Thurs. HHN crowds? Touring Plan?

[MartDM]

Hi!

We've always done HHN on a weekend but will be going on Thursday 10/11 this year. I'm just wondering if the off peak night crowds are as intense as the weekend night crowds (I know there are a lot of locals who have Frequent Fear passes) and what we could expect to face crowd wise.

We do have express passes and will do Stay & Scream...we like to get through as many houses as we can without the pass, then double back & repeat them with the pass once the lines grow. To that end, we obviously want to target the best/most wanted to repeat houses first but I can't decide what order to target them in from the reviews I've read. Anyone have a recommended touring plan for me?

PS-we'll probably skip B&T & RH shows...perhaps catch Jack's show if time allows (we'll be on a tight schedule due to DS being with a babysitter at the hotel), so our focus is truly just on seeing the houses, twice if it works out.

I was there again last night and it wasn't too crowded but each week the crowds will build. You should be able to do at least four houses w/o using the EP like we did.

Because the houses have staggered opening times, you will do Nightmare on Elm Street first since that's right beside the S & S area and then head down and do Psychoscareapy. You can read my trip report from last night to get an idea of what we did.

Actually, I just got done reading it before hitting this forum It had exactly the details I was looking for.

Yet again, you rule the day MetroWest. I feel like I owe you a concierge fee for all the great info you've provided

Think nothing of it my good man...it's all in the spirit of the Universal homies!
