Unless there was a group chat I wasn't invited to, there wasn't one. Everything was planned last minute by someone else at my school, which my friend's girlfriend and ex doesn't go to (I think outside our city too).How does something like that even happen? Haha there wasn't an event page? A group chat? Did nobody converse with the other like "hey did you buy tix yet, cuz I ain't buyin until you buy!"
Just give me Battle Royale, and I'm sold (even though it doesn't really count and most likely will never ever come to the event. I guess there's some maze material? It's pretty much equivalent to seeing Get Out at HHN).Not really for this year but I wonder if we’ll see a “Horrors of Netflix” down the line. John seems to be taking a big liking in Haunting of Hill House
Eventually it starts to pick up and I would say that there is enough content for a house. But I'll wait till the thread for HHN2019 is made for me to discuss my thoughts on it.I'm only three episodes in, but I'm not sure if I'm into the "Haunting of Hill House" hype....at least not yet. The series so far (Hopefully it gets better) seems kinda slow, uninteresting, and slightly confusing. There's some nice scenic and a few characters they can work with, but I'm not really buying into the hype. Hopefully it will get better if I keep watching.

The question that sticks out to me: what motivates Netflix to promote this series next year? It doesn't seem like the type of property that's going to get a second season, so any haunt attraction would merely promote content that's been up on the service for a year+. Stranger Things makes sense because it moves merch and helps keep the brand alive as we inch toward the 2019 release of Season 3. (American Horror Story worked the same way, promoting new seasons by celebrating old ones.)
It's possible Netflix might just be interested in licensing it as a victory lap (they do love their prestige), but at that point, is Horror Nights itself really interested enough in the property?

If it's lower attendance that's a discount for not needing express in LA right?Tickets just raised to $104 for the next two Saturdays. This is $7 more than their original Front Gate price. Just taking advantage of all those kids that wanna see a mediocre Stranger Things maze, aren't ya, Universal?! bahaha
Now that I've seen Hween 2018, I still don't see why it wasn't done as a maze. All the plot points are hit in the trailer and even a good chunk of the kills. I thought there was going to be a crazy, unpredictable third act or something that's not even shown a tiny bit in the trailers, but if you've seen even pictures, you probably have an idea where it's going. [If anything, I wish they showed way less in the trailers.] Even with that said, I think it'd be hard to translate as a maze, not impossible by any means, but I think there'd be a lot of black walls to transition, and I can see the moaning already come 2019 or 2020 when they do this as a maze about how bare it is. I highly enjoy part 4 as a maze, so I don't mind.
I think by sheer numbers of people entering Stranger Things, it'll poll high -- it'll basically hit the right note with someone at some point, and that'll happen enough times with a high amount of people. I'm willing to bet it has at least a 90% conversion rate of everyone in the park, along with the Terror Tram. So the numbers are a bit skewed and judged unevenly, if say, 15k people go through ST a night, while only maybe 6k go through something like HOB.
