Howl-O-Scream 2019

I really want to see the Blood Banquet return. Even if it is the Igor show again, which was actually pretty funny. Probably alone there but I thought it was fun and filled that space perfectly. The projection mapping last year did absolutely nothing for me.

Also would love to see the nurses back in the square in Killarney. I think it was 2013 or 2014 that they would stand out side and take pictures with guests. It was actually a happening place unlike the last few years.

I'm gonna get murdered for this one, but I miss Cutthroat Cove. i thought the theming was excellent and it was a fun house. That said, it was in no way scary nor was Ports of Skull, although the later was entertaining.

nobody seemed to mention this, but during the town hall meeting when kevin touched on this years event line-up, he mentioned that during howl-o-scream some "familiar faces" would make an appearance. this is in no way word-for-word what he said, but I'm fairly certain he could have possibly meant more throwback houses/terrortories/etc. so, I feel like it is a safe assumption that vault will be staying.

It would be great to see them bring back old houses and scare zones,as much as i love jesters,it wasnt the best replacement for demon street.I felt the vibe of being in a different world at howl-o-scream and with demon street still existing it emphasized it a lot.It was the best place in the park in my opinion.If by a chance that a miracle happend and they brought it back...im gonna cry tears of joy

I feel like they prolly wouldn't add two new houses. But I do think cornered's days are numbered. Considering there's now a lack of corn in their corn maze based house. >___>

Lumberhack I think has a couple more years, unless we get a hurricane that destroys it, considering they just leave everything up.

All of their mazes with the exception of one of the mazes in Newkastle for Santa stays up all year. Cornered just sits in the festhaus parking lot. You can see it from the train.

I'm aware, but cornered has a lot more against it than Lumberhack. I only brought up that Lumberhack is up year round because of it's location in the woods. It's easy with a bad enough storm to hurt the maze, which is otherwise in okay shape.

Cornered with a little bit of rain floods, doesn't have corn, and no longer tells it's story properly. If cornered isn't already falling to pieces it should be soon. Which is why it's higher on my list to be removed.

Though I wish Busch would just bit the bullet and build proper warehouses for these mazes. It's been 20 years, you'd think they'd learn, but nope. They'd just rather let everything fall to pieces before scrapping the house entirely, instead of prolonging it's life by protecting it and not having to rebuild it when a strong wind blows it away.

To be fair cornered, lumberhack and Circo are the only ones outdoors and their story necessitates that they are outside. The rest are indoors. I do agree that cornereds time has come and it's time for it to be retired.

I have seen several different media formats removing Michael Jackson songs or images from their pieces in light of recent allegations. I wonder if BGW will do the same considering all 3 shows have MJ songs in them. Personally I feel like if they didn't stop using those songs 20 years ago why bother now. You still hear Gary Glitter's Rock and Roll at sports events and that guy turned out to be a real creep.
 
I didnt like the new layout of mazes,Cornered has seen its days and its time to let the puppy go,the maze has done well in past years but this year I didnt feel the feeling of being in a field worrying for my life.This year almost every maze lacked besides the new ones,its time for lumberhack,cornered to go.and they can totally use the field of where drachens fire used to be,also the layout is horrible not like it used to be.Mazes should be spread around the park and it would make it feel like more of and adventure.There are 4 MAZES in one area,cmon they can do so much better

Technically it's 5 mazes in one area. But I agree they need to spread the houses out. Having Circo and Dystopia at the front of the park, and then the other houses in Oktoberfest is just not smart? I understand that there's room back there for all the houses, considering they gutted darkastle for this. But, I like being able to walk around the park and go "hey there's a house let's do it." Instead it's feels like they're forcing you to stay in Oktoberfest.

Honestly though, Lumberhack doesn't work as it is because it's been reversed and is telling the story backwards, and it's not a house that can do that. But I find that otherwise it has a a season or two left before leaving.

My big question is, why is it that we don't get sequel houses? We get houses that get minor changes to them (Lumberhack), and then we get houses that get completely changed but get no story upgrade or title upgrade (Frostbite. Though honestly Frostbite as it is now isn't worthy of even that title.) We don't seem to get direct sequel houses. I think it would have been nice in Bitten's day to upgrade the house and kept the theme. Or even Lumberhack could easily get an upgrade that could make it a sequel house. But we don't get sequel houses with like subtitled names. The one time I can think of that we did was Wicked Woods and Wicked Wood: Ripper Row.

Other than that the only sequel thing we've got is Monster Stomp (to Revamped and then Ripper Row) I wouldnt call Fiends a sequel show since it basically kept the same story as Fiends in the Festhaus, just with a more coherent story and different outfits.

You think they dimmed things down for younger ages,even though when the clock strikes 6 or they look at the park map or they read about the current events ,it tells them specifically not to bring younger children to HOS but they do anyways.I see little kids running all over fools court and the look I see on these parents faces almost like there ready to complain.Its your choice if you wanted to bring your kids,they told you not to.Im no HOS hater but things in the 2018 season were dimmed down and lacked all of the great key elements of HOS.
