Halloween Horror Nights 2023- Rating Two More Houses



 Since I am not rating the houses as a countdown this year, I am trying to rate them in the order we would walk through them (yes, we had a system).  The order may not be 100% correct, but it is close. 

On to the houses...

THE LAST OF US

This house was based on the video game ( and HBO series) by the same name and, honestly, the least favorite for me.  Since I didn't watch the series or play the video game, the house really had no meaning to me.  It was, however, a pretty popular house with others and the one that consistently had one of the longer waits for us.  In fact, factoring in the wait time vs. my overall interest in the house, I wouldn't have minded skipping this house some nights (but we didn't).

The premise is a post-apocalyptic drama.  A global pandemic destroys  civilization and a hardened survivor takes control of a young girl who may be humanity's last hope. Score: 3

UNIVERSAL MONSTERS UNMASKED

Lurking beneath the streets of Paris are the Phantom of the Opera, the Hunchback of Notre Dame, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and the Invisible Man aka Jack Griffin. 

As you enter the house you see a full moon and light raindrops sprinkle overhead.  A police man on the bridge above warns everyone to clear the streets due to murders in the area. The rest of the house has you walking through the catacombs, the streets, and the Opera House in Paris.  

There were several rooms in this house and while it seemed a bit disjointed, I loved the Paris theme and scenery.  That bumped up the score for me.  Score: 5
