HHN & pictures

[luvdisdogs]

Hi everyone! You have all been so helpful with all my questions but I have one more. Should you bring a camera to HHN? Are you allowed to take pictures of the Scareactors?

 

[schumigirl]

Of course you are.........they are more than happy to pose for pictures.

But not in the houses......no cameras allowed in them. I have plenty in my latest 2015 trip report.........

macraven does an official HHN thread every year.........we all look forward to it every year.........look out for that as its full of info and lots of images!!!

Thank you! I'll have to check out your trip report. I have a feeling that after the first time we go to HHN we will want to come every year!!

 

[schumigirl]

Oh I'm sure you will.......it is an amazing event and so much fun..........we have literally hundreds of pics of last year's horror nights and even more from years before.........

The SA do an amazing job.......and we thought last year particularly the roaming SA seemed more keen than ever to stop for pics......we got some whoppers!

Once macraven starts her yearly thread the excitement level builds on here.......

Like most of us......once you've been once you'll want to go back again.........

Photography is allowed in many areas (not including inside houses or during the B&T show) during HHN but please bear in mind that the scareactors' first responsibility is to play their part in the show, and many times that will not include posing for photographs. Some scare zones, such as last year's Icons of Horror and 2014's FaceOff were designed to provide photo ops, but other scare zones are not. Also, please try to avoid using your flash/external lighting or at the very least, if you need to use a flash, please ask for permission first. Camera flashes and phone lights can be blinding and with bulky costumes or stilts in dark areas flashes can be dangerous to the scareactors. Plus, most of the time with the fog effects and such, flash pictures will come out like crap anyway. So while you are welcome to bring your cameras and take photographs, please be respectful to the scareactors and other guests and if you are asked by a TM to stop taking pictures or turn off your video camera light, just comply with their request and don't argue. It only makes you look like a jerk and could end up getting you trespassed.

Sorry for the lecture but I'm very protective of my scareactor friends.

Oh and schumigirl - I ended up with almost 1400 HHN images in my FLICKR album last year, lol.

Pammy......absolutely agree with you........we found last year, and previous year's most SA happily stop if they see you or husband want to take a picture........if the character has a handler for want of a better word, they are usually good at requesting powerfully, or failing that telling people to take their flashes out of the actors face......

You do see some who have no respect whatsoever for others never mind SA!

But there are still folks like us that are considerate for the SA's like yourself.........

1400 images! Wow.......

That is why I'm asking questions regarding HHN since I've never been. I would never want to be disrespectful to any of the scareactors. I go to a lot of concerts so I know all about the flash photography and would never want to do something to cause an accident. Thanks for all your great advice!!!!

I have one other question I know you all can help me with. Do they sell special merchandise just for HHN?
