My Date With Pyramid Head

I would enjoy it about as much, if only it was 6-7000 kilometers closer.

Thanks for sharing. Felt a little like being there.

Uh, here in Charlotte, NC a theme park called Carowinds does the same thing every year for the whole month of october and goes be "scare-owinds". They don't get the brand names obviously but it's still amazingly well funded and produced. It's great every year.

Pretty sure a major motion picture studio doesn't design the houses at Carowinds. The makeup for the walkers in the Walking Dead house, for example, used the actual molds from the show. I don't doubt that Scarowinds is fun, but I don't think you can really compare the scale.

Agreed, it's nice but there is surely more money/experience going into Universal. I just wanted to mention it because it seems like a lot of people think that the one you went to is completely unique in what they do(which arguably could be true due to the scale of production). But i've been to both and honestly felt they were really close in size and production(meaning the realism of it and the work involved not the producers themselves). Slightly less long lines being at carowinds but all in all i felt they were both the same amount of fun.

._. still wish i could have gone to see the silent hill house this year.

I think part of the fun of the scare is that moment when an "imaginary" person or place becomes real. This isn't on the same level but I had a similar moment of disorientation when I visited the House of Seven Gables in Salem & the tour took us through the (claustrophobic) secret passageway into the attic. Definitely creepy!

Why does everyone keep talking about this? Can't you just talk about it between yourselves, just the other people who have gone? It's not like any of us can contribute anything to the conversation. What are we gonna talk about? How NOT there we were, or how much we might want to go but can't? Geez. Whatever.

I'd imagine that probably is a large part of the case. I think most of us have seen so much horror related material from TV to movies to games that there's more chuckling and eye rolling than actually being scared by much of even the most well executed material. When you're out in the real world though and see something that's just not really supposed to exist except in fantasy, that all changes. Even if it is just a guy in a cheap hockey mask with a fake chainsaw in a place you've purposely gone to see cheap hockey mask wearing guys holding fake chainsaws, something changes when you really come face to face with it.

Good to know that even the non fans liked the house.

Although I believe hearts will be threatened by sirens from now on.
