HHN 2016 & The Houses Are...

We are going for the first time, super excited!! We will be at universal 10/10-10/15 before moving to WDW 10/16-28th. Planning on doing a RIP tour Friday 10/14 but still trying to figure out the best night. Does it matter what night of the week you go as far as crowd levels if you are doing the tour? Anyone else going that time that is setting up a private tour? Also, we have an 8 and 5 year old that will have an in room sitter. Never done that b4, any experiences with it?

If you're doing a private tour it doesn't matter what night you do it. You do the houses with no queue.......I've never done it as we go many nights over our trip, and it finishes very late for us.......:D but friends have.........and love it. If one of them see the post they'll reply.

Other friends have used the in room sitter and were very impressed. One set has 3 kids and they all adored the sitter. I never asked about how they went about it or any details but they would happily do it again.
 
First time going to HHN and when i found out the 1st house was Texas Chainsaw i am now super stoked its one of my all time fave horror films .
 
Trying to plan our night and wondering what time the non private RIP tours usually meet? Anyone know?
 

Thanks. I've found conflicting info online. I've read it starts at 8 but then I've also read that they have a couple of different start times to pick from.
mac would know for sure...believe in the past around 8 pm. Lasts approx 4 hours with up to 12 in a group

They might,

Macraven (mod here) is the go-to person to for HHN.

PM her, she might know for sure how it was last year

Some times they have had 15 in the public tours
It is up to UO to decide the number for the groups
That info will be released when they have all the kinks worked out

We don't have the numbers or facts yet
 
Exciting times! I've always wanted to go to HHN but, alas, I don't think I ever will get that chance. Mrs. Homie does not do scary, and I don't really think that's something that I could enjoy alone. Maybe I can talk my sister to coming along....
 
I go solo to Hhn
I hook up with other homies on these boards for many of my nights
Last year I did 6 nights and did 2 of them solo

Wasn't bad at all doing solo

I'll be putting up a Hhn when are you going soon

If you see others having the same dates as you, send them a pm and see if they welcome others

That is what I have done in past years

You don't have to do everything with them but do the houses and visit some

You would be welcome to join me on any of the nights I will be attending
 
I don't really get scared at these kinds of things, but I can promise you I'll be a little shaky going into The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Freddy and Jason? No problem. Michael Myers? Got it. But a Chainsaw wielding, cannibalistic maniac?! :sad2:

i called today and they have not released that information.

the only ones that are allowed to book the public unmasking the horror tours are those that have booked and paid for the SF hotel hhn package.
this is the day tour that has two sections.
morning 10:30 and afternoon at 2:00

it is a 2 to 2.5 hour tour for each session.

in the past years, the private rip hhn tour begins by 7:00
this is the one i book and have since 2005.

the public rip hhn tours are great also.
I used to do them back from 2000 to 2004.

some past years there were 3 time periods for the public tours on saturdays.
some years fridays were included on the 3 different time periods

last year i don't remember exactly but i know there were tours beginning at 7 and at 8 pm.
some weekends are more crowded than others.
depends on the dates.
if there was a public rip tour at 9 on the friday i went, that is possible.
friday, saturday and some sundays the parks close at 2:00 am

those would be the nights that a 9 pm tour could begin as you get 4 hours of tour time.
but, like i said, i don't remember if 3 tour times have been offered in the past 3 years or not.

i would think you could expect the public rip tours to start at 7 and 8 and end after 4 hours.

private tours begin at 7 and end at 2 am


in all the years i have gone, the saturday of the columbus day weekend is blacked out for tours.
it is a buy out night and all tour guides are used for tours in this group.

btw, my avator was taken in the american werewolf of london 2 years ago.
that is Kim on the side of me and David in the hospital bed behind us.

Thank you for all of the great info!! We are planning on going on a Sunday night and definitely want to book the non private tour.
 
Sunday of the Columbus Day weekend is super crowded

It would be a perfect night to book the rip tour
 
Not fussed about this one at all..........although the house may be good.........but I am the person that didn't watch The Exorcist for years thinking it would be too scary........finally watched it and thought it was utter junk and not in the least scary...........

Hope next house is better............
 
Put me in the camp old enough to have seen original exorcist at movies. It was groundbreaking for its time especially as to subject matter. Lots of ruffled religious feathers. I'm a sucker for thAt horror genre. Think they could do a lot with the house

I think the house will be fantastic..........well, I hope it will be. I like to be impressed.......

Oh yes I remember vaguely all the hooha about the movie and the theme of it.....think that added to my fear as a kid for watching it...........think I would have been 6 when it first came out and as a teen all my friends had see it.......I was too chicken.......lol......think I built it up in my head. Watched it finally with a boyfriend who loved it and got offended when I laughed........oh dear.......:blush:
