Halloween Horror Nights 26

I have been hyped for HHN since April and I am happy to announce that we are only 9 days away from the best event of the year!  I thought before the event begins I should give my HHN House Anticipation List for this year, so let's get started!


                                         9:  The Walking Dead
This should honestly be no surprise.  The Walking Dead last year was 
not considered a great house.  It seemed to lack in a lot of places, like the promised flooded food bank.  Which turned out to be a some scare actors in a hot tub, in fact I didn't even notice it walking through until later someone pointed it out.  I do feel that the HHN team could have done a better job, but it was still fun to walk through.

8: Krampus
I think this will be a good house.  Do I think it will be an amazing house?
Not exactly... I do believe that it will have some great set designs and facades but, considering the horror factor, I do not believe this house will be as frightening as some of the others.  I don't think that a house needs to be extremely horrifying, but there are so many spectacular houses ahead that I had to put Krampus at number eight.

                                          7: Tomb of the Ancients 
I absolutely LOVE the idea of a mummy themed house.
The facades for the house will, most likely, be insane! I can't wait to see the scare actors for this house.  The only reason I put it so low on the list is because we haven't been given enough info to fully understand how this house is going to turn out.  But I can assure you that this house will definitely be one to remember!

6: Ghost Town: The Curse of the Lightning Gulch
The idea of having a western house is genius!  
From what Universal has said about this house it will probably feature many strobe lights and some great set designs.  I can't wait to, hopefully, walkthrough the town of Lightning Gulch and the old saloons.  Again, the reason this house is so low on the list is because I don't have enough info on it.
I definitely have high hopes for this house.

                                         5: The Exorcist
                                The only reason this house is so low
the list is because the movie was mainly set in one room and until I see this house I can't really visualize how they would execute this.  Other than that one thing, I think this house will be amazing!  The HHN team has been dreaming to do an Exorcist house for years and are finally able to make that dream a  reality.  With so much potential, I can't wait to see what                  
                                             the HHN team does with this IP.

                                                 4: American Horror Story
I was really hoping for an AHS house this year
and, of course, HHN doesn't disappoint!  The house will be themed to three seasons: Freak Show, Murder House and Hotel.  I am most excited about Freak Show for the obvious reason, Twisty.  Twisty the clown is no Pennywise the Dancing Clown, but he sure is freaky!  I am sure they will do a great job with every season.

3: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Another house I was really hoping for
and yet again HHN doesn't disappoint!  In this house we will see the entire Sawyer family...The Cook, The Hitchhiker, The Vietnam Soldier, The Grandpa, and of course Leatherface.  This will definitely be the loudest and the bloodiest of the houses.  I am expecting that the set design and facades will be  
spectacular.  I am certain that this house won't disappoint!

       2: Lunatics Playground 3D-You Wont Stand a Chance
I absolutely love Chance and 3D houses,
so you can see why this house is so high up on my list.  Many people don't enjoy 3D houses, but I honestly think they are very entertaining.  Sure they aren't always the scariest, but they tend to have really fun set designs.  Having Chance as the icon this year was a really smart move, though many are unsure about this decision I think it's a great idea because it starts right from where we left off last year.  After walking through this house it may end up lower on the list, but for now I have high hopes!

1: Halloween II
Michael Myers is back to make his triumphant return!
Two years back at HHN 24 I, sadly, wasn't able to make it to the Halloween house.  I still regret it to this day, but now I will be able to experience the sequel!  I am so excited to see the creepy Haddonfield Memorial Hospital scenes recreated in this house, as well as many of the other thrilling    scenes.  If it involves Michael Myers it's bound to be great!

Are you going to experience this awesome Halloween Event?  What houses are you most excited about for HHN 26?  Let me know down in the comments.  See you in the next blog!
