Halloween Horror Nights 28 General Discussion

[Robert Bliss]

So... Let me try to share some information to feed speculation without giving away the goat.

- I've heard about a new house location this year.
- Including Dead Exposure, I've heard details on five potential originals. One is extremely likely (95%). One is very likely (85%). I have no reason to doubt the other two yet.
- I can see one of the potential originals MAYBE actually being an IP.
- I'm confident (90%) on two unannounced IPs.
- I'm 75% confident on one other IP.
- There are 2 IPs I'm 50/50 on.
- Everything else, including some expected favorites, I'd chalk as longshots.

Man, it really sounds like a 10th house is possible and going from 2 originals to 5 possible originals is crazy in a good way.
The two 90% IPs must be AHS and TrT
75% I'm going with a NoES, hopefully 3
50% Halloween
50%I have no idea. I'll just say Lost Boys because I like it better than Poltergeist.

Romero scare zone?

As for originals, I haven't a clue and can't wait to discover more.

What if The Lost Boys is coming as a scarezone as opposed to a house? I’ve always felt like the property would work better as a zone, particularly in New York or San Fran. Also, being that we had two IP scarezones last year, I’d say it’s likely we’ll get a couple this year as well.

If it's the one I'm thinking of, I think they'd be better off staking the claim as an original, rather than coughing up the money for the IP rights.

I think doing this for more IPs than usual would work this year. Stranger Things is going to have a HUGE mainstream pull, you really don't need any other big IPs, except one or two that cater more to horror fans.

If we got Freddy I would flip. It’s a quintessential 80’s horror flick. Everything else is gravy.

Even though I’m not a huge fan of NOES, I love the prospect of it as a house for all the cool practical effects.

Especially if we got NoES 3, then they could re-use a lot of stuff from FvJ. I would love to see those effects, I never did FvJ and didn't know about the NoES 3 section.

I did both Orlando and Hollywood’s FvJ and there was a lot of fun stuff! But neither houses - from what I remember - included my favorite scenes: the bathtub and the long ass arms.

YES. Also wouldn’t mind at least one reference to the weird middle child NoES 2. Maybe Freddy coming out of the kid, like how he does in the bedroom scene.

I'm thinking of something else.

EDIT - To clarify. There's no real question on that anymore.

I don’t know what to make of this. Whether to be bummed out or excited. I’m pro hopefulness so I’m going to very, very, cautiously lean toward excited until otherwise.

My exact thoughts regarding The Thing.

 

[Felipe]

He really kept this one going, so maybe it is a clue after all...? "Face melting" Scarezones.

Robocop?

I would dig it.

 

[Robert Bliss]

Does anyone happen to know if we might be headed to space? With Alien/s and The Thing seemingly out, I am sad there mat not be a spaceship to explore or at least see.

Acid Assault 2?

 

[Returning-The-Reaction]

Acid Assault 2?

Hopefully not.

Face melting reminds me of the awful masks from Containment. I'm hopeful they have something better in mind for this year.
