RE: Howl-O-Scream 2013
As far as houses go, I wouldn't be. Shows? I'm just crossing my fingers that they can hit last year's level.
Both those things said, I think the park may be holding onto a secret weapon for this year's event.
Stay tuned...

Couldn't agree more. After KK and those animals, I can't imagine the park presenting another quality HoS for some time. I'll go, but this year I'm looking at going to different parks for my Halloween kicks.

Yea I'm super bummed as I usually go to central Florida for my Halloween fix but won't have the dough this year. So I was hoping for an awesome updated Howl-O-Scream. :-\

Um this "Fear has a Way of Spreading" thread title has me excited. I'm sure it's just their campaign schtick but hey. Sounds as if fear is a plague. Can we just bring back Wicked Woods already - come on, that was all about the plague!?

Went to the park on Friday, saw lots of buzz around the Fear Fair site. A couple trucks and golf carts.
As for the 'way of spreading' slogan, I'm hoping there's more to it. I'm slowly getting less excited about HOS this year

So just the other week one of my sources gave me the absolute most interesting news about the event that just may be very good.
It turns out that England, as I mentioned before, is definitely getting an overhaul for Howl-o-Scream. How far will this go? What does this encompass? Well the answers to those questions lies in this: think Holiday Hills. Not the theme, but the change over. England will still be England, somewhat. However all the shops will be getting new names, themes sorta, and all new merchandise. Do not expect any crows in this hamlet, they will not be returning.
And who loved Open Casket? The wonderful theming and the vampire servers right? Well this is going to be one of the most interesting interactive treats this year. An non-exclusive interactive dining experience. To be honest, this information wasn't very straight or clear but what I got was the naked lady on the fountain in Rhinefeld will be replaced with The Lady of the Gardens, who will be an actual actress greeting you and luring you into this dining experience. There will be patio tables set up, with Vampire servers. This dining experience is to complement Bitten in Oktoberfest; however I was told it may be located in The Black Forest Picnic Area or the Entertainment Warehouse/Hunted/Darchen Fire Maintenance building. Please don't ask for too much info because like I said it was more or less thrown in bits and pieces at me.
Continuing onward, the park has/had drastic plans for in-park scares and theming and their main focus was/is not houses and shows. I suggest taking this with a grain of salt, I trust my sources on this one completely, but with all the last minute decisions and budget cuts going on, I can't hold my breath.

Just cross your fingers that there's some money left after Illumi.

Just an update, those crates in Italy last year for the dig site theme are hiding near the stables and peeped to be put out.
Also Zach mentioned Wunderbarns chicken coops being used for HOS. I can confirm at least three coops are sitting near Pompeii and Sesame it not so fabulous condition. The window doors are torn off practically they look shredded almost. Not sure where or what their purpose is for but a fresh coat of paint and sesame theme and they would fit fine in Sesame for HOS.

As a total aside, I was catching up on this thread and saw this comment. It reminded me... There was totally a Weeping Angel at BGT's Christmas Town last year. It was so very wrong. And parents were letting their children near it. I kept going and didn't blink.

On a somewhat related note, during last Howl-o-Scream I was walking with a friend through the Wild Reserve and we noticed a statue cleverly place in the shrubbery that looked almost so exactly real and lifelike to the point once we passed my friend said the statue reminded her of the weeping angels, but as a hooded figure.

Completely off-topic now...How perfect would a Doctor Who theme be for Howl-O-Scream? Of course you might need to turn Ireland into Cardiff, but think of the excellent monsters: Angels, Cybermen, Daleks, the Silence, Headless Monks, the Ood, etc. Torchwood stuff would also work for H0S: Weevils, Fairies,...
Doctor Who probably wouldn't work so well for Christmas Town though, given how the Christmas specials always turn out.

I've never particularly liked maintaining a Howl-O-Scream attractions list on the forum so this year I'm moving it to the main site. You can check it out here. I'll be sure to post something mentioning what has been updated anytime an update is made.
