How about starting without the HoH mod? I think the new patch will come soon and i for my part never got an attack from a horror in all my mp and test games.
The thing with the mod is that once used, we can't kick it after the patch. So we've to deal with lousy horrors till the end of the game.
I'm pretty sure the host can change the mod, and the change will be in effect in the game even if it has been started, so there should be no problem.
