RE: 13: Your Numbers Up (2011 to Present)
Pulled from the Howl-O-Scream thread:
It looked fantastic in my opinion. In fact, all of Thirteen, theme wise, is vastly better than it has been any other year. Some rooms received heavy modifications- all of which seem extremely positive. That said, it felt fairly understaffed and, well, the staff that was there was doing an absolutely horrendous job.

RE: 13: Your Numbers Up (2011 to Present)
So I am going to try and break this down from what I remember.
Room 1 - Still the same; except, the scare actor blends in with the flowers, by using a flower hat and outfit. Interesting scare method, I think it works, just not for me.
Fear of Dentist - I love how the dentist has a power drill instead of a weak tooth drill, it is louder and much more startling.
Fear of Clowns - I love the over theming. Especially towards the end with all the clown faces, masks, etc, staring at you.
Fear of Enclosed Spaces - This was done much better than last year, there was no confusion of where to go. The room was definitely large and much more powerful.
Fear of Waiting Rooms - Same as last year, no real change.
Fear of Strobes - This was extremely disorienting and not so much scary unless they were going for lightning or seizures.
Fear of Snakes - The only scary thing was the plastic ropes, but otherwise no real decor besides cameo and some snakes, but hardly nothing.
Fear of Spiders - Same as Fear of Snakes, but with spiders and walls of webs.
Fear of Heights - The only problem here is, looking down you see the reflection of your arms and it ruins the effect. Otherwise, it does do good.
Fear of Superstitions - The only change was every time a scare actor dropped his window door thing, a loud scream goes off; otherwise unless you are really worried about two ladders, it was rather lame.
Fear of Dead Bodies - The bodies look great, but I would like to see less hanging bodies, and better side decor.
Fear of Dirty Clothes - Literally I had no idea what the point of this room/hallway was?
Fear of Surgery - I would have an operation room rather than just a stretcher.
The Fear of Darkness has been removed.

Oh dear me- I thought I was going to die in this house. That balloon thing is still as terrifying as I remember last year.
Going through that germ covered bag of death, I couldn't even tell you what was in the rest of the rooms.

Really? There was no blinding dark room, if anything it felt like they removed it, or perhaps it was so light it felt nonexistent? Either way that room sucks if they consider it there.
It used to be pitch black with not even a light at the end to guide you, that is how you do that.

I'm not sure the list of phobias on the fence was changed for clowns. We couldn't see it. HOS 2013 is having a bad year for clown signage and merch.

Wait! Given how much extra time they had to set this one up, how can there be any signage problems?

Actually, from what I remember, all the 2nd set of signs that used to be on the path as you approached the entrance to Thirteen were missing. The only ones I saw were on the back fence and we didn't stand in a long enough line to read them.

Did this maze for the first time last night. It honestly felt the same as it did last year. Some rooms were fantastic with a few dead rooms in between. Actors were pretty good. Is it just me or did fear of the dentist/doctor get a serious downgrade? I remember there being a lot more blood and props last year and the year before. Fear of clowns was nicely done. Got a good scare out of it. Just wish it was a bit longer.
The other rooms were about the same as last year. Just wish the dead hallways were gone.
Those dead hallways between rooms should be fear of the dark

Yup, that is the ones. Along the back fence. We couldn't get close enough to see.

Yeah, if it is the one I am thinking of, the first 3 feet are dark enough just to hide two people then the rest of the room is bright. Made no sense to me.

I agree! I loved all the clown décor, I wanted to stop and look around. They should've just made all of 13 clownsZachary said:Pulled from the Howl-O-Scream thread:

I don't think that had anything to do with it, to be perfectly honest.

I love the mini-Fear Fair in 13. However, when I went in on opening weekend, the room was empty of scare actors. :shocked: I plan on going again this weekend and hope I'm not disappointed; got my QQ from FF.
