Opening Night Of

It seems like #HHN27 just ended yesterday, but we are back at Universal Studios Orlando for opening night of #HHN28. This year looks to be the best possible year of Halloween Horror Nights. We take you through the scare zones in the daylight and give some house reviews and feedback on the event. More to come in future videos!
Watch the show! Wear the shirt! Shirts are available through Spreadshirt. Check them out here: viewfromthechea...

Also thanks for being a genuine person. We really enjoyed the video we like seeing it from a regular person's point of view as opposed to media events. It gives you more of a feel for the atmosphere.

[@hizzlemobizzle]

Well, let me give you a true from the cheap seat perspective. As an annual passholder we were allowed early entry. We were funneled to the back of the park to Dead exposure and slaughter cinema. The line for SC was already 50 minutes so we chose dead exposure. It was well named because 25 minutes with no cover in the most oppressive heat you could imagine led many of us to near death from exposure. The nice part was that, as you can see from the video, there were not a lot of people so we made our way to Blumhouse. We still had exclusive access to the house so wait was not bad. Got through it ok and left to see the Killer Klown zone. It was still light, but still I loved this zone. Next stop was to get a bite to eat and wait for the sun to start to go down. We ate, sun started to go down, and out we go. Holy crap! There was a mob of people like you would find in a star trek episode (you know the one). Lines for houses were averaging 90 minutes. Scare zones were almost unrecognizable due to the sea of humanity, sweating, and bumping into each other hoping in vain to find a cool stop to recover. We then made the mistake of going into the HHN tribute store. I have seen less aggressive action in a roller derby match. Once inside you were stuck until your fellow cattle managed to push itself though to the outside. It kind of reminded me of a who concert I went to long ago when I was almost crushed by a mob trying to get out into the vending area between shows. I could tell you about the street shows, however I could not get close enough to tell you much. I think one stage had some hobos dancing to Thriller and another had a talking doll that I think caused it to thunder somehow. I assume it was a doll because it seemed to be in a colorful package. So, to sum it up. Insanely hot, frighteningly crowded and other than that a great time.

[@craigwynne8205]

I went to HHNs in 2012 .. it was amazing ... I agree with the lines ...what can you do .....this years looks lit .....I bought a walking dead t shirt that year .... really like the tshirts this year ....looked online :)

[@dmt198]

my first horror nights was 2007 carnival of carnage. went on a saturday and it was SOLD OUT, couldn’t get tickets at all and it wasn’t nearly as crowded as you see it now. even 2008, 2009 wasnt as bad. its sad how its changed over the years. and they keep taking aways perks for pass holders as well. i can honestly say they may be my last horror nights :(

[@fluffyhales]

The intro had me in stitches 😂😂😂 the shrimp doing the RVD action was subtle but hysterical.

[@63zomg]

My favorite time of the year! When these videos start coming out! Huge fan!

[@Tamtam-xk9vi]

Was not disappointed at all with the Killer Klownz scare zone!!! Looking forward to more HHN 28!!!

[@ReccaWolf]

Revenge of Chucky, Killer Klowns, and Vamp 85 looks really awesome this year as scare zones. Chucky looks great for 30 years. ;)

I have been waiting all day for the HHN videos!!! Thank you! Your videos make it look not that scary to a scaredy cat like me 😂😂😂

[@ViewFromTheCheapSeats]

There’s a lot of milder content this year!

[@skscott34]

ViewFromTheCheapSeats Yep I think it's the 80s themes that is making it like that. Very nostalgic. I liked the years when they had the Purge and the Icons.

[@claytonjones3011]

I enjoy watching your videos exspecially during Halloween keep them coming.

[@kylestonelake414]

Thanks for the awesome comprehensive coverage! I’d literally watch a 6 hour live stream of this since I can’t be at the event

[@BabySmileyBean]

I have to say, the news lady(and camera man) had me laughing. Loving vamp 85!

[@paul08211973]

17:17 Gotta love Jess' unbridled and emotion filled review of Seeds of Extinction "It Sucked!!"

[@jimgrote304]

I'm a little embarrassed to admit how often I've checked in this morning/afternoon to see if you posted your video - now, off to watch!

[@edwindrood2816]

Woo, thanks Kyle! You do a great job of showing off what you can see walking around

[@djacgators1]

Awesome. That big baby w/ the tattoo is pretty daggum creepy! Can't wait to see more!

[@eddunaway5398]

Halloween hoore nights looks great the dancers at the 1985 stage was great and great music Chucky's show and scare zone was neat

[@Omarencarnacion1]

Duuude! in one word "amazing" love it bro thanks for the tour

[@BostonMikeTravelandAdventure]

As always you guys are my favorite channel!!! Love the honest opinions!!!

[@danielles7206]

Vamp '85 performers were amazing. Thanks for including that.

[@jeffreysadventure4184]

I love like five minutes from this right now

Always enjoy your videos and scare zones with some maiden hell yeah!

Wooooo!!! Lots of fun had and to be had!!!! Great vid!

[@iDelanex]

I've been waiting all year for this video. The hype is real

[@pokeyporter6444]

I loved the For Whom the Bell Tolls opening Perfect song for hhn

[@fransiscomarrujo629]

Kyle, I freaking love you dude. Everytime you talk about Trick r Treat you bring up the mini maze We did at Midsummer Scream! Thank you so much for talking about it! Much love from Murder House Productions!

[@pokeyporter6444]

Mini mazebis awesome

[@ViewFromTheCheapSeats]

Francisco Marrujo Oh no! I forgot to link to that video. I’ll throw a link in that spot when I get back home tonight. I genuinely loved your house! You guys rule!

[@fransiscomarrujo629]

You rule dude! Thanks to you I get to experience Orlando!

[@Emma-vx2ru]

I love this video, how you filmed, you filmed as though I was there, how I would see it standing there, I really got to see what the event and atmosphere was like. You were far away enough away from things to see it as a whole, you were not filming too closely. You didn't only show your face the whole time, not getting the environment on film, like some people on here, which I appreciate, thank you for your content.

[@ViewFromTheCheapSeats]

Thank you so much for the incredibly kind comment.

[@psandoval65]

Im too poor to ever go somewhere like this, so thank you very much for posting great videos like this so I dont miss out on cool stuff like this, cause im from Texas and we've got nothing like this over here.

[@kweller3117]

Awesome! Thank you so much for these videos

[@CloudyOboro]

I wish I could go but my parents like 'No!! It's To Expansive!!!' But Mooooommmmm!!!!!! Daaaaaaaddd!!!!! What if The Boogeyman (Michael Myers) Is There!?!?!?!?!?!?

[@jimgrote304]

Fun video, you guys really covered a lot of ground! Strong praise for Slaughter Sinema and Carnival Graveyard - with all of the focus on the IP's this year, it's interesting that two original houses are in "best ever" contention! Looking forward to hearing what you think about Stranger Things (saw a walk through and the production values are tremendous, even if the scares are not) and Poltergeist. Have a great time!

[@bobbyswanson3498]

Jim Grote I think there’s less attention to ips, half the haunted houses are original this year

[@jimgrote304]

Mystical Hippo I wasn't talking so much about the number of IP vs. original houses, so I apologize for not being clearer about it. What I meant was that - for good or for bad - this is the "Stranger Things HHN": the marketing, the merchandise, the special food & drink options, they're built primarily around the show, with even the other IP's playing second fiddle. You want a t-shirt with Michael Myers on it? Here, he's on this one...being dwarfed by Eleven and a demogorgon. I think it's safe to say that the event's overall 80's theme was developed after Universal was able to land ST, rather than the other way around. And, to be honest, that makes sense: it's a hugely popular series. The house looks great from what I've seen of it (the set design is too-notch) even if it may not look to be the scariest, but I'd expect Universal to pull out all the stops for their signature maze. So, to hear Kyle praise 2 of the original mazes so highly was pretty cool - they not only weren't treated as throwaways, they apparently stand on their own really well. I think that's awesome.

[@R.I.PDanny]

So, I’m in the Halloween house I did see you. You called me out by where I was. But tonight I found out that Friday was the biggest opening night in the history of horror nights. So that probably explains the chaos. Looking forward to everyone’s coverage of the event due to I will not really get to experience the event a lot this year. Oh! So I’ve been able to experience slaughter house and seeds of extinction. Slaughter is a lot of fun to go through but not scary. Seeds on the other hand... well I though the idea of planets scaring you was lame but.. Boy was I wrong scares were on point and fantastic house love the set design in both houses for that matter. I’m going to try and see all of them before the event ends.

[@bearwboots8839]

Lmao vamp 85 looks like they went to party city got a bunch of 80s costumes and threw some fake blood on them.

[@dolores_madrogal7709]

V

[@aaronthebox]

Well the 80’s were kind of corny, so I’m sure that’s what they were going for!

[@BallsInMyCup_]

Bear And Boots the scare actors in this zone were very fun and animated though. the party atmosphere and occasional unexpected scare made Vamp 85 my favorite this year

[@zaneysvids8851]

That would be the greatest maze of all time.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend HHN this year, so I'm looking forward to these videos to see what Universal came up with.

[@shannaa101]

I'm going to Orlando from the UK next month, I'm wondering if it will be worth the money to go or not because of the long time waits

[@guadalupeflores9825]

Shannon Spooner I go every year but to the one in Hollywood and I’ll say this, it’s best to go on a Sunday because the lines won’t be that long. Last year I was able to get through everything before the park even closed and got to get onto rides as well! It’s worth going I feel like you’d love the experience especially if it’s your first time going.

[@salrodriguez7052]

I think you should splurge and get a fastpast they’re 80 dollars but the lines are soooo much shorter. When I went to the Jurassic Park Ride the normal wait time was 2 hours and and the fast past wait time was 30 minutes.

[@johnnybone1972]

2 weeks and I'm there, can't wait!!

[@gambit5667]

Tips for killer klowns from outer space, tell them that they are your favorite vampires just be quiet and walk on the sidewalk or just be quiet and don’t ever run they chase you also don’t look weak like don’t hide that makes u a target

[@paopao9222]

This looks way better than the one in Hollywood

Killer klowns omg😁 I wish I was there.

[@JohnMassari]

Same here

[@brandonjones9998]

When "Shoot to Thrill" came on I was expecting someone in an Iron Man suit to walk up on stage

[@willt8006]

I agree about the crowds Kyle. I think last night was the worst I have ever seen it both on the streets and in the express lines.

[@PrincessAlmondEyes]

I wonder why it’s so bad. Do you think it’s just over sold?

[@mariemarie6778]

Princess Almond Eyes stranger things

[@hizzlemobizzle]

The more popular it becomes the more crowded it gets. They either need to expand to both parks or allow fewer people. Instead they try to price it out of reach for most, but it's not working.

[@gissneric]

That's the problem with Disney's Halloween party too. It's getting so popular and so crowded. I think both parks are overselling too much tickets.

[@imsosexyandicannotlieyeee8417]

I’m express

[@themoldysandwich773]

Nobody films horror nights like view from the cheap seats!

[@stevieboi4380]

Sweet I love Halloween

[@pacifybubbles6306]

11:33 idk I can't stop laughing at this

[@aphoticphoton]

Just curious.........Do most scare actors make it a thing to kind of avoid doing a scare on camera like or it just so happens that they rarely do any scares while directly at you?

[@vintagegal7376]

There are a few channels posting the actual interior of the houses and I have to say that Poltergeist looks the best but all the houses are pretty amazing this year visually. The Vamp 85 scare zone has so much potential but the fact that they have alive celebrities as vampires is pretty cheesy. I wish they made it like a huge dance party for everyone. The best imo is Killer Klowns & Chucky. I love how the Klowns walk slow like they do in the movie and the Chucky stage show is great. Universal really needs to reduce the amount of tickets they sell each night -- they are really endangering their employees and the attendees by not doing so. Hooray for HHN!

[@bobbyswanson3498]

Angie K I love how the clowns are all bigger and taller than everyone

[@MiddleAgedOnMainstreet]

Ok so every year we see videos from HHN and think , nah looks too gruesome and it's not for us. This year looks amazing. Granted we grew up in the 80s so that didn't hurt. I think the Duran Duran song I heard in the background and the Chucky doll sealed the deal. LOL. We're going on a disney cruise the 15th and have tickets for Mickeys Halloween party so we'll have to do this the next nigh!

[@ViewFromTheCheapSeats]

There is a lot of 80s goodness this year!

[@MiddleAgedOnMainstreet]
