What do you guys think about the HHN Unofficial Alien rumor

What do you guys think about the HHN Unofficial Alien rumor

Already addressed, it's probably being reused for a house (or something else) and they're likely gonna retheme it probably. Even HHN Unofficial states they're taking it with a huge grain of salt.

As much as I want to see Alien and Predator have their own houses at HHN, its likely not possible, there could have been a time but now its not likely, I mean I'm thankful we at least got an VS house at 24, that was as good as we were going to get to see those two at HHN and in the same house.

Possible.

Universal owns a vehicle called an Unimog they'll use as a prop every so often. It was previously used in AVP, and still had the Weyland-Yutani logo on. Someone saw the vehicle and got excited.

Can’t say Vikings aren’t scary and then say Get Out is.

All in opinions my friend.

 

[Parkscope Joe]

Kinda sad there won’t be a Blum house this year. Is that weird?

No...

:trash:

We actually had that same discussion on here around February. It’s just a reuse of a prop - but that isn’t an exciting story.

I mean Alien is a Disney property now lol, we’ll never see anything based on those movies at HHN ever again, I would guess. Maybe I’m wrong?

And, if you really break down a lot of what Uni does, the vast majority of it isn’t “Halloween.” A good bit of it, at first blush, isn’t scary. It’s all in how it’s presented.

Very true. It could be argued that most of what they do is not "halloween" themed. Maskerade, Survive or Die, Lair of the Banshee, Invasion, even the Purge.. nothing to do with Halloween or "traditional horror" but made some pretty cool zones. I'm actually excited for Vikings now.

And looking at IPs. None of the “Big Three” (Freddy, Jason, Leatherface) slashers are Halloween-oriented. Alien. Child’s Play. Zombieland. House of Thousand Corpses. Creepshow. Pet Semetary. IT. Shining. Exorcist. Krampus.

Or favorite original houses. Body Collectors. Nightingales. Dollhouse of the Damned. Catacombs. Screamhouse. Psychoscarepy. Leave It To Cleaver. In-Between. Havoc.

I could literally name a hundred things Universal has done that aren’t “Halloween."

Havoc was amazing! Hades was great too. And kind of in the same realm as Vikings in the sense of fantasy/mythology. I really think Vikings will be good.

I wonder if the people complaining that Vikings aren’t Halloween are the same clamoring for Get Out every year.

For the record, I wasn't "complaining" - I was simply asking a question for perspective. In my mind, I wouldn't have ever been thinking.. hmmm, what would be really scary? Oh, I know! Vikings! No. So, I threw out the question. Could do without the attitude.

Fully agree.. but they are all horror.. "Vikings" aren't horror. I never should've used the phrase "it isn't really Halloween".. I should go back and say "horror"

What about Hagar the "Horror"ble?

Anything can be horror depending on how you use the concept.

You aren't thinking outside the box. Vikings are savage fat dudes with weapons who kill everything in sight, scarecrows aren't scary in nature but the maze made them terrifying. Vikings are a concept I'm surprised we haven't seen before on the event.

 

[DannyPowers]

Case in point. Draugr (un-dead vikings) from God of War.

"Toys" aren't horror. "Dolls" aren't horror. "Scarecrows" aren't horror. "Doctors" aren't horror. "Patients" aren't horror. "Plants" aren't horror. "Fairy Tales" aren't horror. "Hotels" aren't horror. "Children" aren't horror. "Schools" aren't horror. "Fish" aren't horror. "Cowboys" aren't horror. "Santa" isn't horror. "Clowns" (really) aren't horror. "Ushers" aren't horror. "Story Tellers" aren't horror. "Movie Directors" aren't horror. "Soldiers" aren't horror. "Statues" aren't horror...

The fact that, of all of the ideas Universal has presented in its near three decades, "Vikings" appears to be the sticking point on what is and isn't horror (with a number of people), astounds me. If the basis for what can be "become" horror is simply intimidating/unknown, then... well...



Good luck walking through that hell...

Pretty sure regular, actual vikings were pretty terrifying to those they were raiding.
