This year is definitely stacking up to be a good one. The three houses I am looking forward to the most are Psychoscarepy, Scream House, and People under the Stairs. I really enjoyed the helmet with light technique used in Terror Mines last year, and I hope it transfers well over to People under the Stairs.
My only concern is with the acutal Scarezones. Although each sound good, my last encounter with definitive scarezones (HHN14) was somewhat a letdown on the scary factor. I guess I'm going against every HHN purist when I say that I prefer the way they did it at IOA, where every area of the park had an entire encompassing theme and scare factor, leaving nowhere (other than Seuss Landing) to hide. In HHN 14, I didn't have that "look over my shoulder at all times for someone running up to scare me" factor, since the vast majority of scareactors were ultra-concentrated in a direct area. Maybe one of you that went to pre-IOA HHN's can tell me if USF had scareactors out of the scarezones also. I just dont want to feel "safe" from Hollywood all the way around past San Francisco...
