    Official 2022 HHN 31 - Horror is Universal

    Since you are on-site and have express, I recommend (though please don’t take my word as gospel) using the hotel entrance. Get there before 5:15 and go straight into Hellblock Horror when they open the line. You won’t have to use express. Then go to Halloween and use express. Then Coven with...

    Official 2022 HHN 31 - Horror is Universal

    Some suggest that if you Stay and Scream, you can use standby first and return later with Express Pass. Good strategy if you plan to run those houses the same night. If you’re talking about Halloween house, unless you are set on going there twice in one night, I highly recommend using Exoress...

    Official 2022 HHN 31 - Horror is Universal

    I’m way out of the loop, but I saw some talk about the on-site guest entry. If this has already been discussed, I apologize, but I feel those that can take advantage should consider this. We used the on-site guest entry tonight for the first time ever. I don’t know if this is how it worked in...

    When we've been able to go when Rush of Fear is valid, we were able to save so much money. It's a fantastic ticket. Otherwise, it's Frequent Fear for us (if going 3+ nights). You're absolutely right that it is nerve wracking waiting to find out if those tickets will be available this year. I...

    Glad I was able to help! Just one clarification, and you might already understand I just want to make sure. The Frequent Fear pass is valid on HHNs on Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday (there is a Frequent Fear+ that adds Fridays). Then there is the Rush of Fear pass, which is a subset of the...

    Official 2022 HHN 31 - Horror is Universal

    Thanks for the feedback on your experience, it definitely helps new HHN folks. You are absolutely right about the steps involved. Those backstage loops really add up. That is a hidden advantage of the RIP tours, since they can go straight from exit to entrance without looping around. So many...

    Official 2022 HHN 31 - Horror is Universal

    Ok, I think I see what you're saying. With the option of 4 daytime tickets, but using one on Thursday just to get in early, then I think I would opt to not get 4 daytime (3 day instead) and use the savings to go towards upgrading from a single night of HHN to the Rush of Fear (historically it...

    I want to make sure I'm giving you proper advice here, but I'm a bit confused about the question. I just want to make sure I understand, since as we all know this is a very expensive event. I'm not trying to be obtuse, I just want to make sure I am giving the best advise here, so please bear...

    For a one-night HHN without Express, I would suggest considering eating a full meal at City Walk (or wherever) before entering the park. Then if you get there early for stay and scream, start with your most anticipated houses, while you get the head start. Then a little later, you can get quick...

    Official 2022 HHN 31 - Horror is Universal

    Totally respect macraven's preference, but we like to go one night to HHN before the Unmasking Tour just to be unaware the first time. Then we like to have the Unmasking tour before the rest of our nights, so we know what to look for and know the secrets from the tour. Either method is fine...

    Official 2022 HHN 31 - Horror is Universal

    Oh, it's a mixed bag, to be honest. Some will wind up on the list, some will be changed, and some will be sorta-like what was listed. It's just something for us HHN-freaks to talk about in the meantime, but the speculation is based on semi-good information being leaked from those in the know...

    Seeds of Extinction: Our first two runs were not good at all and we placed it in the bottom of the rankings. But... Our last two runs were perfect and it rocketed to the top spot for our rankings. Crazy how timing (and possibly cast changes) can totally change the perception of a house. I...

    Official 2022 HHN 31 - Horror is Universal

    I won't be a whole lot of help, but I'll take a stab (waka, waka, waka) at it. I believe opening night has sold out one or both of the last two years of HHN. I don't remember if the Saturday or Sunday nights sold out though. Lots of media/social media there the first night. I checked the...

    Do you have an early or late departure time? If you won't have HHN express and plan to do all the houses, you'll probably be pretty tired the next day (we're tired the next day with HHN express). That might be a consideration on whether next day at VB with cabana or travel day is better.

    Official 2022 HHN 31 - Horror is Universal

    I recommend going ahead and booking what you can get now (you'll only pay a refundable deposit of one night at the time of reservation), but keep checking the availability of the other resorts. People change their plans all the time and make days pop-up and then pop-out when booked by someone...

    I'm hearing Stranger Things is less likely this year. When I first heard about that a few weeks ago, I wasn't too disappointed; however, having watched half of this season, there's tons of great material that could make the best ST house by far. Assuming the rest of Season 4 holds up, then...

    Poltergeist: I was at first disappointed to not enter the maze via a facade of the house (since the house is a "character" too); however, how many opportunities are we going to have to enter the maze via an in-construction swimming pool in a thunderstorm. Wound up being one of my favorite facades.

    From my memory (so I hope this is right) ... Studios closed at 5:00 on Sunday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday (for HHN - and this is absolutely correct). Studios closed at 6:00 or 7:00 on Monday and Tuesday (I think). Islands of Adventure was open until 7:00 every night (again, I...

    A few years ago, I told a co-worker about HHN and how we love going to the event (from a few states away). After I told him about what it was like, he said, "But that's not scary. I want to be scared. There's a place here that will put a bag on your head and pull you to a location and chain...

    Whew, where to start? Universal Classic Monsters, Hammer chamber horrors, Hitchcock and British thrillers/chillers, Rise of the 70s and 80s slashers, 70s and 80s Italian giallo, 90s and 2000s Japanese supernatural horrors... I tend to somewhat slow down after 2010. All-time favs? Evil Dead...
