Saturday night we went to howl-O-Scream's ' Freaky Preview ' night at Busch Gardens Tampa. It was quite an entertaining evening, but I can't remember how much walking there was between different areas inside the Park. As I said, we do not do it for each House, but we did it for them, here are my initial thoughts:
My X: Revenge Rocks-In this House, you go on the back of a mine X concert and you pretty much feels as though you are in a backstage area.I got to see the first half on Thursday last week with the ScreamCam associated. Here is the video:
I could hardly see any day, as it had been a bright Florida afternoon and my eyes were still not adapted to the darkness.Now that I have seen the House I noticed again some more details, as I had seen only on the video earlier. House was generally not so frightening, as it was hyped to be. It had a few great leap spots, but they are overshadowed by how some of you were there.
Delta Epsilon Delta: Extreme Rush (d. e. d. is)-this is an implementation-up sorority House.Let's just say, I don't want anything to do with any of these crazy sisters. As you walk in sorority House can you hear Sylvie in my X sing a song, specially written for d.e.d. sisters. This House for me was a bit disappointing, and there was no jump spots, caught me by surprise. Most of the time, I could tell you exactly where they would try to get me.
Caught in the walls: Ghostchasers-this House was slightly better than the first two. This House is configured as a paranormal research team will try to detect houses history and what is caught in the walls. Walking through the House is almost as if you were walking inside the walls, with electrical wires and insulation everywhere. House for a few good scares.
Death Row Vengeance: no Escape-this one had me quite interested from the minute I saw well done the facade of the building; It is set up as a penitentiary where inmates are scheduled for execution. Paid time attention on Scriptures doors-one of them really had me worried.One of the doors to Read "Childcare". Why in the world would you have a Babysitting inside a prison system with its inhabitants will be on death row? This was one of the better constructed houses at howl-O-scream and had some really nicely done scares inside.
Deconstruction: The Doctor is not to control the wild Dr. Edger VonAngst is a RECONSTRUCTIVE surgeon who has gone insane and puts human parts back together with mechanical pieces. It is quite interesting House. Deconstruction has a really well done disorienting effect at the end of this makes for some really work scares. They definitely made me a few times on this site.
Nightshade Toy Factory: Son of Nightshade-this after day abandoned-leader Toy Factory looks a whole lot less abandoned than you think at night. Of the normal haunted houses that are included in the admission, this is definitely my personal favourite.It is a really fun house through has a couple of big scares, including the largest fright night for me.
I need to mention that I saw a few scare players inside the houses with the most pathetic looking wounds makeup I had ever seen. Wounds actually passed on, and you can tell they were the same ready made wounds, which you can buy for Halloween.I had expected makeup artists to make their own wounds as they are not so difficult to achieve as they seem to be.
Overall, it was the details of the houses were OK. It is certainly not as detailed as the rival event at Universal Orlando, but it did make and worked for the event. Something that bug me is that in each House you will see references to this year's theme band, my X, even when it seemed to be totally out of context.Too much self branding in the houses for my taste.
As for scarezones, I have to say that I really just like one of them: "Spiders and Snakes".The advantage of this scarezone has over the other is its dark location near Garden Theater.It had a scare techniques I trøde was just landscape studies and I had not seen used in this way before.The other was just not really scarezones so good; most of them were plagued by the bright lights or scareactors are also obvious.
We managed to catch a song by Peter performs live with her band My X.
We have also been able to catch the show "Blood relations". "Blood relations "is howl-O-the screams humor show to make fun of events that have happened in the last year in a musical way. It is a fun show to see.and I recommend doing the fright feats, which includes a dinner buffet, "Blood relations" Show, early access to the houses and the front of the line House of access until 8: 30 for only $ 24.95.
Howl-O-Scream includes also an exclusive 21 + Dance Club including appearances at howl-O-the screams celebrities like Peter.
We were unfortunately unable to see the ' Taste of blood ' or they raved about ' Stand-alone ' House. All I hear is good on stand-alone. hearing many people say it's the best haunted house ever made. We will be back on Friday evening to see these houses and bring back a full report of ' Alone. '
