Not sure what has gone on the last two nights, but apparently the crowds are large and rowdy? There are scareactors and team members taking to social media reporting they are being harassed, and, in some cases, assaulted. How hard is it to go to a public event and just be a decent human being?
On Wednesday the 10th I noted above that the crowds were pouring in across the bridge and it was more rowdy then the other nights I attended. The alcohol was flowing and drink lines were long.
I had two incidents that happened to me that evening.
1. While I was in express line for Trick ‘r Treat a young couple who were behind me in line who had been drinking decided to let loose with a not so pleasant stream of inebriated consciousness that turned physical as the girl 3 times hit be in the back when she was flailing her arms. Not an excuse me or nothing. I finally turned around and told her if she hit my back one more time I was going to security. She then apologized. I asked them to take a step back away from me.
While going through the house her boyfriends hand got a little to close to my face when we were going through curtained area and I was ready and saw it and swatted it away.........unbelievable.
2. When I was getting on boat to go back to SF a fellow who had to much to drink stepped on my heel of my tennis shoe and I came out of my shoe and almost fell. He raced past me without so much as an I’am sorry. I had enough and I walked right up to him and said how rude of you.
So, yes it was rowdy that evening. I feel sorry for the Scareactors that someome would be so hurtful and rude to harass or hit them........it always seems there are a few bad folks who don’t know their limits with alcohol that ruin things for everyone else.
The crowd that evening seemed to be mostly in the 20 - 30 year range with a few older people like myself mixed in.
Definitely the rowdiest night of all the nights I attended.
That being said, I think HHN is a fun event for all who love all things Halloween....I respect the dedication that the Scareactors give to this event. They are a big factor in the event and should not have to be concerned for their safety.
I think HHN is the best movie quality haunted house and Scare Zone event in the US. It has without a doubt the best Scareactors. I will not let one bad night of many visited on this trip keep me from coming back.
