UPDATED HOUSE AND SCARE ZONE RANKINGS

10/21/2017

 
Picture
Greetings internet dwellers!

Well, it's hard to believe that we are rapidly approaching the end of the event. We have gone over the mid-way hump, and the end is coming fast. I did not do a detailed update last week. Like always though, I did update my rankings on Twitter, which you can always follow me there @HHNLegacy.

This, will be my last update on the blog before I do a final overview, sometime next week, or after. Because of that, I will keep this one short, sweet and simple.

So, let's get right to it.
Picture

HOUSES

9. HIVE

Picture
CURRENT RATING: 2.5/5
​I'm not sure this is going to get any better, as we approach the end of the event. There is no life in this house, it's too repetitive and worst of all, it has no scares. Unfortunately, even though I was pulling for Hive, I don't think it really has a chance to change my mind at this point.

8. AMERICAN HORROR STORY

Picture
CURRENT RATING: 3/5
The house has fallen into the trap, that I didn't like about the house last year. With its vastness as a house, if the scares aren't plentiful, the house is boring. It becomes too long and dull. There has been a noticeable drop in the intensity in here, and it is hurting the house. Still, it can be a solid run, if you hit the right times. 

7. THE HORRORS OF BLUMHOUSE (BLUMSIDIOUS)

Picture
CURRENT RATING: 3.5/5
A surprise for me. At this point, I don't even consider Sinister, or Purge, part of the house. The Insidious stuff though, is quite good. The intensity has been brought up in here, and that section specifically works quite well. 

6. THE SHINING

Picture
CURRENT RATING: 4/5
My issue with The Shining, continues to be in the lack of scares department. There just isn't enough of them for me to love this house. However, the execution here is quite good. I mean, it is literally walking into the film. 

5. ASH VS EVIL DEAD

Picture
CURRENT RATING: 4/5
Ash, took a tumble this week. Which makes me sad. The Ash is in the butt scene, has been either absent, or not happening the way it used to happen. One of the reasons I love this house so much, is the humor. When the humor is gone, it doesn't work quite well. Some of the scares have been off a bit too. Still, I quite adore this house. 

4. SAW: THE GAMES OF JIGSAW

Picture
CURRENT RATING: 4/5
Yes, Saw swapped places with Ash this week. Like Ash, for me, Saw is incredibly fun. It puts you into the films. It has the scares. It's not overly complicated either. The Guest Activated Triggers, add an extra layer to the fun as well. Every week, I am finding myself seeking out Saw, every visit. Kudos to the cast in here. They make this house work. 

3. DEAD WATERS

Picture
CURRENT RATING: 5/5
Depending on the run, my top 3 can interchange depending on my mood. Dead Waters, is consistently scary. The energy is always up, and the cast bring it every time. The glaring, consistent downfall though, is its length. The shortness makes me a Sad Panda.

2. THE FALLEN

Picture
CURRENT RATING: 5/5
The Fallen, took a tumble last week for me. However, they are back, baby! It's dirty. It's loud. It's scary. The cast in here, is so much fun. The design in here is fantastic. I love this house. So much.

1. SCARECROW: THE REAPING

Picture
CURRENT RATING: 5/5
Twice. So far. That is the number of times I have seen people fall in this house from being scared. On separate occasions. Scarecrow, is going to be one of those houses, people will compare future houses to. It's also a testament to what I say every year. It's not the most elaborate thing in the world. However, it's in the scares. And Scarecrow: The Reaping, has plenty of them.
Picture

SCARE ZONES

To start off, I'm not even going to rank Altars of Horror. I will never consider this a scare zone. Ever. 

5. FESTIVAL OF THE DEADLIEST

Picture
CURRENT RATING: 3.5/5
​Festival, is a lot of fun. I love the character interactions in here. It's a great zone for taking some photos too. People watching, is also a plus. 

4. INVASION!

Picture
CURRENT RATING: 4/5
Sure, it's not the scariest, or the biggest. However, it's a lot of fun. The aliens are awesome. I try to get over here, before the crowds start to take over the space. Still, it's a unique idea and zone for the event. Just a lot of fun.

3. SPRINGFIELD CLOWNS

CURRENT RATING: 4.5/5
Yes, the true 5th scare zone of the event this year. These guys and gals, are so much fun. They bring it every night. Talk about people watching too. Stick around and watch the clowns do their thing some time. It's a lot of fun to watch. 

2. TRICK 'R TREAT

Picture
CURRENT RATING: 5/5
​Such a pretty zone. The characters in here, are all fantastic. The Sam's are great fun. Just a well rounded zone. 

1. THE PURGE

Picture
CURRENT RATING: 5/5
Such great fun. Lots of energy. Lots of noise. Lots of interactions. There is a lot of stuff to just watch and take-in in The Purge. It's success as a scare zone, now twice, might bode well for its return in the future. Probably much to the dismay of some die-hard HHN fans. 
And that does it. I will return to the event this Wednesday for a brief time. It's seriously hard to believe, we are coming to an end soon this year. It's been a strong year. But all great things must come to an end eventually. 

Hasta La Bye-bye.
