Questions about HHN tickets

[Fairy Godmother]

My family is going to Universal September 22-27 and plan to attend HHN on the 24th and 25th. I need advice deciding wich tickets to get.
What I am thinking of doing is getting Frequent Fear Pass since that would be cheaper than adding on Stay and Scream tickets for Friday and Saturday nights. I am not sure if we need the Frequent Fear with Express Pass since that adds $80 to each ticket and we are going for 2 nights. If going 2 nights in a row is express pass necessary? The other thing I was thinking about would be to get the express pass for only Friday night since that would only be $39.99.
We have never been to HHN before so any advice on the tickets(or anything else) is appreciated.
One last question. If I understand things right if we have passes to Universal for the day and the frequent fear pass we will be able to do Stay and Scream.
Thanks

EDIT: Whoops, sorry blonde moment.

Also yes, if you have an HHN Ticket and are in the park before 5, you will be directed to the stay and scream area and will be released shortly before the gates open to the public at 6:30.

We are going September 24th (Friday) and 25th (Saturday) which is the first week end and part of the frequent fear pass.
Sorry for being confusing and thanks for clarifying about stay and scream.

Oh boy, sorry, I was not thinking. Somehow September slipped my mind.

I don't go on opening weekend, so maybe someone who goes could let you know how the crowds are. It may be better to get express on Friday and save 20 dollars, and then hit your favorite Saturday without the express. Someone else could let you know if it would be needed though

Thanks. That is what I was thinking.

I always go on opening weekend and the crowds are pretty large. Lots of people show up because they've waiting a year for HHN to return. It will be busy that weekend as all nights are. If you have Express and are able to do S & S, you should do well in seeing everything. The only thing that might keep you from seeing everything is the show schedule. You have to plan around the shows.
