep 29. Be prepared to say hello.

So, I might not be able to make it this year. I got hit by a car at the end of last month and with the medical bills and fallout from that, I just don't think I'll be able to swing it. :/

Damn, I'm sorry.

Sorry to hear, wishing you a speedy recovery.

I'm just binging through Twin Peaks again (my absolute favourite series) before the new season starts, and maaaan..... there is so truly much freaky stuff that would go towards making a great HHN house, not even including the freakiess that's no doubt still to come

So I don't mean to stray off topic much, but I have been wondering, what makes that show great to you? I tried to watch it recently and after three episodes I just couldn't take it anymore. I understand with it being nearly 30 years old, it is going to feel dated, but I found it borderline unwatchable. The music and the soap opera-like dramatics were just too much. I was really disappointed that I didn't like it, because I have heard so many great things.

I first watched it about 15 years ago (i was 9 when it came out!) so don't really have the original nostalgia thing being the reason why I adore it so much. It's actually quite hard to describe what I just love so completely about it! It just scratches so many lovely itches at once for me, but notably the music and the utter randomness of it at times, how it jumps from slapstick silliness to genuine horror in a blink of an eye. The way it plays on the soap opera theatrics is really part of its genius for me, but I can TOTALLY understand why others might hate everything about it. It is also 100% not perfect, even I recognise that there is some real, terrible junk in some of the episodes (especially during the middle of season 2), but again, it almost makes me love it more for that reason!

(Context- I've seen an Orlando list I can't share, and may not be accurate, but it includes the originals)

Man... if the crossover with Catacombs (which ISN'T on my list, but has been publicly mentioned previously) I'm suddenly thinking could be coming, Universal may hit new height of logical awesomeness.

Tease!!!

Tease!!!

I really hate that I don't have permission to divulge, but think the prospect is enough to TRY and prime the pump for some speculation.

If it's NOT a crossover house with Catacombs, I'd be extremely disappointed because it's not something I'm jazzed to see just get a sequel.
