11 Tips For Halloween Horror Nights
Blogspot

The most thrilling, creepy yet fun event is here. This is not a drill, Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios is now open until the end of October. Every year on Halloween season, Universal Studios creates the most creepiest, scariest and funnest haunted mansions in all of America using themes of movies and series such as the most popular this year, The Walking Dead. Its definitely an attraction you can't miss. So, If you are going to be part of the thousands of people that attend each year, here are a few tips you might want to consider:

1. Parking is NOT free.

When planning for this awesome experience, make sure you do include parking fees on your expenses plan. Its about $20.00 per vehicle.

2. Eat before the fun begins.

Due to the amount of people that attend each year and the amount of attractions they have, the best tip I can give you is that you eat before actually entering Halloween Horror Nights. You wont want to miss anything and lines at the dinners are going to be longer than usual, so eat a heavy meal before having fun.

3. You will get scared.

Even the tough ones get scared... My tip is, use the safe spots. They have safe spots all over the park that you can take a breather every time you feel like you need to. You will not only get scared in the haunted mansions, but everywhere... You will understand once you get there.

4. Late nights are the best nights.

Many people get tired before the park closes and leave. So the best time to go to an attraction you did not go to during the night, is around 12:00pm-1:00am.

5. Its never too early.

The park will get crowded, get there early. Suggestion time, around 5:00pm so you have no problem whatsoever entering.

6. Mask and costumes ARE NOT PERMITTED.

Self explanatory but if you need another reason, they have enough people in costumes already, they don't need more people in costume. Plus, its for security reasons. They will NOT let you enter the park if you are in costume and your mask will be confiscated.

7. Travel Lightly.

They take security even more serious around this time of year. To avoid being stuck in long lines at security checkpoints, try and avoid backpacks and too much stuff on you. A wallet and your phone will do.

8. Strategy is key.

Have something pre-planned as to where you want to go first. Although I recommend that just be on the lookout for waiting times and just play with the times a little. Start by the most popular one and you won't have to worry about that one anymore during the night. Key word: alternate.

9. Be prepared to not take a break.

There are a lot of things to do on the park at this time. You can take a break later, if you want to see it all, you might as well not take a break. As the saying goes, "sleep is for the weak."

10. Don't get aggressive.

If you know you get aggressive when you drink alcohol, might as well not drink. If you get aggressive when you get scared, might as well control yourself. They will kick you out of the park if you touch or punch someone. The cast is not suppose to touch you, just scare you. So don't try use that as an excuse to punch someone either. I repeat, they WILL kick you out.

11. Finally, HAVE FUN!

Scream, Cry and sob, but most importantly, enjoy it and have fun. Don't say I didn't warn you. May the Halloween gods never be in your favor...

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
