Halloween Horror Nights '19 General Discussion

[Spookies n' Stuff]

I wouldn't doubt the Jabbas coming back. Then again, I never watched any of the shows at HHN (except for Bill and Ted in '07), so I'm apathetic about what they bring for that format.

its funny, I've gone who knows how many times since 2015, but I only saw the Jabbawockeez once

 

[Viator]

I wonder if Jabbowockeez will return this year considering last year’s show was kind of... meh.

I've always heard thatt they get rated highly in GSAT's quite often during the times they appeared during HHN. Honestly, I'd think it'd depend on simply contractuals, as I'd think they would likely now be at the point of renegotiating after being at the event since 2015.

I’d trade Jabbas for an updated Slaughterworld any day, I doubt we’ll see it any time soon though because they’ve been using the Waterworld queue for the past few years

 

[Horror Lover]

In a perfect world, we'd get Bill and Ted, Rocky Horror or a Beetlejuice show in the SES Theater.. I also wouldn't mind a spooky vaudeville show involving magic tricks, ventriloquist dummies, hypnosis, dark illusions etc..

Someday I would like to see some IP shows. Heres my idea that involves some ips.
This show is like a survival show. The show determines who is going to survive. Who will survive (Lets be honest, they're all gonna die). A crazy show host has captured some of the IPs this year, and are being used for his show to kill his victims (Demodogs, Ghosts, Firefly Family, Killer Klowns, Wolfman, and Frankenstiens Monster). The show is to determine who will survive. Will everyone survive?
Throughout the whole show, we see the contestents being slaughtered by them. Demodogs tear them apart, Wolfman rips a man's throat, Ghosts playing around their victim until they eventually kill them, Killer Klowns kill by using acidic pie, and Frankenstien snapping a neck. (I honestly can't think of a gory kill for him that is fitting for him)

Welp there you have it. What do you guys think?

I'd love to see a horror musical come replace the Wockeez. Specifically, if they brought Little Shop of Horrors, Phantom of the Paradise, or Evil Dead the Musical, I'd definitely make some time to see the show.

You had me at Phantom of the Paradise! Even if it's considered extremely niche (when placed in the context of the vast majority of HHN guests who aren't forum readers, die-hard film fans, or haunt enthusiasts) I feel like it's style and unique atmosphere would be enough to garner a lot of interest in a show at HHN

Maybe just a good old fashioned "group seance" with an Elise Rainier actor? Just a short play with pyrotechnics and lights, sort of like the Insidious Experience a few years back. Wouldn't have to wrangle with rights.

[Armando Munoz]

Of course. Things can always change. The best example Hollywood side would be the loss of The Conjuring in 2017. He had already written the treatment when it went south so he had to write the treatment for Titans of Terror to replace it.
By far the best example over the course of the whole event is Scream at hhn 25 in Orlando that was already constructed and the rights were pulled very late in the game (August I believe)

Nothing is set in stone until it’s announced

Didn’t Murdy say that TOT was planned from the beginning? I swear I saw it in a tweet.

Welcome!

Also, I think he did say something like that, but he might've been referring to the Titans of Terror Tram also.

It definitely was a replacement but they always have backup houses in case something falls through so that's maybe what he meant, he also could've been talking about terror tram.

 

[Armando Munoz]

You’re right. He was probably talking about TT. Thank you!

Welcome!

I remember sometime late December 16 or January in 17 Murdy tweeted something about writing a maze after he had tweeted that he had finished writing. That is when The Conjuring was lost and TOT started.

Conjuring was lost in May. Titans had started in May.

off topic, but i just saw a thursday screening of brightburn, and i personally liked it. tbh, there are several scenes in there that'll work for a very good maze. you guys think it might work?

Not unless in a mashup. And unless it becomes a cult classic in the future I don’t think we’ll ever see it

Plus that old bugbear of horror nights: kid actors.

fair enough, just thought it'll be a neat maze, since there's tons of brutal and scary scenes in it. though, the maze will be very effects worthy, and probably go over budget tbh xd.
