What does Halloween Horror Nights offer, that other venues do not?
- One of the amazing things about Universal, has been that they have always been amazing at creating the moment in which you are fully engaged. Over the years we have attended, and one of our most amazing moments was their Camp Crystal Lake maze, when you entered the woods section it felt, looked, and smelled like the woods. Then you entered a cabin and found Jason stabbing a metal rod through a male body, another female body, and then through a bed. When you entered, he jerked the rod, and blood sprayed out from between the body. and then the female body, an actor, started screaming. The lady in front of me almost had a heart attack. Only Universal could hit horror to this level.

What does Dark Harbor offer, that other venues do not?
- The Queen Mary isn’t a theme park, or a movie studios that are perfect at setting a scene. Sometimes that can cause issue with their mazes, but the thing that they do know is ghosts. All year long the venue hosts ghosts hunts, and many people believe the boat is actually haunted. This causes quite a feeling when you enter the mazes. Additionally they know what they are doing to play with those feelings. We once got a little turned around, and were all alone in a maze. We were going to turn around, and out of no where a haunting voice told us to turn back around, and I swear we could not find the employee. We were really impressed with how much they cared about the feeling you had as you walked through the property.
