For more HHN talk check out our new podcast Expedition Enthused. How many references to old Halloween Horror Nights did you hear in this episode? Here is a hint. Most houses are in the same location as the one i am talking about when i say them. If you hear a name twice it might mean that name has been used more than once! (Though only count Halloween once for the original old house) Please note filming inside the houses is not allowed. We were invited to be able to film inside the houses of HHN31.

@ Expedition Theme Park Regardless of what the event will be next year and beyond in the future, HHN will continue to influence me to write my own house and zone ideas. They’re something that you’re gonna love if you wanna see them.

So just to mention... Your videos are the videos I showed my wife before we were married, to get her prepared for HHN. She was from Iceland and was terrified of the theme parks, let alone going to the theme parks for Halloween. Last year... we got married during Halloween Horror Nights. We love your videos, and I don't think she would've been as interested in HHN if it weren't for the hype your videos helped generate with her.

In regards to the event feeling more family friendly, I didn’t know the HHN fandom felt that way about the event. I think it improves every year, better than being stuck in the Walking Dead no-icon era. This year was themed to classic Halloween all-around so ofc it feels a little kiddish, but it’s still got that disturbing twist like always, and it’s an awesome style.

I think there's been a noticeable shift so it's more accessible to younger folks -- not necessarily a bad thing. Back in the day, before the alcohol limit, people would get drunker and it aimed to be more adult. With the alcohol limit and a shift in theming, it's less shit-faced people and more teenagers, adults, older adults, etc. Probably helps pull in the $ too

It's beginning to feel a lot like spooky season!

Fiesta de Chupacabras was such a fun house! It seems huge, the line of sight thing you mentioned was so apparent last year with FdC and Dead Man's Pier: Winter's Wake. Genuinely, Winter's Wake was so breathtaking that it did even matter to me that it wasn't scary. I was so immersed that I got jump scared a few times while I was trying to take it all in. Classic Monsters was glorious, also my #1 house of the year. Dracula won my walk-through and at the end, he deeply bowed to me and presented the Wolfman's head. It felt weirdly personal, and a great way to end a very scary house.

Oh man I really liked the monsters unleashed house we had in Japan, Hunchback, wolfman, dracula, the phantom, and Frank. It was a fun time!

I can't wait to go back and have one of the absolute best night(S) of my year with my friends and family. It's the best experience in the parks at night.

I love all of the creativity put into this event, and I love to watch the videos on HHN; I can't go in person because of some health stuff that makes scaring me a very bad idea, so this is a fun way to live it vicariously :)

This was my first year at HHN. Did the RIP Tour and loved every minute in the park! The haunted atmosphere and themed foods were insane! Dead man's wake was a hauntingly beautiful house, and Nightmare Fuel was an incredible show!!

Thx for the video, and for the thx to scareactors. I was one of the Grabbers in Blumhouse. I get chills and weep some whenever I see new videos about us. That sounds silly, but, truly, once you’re in, you’re in a strange family of scary love. Can’t wait to see what this year holds.

You guys did great. Blumhouse hasn’t had the best reputation at the event and your team really changed that this year.

I am going for the first time on Labor Day weekend and I couldn't be more excited! I have lived vicariously though your videos in the meantime 😅

I'm so happy to finally have a house from Soundstage 24 be my favorite from the event! That location has been on fire the last few years, but Chupacabras and Dead Man's Pier were easily my favorite houses of the event. Blumhouse & Monsters were pretty close but I thoroughly enjoyed walking through SS24 this past year! Fiesta de Chupacabras was my favorite house of HHN 31! It gave me everything I wanted to see; A unique location with distinctive characters, an awesome creature design with some expert puppeteering, and a consistently fun and enjoyable run every single time. The beautiful bright colors bouncing off the set design for the villas, you really like you were in a remote Latin American village. The villagers' masks were so beautiful and creepy! And I got a huge scare from one of the Chupa puppets that literally almost smacked me in the face! Instantly took this house to #1 for me. Dead Man's Pier was a close second. And I mean CLOSE. It's this amazing hybrid of The Fog meets Edgar Allen Poe. The set design in that house is jaw-dropping. They made such good use of the tiny space they had in the house! All of the fisherman's designs were unique and eerie and the soundtrack, that violin sonata playing in the background as you moved through really set the mood. And of course, the facade of the sinking ship with the ghostly violinist playing just before you make your way on it is one of the most memorable scenes I've seen! It would've been my number 1 if it only slightly scarier but from time to time, that house will get you good!

I went to HHN for the first time last year. I’m a scaredy-cat so wasn’t sure if I’d like it so we only booked one night (something I have regretted since) and because we were jet lagged we didn’t spend as much time as I’d have liked as we only got through three houses, The weeknd, universal monsters and chupacabra, I loved them all but the feeling of waiting in that “nightclub like” queue for the weeknd (as it was the first house and not knowing what to expect) will always be something special, any time I hear any of The Weeknds songs I think of this great night. I was terrified going through the houses but enjoyed it all the same. We did get through all scare zones (multiple times for some) try some of the food and also watched both shows. We will be back one year and I plan on making the most of it next time! Thank you for this video Sam, brings back good memories for me!

I was so excited to see your thoughts on the most recent HHN! As always, a great video!

HHN 31 has been my fav. It had a great atmosphere and good eats. And I love nautical houses so “Ship of Screams” still lives with me from years past. And “Dead Man’s Pier” was so darn good in 2022. Can’t wait to see what’s in store for 2023.

These expeditions make me want to experience HHN even moar! It looks absolutely thrilling, and I give major props to universal for diving into a Halloween event soooo thoroughly because Imo Halloween and scary movies just don't get the recognition they strongly deserve!!!❤

I got to go for the first time last year! It was amazing! It all went by so fast that it's kind of a blur but I remember being surprised at how unique The Weeknd house was! I loved the lighting and sound! I've worked in the haunt business for years so it was nice to actually be surprised by the design of a house!

After my last trip back in 2019 it definitely felt good to finally attend the event. Really loved the retro halloween theme.

How can people complain that they made Halloween childish? Isn't the point that it's nostalgic for your childhood?

This will be my third time going to HHN this year.. and all I can say is I cannot wait I am super excited!

Always enjoy traveling through time here, thank you, Expedition!

The hit of Halloween 4 months early I didn't know I needed! I'd love to attend HHN, but the timing and pricing is tough for a workaday guy like me, so I live vicariously through your videos and reviews! I think the classic Halloween aesthetic was fun, and there were some solid themes, even if I'd jostle a few houses around in my personal rankings. Looking forward to the house reveals over the summer! (and crossing my fingers that Major Sweets gets a promotion to full haunted house this year)

Even so, they still had a LOT of fun and - budget permitting - we're hoping to go down togoether again this year. Their favorite house was Hellblock Horror actually. But our first house was Halloween. They realized it was their first house and they were absolutely targeted which actually made sure we got about every scare. It was great!

I went with my son in October. Excited to see this video! We had a great time. Also seaworld did 'howl o scream'that could be a good video.

Man, I can’t wait for HHN this year

HHN 2022 was my first year going. I only managed 4 houses and a show before my feet gave in. It was my 5th day in a row going to theme parks so my feet were very pained. I'm hoping to go again this year and get tickets for two days rather than one. My favorite house was Dead Man's Pier just because the theme was so good.

I went there in 1992 and it was incredible! Can't wait to visit again with more scare!

Another great video👌

And now that I entered my 32...let me comment great video as always. I never got a good solid run thru Classic monsters, timing was off for me every time unfortunately! And I got to say you mentioned Scarecrow, that's like my all time fave original of my years of going!

Hi Sam. I am more of a Mickey Not so Scary person. I like watching Expedition Enthused reactions to HHN. Keep the Scares coming and don't get Fooled on April 1st.

This coincides with the opening of Arie Force One at Fun Spot America Atlanta!

Will you ever do another full video on the history of howl o scream? I coulda sworn you did one before, but it seems to have been missing for a while. It was super informative tho and had references and images to things long past that I can't find elsewhere online

Think I got 29? But there were repeats and casual mentions. You’re tricky aren’t you? Love expedition haunt and need so much more of it!!!

I was SO proud to have worked at Dead Man's Pier, its the best looking house I've ever seen. But as gorgeous as the set was, I do have to admit Universal Monsters was my favorite house, and it definitely deserved house of the year. A lot more scary than ours was. Those actors were on their A-game and the scares were so fun and creative.

Absolutely loved the weeknd house

'I'll see you in the fog' is Knotts' tagline, though, not Universal! That said though, I think my favorite house from last year was Fiesta de Chupacabra. Just the setting, the solid story, the costumes... and I just like chupacabras. 10/10. I doubt the Chucky house will be scary at all, and more comedic, that's why they're not afraid to talk about it this early. I wonder if the queue will use the talking Chucky interactivity from the scarezone two years ago.

My favourite houses have to be Universal Monsters Collide and The Weeknd.. I absolutely loved the story of Collide as Universal Monsters is always my favourite house I want to experience, specially this years with UM:Paris, and The Weeknd made me jump while also want me to dance throughout, loves the story as well

I think I counted 16 references to previous HHN houses😮 Love seeing HHN outside of haunt season! It makes me even more excited for this year’s event!🎃see you in the fog!👻

I knew this was Sam when I saw Super Enthused haha thats cool that you both have your own KZread channel

I did a whole day at the park and 9 of the houses and all scared zones. I personally never really liked scare zones I mean it's a thing that just there to keep you entertained while walking to the other houses but all together not bad on each of them. I unfortunately didn't really have time for the blum house freaky and black phone but I personally only really liked four of them 4. bugs because I thought as far as a quick house was it was decent but not really scary, 3 weekends house because it was a mix of all of them kind of had some unique scares like a lady dressed in the same wall paper to scare you, two was Halloween because I never had a chance to do it before I know it was a remake house, one was the grandaddy of them all and I thought it was going to be bad because I couldn't see how they could make a dock with people in yellow jackets scary lol but it was the most in depth transporting and top budget house I have ever been in with snow wind smell everything taking you there and that was the reason Dead Man's Pier was the best. That being said It was my first Halloween horror night's since both I have moved to Florida and been to and was upset with how same most of the houses were like prison and descendents and destruction was very much the same. I also went to bush gardens horror houses and they were cheaper tickets and it was better quality in all houses and i liked the feinds show when I went and scare zones were cooler and wide range.

I won't be able to go to horror night this year, but I been getting ads for the new houses. The ads are always pretty good, but I'm curious how these new houses are. Can't wait to hear what you think about them. :3

This event was amazing last year . Did it 7 times

Ok I'm at 32 after listening once and supposed to be working too!! Lol... may come back and revise!! 😂

I LOVED Bugs. I would’ve done it more than once if it weren’t so busy

Last year was my first time at the event, and I had a mostly enjoyable time. There were only a few little things that dampened the experience. The biggest being that I had my "Oh, This Isn't Fun Anymore" moment during Descendants of Destruction. It was a good house, but I had trouble navigating it- to the point that i almost walked into an actor and both me & my mom walked into the same wall- and I just couldn't do another house afterwards. A shame too, as I really enjoyed Monsters (got the triple scare, it was awesome) and was really looking forward to Dead Man's Pier, but it just wasn't meant to be. Another thing was the food. We got the Twisted Tater, which was fine, but the maggot dog was cold- like the cheese inside barely melted, cold. yet another shame, but as disappointed as i was, i wasn't mad or anything, it happens. Seems like we just had a dud night. However, the scare zones? On point, had a blast. And the rides were great to do at night, especially with the lower wait times. Definitely want to do it again, but perhaps with the behind the screams tour to get a good feel of the house layout first.

You had me at "spooky"

It’s so interesting to me that so many people liked the chupacabra house cuz me and all my friends thought it was very lame 😅 we thought the puppets were very dumb looking, the house wasn’t scary and we were just waiting till it was over 😂 plus side tho, we danced a lot in this house as there was some great salsa music playing 🎉
