idk cursed was long and the themeing for it was good, but i do agree i would much rather have zombies instead though
I couldn't stand Cursed. Maybe it was just because they weren't splitting people into smaller groups, but I didn't like the theme all that much either. It's a prime, out of the way, location with big potential and I was sad to see it... how should I put this... wasted.
Was Cursed the one behind Roman Rapids? Well which ever that one was it was my favorite. I know a lot of people complained about it, but I liked it for some reason. I'm relatively claustrophobic so I think I liked it only because so much of it was outdoors 
Speaking of claustrophobia. There is one special effect in Revenge/Curse of Pompeii where the walls close in. They actually call that the claustrophobia effect.
I don't think it is the set-up which was the issue. It was the theme, not only does it not fit at all into Festa Italia, witches screeching at me doesn't scare me. The fact that it was a scare zone made up of 100% females (not sexist or anything) didn't make it a strong point. The male ScareActors tend to be a little more fierce with their scaring. So If Cursed does return, I would like some Male "Witch's Assistants" in the Scare Zones.
yeah i think the problem was that the scareactors in cursed were new to the job and didn't know how to scare people they were just standin around and this one witch was just wavin to people:-/
The Only thing from last year that I thought were worth bringing back from last year are Catacombs and Bitten. Just make Catacombs longer, and you have the best maze in Howl-O-Scream history. The Hunted was good, but it was almost exactly like the maze before it, except with werewolves. This year, according to the Pass Member News, there will be 500 scareactors. I think that is 200 more than last year.

nothing from last year needs to come back lol. we want neww and improved mazes. i would like to know who does the story boards for these. they never sayyy. and since there with blackstone. maybeee these people will be more detailed and serious about there craft.which is scaring peopleee. i dont want to see reused old dusty props from masquerge.
also there should be no more than maybe 19 people in a maze if you let in like 30 thats rididculous just to get the lines down. also i guess it depends on how fast the guests walk but they r so scared they wont walk any faster plus its dark so maybe just groups of 12. so people arent stoping in the middle of a hallway backing up the line .. also the use of cells in a maze is flippin ridiculous. they need to cut down on that too. wow talkin to yur bf while walking through a maze thats so disrespectful .thats kinda like saying oh this is boring.

Actually I have to say I do agree now. It is true that they re-used too many things. Barely anything was brand new.

i bet a that money goes to all those pumpkins rofl. but truee. but if they are doing new mazes that may mean new theming. i reallllly miss the clowns. i claimed to not be scared of them but last laugh industries was freaky and i loved how the maze sorta smelled like cotton candy o.o lol. they should do a maze with dolls because alot of people have a fear of dolls.
I remember seeing some video on Youtube from "Jack" about the pumpkins. I think they bought them from local farms.
