Mr. Crepsley, Madam Octa, and ME at Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights!

Hey gang! I’m back from vacation and back with you. Last week, Hart County was on Fall Break and I took the opportunity to visit Orlando, FL so that I could experience the most spooktacular event that I know of in the world! Universal’s annual Halloween Horror Nights is a super-scary experience that no horror fan should miss. Well, horror fans who are willing to have the living daylights scared out of them, anyway! 

I’ll have to say one of the highlights of my trip was finding out that HHN had constructed a Cirque du Freak scarezone in addition to all the cool haunted houses. Honestly, I’ve been scared to post this because I’m afraid Mrs. Martin may never forgive me for going! I’m a big fan of Mr. Shan, but she is a MAJOR fan! As you can see in the picture above, I got to meet their Mr. Crepsley and Madam Octa which was REALLY awesome for me! Madam Octa was really moving in that box! My sister and I also got chased by some random vampires, spooked by a creepy announcer and got some pictures of Mr. Tall, Evra the Snake Boy, Rhamus TwoBellies, and Madame Truska! Overall, VERY nifty! I always enjoy seeing books brought to life when it’s done right.

As a little bonus, you can click HERE and go to the Apple site where you can watch a behind-the-scenes featurette that I think you’ll enjoy! There is some COOL stuff in there! If that isn’t enough, you can always go back to my previous post about this movie to watch the movie trailer again.

So, how many of you are planning to run out and see this movie when it opens next weekend? I certainly want to very badly! Leave your thought and reactions in the comments!
