It’s definitely become a selfie event, I think that’s pretty much the expectation now. I have had one interesting observation. I don’t normally take too many photos at HHN, I was with a friend and he wanted to get photos of the scare actors and they didn’t seem to like it very much and went out of their way to avoid him. I was a little shocked because the few times I had taken photos they were all over it, posing and even moving into light. I realized it’s because the few times I’ve done this it’s been with bigger DSLR’s. After this I started noticing this trend a lot more. If they perceive that you have a nice camera they’ll go out of their way for photos with you likely with the hope they’ll eventually get nice photos of themselves that they can find through social media, if your taking an iPhone photo good luck.So I've got a question and was curious about other peoples experiences with this, not directly related to HHN 28 but the event as a whole. Every year selfies with scare actors become more and more popular which I would think would be more disruptive and annoy the actors, so I personally have always video recorded and filmed in passing. However the actors always seemed to turn their back or avoid interacting with the camera which I though was odd considering I don't have to be like "hey take a pic" "do a selfie with me" specifically the Shining twins last year id see them stop for photos but then if I just simply passed by them the second they saw the camera they would turn and walk the other direction. Is there any reason for this that I'm not aware of? Sorry for the length or if this is in the wrong discussion couldn't find another more relevant
