Halloween Horror Nights 28 General Discussion

[Robert Bliss]

Last year I would have liked Invasion more if it had been a precursor to a crashed alien ship house. I like the idea of a house spilling out into the street.

That feeling has been present the last couple of years...The team is obsessed with the 80's haha

True. I’m glad it’s a throwback year though, I just need at least 1 ultra cheesy house or zone

Would now be a good time to say that AoV still has a strong relationship with Universal Orlando? No? Oh well..

ooh, an AoV house could be tight.

Quick question but wayyyyyy back early in speculation Nightmare on Elm Street was said to be leaked for this year and was said to be locked back in August; so could Lost Boys not be coming? This year’s speculation is so hard to follow but it’s interesting

Academy of Villains, will never be a house.

All I'm saying, is especially when you are starting to see them outside of the typical HHN flair, makes me think their partnership has strengthened since Irma. And that I would say it's very plausible that you guy's have them for another year, as they seem to be crowd-favorites.

That said, Christopher Ripley posted something interesting..

I think if Alice Cooper + Penn & Teller can be a house, anything can.

I think you need to differ Music Houses away from the monstrosity of Penn and Teller.

That said, 2012 and 2013 was a weeird period of time. Some good, some bad.

That said, I have not heard anything of an Academy of Villains house. But that I wouldn't be shocked if it's year 3 for them as a show, as they are insanely popular in that front.

Yeah I imagine they won't get a house this year, but as the years go on and they become a staple of the event, I could see it. Still don't know how B&T never got a comedy house.

Because some things don't translate well outside of what they are originally intended to be?

Plus, how the seven blazes would an Academy of Villains house work? It'd be the equivialent of having a maze to where actors are dancing as they scare you.

I mean, just create a story for them. Maybe they're an icon's disciples or something. I just think it'd work out if they had a show with better pull one year or something.

I’m so happy Trick ‘r Treat is *hopefully* becoming a house. I’m hoping it won’t pull an AvED and kinda bomb with the GP, but I think it’ll be a hit since the zone last year was zone of the year.

Trick r' Treat, if that is what is being announced, wouldn't bomb when you consider this, how simple the concept is, and how easily marketable it is.

It's celebrating Halloween, in it's own macabre and twisted way. And even if the General Public don't catch onto the character of Sam, they will catch the themes and nods to Halloween, and how it's culture fits for Halloween Horror Nights.

I think it's a win if that is happening, but who am I to say things..

There's some debate as to how well known it is--someone suggested that some guests might've thought it was an original--but I would be super excited about TrT.

Fairly certain Ripley is a week off on teasing announcements.

Or Universal is so embarrassed by their own new ride they’re desperate to change the subject already?

Considering everyone seemed to LOVE the zone last year, I think we'll be fine.

And AvED bombed because it was an awful house. Let's be honest with ourselves

I mean, they do have The TODAY Show out at Universal too so perhaps they may just strike while TODAY is there?

I know several people (myself included) that had A TON of fun with that house. Not very scary by any definition...but a lot of fun.

I wanted to like it, as I love the character/ED...but woof.
