Noah K's Review of Universal Halloween Horror Night in CA

 ....

I have gone before in the past and have really enjoyed it.  The last 2 years were good.  I have always said if you want quality go to Universal and if you want quantity go to Knotts.

 ....

Well Universal was not not nether good nor had any quality.

 ....

Here is the deal people, do not go.  Universal looked like they over sold the park by way too many tickets.  At least that is what it looked like to my GF and I, going on Sat Oct 3rd.  Way too many people, not enough monsters, and lines for the mazes that were anywhere from 65mins to 120mins.  Keep in mind that they only have 4 mazes and one of them is something they have there 365 days out of the year.  We didn’t even get to ride the terror tram or do the saw maze which is what I really wanted to do.

 ....

We were only able to do 3 out of the four mazes and their "Tribute" to Rocky Horror. We almost were only able to do 2 mazes but as we were leaving the sign for one of the mazes went from 45 min wait to 5 mins. Don’t know how that happened but just as we were leaving we said F’ it, lets try to leave on a positive note from here. It didn’t really help.

 ....

As for their Rocky “Tribute” show, they should have called it the Horrible Rocky Tribute Show.  It’s more like the PG, and not PG-13, version of a movie that was only 15mins long.  There was actual singing from the cast that was trying to do the parts.  Now mind you I am not really a fan of Rocky, yes I have gone several times back in the 80’s and early 90’s, and I will go to support my friends cast at the same theater that Fright Night is held at, but this was gaud awful.  It really should have been the ROCKY HORROR TRANSLVAYN VEGAS SPOOKTAULA.   I would have settled with them doing the Beetlejuice Rock n Roll Show.  BTW did I mention that this show was held in the T2:3D theater?

 ....

Oh and I guess there were people around me ready to kill me because I kept yelling out the audience participation parts, what little I could, from the movie.  Hello people, did you not hear the Magenta character even say something about audience participation?  OHHHHHHHH I didn’t realize you have never been to Rocky Horror, well you still haven’t after going to this.  Also their Frankenfurter was more like Herman Munster.  He sure sounded like him.

 ....

So in conclusion, DO NOT waste your money and save it.  If you really have to go to this thing, then go here to buy your tickets. http://www.halloweenhorrornights.com/deltaco and enter the code word: FEAR.  This will at least give you a ticket that will let in for another 9 more nights for the price of a 1-night admission.  This is the only reason I am not totally pissed.  I can at least go back and see the tram, saw maze and maybe even ride the Simpson ride that I have yet to go on.

 ....

Stay clear of Universal.

Noah, we were at Universal Studios yesterday, toying with the idea of doing the nighttime haunt.  After walking through the very un-scary, lame Chucky maze and reading your blog, glad we didn't.  Instead, we went to Citiwalk and watched Zombieland, which was great!  When we got out of the movie, Citiwalk was so crowded with people going to the nighttime haunt, we couldn't move.

Actually I went to Knotts last weekend and really enjoyed it.  Which is funny because I stopped going to knotts for the fact that it got really bad.  From what I was told about knotts is that they wiped the slate clean and started over with everything.  From cast to crew.

Dont rule out Knotts just yet.  I know I changed my mind.  I had a friend go to Knotts last night and they said that it was really crowed too from last weekend.  I am just hoping that it was just the mentality of everyone.  "Ohhh look its October, Halloween starts today.  Lets go somewhere."  I really want to check out the Silent Hill Maze in Brea.

Oh no. How the mighty have fallen. The best year I went was in 2001.That was the most fun I've ever had at any Halloween event. But from your review this is ending up more like Knotts Scary Farm and the very reason I hated going there (crowds).

yeah, i agree with you i wasn't inpressed, i went last year and the year before. Luckily i got to go for free for the employee preview i was gonna go last night for my sister but i didn't think it was worth the money. I agree with you on the rock horror picture show, it was over done and wasn't true to the movie. Plus, many of the people who went on employee preview night didn't know what Rocky Horror Picture show was and was horrified when they came out which made me laugh.
It makes me want to go to knotts now but i am not willing to drive out there is its gonna be crap.

oh man the Rocky Horror tribute show sounds like I would end up in tears watching it either from laughter or sadness from how bad it sounds.
