	Midnight Crow 2:30pm, September 24, 2008 PROFILE - MESSAGE - REPORT Damn I wish we had The Strangers as a scarezone last year, although the movie was 'ok' I'm positive it's going to be awesome as a Scare Zone for HHN. I would suggest, if you have the money and time that you don't miss HHN it's always a blast! Sadly, I lack the budget to go this year.
