Official 2022 HHN 31 - Horror is Universal

Thoughts? Is opening weekend an insane time to go? Are RIP tours way more expensive then?
I’d pick the 2nd weekend. No first hand experience going that early. However, many have shared that it’s prudent to skip the opening weekend to give the scareactors time to settle in a bit.

can say that last year (via a longer trip than normal for us that started the last week of September) was initially rather disappointed with the acting.

discussed it with GS when there for another matter. They revealed a large number of scareactors had quit. Apparently, not being able to deal with the required masks. know we did see both the A & B teams over a week or so & things did pick up quickly once all settled into their roles
 
Historically does anyone know if any of the free AP dates are in September? My AP expires 9/26 and I’m thinking of trying to go one more time.

Believe that info was posted here in response to same Q earlier, scroll back or use search engine.
 
Winnie the Pooh rights lapsed into public domain a few months ago. Already a horror movie in production, Winnie the Pooh, Blood & Honey (described as Pooh & Piglet going feral:crazy:.

would be quite ‘the jab’ at the competition if U used the characters in some format This year, even if in a scare zone.

If I buy tickets online, 5 people, what is the best option for ticket delivery? print at home, online/email or will call? Can I pick these tickets up at Cabana Bay the day we arrive? will have to get my park tickets there anyway

That would be hilarious!!!!
 
Newest spec maps. also included Hollywood, as often, houses are duplicated in both parks.

Thank you Keisha for the updated newest spec maps.

If the map turns out accurate for HHN at Universal Orlando It will be interesting to see how they transition Dead Mans Wharf to a House. It was a scare zone in 2016.

In 2017 there was a Horrors of Blumhouse and Ash vs Evil Dead.

Also had a Horrors of Blumhouse and Seeds of Extinction in 2018.
There was a Halloween House 2016, 2018 and I’am sure some before that. Micheal Myers has endless potential if the house is good.

Seeds of Extinction was one of my least favorite houses in 2018. So it will be interesting to see what they do with the second installment of this house if the maps correct.

I hope they put the Pumkins back up in the trees in the Scare Zone that Trick or Treat was in located in 2017. It was beautiful to see all the Pumpkins lit up at night.

A little musing.

Ok knew the name was familiar, couldn’t place it.

You mention some great houses

I think it’s time for another military type house, along lines of nightengales blood prey or Havoc.

Had never heard legend of la Llrona, they did it very well. Found it curious to be listed spec for Hollywood along with killer Klowns. Probably cost efficient if they still
Have the props & plans from USO lol

Beautiful. Could swear they were up there for a few years.
Who doesn’t love a WEREWOLF
A 🧛‍♂️

Your right the Pumpkins were back up in the trees for Twisted Tradition Scare Zone in the same place the following year HHN 28.
LOL

I would really like to see another House along the lines of ”THE FALLEN” That was one of my favorite houses of all time. The technical aspects of that house have not been topped yet for me. It was awesome.

Totally agree with you on that house!

Wasn’t it the Fallen house I did with you Robbie?

By far it was a highlight for me
 
We had a slight hiccup in our opening weekend plans but are still doing RIP tour on Saturday 3rd September and are now booked in for 3 house Unmasking the Horror tour at 12.15 on Sunday 4th, the tour will probably finish at about 2.45

If a frequent night pass is released for that weekend we would like to do HHN on Sunday 4th as well so if this happens just wondered what the advice is for getting a break/food and drink between the tour ending and the queuing up for stay and scream areas. Have never been to event before so have no clue what to do, currently we could move the 3 house tour earlier or later if it was better plan

Yes, it was the Fallen House Mac. That was HHN 27. That house was like literally walking into Hell with all the fire and brimstone. I remember that house had the 3 technical aspects I had never seen used before. There were Fallen Angels that flew at you in one area. Then there was a Fallen Angel flying over in one of the areas. Then at the end of the house it looked like a Fallen Angel was going to fall on you.

Those Scare Actors that were connected to the bungee cords and the overhead flight apparatus were brave and awesome.

I remember we did that house a number of times.

HHN 27 was a good year for Houses. The Shinning, Scare Crow The Reaping, Dead Waters, American Horror Stories (Asylum, Coven and Roanoke).

That also was the first year they had the Pumpkin’s in the trees in the Trick or Treat Scare Zone. It was beautiful.

My sister, Lynne from the Sans and I were all in your Private RIP Tour that year.

It was a really good HHN that year.

I will try to be the voice of reason here a bit.

You are going to be doing a lot of walking on the RIP Tour The night before. You have probably read that the Haunted Houses are located in the back area lots. Depending on what time you booked your RIP Tour you might not be getting in till well after midnight if you booked one of the later tours.

That being said here goes.

If you have the time I would book your two tours with a break day in between. Your legs will be spent from the RIP Tour the night before. I have seen what appear to be very fit folks crying the blues saying their legs and feet hurt after a night of HHN is over.


If not then you have two option:

First option: Keep your afternoon 3 House UMH Tour. This will give you time to rest up a little in the morning and recover from the night before. You can get a late lunch after the Tour is over at any of the restaurants in the Studios. Find a place to sit and rest your legs. As long as you have your HHN ticket or Pass if its offered with you can stay in the park once it closes to everyone else not attending the event and head to the Stay & Scream area of your choice located near the houses you want to see the most.

There will be food booths, beer and specialty cocktails created for the event on offer during HHN.


Second option: Change your Unmasking the Horror Tour to a morning time. After the tour go out to Citywalk for lunch. Then back to your Resort for a little rest or pool time. Be back in the park before it closes and head to Stay & Scream areas.

Those in the Stay & Scream Areas will be released to the houses before those who are at the gates trying to get scanned in when the event starts in the evening.

Warning……you will be addicted after your first HHN and will have to return every year after.

No matter what you choose have a wonderful time at HHN.

Hey guys! Sorry for my newbness, but are these spec maps usually pretty accurate, it seems like everyone is acting like that is pretty much what it's going to be, like it's leaked from universal internally. ??
 
Thanks so much for such a detailed reply! We will be there for HHN on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th September, checking into our hotel on 2nd so didnt book for that night in case that is the only one we can attend so our only options at the moment for our party size are do 1.00 Unmasking the horror on the 3rd which I think is too much or go for 10am on the 4th which I think is too early after the previous night. I feel we are best sticking wiht the RIP tour on the Saturday night so that if we go by ourselves on the Sunday night we will have some idea what we want to do and it may also be quieter

our airline keep messing with their Orlando flights so hoping that doesnt end up changing our travel dates at this late stage...

I’m thinking one we took was closer to 3 hours YMMV

Look forward to seeing how they work those in every year along with the ‘funny’ house. The one that is a beautiful Set piece homage (Beetlejuice & ghostbusters)

Seems as tho there’s been some interesting foliage sorts last few years too that have been interesting

Excellent advice
our airline keep messing with their Orlando flights
I feel you there, had 2changes for fall trip
This week.

RIP Tour on Saturday night a good idea as so crowded, even tho pricier. Will give u a good idea which houses will be a priority on Sunday.
 
i like to do UMH day tour before i do the hhn
with the lights off in the houses

that way i will know what and where to look when i’m the house in the evening

the tour guide explains background of the house
