Last Sunday, October 28.
We enter USO just under 4:30 on our PAPs. (And were reminded the park closes at 5:00.) These last two times our passes have not worked in their system.
Evidently the newer PAPs do not have photos. Ours do, and they are current. So we have not had too much issue entering, although their system would not read them.
We killed a little time and then headed to Finnegan's. We did not want to be stuck eating burgers with stale buns like last time.
When entering, we were told we would have to stay there until 6:30. Fine with us. At least it has A/C and a place to sit.
We had a very good server. She suggested we try their Shrimp Escargo. Normally we don't care that much for appetizers, but figured what the heck. We had plenty of extra time.
DH had a Coke. I had ice tea.
They brought their usual warm soda bread, served with apple butter. (Good bread.)
The appy was GOOD. yummy, yummy, yummy. Tender shrimp with garlic, butter, and cheese.
DH ordered the Shepherd's Pie. He has had that before and said it is good. (I think I have too last time we were there the first '07 HHN weekend.)
This time I ordered the Beef and Blue Cheese salad.
It was so gooooood. The greens were very tender. The meat was good too. Despite me ordering the meat WELL done, it was still pretty tender.
And the salad was huge. I knew I could not finish it, and I did not.
It was good. But all that blue cheese was salty.
Good food and service. And we were allowed to leave around 6:00.
We have done everything at least once, and been through the houses at least twice each.
This time we first watched Rocky Horror Tribute. It was much better than the first weekend when we saw it. And it was very good then.
It would be nice if that was a yearly show, and get rid of Bill & Ted's. (IMO)
We also saw Jack's stage show again. Better than the first time we saw it. But still did not do much for me.
I wished we had stood off to the side to see if we could have watched how they do the magic tricks.
Other than that we just wandered around. Still no street scaractors noteworthy. I actually felt sorry for what were there because they were given such poor characters and costumes. What can they do with those in order to look scary for anyone over a young kid's age?
(I did see one young girl crying and felt sorry for her. HHN is not the place to be if something like roaming victorian whitefaced characters scare you. Imagine what the houses did.
)
One part was funny with the pointy hat clowns on the side street by Mel's Die. One of the clowns started following some people out of the area and said aloud, "These clowns S-S-S-SCARE me." That was a hoot as how could those clowns scare anyone?
Beautiful walking weather, and another fun night.
DH and I have both said that we missed the good scare zones they have had these past years. Lots of dead street space. Way too much.
Yes, they have one more house. But neither of us would have noticed that. We rather have one less house and much better and larger scare zones. Plus Jack's show really was not anything I cared about. Where the shows in the past we watched several times and enjoyed each viewing.
I was disappointed with this year's theming anyway, as I have not watched any of those movies.
This year was VERY good. But past years were better, we think. Overall still a great time! And Freq Fear Passes make it a good buy!
