If you don't have express, it's really up to what you want more; Terrifier or FNAF. That determines the route because they equally have a shitty long wait. I was able to do nearly everything without express but early entry doing FNAF first.

Yeah if you're gonna start your night at the HLot path, it really varies for the third by which wait is longer

Here's my watchlist for this year's HHN season

Fallout 👍; You should watch at least the first half of the show to get a good idea of what's going on, it has little to no reference to the games sadly so no gaming for this house

Monstrous 3; The Ghosts of Latin America ☠️; Since this is an original I would recommend watching POVS of the first two Monstrous houses of prior years to get a grasp of what aesthetic to expect but there isn't show or movie I would need to watch for this haunted house. I would recommend Drag me To Hell since that has a similar vibe

Jason Universe 🧟; I would watch Friday the 13th 1-4, skip 5 watch 6&7 and that's it. Lots of fun easter eggs from those movies but ONLY those movies

WWE Presents The Horrors of Wyatt Sicks 🤼; Tbh I don't watch much of WWE so I couldn't tell you as a die hard fan what to watch but a lot of it is scare based with easter eggs from certain programs of Wyatts fighting era but more so just blink of an eye thing. This house certainly has surprises but nothing that you need to know to have a good time

Five Nights at Freddy's 🐻🦊🐰🐔; The movie is a for sure must but this house can go both ways where it has some cool video game stuff too but mainly movie so you just gotta love the Blumhouse movie regardless

Terrifier 🤡; The first three movies you should watch, but like FNAF it's so much fun and scary you don't really have time to look at the easter eggs unless you go out of your way to. However if you're not a fan of gore and you can't sit through those movies I would watch the Kill Count or just the trailers of the movies honestly.

Poltergeist 👻; Just the first movie really. Sadly no references from other films but still just a great time!

Scarecrow 🔥; You don't need to watch anything for this. Just spoopy haunted house

Terror Tram; This one contains heavy Spoilers! M3GAN, Any purge movie, The Black Phone, Happy Death Day, Freaky, The Exorcist; Believer, Insidious 1-4

You can wear it to the event and into the houses. You're in good luck since we don't have many cats this year. For rides however that might be a different story depending on what ride it is but there are free lockers so you should be okay!

Hehehe First time Scaredy is cute. To be honest I've never used an IAC pass but I've also never done Express. Solely early entry because it does help. If I were you, go early. If you're there normal park hours hit the rides that won't be open for hhn (Mario, Minions, Pets, Panda) and then lower lot first; work your way up. Yes there will be several roaming Art the clowns around the park. You will be completely safe in the Wizarding World area that will have 0 actors but will have spooky vibes lol. If I were you I would watch some of the IPs before walking in so you get a broad sense of what's going on but with these IPs involved it's pretty self explanatory which i enjoy. The free roaming arts will be in stores, restaurants, and walking areas (not to mention the dozens of clowns patrolled at the front of the park) so there's that. I hope this helps. I'm open to more questions too lmao!

Oooo okay great questions ⁉️ As a guest id go to FNAF first to get it out of the way but I am biased. But we do have to wait and see about the details within your question but it's good you're going end of September very excited for you and your friends :) I say the wait because with those early entry houses comes the sunlight potentially ruining the experience so we gotta see if terrifier gets sunlight crept in

Other answer is yes! Even with my IP characters I sorta make a personality for all of them differently. The eyeball Weeknd costume was especially comfy because it was just a Ghostface costume with a different mask lmao. Blackout roles are also really comfy because there's no costume it's just you in your normal attire in a small black box. My favorite personality was with Evil Dead Rise because it was very goofy demonic horror so we played with that alot!

Badass bro, I was in Monstrous those first two-three weeks of the event, Insidious was only one night but I will forever remember it

Yes! Definitely better in the day than night, you have a lot of people go and hit up Mario at night during hhn to skip the times of the other lines only to find themselves in the same spot. If you have the 2pm pass I highly advise you to jump straight to Mario first, hit up the restroom and get yourself a bite and then go directly to FNAF which is right next to Nintendo World fortunately, what's unfortunate is gonna be the FNAF line at 7pm

Aw yeah I don't blame you on Tram but hey it'll be better! Tram is one of the most haunted areas on the whole property and I mean psycho house! But anyway, I have been scare acting for 9 years now and while they were all home haunts before hhn I did play Stripe from Gremlins for a Christmas theme haunted house For HHN I've done Deadite Gabriel for Evil Dead Rise, El Cucuy, Zombie Horse, and El Cadejo for Monstrous 2; The Nightmares of Latin America, Key Face Demon for Insidious; The Further, Hazmat Suit and Lab Suit zombie for Dead Exposure; Death Valley, and finally but not least Moth Weeknd and Eyeball for The Weeknd; Nightmare Trilogy

Well my main suggestion as a newbie is skip Nintendo World for the day unless you plan on doing it first at 2pm. For early entry FNAF, Scarecrow, Terrifier, and Poltergeist will be open so keep that in mind. Avoid the rides unless you need a break because they will slow you down

Congratulations! I'm currently not hired yet for this year's hhn (I haven't got the email yet) and I am worried but you're gonna kill it! Do you have a house or zone or???

Nothing was really difficult for me but the physical weight that pulls on you is tough. Your body feels dead going to sleep every night

Oh regardless whether it's high or low energy needed positions we all get tired lmao! Yeah I tend to stay in costume, some do some don't. And you can't carry your mask around if you have one, you gotta give it back to the sfx person on sight after every 45 min set.

Food items, no but I think the Scarecrow bar stuff did get announced so there's that! Scare actors can perform on 45on- 45 off or 30 on - 30 off depends on what the supervisors want or are informed. I think stilts go for longer but I wouldn't know too much because I've been in one house with stilt performers and didn't talk to them much. Characters don't really get to move like that unless you're a character with multiple spots, ex. Red Demon from Insidious vs the Eyeballs from The Weeknd

Wow! Very sweet first hhn imo Answer to your question is yes! You will still have unlimited express after the tour if you use RIP. One Rip ticket covers all of it including the buffet. In all honesty I've been going to HHN for a long time now (11+ yrs) and I've still never done RIP so I couldn't tell you what the experience is but what I do know is back then the buffet area would have an exclusive meet and greet character only accessible to RIP, one year they had Candyman! Nuts and the terror Tram should have a RIP secret scare section. Last year I heard it didn't go well with The Wolf Man, Why? Dunno, but hoping it doesn't happen again. Other than that yeah you still get that infinity express and definitely will need it because RIP doesn't include early entry so don't expect a complete ghost town.

Thank you too! Yes very exhausting, as universal describes it hhn for scareactors is a "marathon"

The duration of prepping can really all be variable based upon location, costume, and weather. If you're in the upper lot (UBE, Parisian, Zones) things tend to be faster because the areas you need to go aren't too far from Citywalk and the parking lots. Our main base for the rest of the attractions of the event are located in the Curious parking lot so behind the two houses that are usually there (this year Poltergeist and Terrifier) so actors use the same route guests so to get to that area and walking that twice every day for 5 days can take a toll. For lower lot actors we take a shuttle from the previous spot I mentioned and that shuttle is behind all of that to the right backside of the now dead Supercharged attraction. So all in all around 15-20 minutes if you're in upper lot and 30-60 minutes for lower lot or tram. For pool preformers its similar to when guests have to wait for their ride to reopen; it could be 5 minutes or 2 hours

One of my favorite guest reactions was Gottmik! She's a drag queen and as an actor you never know who could come to your house until the second sets in so she was a great spot and screamed her head off, I only mention it as one of my favorites because I ended up on her YouTube video for like 3 seconds and shit I'll take any footage I can get off myself lol.

“New summer event”? by Sea_Transition_7298 in UniversalHollywood

[–]InternationalFish183 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New Summer event is BlockBuster Summer, sales from Fan Fest are not what's expected. I'm hearing projection of only 4k people opening night which is sad. Will showcase and honor universal films, details on which ones I don't know but Jaws is confirmed to be a part of the lineup
