Employee preview last night, and although I am not an employee, some friends got me in.
Only saw four houses, but of those, Wolf Man was the best. Amazing sets (the outdoor woodsy one is still stuck in my mind), impressive costumes, some great scares.
I've only seen the first Saw film, and wasn't a fan, but the Saw house is also very impressive. Definitely captured the "vibe" of the movie, and has some interesting set pieces. Probably the biggest number of scares, as well...people all around us were literally jumping back throughout the house. If you are a fan of the movies, I could see this being your "House of the Year."
Leave It to Cleaver felt more about the dark humor than the scares, but was still alright.
Dracula was a bit disappointing. Mostly his brides, and Marie Antionette look-alikes just don't really freighten me. Another impressive set, though.
Missed Bill & Ted, sadly, but got dragged to RHPS again. Same as the past two years, still don't get the appeal, and apparently neither does 80% of the audience. And whatever appeal screaming at a movie screen might hold, it just seems down-right rude when people are actually singing 20 feet away. And they cut the best song of the movie. Honestly, I don't know why they can't just keep Beetlejuice open.
Bloodbag jello shots were back, no flashing cups yet.
