Event Howl-O-Scream 2014: Cursed

[Nicole]

Ooh! When can we see the video?

 

[Bill]

Assuming I don't completely hate it, it will be up Thursday evening barring any technical issues.

Here's last years... I really prefer spending my time behind the camera, not in front of it.

 

[Nicole]

Wow. That house had startles, disorientation, stalking. Why can't we have something similarly cool?

 

[David]

Wow.  That house had startles, disorientation, stalking.  Why can't we have something similarly cool?

Do I really need to state the obvious....

 

[Bill]

Scream Cam was today!

Working on uploading the full video to youtube, but for now here is a quick look at what I went through:

 

[David]

I love how you always have the same reaction....

"OHH!, ohhh oh man" (covers mouth)

---

Funny, that's exactly what your dates have said about you, David!

Indeed. David is a terrible addiction for them. Sometimes I pretend to feel guilty about it.

 

[Bill]

The covering of my mouth was actually on purpose for the most part. Last year I giggled way too much (my natural defense mechanism to stress/fear) and I also was trying to avoid blurting out obscenities.

In the full video I also just scream, jump, and yell OH MY GOD once. YouTube says over 2 hours to go... so it'll be a bit yet.

I also was trying to avoid blurting out obscenities.

I am disappointed to hear this.

The amount of scares in that 20 second video. is more scares than I got at BGW all night two weeks ago.*sighs

But HILARIOUS scary video Bill, looking forward to the full version.

 

[Bill]

There's two things I REALLY don't like to do - be on camera, and be scared. This experience combines the two. And it looks to be a new annual occurrence, so I hope you all enjoy my discomfort and embarrassment each year. :irritated2:

 

[Jonquil]

I would love to see Bill wearing the Scream Cam on Falcon's Fury!

 

[Bill]

There's a reason our friend Austin rode it for Media Day and not me!

 

[Ghost of Pretzel Kaiser]

This all could have been avoided if you just bought me that plane ticket...

 

[Bill]

Sorry PK, not in the BGTFans budget.

Back to HOS, I thought Dead Fall was very detailed from what I could see. It's tough walking in from bright sun to near pitch black, I'm sure I missed a lot. Lots of good startle scares and few interesting ones too (you'll see it on the full video, I was nearly eaten by a very large reptile).

This house is more about the theme and startle type of scares, not the blood and gore kind. Which for me is a good thing.

 

[Nicole]

The bright light to pitch black thing is a real problem. It will ruin a maze for me, actually.

 

[Bill]

Full video is now up, check out the updated HOS 2014 Preview article for it: http://bgtfans.com/2014/howl-o-scream-2014-preview/

Where's the very first place you can get a look inside the brand new Zombie Containment Unit house? If you said BGTFans, you're right!

 

[Party Rocker]

That looks interesting.

If you follow on twitter *cough* @BGTFansonline *cough* then you've probably seen these tweets over the last week. I decided to have a bit of fun with the Cursed song lyrics and match them up with our houses...
