[@scottvasquez1401]

This being the last hanging, they really went out on a high note. It begins with how the hangings used to be during the 70s, very straightforward, then it turns into the 90's with it's references. What really made it work is that the writers really understand what made the hanging from the early 2000's work, by having the references actually connect with one another making the satire smarter and more clever (unlike the previous year, in which the references came out of random). They really put their effort into this one and the surprise outcome of the hanging victim makes sense because it does signify the end of an era as we speak. Well done writers.

[@abagar2000]

Phew, finally! Let's see what's gonna happen this year. Update: Now that was a Hanging! It was great to see the show return to its supernatural roots, and we can thank the Origins maze for that. I loved how they tied the maze's lore to this show, and for once the pop culture references made sense! The storyline was fantastic, and the jokes were probably the best they've been in a long time. And I loved the devil character, he was so sarcastic and funny! The show did falter at parts, especially when the ice cream skit didn't start when it was supposed to, and the devil character fluffed his lines at some points, but it was opening night, so those kinks will definitely be worked out in the future, and everyone did a great job at keeping the show going. Also, even though it was expected, I was still shocked when (SPOILERS) the Lawman got hanged. Could this be the last year of the Hanging? If so, it definitely went out with a bang!

[@sethstrattan7380]

Well, there’s always a new lawman

Because of the ending (who gets hanged), does it mean that the hanging will not return next year?

[@CarlosBazanB]

The ending is part of the story of this year with combines The Hanging, the scare zone and the maze. But they have killed The Lawman before I think. In years where Freddy Krueger appeared on the show he killed everyone including the lawman. If theres a year that The Hanging will end I think it should be with an official announcement like Universal Orlando did with Bill and Ted with the Farewell Tour in 2017.

[@lucianoalonso4389]

I believe so that means no more hanging and they’ll have to replace them like waht the cut ing the dropping something has to replace the hang Spence it isn’t going to came back in 2020 but they’ll have to think of something.

[@lucianoalonso4389]

So many things they missed out on: R Kelly That guy from Empire The women main event at Wrestlemania 35 A.O.C. Robert Muller Dumbo

[@abagar2000]

The WrestleMania main event would've been perfect for the Hanging! And since Cedar Fair is decently profitable, I think it would've been great if they got Becky, Charlotte and Ronda to voice their parodied selves. Also, if they hung a celebrity this year instead of the Lawman, R Kelly would've been the perfect target.

[@VillymVanVanderbone]

I agree. I've been watching "The Hanging" since 2007 and found it fresh and entertaining up until 2012. Since then, beginning in 2013, the show has become lackluster (like "The Simpsons" after its first decade). It seems to be getting worse than the previous with each passing year. I didn't get the ending either, unless it is THE END - the demise of "The Hanging". It's not like it's gonna get any better next year if it happens to continue. Unfortunately, I have a feeling it will.

[@StormyStrikeVideos]

It's sad. It used to be so good and halrious. The past few years it's just taken a nose dive. The writing is really lack-luster and uninspired. Feels like the whole show was written in only a couple hours.

to be honest... this is too tame. I have seen MUCH more risky skits done for the hangings in the past years and not only this one but last years too. Both were... VERY tame and quite tiresome. The "Jokes" were a little to forced and i lost count of how many times lines were forgotten and sound effects were just off by a bit. Long story short... this one was very sloppy. Sorry Knotts... i wont be going to this show, only the mazes. Perhaps next year will show improvement.
