We did Stay and Scream with Express passes on the 2nd Thursday in October 2022. We were able to finish all of the house by 10:15. That’s with stopping for food, drinks, and rest room breaks.
God I just love how you guys get more and more creative with editing. I have to know did you guys already know a lot of these tricks and edits already from a different job? Or have you’d been learning as you go? I love it!!
Aww! Thank you so much! When we go our first camera, as sad as it sounds, Tyler had to look up a video how to turn it on! He had never even opened editing software before the channel and now I see him taking notes when he watches other youtubers and he is always trying to learn! This comment will definitely make him smile!
All you need to do at HHN is hit each house once. The Express Pass does that. Get there when HHN gates open at 6 p.m. and you'll be through all 8-9 houses by 10:30 pm. Get the Express Pass, otherwise you'll wait in lines for hours and only make 3-4 houses. Been there, done that.
8:48 thats exactly how i felt and kinda still feel abt spirits of the coven but i rewatched some videos of it and im kinda thinking back on that like it doesnt look that bad when u get a good walkthrough
I saw you guys on Saturday! I wanted to say hi but you guys were so focused on your video that didn’t want to interrupt. You were filming right after the bridge that connects Simpson’s area to the Harry Potter area. Love your videos!
Yeah I went for the early entry before the park opened until almost it was time to come back for the Scare Actor Dining. It is exhausting and I wind up walking off sidewalks or trying to walk over a rope line and tripping over it and landing on my face lol. Since I have big feet and I was frustrated I lost my ticket and was trying to get help for them to reprint one for me.
This year will be my first HHN and I decided to do the RIP Tour! Usually haunts aren’t really my thing, but HHN just looks so cool I had to check it out!
We did your tip of waiting to use the express pass if the wait is under 30 minutes. When we got in line, the wait for standby said 20 minutes so we got in that line, 30 minutes later we were still in line waiting and we were not even close to the entrance. We wasted a lot of time not using our express pass from the start. We never got a chance to do any of the houses twice or see both of the shows and we definitely did not have time to ride any rides. So we will always use the express line first, of course unless the standby is 5 mnutes.
We’d imagine it’s not much worse than a normal night since so many people stay in studios for HHN. We don’t venture over there much on HHN nights, though!
My son and I are going this year. 1 night. On Halloween. The scare zones are what we are looking forward to. We'll do the stranger things house and maybe one more. But the scare zones are what's going to be the most fun for us.
going opening weekend ty for the advice!! also going just sept 1st and we’re definitely planning park open to get on some rides and lunch at 3 broomsticks
100% agree regarding opening to close during HHN. I've done it a few times with my daughter and it's brutal. This year we have 5 days to play and the Rush of Fear pass so we don't feel the need to close it down every night.
Im planning to go to HHN in a couple years as an early bday present Getting one of the universal hotel packages for HHN that include day park tickets My first time going to either! Definetly getting the express pass for HHN and staying 5 days doing the parks everyday and HHN one night @ThePughTwo
@@greysonlee665 If first time I'd highly recommend not going to the parks during the day and doing HHN. I've done it a few times but it's brutal walking around all day and night. I'm 55 though so if you're younger you may be up for it. I took my 19 year old daughter last year and she could barely keep up.
I LOVE your explanations and tips. Everything you said is 100% true. The amount of people who waste express, don't plan accordingly, never use stay and scream, and judge poorly is insane. I have a fantastic time every night because I've learned how to do HHN properly.
I was heading down to UCF, for a college visit and my dad brought up going here and it’s going to be great! Going to be super fun as I’ve never been to a holiday event at a theme park. Thanks for the video!
Agree on taking breaks! My favorite spot is the preshow area in Fallon. Comfy sofa benches, outlets, and great A/C...means I always relax here for at least an hour before Stay and Scream opens!
All good advise! Please please please tho, make sure you make it clear to newbies that the house sign is NOT the entrance to the house. Most have what seem like a mile to the door, then a mile back. We would have done far less in the day on the night we did HHN. A longer midday rest, too. We got tuckered out way too early. 😢 all of the channels we watched leading up to it, mentioned a lot of walking, but failed to mention why.
I always love y'all's videos I swear when I first saw y'all's videos I immediately fell in love with y'all y'all's always have such creative videos I just love them
I'm flying in from the Netherlands this september to go to the parks for the first time in 5 years. Booked a night in Hard Rock and got our HHN tickets and express passes. Can't wait! Great video and I love the energy you two have!
I must be a freak then because I always do EPA the day of, stay till close of HHN & then up again for EPA hours later. I have never been tired or sore. Must be a zombie thing
Love the channel! Went to HHN last year. My biggest complaint was it was way too busy. You could see the scare from the person in front of you every house
My Wife would love to go to HHN , but I have autism, ptsd, a hard time dealing with stress and anxiety. I can deal with normal stress, and anxiety and a moderate amount of motion sickness, however, HHN will have scare actors actively scaring you, and jump scaring. Can you do a vid to explain methods of lessening, the impact of the effects of scare zones and houses ! So I might be more comfortable to go , and still enjoy as much as I can? I would really like to indulge my Wife's need to go to HHN to make her happy!
We’d be happy to give you some tips!! My biggest one would be either AirPods or another kind of wireless ear buds that have great noise cancellation. Also, at HHN, there aren’t people jumping out at you constantly. Of course that happens in the houses and in the scare zones, but you don’t have to go through houses and the scare zones have pretty clear boundaries that the actors stay in. Also, if you walk on the sidewalk and not the middle of the street, you’ll rarely be bothered. Another tip is to have some places planned beforehand that you can go if you get overwhelmed. Diagon Alley used to be the go-to place, but it’s looking like they might have death eaters in there this year. Our best suggestions would be inside restaurants or rides that are open, or of course CityWalk itself. We hope you and your wife get a chance to go!
I have autism too, and just watching videos of some of the house can be a bit much. Sometimes I have to close my eyes because of the flashing lights. I also have an aversion to loud noises. I don't like jump scares, as it physically hurts. If I know it's coming I can brace for, but then I'm worried about lashing out at the poor actors since I'll likely brace using anger.
I completely understand, 2023 hhn the exorcist house almost gave me a panic attack taking needed breaks and during scare zones just try and act like the actors aren’t there make them not go after you. and definitely bring some of those like big earmuff headphones with some chill music and remember you don’t have to do the houses to have a good time! we only did 5 houses last year and it was sooooo fun the food was so good.
This is our first year at hhn. We weren't able to get the rip tour, but we got express passes. We ll be in the park during the day, but what some advice for taking a break from the houses and riding rides...we re not even sure what's open. Also we really want to see the shows, how earl should we get to them? Thanks!
That’s so fun!! They only have the bigger rides open during HHN like rockit, mummy, MIB, and gringotts. There might be one or two more, but those are the biggest ones! And for the shows, we recommend about 20 minutes ahead!
Travelling from Scotland to HHN in September. Staying at royal pacific. I’ve heard rumours there’s a dedicated hotel entrance that lets you get a house done straight away? Is that true and if so, would I be better with this or stay & scream?
The hotel entrance only gets you into the park and avoids the main gate lines if you want to hit up the houses with little to no wait I'd hardcore suggest stay n scream
Stay and scream, for sure! You get released from stay and scream a few minutes early and you’re already in line for one of the houses while you’re in stay and scream.
Thank you for all the tips. Yes, I see how all of that is awesome advise. This will be my third year and I'm so excited. But the biggest advise I have to take is the part of coming later in the day. It is just so hard for me not to be there when they open. But to do that and stay until 1:00 am or 2:00 am. Yep, my feet and legs want to do what in the world my head was doing. Can't wait for more HHN information!!!!
14 days until my quick weekend trip at Disney... And then... HALLOWEEN HORROR NIGHTS MID SEPTEMBER! Ahhhh! Thanks for the tips. I'm planning to spend a full day at Universal and then an evening at HHN. Thinking about getting a hotel for the night because it's going to be such a long day, and I remember driving back to Winter Garden (when I lived in Florida) after a late night. I don't think I'm going to have the strength to hustle back to my Disney Resort. September 27th can't come soon enough, but I am definitely booking sapphire falls.
That’s so exciting!! We definitely recommend getting a hotel room, it just makes the end of the night so much easier! We hope you have an amazing time on your trip!
@@ThePughTwoI see Sapphire falls is available, but I don’t know if I want to spend 300$s for one night. Would you have any recommendations at one of the more value resorts??
This is going to be my first hhn, and your videos have been amazingly helpful. I only have one night to get as much in as possible, these videos have helped me create a game plan.
Man I want to go to HHN again this year so bad. I took my little brothers for the first time last year and we had the best time ever. This year they nearly died in a car wreck it’s a miracle they are alive. And when they finally got home they said “we want to go back to HHN “. Unfortunately we just can’t swing the price for all 3 of us to go. We will return eventually. We made lifelong memories there.
@@ThePughTwo thank you. yeah it was a horrific wreck. 90 mph into a corn field. Injuries were pretty bad Both boys broke their backs. And one brothers seatbelt broke and the car landed on his arm and head. 6 days after the wreck both boys got sent home. The only injury that’s gonna take some time is the nerves in the arm that was pinned under the car. All nerves were severed. It takes them awhile to heal but they expect in a few months it will be back to normal. They are miracles. Probably won’t make this year. But the goal is next year. They love watching me get spooked Can’t wait to watch all the walk though videos !
Your suggestion of stay and scream, then go straight and do a few houses before those at the gates descend upon the houses (like a ravenous hoard of zombies?) is exactly what we were thinking of doing - we've got a few nights at HHN, and will target the houses on each night using a different stay and scream area. Awesome to see that our original vague plan is clearly a good one! Do a few houses, then take in the atmosphere of the various scare zones. And gotta say, really do love your videos - so much enthusiasm, extremely well presented, and awesome from start to finish. Way better than anything from the official channel!
Hi! I love watching your videos every week! We just found out I am expecting and wondering if I will still be able to enjoy a trip to universal. Do you have a ride guide for expecting moms?!
Awesome video y’all!!! So you suggest 7PM for food? Just want to confirm- I can’t wait too long for food so I’d love to hit the food when it is NOT busy!
@@ThePughTwo You're welcome. I love watching yall even if the subject matter isn't up our alley. LOL. I've just really never been much for the halloween nights at Universal and Disney. But I will be watching yall's videos from yall's time there and several others that I watch.
Did the RIP tour with my son last year and we had 0 wait on all houses, got through them all in 3 hours including the show. Pricey but would never do it any other way.
I'm going on my first universal AND HHN trip this year because I'm a huge last of us fan and couldn't miss out on the house! but I am TERRIFIED of Haunted Houses and have only been in one. BUT this video made me feel more prepared and a little less freaked out! thank you!!!
That’s so exciting! I used to be terrified of all haunted houses, but HHN is my favorite thing ever! I think it’s scary in all the right ways, and not the ways that always made me hate haunts if that makes sense lol you’re gonna love it!!
Guys as usual another amazing hhn information did not expect nothing else from my fav 2 now anna ,,tyler the news use give the public can not be beat pure quality but the laughter always makes the video love use guys
This was so great!! This is my first time going in many years! We have APs but are going with two non APs, we bought express as that’s a no brainer! Should we pay extra for them to get stay and scream!? Thank you!!
I’ve seen some people with unlimited express for HHN this year. Me and my wife got the after 11pm express for saturday, 9/23 and did 9 of the 10 houses done in that time frame.
I've been planning our trip to HHN 32 and we can not wait! This will be our second year attending. Our first year was in 2022 and we loved it. We ended getting the lower tier express pass and got everything done plus more! Even saw a show and got the famous pizza fries and tators lol. Your videos were very helpful last year and I look forward to seeing more in these upcoming weeks! We will be going to HHN Sept 30th and that following Tuesday to enjoy the rides. Hope to see you in the parks :)
That’s so exciting!! We’re so glad our videos have been helpful, and we hope you have an amazing time this year too! We’ll be around, so if you see us come say hi!
So the bus tour is only at HHN Hollywood. We mainly visit HHN Orlando, but you don’t need express to go on the terror tram out in Hollywood. That’s only offered during HHN which you have to have an HHN ticket for. During daytime operations, they run their normal tram tour through the backlots and show you the cool sets where famous movies have been filmed. You just need a daytime park ticket for this, too.
I like your videos. We are coming with 2 small children at the end of October. Therefore we cannot go to the HHN. We want to go to the parks in the morning. Do you know how long they are open before HHN starts in the evening?
We have done the RIP tour the last 4 times we have gone to HHN. I was disappointed the last 2 years so this year we are just doing the express pass route. I found the tour to be rushed through the scare zones and we zigzagged back and forth to the houses which was exhausting only to go to the “private bar” areas where we ended up sitting around for 45mins wasting time. Perhaps they’ve scheduled too many of these, and the guys are being told where to go and when. I just didn’t enjoy it, and by the time we got done, it was after midnight, and there was no time really to ride any rides because we were so tired from walking back-and-forth across the parks and not going in any semblance of order to the houses. The food at Cafe La Bamba was good but there was no opportunity to eat while on the tour. I hope you can do a real comparison between the RIP tour vs Express with the early admission add-on.
Late watching this video. But we are going to this next month for the first time. So watching as many videos for tips as possible. Love yours the best. Question. Is the food expensive at HHN??
Hi, I have a question for the community. I will be travelling with my wife and son (12months at time of travel) from oct 30th to nov 4th. We are interested in some rides but mostly want to simply spend time in the parks and walk around. For a day or two we are willing to accept longer ride wait times in exchange for shorter security and entry line ups. Is there a time of day that has shorter security and park entry line ups? (Hopefully this makes sense) Thanks
Absolutely! Aside from right when the park opens, the line to get in isn’t usually long at all. At most 5 minutes maybe? The only time it really gets backed up is first thing in the morning!
Were so excited for our trip coming up in September!! It would be awesome to see you guys in the park and say thank you for helping us with every trip we make!!!
Awesome video y'all! I can say we definitely made a couple of those mistakes last year, which was our first year. We may or may not have had to ice pack out feet at the hotel. Lol. We actually found your video about the stay and scream area and ended up doing Richters for our last two nights there and it transformed our experience. Can't wait for this year, thank you both for all the great tips and coverage!
@@ThePughTwo Maybe we will get lucky and get to say hi to y'all while we are there. But we will definitely be doing our homework for stay and scream beforehand this year. It was a game changer last year for sure!
This is my first time in years and years. We are a few hours away and will be there Saturday morning through Sunday afternoon. We want to eat at Toothsome, right now we have a 4pm reservation should we make it for earlier?!?!?!
I have been going for seven years now and have learned that even with express it takes at least eight to ten hours to fully experience the whole event. I usually start at the tribute store, then make my way to two original houses ride a few rides see the fire show eat drink and then do the rest but express does wonders and saves lives
I’ll be honest, I never have enough time to go back to houses that I’ve already done (w/ express). It’s like from open to close, by the time I’m done with the last house, the park is closing. This year will be my 16th year. Thanks for the tips! A dog can never be too old to learn new tricks!
It definitely depends on the night and how things go. When we travelled down from TN and only had 2-3 nights at the event, we walked our hearts out trying to go through them all as many times as possible lol we’re so glad this one was helpful!
Going for 4 days for hhn hopefully. Definitely going to spend more time in scarezones. I went through with express somewhat early because I wasn't going to be staying the whole night.
I will be going to Universal to celebrate my 30th birthday. I am located in Mexico, and this will my second time at the parks. Not only that, but I am traveling solo and going to HHN Opening night. I have been watching all of your videos to get a better sense of what I should do and not, thank you for that. You guys are amazing and I love yours videos. I really hope I come across your way, it would be more than amazing!!!!! >< YOU GUYS ROCK!
Unfortunately yes. The RIP ticket is kind of like express. It doesn’t actually get you into the event and you also need a ticket. And yes! All houses, scare zones, and shows are included with the RIP!
We did Stay and Scream with Express passes on the 2nd Thursday in October 2022. We were able to finish all of the house by 10:15. That’s with stopping for food, drinks, and rest room breaks.
Happy to hear it! We hope it’s just as easy this year, but it seems unlikely
God I just love how you guys get more and more creative with editing. I have to know did you guys already know a lot of these tricks and edits already from a different job? Or have you’d been learning as you go? I love it!!
Aww! Thank you so much! When we go our first camera, as sad as it sounds, Tyler had to look up a video how to turn it on! He had never even opened editing software before the channel and now I see him taking notes when he watches other youtubers and he is always trying to learn!

I know!!
All you need to do at HHN is hit each house once. The Express Pass does that. Get there when HHN gates open at 6 p.m. and you'll be through all 8-9 houses by 10:30 pm. Get the Express Pass, otherwise you'll wait in lines for hours and only make 3-4 houses. Been there, done that.
We just don’t think it’ll be quite that simple this year, but good luck!!
But what about when a House has multiple endings?
8:48 thats exactly how i felt and kinda still feel abt spirits of the coven but i rewatched some videos of it and im kinda thinking back on that like it doesnt look that bad when u get a good walkthrough
It got better throughout the event, too!
At hhn orlando, u can upgrade your single night express to unlimited for 30 dollars extra, only at the inpark express kiosk
Yeah I think they started that last year!
I saw you guys on Saturday! I wanted to say hi but you guys were so focused on your video that didn’t want to interrupt. You were filming right after the bridge that connects Simpson’s area to the Harry Potter area. Love your videos!
Awh, you should’ve said hello!! We hope you had a great day at the parks!
@@ThePughTwo will do next time! Thanks for all you do!
Yeah I went for the early entry before the park opened until almost it was time to come back for the Scare Actor Dining.
It is exhausting and I wind up walking off sidewalks or trying to walk over a rope line and tripping over it and landing on my face lol.
Since I have big feet and I was frustrated I lost my ticket and was trying to get help for them to reprint one for me.
Oh no! Lol we hope that doesn’t happen this year!
@@ThePughTwo Yeah two years in a row I walked off curbs at Universal at night time lol. My brother at least caught me one of the times lol.
This year will be my first HHN and I decided to do the RIP Tour! Usually haunts aren’t really my thing, but HHN just looks so cool I had to check it out!
Jealous. Wanted to do it but my group isnt ovwrly punctual. So regular and express for me. But you're going to have a blast
Omg, you’re gonna have so much fun!! They’re not my thing either, but HHN is different!
I did this last year and have since decided that it’s the ONLY way to enjoy HHN. You get to do EVERYTHING!!
Oh and I love how y’all actually reply to people’s comments! Thank you! It sure makes you shine! Love you guys!
Haha we try!! And thank you for watching!
@@ThePughTwo you’re welcome!
Nothing more scary than a MINDFLAYER! luv it.
Going to be a great house for in my opinion scariest season of stranger things
Haha we can’t wait!!
UOTM here, we specifically summon the rain on opening night for additional ambience.
😂😂 it does make the fog extra thick!!
We did your tip of waiting to use the express pass if the wait is under 30 minutes. When we got in line, the wait for standby said 20 minutes so we got in that line, 30 minutes later we were still in line waiting and we were not even close to the entrance.

So we will always use the express line first, of course unless the standby is 5 mnutes.
We have luckily never had that issue! Sorry that it didnt work out for you!
Also so many people come over from IOA after it closes. So gets busy around 8 or 830 again.
We’d imagine it’s not much worse than a normal night since so many people stay in studios for HHN. We don’t venture over there much on HHN nights, though!
Thank you guys for sharing this information
Thanks for watching!
LOL Anna - the USA founded on fried food and getting scared right out of your pants! Great video. Keep having fun getting amped for HHN 👻
😂😂 we’re so glad you enjoyed this one! We’re excited too!
My son and I are going this year. 1 night. On Halloween. The scare zones are what we are looking forward to. We'll do the stranger things house and maybe one more. But the scare zones are what's going to be the most fun for us.
That’s so fun! We hope y’all have an amazing time at the event!!
Does anyone know when the jurassic park tribute store is closing ? Will it still be open in the fall?
They haven’t announced a date yet!

realistically with stay and scream, you'll be going through 2 houses maybe 3 MAX.... but still very very worth it!!
This year could be worse than normal, but 3-4 is our average when we do stay and scream before we break out express!
I do the same use express when wait time hits 30 mins and up
That’s the best way to do it!! Lol
I'm flying in from the Netherlands this september to go to the parks for the first time in 5 years.
Booked a night in Hard Rock and got our HHN tickets and express passes. Can't wait!
Great video and I love the energy you two have!
Hi fellow European! Travelling from Scotland in early September and will do 2 nights HHN & staying at royal pacific
Oh my gosh that’s so exciting! We hope you have a wonderful time on your trip!!
The scare zone in front of The Mummy last was one of my favorites ever. I loved the old school theme.
We loved it too! That was one of our favorites!
I must be a freak then because I always do EPA the day of, stay till close of HHN & then up again for EPA hours later. I have never been tired or sore. Must be a zombie thing
Haha must be!
So true on houses walk through...sometimes terrible...other times amazing. Weekend house is a good example. It was awesome
Love the channel! Went to HHN last year. My biggest complaint was it was way too busy. You could see the scare from the person in front of you every house
Yeah that’s kinda what we mean about good and bad runs, sometimes stuff times up well and other times it doesn’t!
Can you guys do a video/short on the new INCCES requirements for the Guest Assistance Pass?
We’ll keep that in mind, thanks for the suggestion!

I completely understand, 2023 hhn the exorcist house almost gave me a panic attack taking needed breaks and during scare zones just try and act like the actors aren’t there make them not go after you. and definitely bring some of those like big earmuff headphones with some chill music and remember you don’t have to do the houses to have a good time! we only did 5 houses last year and it was sooooo fun the food was so good.
I can't wait guys!! Thanks for the video, Ill be there September 1st!
We’ll be there too! We can’t wait!
I missed a couple houses last year but my boyfriend and I agreed that out of all the ones we went through The Weekend was our favorite
The Weeknd was so good!! It was like a party, but scary 😂
Going to my first HHN this year. Your tips are super helpful
That’s so exciting!!
This is our first year at hhn. We weren't able to get the rip tour, but we got express passes. We ll be in the park during the day, but what some advice for taking a break from the houses and riding rides...we re not even sure what's open. Also we really want to see the shows, how earl should we get to them? Thanks!
That’s so fun!! They only have the bigger rides open during HHN like rockit, mummy, MIB, and gringotts. There might be one or two more, but those are the biggest ones! And for the shows, we recommend about 20 minutes ahead!
Travelling from Scotland to HHN in September. Staying at royal pacific. I’ve heard rumours there’s a dedicated hotel entrance that lets you get a house done straight away? Is that true and if so, would I be better with this or stay & scream?
The hotel entrance only gets you into the park and avoids the main gate lines if you want to hit up the houses with little to no wait I'd hardcore suggest stay n scream
@@jarodmarcil5363 thank you! First time HHN trip although I’ve done universal a few times before. Want to make sure I’m making most of tickets & time.
@@victoriacaldwell anytime! I used to live in Orlando just started getting back annually!
Stay and scream, for sure! You get released from stay and scream a few minutes early and you’re already in line for one of the houses while you’re in stay and scream.
@@ThePughTwo perfect, thank you! Looking forward to your next HHN video.
Thank you for all the tips. Yes, I see how all of that is awesome advise. This will be my third year and I'm so excited. But the biggest advise I have to take is the part of coming later in the day. It is just so hard for me not to be there when they open. But to do that and stay until 1:00 am or 2:00 am. Yep, my feet and legs want to do what in the world my head was doing. Can't wait for more HHN information!!!!
Haha it’s so easy to make that mistake when you’re so excited for the event, but it’s so true! We hope you have a great time at the event!!
6:55 This is my quote of the day!! 🤣 YALL ARE AMAZING!!
😂😂 you’re too sweet, we’re so glad you enjoyed this one!
14 days until my quick weekend trip at Disney... And then... HALLOWEEN HORROR NIGHTS MID SEPTEMBER!
Ahhhh! Thanks for the tips. I'm planning to spend a full day at Universal and then an evening at HHN. Thinking about getting a hotel for the night because it's going to be such a long day, and I remember driving back to Winter Garden (when I lived in Florida) after a late night. I don't think I'm going to have the strength to hustle back to my Disney Resort.
September 27th can't come soon enough, but I am definitely booking sapphire falls.
That’s so exciting!! We definitely recommend getting a hotel room, it just makes the end of the night so much easier! We hope you have an amazing time on your trip!
@@ThePughTwoI see Sapphire falls is available, but I don’t know if I want to spend 300$s for one night. Would you have any recommendations at one of the more value resorts??
Love the scare zone tip, Scare zone are some of my favorite parts due to the interactions with the scare actors.
Thank you!! We love the scarezones, too, they’re so much fun!
Great tips! I’ve never been to HHN and I’m hoping this year is the year I finally get to go!
That’s so exciting! We hope you have an amazing time!!
This is going to be my first hhn, and your videos have been amazingly helpful. I only have one night to get as much in as possible, these videos have helped me create a game plan.
I hope you have a great time! I hope it's a great first year :D
@Funnythings15 I'm so excited. The count down as started and thank you.
We hope you have an amazing time at the event!! We’re so glad our videos have been helpful, too!
I’m going to Hollywoods hhn for the first time this year!
That’s so exciting! We’re going out there, too!
I saw u guys irl Saturday in the park now I’m back home in Jersey 😭
That post-vacation sadness is real! We hope you get to come back soon!!
Great tip about wait times! Thanks.
Man I want to go to HHN again this year so bad.
I took my little brothers for the first time last year and we had the best time ever.
This year they nearly died in a car wreck it’s a miracle they are alive. And when they finally got home they said “we want to go back to HHN “.
Unfortunately we just can’t swing the price for all 3 of us to go.
We will return eventually. We made lifelong memories there.
Oh my gosh, we’re so sorry to hear that! We hope y’all are able to come soon 🫶🏻🫶🏻 and glad to hear your family is doing better!
@@ThePughTwo thank you.
yeah it was a horrific wreck. 90 mph into a corn field. Injuries were pretty bad Both boys broke their backs. And one brothers seatbelt broke and the car landed on his arm and head.
6 days after the wreck both boys got sent home. The only injury that’s gonna take some time is the nerves in the arm that was pinned under the car. All nerves were severed. It takes them awhile to heal but they expect in a few months it will be back to normal.
They are miracles.
Probably won’t make this year. But the goal is next year. They love watching me get spooked
Can’t wait to watch all the walk though videos !
Your suggestion of stay and scream, then go straight and do a few houses before those at the gates descend upon the houses (like a ravenous hoard of zombies?) is exactly what we were thinking of doing - we've got a few nights at HHN, and will target the houses on each night using a different stay and scream area. Awesome to see that our original vague plan is clearly a good one! Do a few houses, then take in the atmosphere of the various scare zones.
And gotta say, really do love your videos - so much enthusiasm, extremely well presented, and awesome from start to finish. Way better than anything from the official channel!
Haha yes that’s perfect! And thank you so much! We really appreciate all your support!
You guys are freaks with all that scare zone stuff 😂I like the rest of your tips
What, you don’t like the scare zones?? They’re the best! Lol
We’ve done all day in the parks thru HHN before. It totaled 18 hours straight. We won’t do that again. So much pain
It sounds like such a good idea beforehand, but it’s terrible 😂 we’ve been there!!
damm i really do miss HHN, went in 2015,2016,2017, and 2019. hopefully next year i can come back to Florida
We hope you get to come back soon, too!
@ThePughTwo do you reckon they'll bring back Last of Us next year?, so upset not to experience it this year 🙄 lol
Does staying at the hard rock hotel give express passes for the HHN houses?
No it does not. Or as far as i know never has. None of premier hotels do for hhn.
@@stevencoppola9556 Thanks much appreciated
No, that’s just for daytime!
I am so excited for my first HHN! Looking forward to all your videos & updates. Already taking notes! 🤓
It is worth researching. Can massively improve your experience
You’re gonna have so much fun!!
Do you think opening week will be crowded in Hollywood on Saturday? Even with the fast pass ?
It probably will! We’re not sure about with express, though!
Hi!
I love watching your videos every week! We just found out I am expecting and wondering if I will still be able to enjoy a trip to universal. Do you have a ride guide for expecting moms?!
We don’t, and we would suggest talking to your doctor about that!
Awesome video y’all!!! So you suggest 7PM for food? Just want to confirm- I can’t wait too long for food so I’d love to hit the food when it is NOT busy!
Exactly! We think that should be a perfect time!
Even though we don't go to HHN, yall gave some really good tips. I was impressed with the tips yall gave.
I learned something and ive been for years. Super helpful.
Thank you! We really appreciate you watching even though it’s not relevant to you!!
@@ThePughTwo You're welcome. I love watching yall even if the subject matter isn't up our alley. LOL. I've just really never been much for the halloween nights at Universal and Disney. But I will be watching yall's videos from yall's time there and several others that I watch.
We are taking the family to Universal for the time in November. We have been watching your videos to prepare! Thanks
Thanks for watching! We hope you have a wonderful time on your trip!!
Y'all have some mad t-shirt game! 🤩😎
Haha thank you!
Did the RIP tour with my son last year and we had 0 wait on all houses, got through them all in 3 hours including the show. Pricey but would never do it any other way.
The RIP tours are great if you can swing it!
Love the food advice. Going to try that one of the nights i do
We have an opening night Fat Tuesdays tradition. 🍹❤️ Start the night with a bit of liquid courage! 🤣
Haha we love it!!
I'm going on my first universal AND HHN trip this year because I'm a huge last of us fan and couldn't miss out on the house! but I am TERRIFIED of Haunted Houses and have only been in one. BUT this video made me feel more prepared and a little less freaked out! thank you!!!
That’s so exciting! I used to be terrified of all haunted houses, but HHN is my favorite thing ever! I think it’s scary in all the right ways, and not the ways that always made me hate haunts if that makes sense lol you’re gonna love it!!
Guys as usual another amazing hhn information did not expect nothing else from my fav 2 now anna ,,tyler the news use give the public can not be beat pure quality but the laughter always makes the video love use guys
Thank you, Dougie!! We’re super excited for HHN this year!
@@ThePughTwo you are very welcome Anna
Y’all
Make
The BEST VIDEOS! This was so helpful!!!!!!!
Y’all are so sweet!! 🫶🏻 we hope we can go through some houses with y’all this year!
This was so great!! This is my first time going in many years! We have APs but are going with two non APs, we bought express as that’s a no brainer! Should we pay extra for them to get stay and scream!? Thank you!!
Oh that’s so exciting!! If you’re only going one night, we would still take advantage of stay and scream to get a head start on the houses!
So funny! Helpful video. I'll be alone, so this really helped me know what I want to do.
Thank you! We hope you enjoy it, Melanie!
Great advice on tribute store. Absolutely on that
Still remember trick or treat scare zone. .my favorite of all time
You’re our favourite TH-camrs. We love your videos and are visiting from the UK in September. Hopefully see you in the fog 🌫 😊
Thank you, Mariah! We hope you have a great time on your trip, and we hope to run into you!
It was really nice meeting you guys take care of yourself!!❤❤
It was so nice meeting you, too!!
Meeting you guys was super fun yesterday, me and my sister both thought you guys were extremely nice. Also, great video as usual👏
Haha it was so nice meeting you, too! We hope you had a great day at the parks!
I’ve seen some people with unlimited express for HHN this year. Me and my wife got the after 11pm express for saturday, 9/23 and did 9 of the 10 houses done in that time frame.
You can purchase an unlimited express at the event, if express isn’t already sold out. It’s not cheap!
I've been planning our trip to HHN 32 and we can not wait! This will be our second year attending. Our first year was in 2022 and we loved it. We ended getting the lower tier express pass and got everything done plus more! Even saw a show and got the famous pizza fries and tators lol. Your videos were very helpful last year and I look forward to seeing more in these upcoming weeks! We will be going to HHN Sept 30th and that following Tuesday to enjoy the rides. Hope to see you in the parks :)
That’s so exciting!! We’re so glad our videos have been helpful, and we hope you have an amazing time this year too! We’ll be around, so if you see us come say hi!
I was wondering if you could please answer a HNN questions for me I’ve never gone, can general admission go on the bus tour?
So the bus tour is only at HHN Hollywood. We mainly visit HHN Orlando, but you don’t need express to go on the terror tram out in Hollywood. That’s only offered during HHN which you have to have an HHN ticket for. During daytime operations, they run their normal tram tour through the backlots and show you the cool sets where famous movies have been filmed. You just need a daytime park ticket for this, too.
I like your videos. We are coming with 2 small children at the end of October. Therefore we cannot go to the HHN. We want to go to the parks in the morning. Do you know how long they are open before HHN starts in the evening?
We come from germany
They will shut down Universal Studios at 5pm, however Islands of Adventure will be open later!
Thank you so much for the answer😊
We have done the RIP tour the last 4 times we have gone to HHN. I was disappointed the last 2 years so this year we are just doing the express pass route. I found the tour to be rushed through the scare zones and we zigzagged back and forth to the houses which was exhausting only to go to the “private bar” areas where we ended up sitting around for 45mins wasting time. Perhaps they’ve scheduled too many of these, and the guys are being told where to go and when. I just didn’t enjoy it, and by the time we got done, it was after midnight, and there was no time really to ride any rides because we were so tired from walking back-and-forth across the parks and not going in any semblance of order to the houses. The food at Cafe La Bamba was good but there was no opportunity to eat while on the tour. I hope you can do a real comparison between the RIP tour vs Express with the early admission add-on.
That’s interesting! We’ve never bought an RIP tour so we haven’t really experienced it ourselves!
Late watching this video. But we are going to this next month for the first time. So watching as many videos for tips as possible. Love yours the best. Question. Is the food expensive at HHN??
Thank you! Food at the theme parks is expensive in general, so we would say yes!
@ThePughTwo Thanks. Just want to make sure we have plenty of extra money for the food. 😊
I’m not gonna go to HHN but I still wanna watch this because your videos are amazing! And also because I might come here in the future.
Awh, you’re so sweet!! HHN is so much fun, and I watched videos of the event for a few years before I actually got the courage to go, so I get it! Lol
Hi, I have a question for the community. I will be travelling with my wife and son (12months at time of travel) from oct 30th to nov 4th. We are interested in some rides but mostly want to simply spend time in the parks and walk around. For a day or two we are willing to accept longer ride wait times in exchange for shorter security and entry line ups. Is there a time of day that has shorter security and park entry line ups?
(Hopefully this makes sense)
Thanks
Absolutely! Aside from right when the park opens, the line to get in isn’t usually long at all. At most 5 minutes maybe? The only time it really gets backed up is first thing in the morning!
Were so excited for our trip coming up in September!! It would be awesome to see you guys in the park and say thank you for helping us with every trip we make!!!
That’s so fun! We hope you have an amazing time and hopefully we run into y’all!
Can’t wait for your ranking before and after video!
We’re so excited to go through all the houses!
Awesome video y'all!
I can say we definitely made a couple of those mistakes last year, which was our first year. We may or may not have had to ice pack out feet at the hotel. Lol.
We actually found your video about the stay and scream area and ended up doing Richters for our last two nights there and it transformed our experience.
Can't wait for this year, thank you both for all the great tips and coverage!
Thank you, Ryan!! We’re so glad our videos were helpful last year, and we hope you have a great time this year too!
@@ThePughTwo Maybe we will get lucky and get to say hi to y'all while we are there. But we will definitely be doing our homework for stay and scream beforehand this year. It was a game changer last year for sure!
Keep the top tips coming for HHN it helps as will be our first time going this year can’t wait !!!
You’re gonna have so much fun!!
This is my first time in years and years. We are a few hours away and will be there Saturday morning through Sunday afternoon. We want to eat at Toothsome, right now we have a 4pm reservation should we make it for earlier?!?!?!
If you’re planning on doing stay and scream, we would suggest it! Otherwise you should be fine!
Oh, how the tides have changed! 😅 remember y'all entering UOR @ EPA, leaving @ closing time. Guess the pups appreciate your attention.
Haha they do! They appreciate being down the road too and not having to be boarded when we would travel to the parks!
I love your stranger things shirts ❤😂
It's one of my favorite shows
Haha thank you! We love it, too!
I have been going for seven years now and have learned that even with express it takes at least eight to ten hours to fully experience the whole event. I usually start at the tribute store, then make my way to two original houses ride a few rides see the fire show eat drink and then do the rest but express does wonders and saves lives
We completely agree! Express is your only hope of doing everything in one night
I’ll be honest, I never have enough time to go back to houses that I’ve already done (w/ express). It’s like from open to close, by the time I’m done with the last house, the park is closing. This year will be my 16th year. Thanks for the tips! A dog can never be too old to learn new tricks!
It definitely depends on the night and how things go. When we travelled down from TN and only had 2-3 nights at the event, we walked our hearts out trying to go through them all as many times as possible lol we’re so glad this one was helpful!
I'm so excited for HHN this year! Got my express pass already because I'm not making the same mistake twice 🤣
We are too!! It’s gonna be so much fun! And yes, express is so worth it! Lol
Going for 4 days for hhn hopefully. Definitely going to spend more time in scarezones. I went through with express somewhat early because I wasn't going to be staying the whole night.
That’s so exciting!! And that makes sense about express!
I will be going to Universal to celebrate my 30th birthday. I am located in Mexico, and this will my second time at the parks. Not only that, but I am traveling solo and going to HHN Opening night. I have been watching all of your videos to get a better sense of what I should do and not, thank you for that. You guys are amazing and I love yours videos. I really hope I come across your way, it would be more than amazing!!!!! >< YOU GUYS ROCK!
That’s so exciting! We hope you have an amazing time on your trip, and happy early birthday! If you see us, make sure you say hi!!
Here’s a question. Does the hotel express pass work for both hhn and normal day at the park?
The hhn express passes are different from the regular universal express passes!
No, just for daytime!
Any tips for going solo? My friend canceled so I will be going alone September 9th and 10th
We’ve made so many friends talking to people in line, so don’t be afraid to strike up a conversation!
just upgraded my HHN passes from single night to Frequent Fear plus passes thanks to y’all!!
That’s so exciting!!
Hi, if I buy a r.i.p tour ticket do I need to buy a hhn ticket too? And will I get to see all the houses with that tour .thanks
Unfortunately yes. The RIP ticket is kind of like express. It doesn’t actually get you into the event and you also need a ticket. And yes! All houses, scare zones, and shows are included with the RIP!
