HHN 25 Anticipation Ranking

Halloween Horror Nights 25's houses look stupendous this year!  I have not yet had the chance to visit HHN personally, but plan to visit by the first of November.  There has been so much hype for many of the houses this year, such as, The American Werewolf in London, Jack Presents: 25 Years of Monsters and Mayhem, Freddy Vs. Jason, and Body Collectors: Recollections. Not to mention the spectacular scare zones this year that include The All Nite Die-in Double Feature and Evil's Roots!
 With so many great houses this year I thought it would be fun to write my Anticipation Ranking for the houses and scare zones.  Then, once I return from HHN, write about my ranking after I have personally gone through all of them.  Without further adieu, let's get started!



                                 9: The Walking Dead: The Living and The Dead
                     
I have never seen the show before, but from what I gather... it's about zombies.
Yes, I know that it is about more than zombies, but I think the main part is about zombies... and lots of them.  I don't know terribly much about the house either, but from what I can comprehend, you begin at the Terminus "safe-haven" compound, and I imagine it is full of zombies.  After you walk through Terminus you walk onto the loading dock of the Del Arno Food warehouse with packs of "W" walkers in waist high water.  
This house sounds like a lot of fun this year, but compared to all of the other houses this year, it seems to be lacking in a fear factor.

8: The Purge
The Purge House was originally intended to be the Scream house but Universal had to change it at last minute.  The Purge is a 12 hour free-for-all when all crime is legal.  The Purge was a scare zone at HHN 24, and by far it was my favorite scare zone!  Since this house was so last minute, I feel like it didn't have the time needed to make it as great as it was when it was a scare zone.
I personally think it is better to have it on the streets as a scare zone rather than in a house.

7: Run: Blood, Sweat and Fears
Run first debyued as Run: Hostile Territory, back in HHN 16.
Run: Blood Sweat and Fears is a game show where you are the star!
Remember, the more gruesome the death, the higher the ratings!
 I haven't seen too much info on Run but from what I have seen it looks like a very fun, yet scary, house!

6: Insidious 
This house looks very terrifying, and I mean that in the best way!
In this house you are face to face with the evil denizens of the Further- The Long Haired Fiend, The Lipstick-Face Demon, The Bride in Black, and the newest evil...The Man Who Can't Breath. I can't wait to see the Lipstick-face Demon and this house in person!

5: Asylum In Wonderland 3D
I am extremely excited about this house!  It is filled with vibrant colors, amazing art, and scares left 
and right!  Asylum in Wonderland is made to scare you and make you wonder if Alice is imagining this world 
or if it is real.  The fact that HHN is having another 3D house is thrilling!  The whimsical world of Wonderland hopefully gave HHN a lot to work with!



4: Body Collectors: Recollections
The Body Collectors have returned!  When a blizzard rages the Body Collectors prey upon residents of Shadybrook Asylum!  This house is horrific and gory!  From what I have seen the facade is incredible, the scare actors are right on key when it comes to timing and the special effects are amazing!  This is one house I can not wait to visit while at HHN!

3: Freddy Vs. Jason
1... 2 Freddy's coming for you... and Jason.
In this house you will see Freddy and Jason fighting to the death, but don't think they aren't going to try and get you as well!  Using elements from the 2003 thriller film, Freddy Vs. Jason, will drop guests in the middle of the epic battle!  The only reason this is the third on my list is because I heard that in the beginning it is a tad bit slow.  Now, since I have not yet had the chance to check it out for myself, I will have to rely on what others say.  

2: An American Werewolf in London
One of the fan-favorite houses from past years is returning for a comeback...the retelling of the classic horror film, An American Werewolf in London.  I have always wanted to go through this house but never had the chance.  This year with using Express passes there is no way I can pass this one up!  The special effects are wonderful and the story is spectacular!  One of my favorite things that Universal does that is kind of unique compared to other haunted attractions are their use of puppets as opposed to animatronics.  The Werewolf puppets for this house look very live-like and frightening!  

1: Jack Presents: 25 Years of Monsters and Mayhem
Jack is Back and he is inviting you for the ultimate horror reunion.  This house will feature Universal classic monsters and some of the best past HHN themes.  There is no doubt that this house will be one of the best!  Having Jack and all of his ghoulish friends return is perfect for HHN's 25th anniversary!  This house looks equally horrifying and amazing!  I can not wait to see this house for myself!

That was my Anticipation Ranking so let me know yours down in the comment section below! Be looking out for my Anticipation Ranking on the scare zones, and I will see you in the next blog!
