I swear it feels like they actively try to give me a reason not to come every year.

No giant pumpkin or scarecrows?
I hate to compare Halloween events but.. Halloween Horror Nights opened this weekend. I've seen alot of YouTube videos of Friday night opening including IOMGeek's videos. Their is a vikings undead scare zone in central park that makes Axe Alley look like a kiddie Halloween zone. It's freakin' good.

The BAP isn't out yet but I expect it to go out before next weekend.
There aren't any scarecrows currently, but I could see them going to Killarney as well.
Last I heard, the troll was dead... Probably for good. Years of guest and weather abuse without any real care or upkeep murdered him.

I'm double posting here but I'm sure you all will forgive me...
A little birdie gave me clearance to publish a photo of the troll. This is the last I've seen of him unfortunately. I don't know if he has undergone repairs since the time of this photo, but as you can see... He was pretty much destroyed after he was last seen in public. ?
Huge thanks to the person who sent this to me and is allowing me to share it! You all will never know them, but the little birdies deserve a lot of thanks.

It's like he woke up at 2am to go to the bathroom and he's trying not to fall asleep on the toilet.
Shit, they should put him back on display because that's scary as hell.
Every time I've been to the pub this year they've had Guinness on tap
@ManitobaMoose mid to late October is the busiest time. During that time you'll want to go on a Thursday or Sunday if possible. Late September crowds are not as bad. For your first time I'd recommend avoiding the busiest nights so you'll have time to go through all the mazes.
Early October is probably the best experience. All decorations should be up, actors have had two weekends to figure out their job, not extremely crowded, etc
here’s an old photo i have of our boy, it is from October 2016
I'd say if they are still keeping that thing they are wasting space. Unfortunately looks well beyond repair.
Maybe save it for a robot apocalypse house? Just have the metal bits moving.
They could intergrate it into Dystopia.
So is howl-o-scream as lame as people on here are making it out to be? Or is there just frustration it isn't as good as it once was/could be?
Both. It has been really good in the past, so to those that visited then, it's sad and frustrating to see it in its current iteration. If you've never been, you'll still have a good time. I miss the golden age of HOS, but I still go, and I still have a good time. You're at a great theme park, with some great rides, and it's still a cool atmosphere, even if it isn't what it has been in the past.
When was the golden age of HOS? And why has it declined recently, does anyone have an explanation?
