So after weeks and weeks of thinking of what to do for this year's Halloween, I finally got to do something fun and worthwhile, Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood! ...I was really excited for many reasons...lets see:
1) I've never been to Knotts Scary Farm or Halloween Horror Nights before.
2) I've never really had fun these past years when Halloween rolled around due to work or wack plans.
3) This year's Horror Night's main host was Jigsaw/Billy from one of my favorite movies, SAW.
4) I paid the cheapest price possible due to it being a Sunday (saved $20)
5) I was going with people in whom I knew I can have fun with
Although we all know that Universal Studios doesn't have many rides, it didn't matter because the mazes, scare zones, live shows, and the terror tram used up all our time perfectly :)
Mazes
Saw: 
This one was the best maze I've ever walked in to. The lighting to the acting to the detailed structure made the movie really come to life. The first thing I noticed were the black/white cameras which showed us walking through, as if we were playing the game ourself. The bathroom scene from SAW 1 was great...there was a guy trying to saw off his leg, a dead body, and they even detailed the stench of the place...I was about to yack. There was also the frozen girl from SAW 3, and as we walked passed her, the room got really really cold...once again on point. Later was John Kramer being operated on with the nurse...very well done. Lastly, I wanted to point out Amanda digging through this guy's guts with her head trap on...it's like seeing the real Amanda from the movie right in front of you! ...I loved this maze.

This was the first maze we went to...the rooms were once again very detailed and Michael Myers came out at the best times trying to scare us. One part I remember was when we walked through body bags in which we had to push out of our way...pretty creepy and realistic.

This maze was pretty cool, we walked through the mine where the killings happened...and although I've never walked through a real mine before, this place really had the feel of one along with a smell. Harry popped out swinging his axe at random places throughout the maze...it was pretty fun.

This maze was pretty well structured, but the thing is it was pretty dark and not much of scare zones...it was more about random people in masks scaring us than Chucky himself...but overall it was okay, my last favorite maze.

The Terror Tram featuring Billy the Puppet from SAW was awesome...as we got in the tram, the video screen interrupted our host as he was talking and challenged us to play his game to survive. Billy talked about how we love scary movies and how we think watching them makes us feel like an escape from reality...so he challenged the people by dropping us off at a random place and forced us to walk amongst the dirt as we faced through countless monsters...we went to the setting of My Bloody Valentine to Halloween to The Strangers to this crashed airplane scene with zombies everywhere...it was fun walking through the sets because once again, it made us feel like we were in the movies.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Although I've never seen this classical movie before, I knew about it from my childhood...the whole performance was great from the singing to acting...I enjoyed it a lot even though there were cross-dressing men dancing with hot girls.
Rides
Jurassic Park ...I got pretty wet compared to everyone else -_-
The Mummy ...When it was getting good, it stopped and it was all over...
The Simpsons ...it was like Back to the Future but a bigger screen...
Overall I don't really like The Mummy or The Simpsonss ride that much but they were okay for the first time...
Conclusion
Overall, I had a lot of fun with every aspect of Horror Nights...the only thing I found funny was how I got wet EVERYWHERE I went...SERIOUSLY, from the scare zones to the rides itself to the mazes to the show! ...I can't believe I got wet from watching a show in an auditorium! haha...I look forward in going next year...thanks Christine :)
