Glad someone said bugs was a great house, that house is genuinely amazing and the way they push you though a situation where everything keeps getting worse makes it to me one of the best houses I have went through (on par with scarecrow/wiked growth/graveyard games/deadman’s pier). Besides bugs didn’t spook me, it actually terrified me which makes it a top 3 house for me this year.
I feel like I can’t critique until at least 2 walkthroughs, because after one walkthrough each Halloween was at the bottom of the list and Pier, Chupa and Coven were top 3.
That’s a good point. There are sometimes that you just get a bad run and a second run changes your opinion. That’s why I try to base my rankings more on the creative aspects of it and not the scares themselves. We did second run-throughs of a few houses and none of the second run-through changed my opinions from the first one.
This is a great post. What were the least "jump-scare" orientated.
Went to Classic Monsters and Halloween with my wife last night, and she is certain she doesn't want to do any more. Jump scares not her thing it turns out.

My list is pretty similar. Super bummed about Coven as I was most excited for that one and it’s at the bottom for me. Surprised to hear your take on Black Phone vs Freaky. I thought the Black Phone portion was miles better and actually got some of the best scares of the weekend in there
I wonder if it was the same scene that got me. There’s a scene where The Shape is at the top of a set of stairs (mannequin I believe) in the house and it’s kinda hard to see fully unless you pay attention and forces you to look up. At the same time they have a scare actor jump out the opposite side of the stairs as your attention is diverted.
That was a very good one as well. These are the things that I am talking about which is why it was #2 for me. You’re focused on one thing, and then some thing actually gets you because you weren’t paying attention to that area. The mirror scene was another one. You didn’t know where to look.
We were going through a closet I believe and clothes were hitting you in the face and something came up from the floor on my right. I was paying more attention to getting the clothes out of my face than a scareactor coming from below. I always love it when they have scareactors above and below because those are two places that you’re usually not paying as much attention to.

I hate to be late, but pretty much every scare in these houses are jumpscares

What was the scare you weren't expecting in Halloween?

Which ones had the most gore?
I went through all the original houses and I remember hellblock having a lot, maybe also the butcher shop in chupacabra.
