Totally

Doing something with the alley again has been on my wishlist for years.

That is amazing!!!!

What year was that????? ...…...they really should utilize that area again...…..

We’re the early entry nights for APH’s part of the APH appreciation deals? If so, then I guess we’re not getting it this year?

Yep.....Keisha that alley scene is creepy.....looks like the guy from Phantasm

whispers...………

(we love AOV)

Looking forward to it this year...…….think we are in the minority who will not miss B&T...….(sorry )

Count me as one that will not miss B&T. I see complaints about AOV not having anything to do with Halloween, but neither did B&T. They'd have some very loose story that might have Halloween tones, but it was a show about jamming in as many pop culture references as they could. It also had nothing to do with Bill & Ted.

I really thought this year, they would just dump the B&T tie in and do the same type of show without it. It wouldn't have changed the show at all.

I tried to watch it, but it just wasn't for me. I do feel sorry for those who enjoyed it; it sucks when something you enjoy gets taken away. Even worse when it's not really replaced.

I'm not into AOV, either. It's fine for what it is and if we walked past when they were on, we'd slow down and watch, but not stop. I won't be stopping into their show this year. To me, it's a waste of precious HHN time for something that I could see on America's Got Talent - incidentally, I saw a rumor that they will be on AGT this coming week.

All just my opinion, of course.

I'm getting a bit worried about the days we are going. Been checking for APH rates and nothing popping up yet. In fact, the only places showing rooms at rack rate are Cabana Bay and HRH. Might be pretty crowded.

Hopefully the extra house helps distribute the crowds.

A few Newbie questions:

• We have 12 & 13 year old boys. They have been to haunted houses and mazes before and have really liked it. I have watched some vlogs of past events, seems ok for their tolerance level (maybe not mine!). However, in the videos I did not really see any kids in the crowds. Is the general atmosphere more adult oriented due to the scare factor or other aspects of the event?
• I am good with just visiting 3-4 of the houses, the scare zones and show seem more up my alley. Is the event worth it just for a few houses? All the props, atmosphere, and people watching looks so fun!
• We have APs, any HHN discounts (sorry if this has been asked already). We will be there Oct 25-30.

Thanks so much for any info or advice!

Presumably you must have AP in hand for discounted HHN tickets. Is it also fair to assume that they don't "sell out" of Frequent Fear passes and the like? You can buy those any time including same day?

 

[macraven]

It’s popular and generally it will be older teens through all adult ages at hhn

Website recommends 13 and up

It’s a parental choice to take kids to hhn
It’s expensive for one night when you have a few tickets to purchase
Suggest if you go make it for the Thursday the 25 for lighter crowds

You might not need to buy the ep then

Walk through the scare zones, take pictures if you wish
They are more decorative than scary

Read up on the houses in advance and pick a few to do for starters

If your children have no problem with them, continue your evening at
Hhn

Once all the house names and their descriptions have been released, decide then on which houses you want to go thru

Whoops

 

[Robo56]

This means we might see Mikey again

 

[schumigirl]

I`m sure we will

 

[macraven]

Mikey will make
Schumi ‘s day !

 

[schumigirl]

Mikey will make
Schumi ‘s day !

I think I’m going to be very happy!!!

We leave America before the new Halloween movies comes out.........I keep hinting maybe we should fly back to see it on the 19th!!!

I think that may be a no. Expensive movie night..........

Well this house won't be based off that movie.

I didn’t think it was.

It was just a comment about missing the release of the newest movie.........

Hello Mac. I haven't posted here for a long time, but have always stopped by for a read. I just wanted to take the time to thank you for all your work here and the "Spot On" advise you give. While I haven't always agreed with your opinions on houses and shows like AOV, that's fine. That is as they say subjective. I've been going to enough HHN's to know your information is correct 99.9% of the time and your advice rates almost as high. So Thank You!

To add to the conversation: We went with my 13 year old granddaughter for her first HHN last year. While she is certainly mature for her age I wasn't sure if she was old enough, but thankfully that decision was up to her mother. By the way, I consider this one of the advantages to being a grandparent. The first two houses she was scared, but not crazy scarred. She went on to do many more houses that night with us and while still scared she loved it. As Mac said, just go to a couple houses and enjoy the environment. Then take it from there. I have one warning. You all may have so much fun that you will want to do it every year and maybe even multiple nights a trip which could lead to strains on the budget. Even worse, you may find yourself in the future saying something like this " Hello. My name is Brownie54 and I'm a HHNaholic".

 

[macraven]

Brownie!

I remember youse !

Glad you posted and shared your experiences with a teen at hhn
And thank you for your kind words

So have you booked your room, bought hhn tickets and ready to take your granddaughter back for another fun vacation and include hhn...


If you are ever at hhn anytime during my dates, give me a heads up
Would love to do a mini meet and great with you

And that goes for any other posters here

Love putting a face with a name and saying hi
