I was one of the Rat Ladies 94-96. I still have my 96 shirt, plus a shirt one of the scareactors had produced which was comprised from artwork made by various Dungeon scareactors. 94 also had Roach Man and Snake Man/Lady. Snake Man/Lady's setup was also in the Dungeon of Terror. I don't remember which house Roach Man was in, but they had giant hissing Madagascar roaches for his set, as well as props that would make him appear to be eating them. I think that was the only year that Roach Man was done, but I don't know for sure. I had a blast playing the Rat Lady, but sadly, never got to be mobile. That would have been so much fun!
Did you ever take them home...? =)
@@BuckarooBanzai84 I wasn't able to take any personally, but we did find homes for the rats by the end of the season.
During my final year, one rat in particular would climb up onto my shoulder and nuzzle into my neck while I'm trying to look scary. There's more than one Rat Lady, and this rat did this to all of us. We ended up putting her into early retirement in order to find a home worthy of such a sweetie.
@@lucibelle LOL, and AWW! That's nice to hear, thank you for sharing! I used to cuddle with my rat all the time. I hope you weren't too claustrophobic! =)
@@lucibelle that's such a sweet story! I do wonder tho, were there ever any animal cruelty claims made?
@@lucibelle Aww! When I was in Girl Scouts our Troop Leader's daughter had a pet rat. We loved playing with it. I think rats are underrated in the cute department. Well tame rates anyways.
As an orlando native, HHN has become a tradition/coming of age. Growing up, we were always introgued by it and the few who went in 5th grade were the coolest most fearless kids. Middle school, it was still a kind of rite of passage, the shirts being worn to school the whole time it was open to prove you had been. High school, it was almost mandatory by all groups of friends to go, afraid or not, but larger,groups (both boys and girls) made it waayy more fun. Now im in my senior year of college and i still go with select friends and cousins every year to see what comes up next. Highly recommend to everyone
Steven Spielberg hated it when he found out there where scare actors in the ET ride that year to the point that it never happened again because he threatened to never work with universal studios again. The same threat is why the two remaining ET rides will never close. He was also not happy they closed the Hollywood version.
At least as long as Steven Spielberg is alive, the ET ride is here to stay
That commercial at 12:40 was something I absolutely haaaaated as a kid. I’d have nightmares over it. Seeing it again as an adult though is absolutely hysterical
knott’s scary farm is a bit of an unfortunate name for a Halloween event when said aloud lmao
It’s a not scary farm lol
The event is called “Halloween Haunt” but for some reason was dropped over the years. My guess is Cedar Fair couldn’t trademark it or something
Chilling with a bunch of rats in a box for 6 hours sounds like my new dream job
Sign me up!
I'd just take a nap with them.
My fiancé and I are getting married in October, and we're bringing everyone in the wedding party to HHN 2 days before the wedding. Can't wait!!
That’s amazing! I hope you have a great time
Dang that’s expensive lol
I’ve only been to “modern” Halloween Horror Nights but my favorite house is probably Jack’s 25 year anniversary house because I personally enjoyed a nod to the classic monsters that inspired this event in the first place.
I loved that house too
Getting to work at horror nights was so much fun. I was a photographer and got to roam the park during the event and watching people scream and cry and eating in the employees diner with the actors in costume was an experience
I miss how intricate the Halloween horror nights website used to be. It used to be a part of the experience and it made me wanna go that much more. I live in Los Angeles so I've only been able to attend the Hollywood event (which is great by the way) but I have always wanted to go to the Florida event since I was in high school. Also one house I wish I could have gone to was the one that was themed as if all the marvel villains (when universal still owned the rights to marvel) had escaped and tortured/killed all of the superheroes. Such a cool concept that I would have loved to have seen executed.
YESSS
Year One: Demands allegiance to Fright Nights
Year Two: Change the name XD
Love the video. This event always freaked me out though. I’m a “Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween” fan 😁.
Haha I enjoy both!
I don't go because I have really bad anxiety. I always get so jealous when I see trailers for houses I want to look at but can't physically go. The biggest one being The Bride of Frankenstein lives. I've been a fan of the old Black and White Monster movies.
So this is why you're releasing the episodes a day early, capitalising on Friday the 13th (speaking of which, on the next expedition haunts episode that's on a Friday the 13th, you should do the involvement of the Friday the 13th movies in HHN)
Haha you got it ;) back to normal next week! I have some fun Horror Nights stuff planned
Expedition Theme Park mabye, next time on expedition haunts, you could make it a collab with a HHN youtuber (e.g zombie Chris or awkward arsic)
HHN is an amazing event, they don’t always get it right, but when they do it’s always something special
I became OBSESSED with HHN in 2009, and I'm glad to this getting covered! It's nice to see the history told in such a gorgeously done video. Can't wait to see JACK!
Great work. Thank you. The footage you have compiled is fantastic.
Thank you so much and no thank you.
You have no idea how many times I have viewed this series of videos (honestly neither do I) I have a serious obsession with the event and never stop thinking about it, these vids - along with the unofficial guide book - curb my never ending craving pretty well but my hype is so ridiculously high for 30 years of fear this year!!!!!!!!
Sam, Amazing video. I can't wait for HHN this year we have been going for the past 4 years. My favorite house has been the first American horror story house they did 2 years ago but I am sure there has been better ones that I did not get to experience.
That was a great house. I can’t wait for this year also! Thank you.
I watch your videos whilst doing cardio at the gym and I have to say, they are awesome . And English person with so much knowledge is awesome !! Keep them up.
Thank you so much! Really glad you enjoy them.
Giggles and Gore was my favorite. I'm a huge fan of creepy clowns! I had a frequent fear pass that year and i must have been through that house like 20 times.
Honorable mention: Dead Waters, American Werewolf in London, Hive, and Dollhouse of the Damned
Im so fucking deep in a depression spiral. This video is like...just what I fucking needed. Halloween Horror Nights is my main coping mechanism. Thank you soooo much
Oh my pleasure! Not long to go now!
I love that you’re going year by year with a lot of details, great video!
Thanks!
Again a great video full of detail and information I love Halloween horror nights and it is awesome to go to.. jack the clown is scary as hell when he is there. I went when they had jack the clown, saw, Jason, and Freddy all at the same time.. now with the walking dead it just continues to grow..I highly recommend this event to anyone who loves Halloween. I can’t wait to see part 2 I am sure you will knock it out of the park...
As a scare actor for 4 years now, I really love this! I can't wait to see information on the 2012 onward years with the buying of Comcast and such! Keep up the amazing work! Hope to scare you this year!;)
Thank you so much! I will be there quite a few nights this year so looking forward to being scared. See you in the park.
Do you get upset when someone you try to scare isnt affected? I went one year and the actors seemed kind pissed that I wasnt scared.
Love this as always Shadybrooke was my fav house. Theme easy to follow and looked and smelled the part! When is Part 2 coming out?
Next month i am aiming for! It is likely to be three parts. Leading upto the start of this years event.
Sadly, i'll never experience HHN because i'm a chicken 🐔
You should just do it! It’s not so bad once you are there
same _- i love the whole thing but i cant do it unless i have peeps going with me
i am 2. i went for the first time last year n i can say that its the most fun you will ever have. you will become addicted. the amount of fun outweighs the scariness of it. but dont get me wrong. its pretty terrifying.
I am also but it was so much fun!!!! Not the same as watching scary movies, which i hate
Great video I can't wait for the next one.
Can you please cover something Jurassic Park for its namesakes 25th anniversary?
Awesome video! Very informative.I went to my first HHN on 2012 and have gone every year since.
Yes! I was hoping you'd cover more Halloween attractions! Maybe when we get a little closer to the fall season, you could cover some of the most famous (or infamous) amateur/professional haunts? A good example would be McKamey Manor, that place is horrid!
McKamey Manor was in my town last year and my friends are horror fanatics so I got word of what all they do, it shouldn't even be legal.
Horrid good or horrid bad?
@@TherealRNOwwfpooh I wasn't aware that there was a "horrid good"... but in this case, horrid terrible. You basically pay them to torture you.
@@nickythehickey I meant "horrid good" as in, scary but not traumatizing.
@@TherealRNOwwfpooh i suppose that makes sense. I'm tired, so I didn't think about it. But no, there is evidence of people leaving McKamey Manor with bruises and other signs of physical harm, and mental trauma bordering on possible PTSD levels of severity. There's a reason you have to have a perfectly clean bill of health from both a gp and psychologist, as well as be at least 18, sign a waiver (which is apparently the only thing that keeps this thing legal), and pass a Skype interview and on-sight drug/BAC test with the owner before you're allowed in. The house is run as part of the owner's animal rescue charity, so I suppose it has a good intention at least? Still don't think it should be as intense as it is, though.
Great video! This brought back so many memories for me. I was lucky enough to have attended years 1-17. I was only 10 years old when my mom brought me to Fright Nights.
I have a shirt for every year you talked about, even tje '86 HHN event in Cali
That’s amazing I lost my shirt for my fav year so I am keeping an eye out for a replacement.
Expedition Theme Park What yr was that? And i do have a Fright night shirt.. Then again i have over 200 HHN shirts
Oh that’s impressive! 2006 was my fav year.
Expedition Theme Park I have all the shirts for that yr.. Even a managers button down
It'd be neat to see a video with all the different shirts from every year
I never knew this was such a big thing! Thanks for sharing its awesome history. Nothing like Halloween in July! XD
This is awesome! Amazing job. I can't wait for part two! Looking forward to a little more info on the HHN Icons! Got to love Jack!
Thank you!
Bill and Ted's Halloween adventure was always the highlight of the evening for me.
I got to work in the walking dead Terminus house. It was such a fun time. It was the most scary to walk through the house with absolutely no one in it.
So cool! Would love to of seen that
This particular year HHN 30 had my favorite house, HHN Icons Captured. My first year had bee HHN 26 and I fell in love with Chance while also hearing snippets about Jack from those who went to HHN 25. By HHN 30 I had learned about all the Icons and was super excited to finally see them featured for myself. I must have gone through that house 10 times over the two months and would gladly have gone 20 times more.
I'm super excited to see the continuation of this!
The next part will be a good one :D
So neat to learn about the beginnings of HHN
Loved the video, love HHN! Have made it for the last 5 years and already have tickets for this year.
Will see you there!
Oct 20-28 can't get here soon enough lol
Unfortunately ive never been ,but the one that i wanted to so badly go to was at Universal Hollywood and it was the Rob Zombie Great American Nightmare House .i heard it was epic
Educating myself for my first visit EVER this year!!
Chucky: friends till the end... great house. Also Winters Night
Yesss!! Thank you so much. As always keep up the amazing work. I'm also going to buy a shirt tonight. Thanks for putting those out!
Superb series looking forward to the next part. It’s strange the first real hhn memory I have was seeing the little demon biting the eye lid in an advert. While we didn’t go that year I never realised how early this was in the run and how long my obsession has been lol
I really want to go to Halloween Horror Nights one day but I’m all the way in the UK lol
Your videos on HHN is how I found out it existed and I love it! I’m excited to see what’s in store for 2021 if it’s not cancelled due to the current world situation.
First time I went to this was for HHN III. Miss the Psychopath Maze.
ah yes, it's never too early in the year to start watching this
If Crypt-Keeper doesn’t make a cameo in Icons Captured this year I’m going to
be fine with that, I’m still ridiculously hyped.
But it would be cool.
Isn’t the character actor for jack often the same actor for beetlejuice? At least one of the guys was I think.
Yeah and he used to play Ted also in bill and ted show! His name is James Keaton
@@ExpeditionThemePark Related to IRL film Betelguese Michael Keaton, maybe?
@@TherealRNOwwfpooh No
@@cannibalisticrequiem Just sayin' it'd be awesome if James KEATON (Jack the Clown) *were* related to Michael KEATON (Betelgeuse/Beetlejuice).
$12.95 FOR A TICKET?! GEEZ my ma and I are going there for my birthday and even though we're Florida residents it was still over $100 for the ticket and fast pass. Man, I wish things were still cheap lmao.
Well don't get the fast pass then.
Alex Z it's cause of inflation so more or less same price
derek Wagner .. it’s actually a necessity if you want ya value from your admission purchase.. admission no longer gets you into all the houses on a busy night.. the place is all about gouging for line cutting.. they actually have fast pass theirs going all the way up to guided fast passes which are faster than fast passes lol
Cgbrian I went on one of the busiest nights last year and got through 14 houses without express. It’s very doable if you know what you’re doing and use your time wisely.
Loved this! You should do more haunts leading up to Halloween
I will!
Hhn has a special place in my heart ♥️
Ive never been to Orlando, only hollywood but the Black Sabbath maze Hollywood did was insane!
The Back to the Future Ride! YOu know i'm crying now!!
I'm so sad I made a typo! You don't understand!
damn i want to see part 2 already!!!
Good things come to those who wait! I think that is what they say anyway haha
Same!!!!
Ive rewatched this video like 4 times. Im really obsessed
Back at it again, bestie
Deja vu
Can't wait for part 2!!!!!
I want to go to HHN so badly, but I live in PA, and my parents only schedule our Florida vacations for the summer. R.I.P. me.
Great video! Love the history of the event. Favorite house so far based on scenic alone is the TCM2 house in Orlando.
Binging all these (again) to get ready for HHN 29!!
Great Video! lots of information I have to study for at work, so this helps a lot!
I really do like HHN. Halloween Horror Nights was a great event. Now it's not as creative, and I wish it had more Universal Movies like the older HHNs.
The event has had to change due to the popularity but the house detail is still anazing
Expedition Theme Park
I'm just getting tired of the overuse of IP houses. Some of the IP houses are just reused for multiple years and it felt a touch cheap. I still absolutely love HHN
I've migrated to Howl o Scream. I feel it's a better bang for your buck
Sam when you ended the video with saying the survey ordeal and Jack the clown, that was depressing 🤣🤣🤣.
My first HHN was 2004. That event was spread between both parks and included the awesome Festival of the Dead Parade. My favorite house was the original Body Collectors from 2005. I miss how each house used to have a movie projected outside for the queue.
Yeah I do also miss the queue like movies
Native from Orlando. Been going since 04 when it was really well. Unfortunately while it has gotten bigger in name I enjoyed it more when there were more original IPs. They also have the task of navigating in this PC culture where everyone is very offended as they had to change the theming multiple times on multiple years. While some we're respectfully warranted I feel it has been watered down a bit but love the nostalgia it brought when I was younger. Great work on the vid and keep it up !
They have a lot of originals this year it seems.
@@ekl7804 it's a step in the right direction. I think they started to hear the rumblings of the faithfuls. I like the walking dead and American horror story but I don't want to see it every single year as an attraction
I love you for doing this. This is my favorite holiday event.
Me too
another great episode this is my smoke show i spark up a bowl or a joint and i let your videos play good stuff man
Haha i feel honored!
Going the first week of the event this year and I'm so excited!
I will see you there!
Bit cute rats! No longer a noob!
my favorite video so far! the scariest house for me was definitely Alien vs Predator. after that house, i was hooked. can't wait for part 2!
Alien vs pred was a great house I love the crouching section
Expedition Theme Park that was the best!
THAT CROUCHING SECTION THO 😂
10:13 I absolutely love Tales From the Crypt! Unfortunately the first year he was host I was 2 months old.
Just exactly what I like to hear about!!! HHN...my MOST favorite park event ever!!! Excited to get there this year!! Great history video! I've only been going since 24 but I would have to think on fave maze. I prefer originals, so I know my fave for each year. But I guess I would answer Jack's mayhem in 25 mainly cause it gave me lil piece of several of the old mazes I wished I would have seen! ~Dawn
It’s my fav event also and 25 was such a good year!
Can you do the history of Howl-O-Scream Busch Gardens Williamsburg please? Virginia hardly gets recognized for their parks.
I would like to but it’s more likely I will do Tampa first
Beautifully executed... However, if you're going to tell ancient stories, such as the origin of the first Halloween event at USF, you probably should consult one of the (ancient) people who REALLY DID create the first event. But still... Beautifully executed.
There is so much history in all this. Really great job man.
im a west coast guy so knotts will always be my favorite halloween event, but i have always wanted to visit orlandos horror nights which i know is way better than hollywoods
I would love to go to knotts but not had the chance yet
Fantastic video brother !!!! I love the diversity of he content you review I absolutely love your content only wish you could upload daily lol
Haha if there was 3 of me it might be possible! :D Thank you!
I am seriously considering going to Halloween horror nights just to say I experienced it,
You should
It’s AMAZING! You need to go I go every single year at least like 8 times
thanks for this content!

Been coming since 24. Favorite IP house Halloween, favorite original Giggles and Gore.
I loved both Halloween 1 and 2!
I love this and I'm stoked for this year for hhn
Me too!
Bill and Ted might becoming back to HHN this year because they will be releasing a new Bill and Ted movie this year.
Congrats on reaching 20k subs
Thank you Christopher
Another fantastic video! I went last year for the first time and it was amazing. My favorite house is the American Horror Story one. I can’t wait to go again this year, they made a new house for Stranger Things
Last year was great! I can’t wait for this year also. Thank you
I wonder if they'll update the _Stranger Things_ house with each season (much like they updated it for season 2 involving the classroom scene of Jane "Eleven" Ives-Hopper [Millie Bobbi Brown] defeating the Demogorgon, since the original iteration focused strictly on season 1). Perhaps, including the Starcast mall from season 3 for the current iteration?
I went through the terror tram and it terrified me. Though it was worth a scare. They are pretty good at it
Tim Burton made halloween icons for both halloween events. Disney got nightmare before christmas and universal got beetlejuice
Great video!
Thank you!
Expedition Theme Park you’re welcome 😉 can’t wait to see the next part
I think the original entrance arch looked better than the current one. They should change it back for those nostalgia feels!
The guy at 10:56 tried to punch the actor 😂
Who doesn’t like a good scare??
*Readers/Viewers/Listeners Beware, You're In For a Scare!* ~ R.L. Stine _Goosebumps_ motto
I've been dreaming of going to HHN since I was 16, hopefully I'll be going to HHN 2020
To be honest, I prefer the innocent yet creative and fun time of the halloween party at Disney where you get to dress up and go trick or treating even as an adult over the halloween events at other theme parks where they TRY to be scary.
My favorite house from hhn would have to silent Hill because I'm such a fan to the series and me hearing it's being a haunted house at hhn blew my mind and when I went to the house it felt like I was in the game.
I was abit disappointed by the house as a fan of the game. Still cool it happened though!
Great video, very informative.
This is a great series and story to tell. I have been to 7 HHN and this is the 6th year straight. My favorite house was Michael Myers Halloween house as it had actors acting out the original Halloween movie. Thanks for making this series.
My first visit to Halloween horror nights was back in 2015 with the caretaker then I went to see the next year the filmmaker 2016 I love Halloween as it is the day after my bday on the 30th I'm living in Ohio now so I'm now working at a haunted house attraction that I love the feel of scaring ppl . Thank you for making this video of the early years will defiantly have to go back to see how things have evolved one day
Oh amazing. I think I will be in Ohio this Halloween season!
Expedition Theme Park the haunt attraction is the scaretoruim they are now owned by the 13th floor company it's located in Columbus Ohio
You gotta do a 2nd part for hhn
