Halloween Horror Nights may be doing the same three icons as last year of Freddy, Jason and Leatherface.

HHN Hollywood will be returing Freddy, Jason and Leatherface. Though oddly enough the main icon of the event will be The Caretaker (A icon used in Florida's event.)

As for KSF, I kinda pity them that they're using a movie tie-in with Quarantine. While the concept as a maze is very good (Zombies in a apartment). I have no faith in the film itself since it's a shot for shot remake of [REC]. That and just by the trailer alone it looks acted and they give away the ending and pretty much all the good parts of the film.

That's right. I forgot that The Caretaker was going to Hollywood this year.

Coolness,

it's been a few years since we've gone to Haunt and all the mazes are new to us. Time to go back.

Gemini Cricket · 07-09-2008, 08:10 PM

Excellent!
The Doll Factory was my favorite last year!

Kritter · 07-09-2008, 08:11 PM

Hopefully I will become a monster so then all you can say hi to me!

*Swoons and faints*

HAUNT!!!!!!!!!!!!

elly · 07-10-2008, 01:15 AM

and now htat i've had a couple moments to digest this info

..i have a feeling someone at the LA Times might be in a buttload of trouble, Knott's typically doesn't release this info until late August/early September...

...but hot dang, i REALLY can't wait for Haunt now

elly · 07-10-2008, 03:29 AM

and now that i've had even more time to think about this...

....its VERY surprising for maze info to be released this early. Returning Haunt monsters are just now receiving their re-hire cards, and the new hire day isn't until August 11th. I can't remember a time ever that Knott's has released the maze info before re-hire and new-hire events take place.

So until Knott's releases the information on their website, we should officially remember that all this info is un-official.

I can't wait for this. I love it. I always hoped that California Adventures would do something a little more adult themed for Halloween. I think that would bring a lot more business to that park in October. Although I’m sure that would never happen.

I remember it was before New Hire happened.
