Universal studios horror nights


         On Friday September 26, 2015 I went to universal horror nights. Ever year universal horror nights celebrates Halloween. This year their themes is based on horror movies and shows. At first I wasn't sure if I wanted to go or not because I was scared. Finally my mom convinced me to go. I went with my mom, aunt, my moms cousin and her two friends. I was so scared to go because the theme insidious was one of the themes and im scared of that movie. Their were like six mazes. The first maze that we went to was the purge. We walked to the purge maze and their was a little line so we went on the bus where it takes us to the maze quick. As we landed  they started scaring us, there was no way back so you were forced to continue walking forward till it ended. Everything looked so scary to me i though i wasn't going to be able to make it, we finally finished walking till the end. We took the bus back to be able to go to other mazes.
            Next stop was Insidious, that was the one i was most worried about. The lines were insane to get in it took us about an hour and twenty minutes to get there. When we were next i wanted to be in the middle of everyone, the song they were playing inside was just scary to me. As soon as we walk in they started  scaring us everyone was screaming we tried to walk fast but it seem forever. The maze it self was only about 3min it seem like hours to me. My mom was behind everyone since she wasn't scared of anything that she saw. As soon as we saw the light of the exit we ran. I actually enjoyed it, it was scary but fun.
             Then we went to a third maze the theme was the walking dead My moms favorite. the wait for that maze was even longer it took almost two hours to get in, by the time we got inside i was tired and ready to go home. This maze was one of the biggest of the park it had fourteen scary rooms. Everything seen so real. The walking dead is based on zombies, It was worth waiting that long. It was by far my favorite one.
             My mom tried going into a forth maze which was Michael Myers but i just couldn't wait anymore my feet were hurting so bad and i was sleepy, It was about one in the morning. My mom saw that i looked tired and said fine lets go home. My experience was great for it to be the first time and i wasn't as scared as i thought  i was going to be.
