HHN part two!

Following my own advice (read the first HHN post) a group of us boogied on over to Universal Studios Orlando on a chilly Friday night. On this visit to Halloween Horror Nights we were on a mission, to visit as many houses as possible before starvation and exhaustion kicked in. No shows, no stopping, no mercy! Our group arrived at 7:30 and immediately started our journey into terror.

We blew past the scare zone Esqueleto Muerte and headed into Psychoscareapy. The scare zone was a welcomed change from tall, overweight guys with chainsaws; though it wasn’t very scary. The house was great and featured a familiar face know only as “Izzy Evil”. Immediately after Psychoscarepy we hit Hades, after dodging guys with chainsaws. This house was amazing! It takes a less “fire and brimstone” approach and uses legendary creatures such as the Minotaur, Griffin, and Cyclops to scare patrons. After exiting Hades we headed past the Mummy through the scare zones Zombie Gras and Saws & Steam then into the Orphanage. Again, Zombie Gras is original but not that scary, and of course in Saws & Steam there was another pack of tall overweight guys with chainsaws roaming about. At the Orphanage there are of course, children, and I don’t know what it is but ghost children are really creepy.

After the Orphanage we walked over to Havoc. This house was great as well, with mutated soldiers and plenty of screaming (not from me of course). We then went to Catacombs which I enjoyed more this time around when compared to our first visit to Halloween Horror Nights. Our group then traveled over to Hallowed Past. This house was spectacular; it features all the great ghouls and creatures from past Halloween Horror Nights. I don’t want to spoil it for you but needless to say this was my favorite house. On our way out of the park we walked through a scare zone which contained some more horrors from the past. With two houses left we flipped a coin and headed into Legendary Truth which also featured creepy ghost children.

At 2 am we left Halloween Horror Nights tired and hungry. We stopped to get some delicious pumpkin pancakes and then headed home. Our group braved the best horrors Universal Studios could show us, and we want more! I’m getting another group of friend together and heading back, this time to enjoy the hilarious Bill and Ted’s Excellent Halloween Adventure. With my Frequent Fear Pass I get to go again and again and again. Not sure if this should be included – As before here is a tip when visiting Halloween Horror Nights, visit Zombiegeddon first. The house was closed due to technical problems later in the night. This seems to be a common occurrence and the house maybe closed for good so do yourself a favor and hit this home first.
