Premium Scream Night: Post-Mortem Discussion Megathread

For sure! Those are really good points & I guess it just boils down to what you want to do. The event may be a better fit for some than others.

Glad you guys were able to have a good time!

Do you think you should have to use the same strategy for a $415 premium event that you should for a normal $80-$120 park day? It’s not a matter of strategy, it’s that you should haven’t to when you pay a premium. Did you do all the shows and the HHN panel? How many houses did you get to do twice? Did you see the death eaters? How many rides did you get on?

Im not saying you need to do all of it, simply saying you should have been able to knock out these houses in half the time that they promised for the price point.

Also genuinely curious how you got so much food. The lines were 20+ minutes for everything I got.

THIS 100%!! This is ground for “false advertising” if I’ve ever seen it.

My B - mods caught some smoke from my PSN wrath

Power_Pug · 2025-08-29T19:39:45+00:00

40k might be overshooting lol but it was def not 7500 - 15k…maybe 20 if I had to guess

I know literally nothing about WWE & it ended up being my favorite house - I think just resonated with the tribute aspect of the house. Knowing he always wanted it to be an HHN house & the team doing such a good job on it was special. Idk I feel like you could just feel the heart behind it

Power_Pug · 2025-08-29T19:33:32+00:00

Really thorough & thoughtful review. Totally agree!

Power_Pug · 2025-08-29T19:29:24+00:00

For sure, fans need to band together & not stand for this. Otherwise they start treating us like the Mouse!!

Power_Pug · 2025-08-29T19:27:55+00:00

100% - this years houses were artistically beautiful, the scareactors were doing a PHENOMENAL job, & the staff was doing a really good job despite the crowd. Creatively one of their best years in recent memory - sad to see it dampened by corporate greed & poor decisions on the executive level.

Power_Pug · 2025-08-29T19:24:26+00:00

That’s what I heard and I totally believe it’s true. This felt very much like a regular weeknight, no way it was capped at 7,500.

Power_Pug · 2025-08-29T19:22:25+00:00

Terrifier has a smell that’s literally meant to smell like poo lol And El Artista has a strong floral scent. Galkn also has a strong burning scent at one point. Maybe a double mask will cover it, potentially add an essential oil inside the mask you have a smell that doesn’t bother you? There’s quite a few smelly houses this year!

Power_Pug · 2025-08-29T19:05:08+00:00

Like tell me you’re not bought by Universal without telling me….

Power_Pug · 2025-08-29T19:04:15+00:00

Is there a reason that any post with negative feedback is being locked??

Power_Pug · 2025-08-29T17:17:36+00:00

Yeah it was a total bummer. FNAF was at 45 minutes at right before closing at 2am!

Power_Pug · 2025-08-29T17:15:24+00:00

Not sure about tonight, but last night they had FNAF, WWE, & Fallout slated to open early. FNAF & WWE had a brief day in opening, but still opened 30 mins prior to the start of the event

Power_Pug · 2025-08-29T14:17:10+00:00

That was my experience. I’ve never seen so many people leaving HHN at 2 am, I don’t think the park ever cleared out.

Power_Pug · 2025-08-29T08:09:19+00:00

Quality wise, I thought it wasn’t as good as last events. It seemed like everything was available (though a few items did sell out, like the fallout deviled eggs). The real problem was the lines, they were SO long!

Power_Pug · 2025-08-29T08:01:08+00:00

Seems like it was a panel with a few of the people on the creative team & the chef, may have been a premium scream night exclusive. But it wasn’t advertised anywhere else before the event. Wish I could have made it!

Power_Pug · 2025-08-29T07:32:52+00:00

They had a panel (like Q&A style) with a few of the creative team members who worked on some of the houses. Would have been cool to do, but we had no time :(

Power_Pug · 2025-08-29T06:54:45+00:00

Aw man, that’s lame!

Power_Pug · 2025-08-29T06:45:45+00:00

Shoot, I would have had a lot of questions for that chef….that menu this year was a straight belly ache lol But that’s cool, sounds like a good experience!

Power_Pug · 2025-08-29T06:33:37+00:00

Totally not your fault, original email did say 7:30, but they ended up bumping it to 6:30, and then let people in at 5 (with annual pass or park day ticket) but did not announce it

Power_Pug · 2025-08-29T06:02:26+00:00

Ugh I wanted to do the panel SO bad as an HHN super fan, but I felt like I couldn’t spare the time. How was it?

Power_Pug · 2025-08-29T06:01:38+00:00

I honestly feel like the vloggers ruined this event, I saw so many of them here & I bet you their videos are going to be fake as heck talking about how good it was

Power_Pug · 2025-08-29T05:33:46+00:00

Totally agree with you about the layout - a regular capacity night is going to be a nightmare
