Halloween Horror Nights '19 General Discussion

[HORRORable Commenter]

All i want is a Medusa, and a Minotaur in the maze.

Imagine a modern setting, with hyper realistic versions of these characters, and an original soundtrack by a famous artist or band (Metallica?). Think a cross between welcome to my nightmare and universal monsters.

Maybe we should start theorizing on what Pandora's box is. Do you guys think it'll be Greek period, or a modern day retelling of the stories?

I would hop that it would be set in ancient Greece. That would make for a really pretty maze! My best guess would be a modern setting either at a museum or an archaeological site with the story being that the box (jar) was thought to just be legend but it was discovered and resulted in the evils being unleashed. Then again, it honestly could just be a name and has nothing to do with the story of the maze at all

I would prefer an Ancient Greece setting, but I would be willing to compromise on half and half. Maybe have a story where the kid finds Pandora’s Box in the parents’ basement and gets sucked into the Parthenon underworld. Basically, a Greek Hellraiser.

A really sloppy example of how they could use immortal's products to recreate the characters.

Unpopular opinion I hope it's a modern take...

Potentially even more unpopular opinion: I hope it’s a code name for an undisclosed IP.

Pandora's Box in 3D Murdy-vision (ft. the music of Figure)

What IP could it be? The only one that would make sense to me would be Alien (Pandora - Prometheus - Alien), but that would never happen due to the buy out. Maybe the album by Aerosmith, who also have an album called Toys in the Attic (Child's Play?), or even Nine Lives (CATS lol).

I mean, hypothetically, if Pandora's Box was a, sort of, codename for an IP, I don't think it would directly allude to an IP through it's name, but rather maybe describe some kind of event. So one person releasing chaos and evil into the world could be a metaphor to the plot of an IP were something is unleashed by the actions of the main character(s) in some way, shape, or form.

Those masks look badass. Charybois is my favorite one. I do hope they use these masks but thats unlikley.

Is it?

No inside info on the direction of Pandora's Box here, but HHN has turned to Immortal's off-the-shelf masks for a number of their attractions (especially the Tunnel and Terror Tram).

Funny, I've my own speculation on this too... but I doubt it since it's just me guessing

Yeah, I mean even if it were true that it's a codename for an IP, "Pandora's Box" could be a reference to literally anything, even something completely unrelated to the property itself, so trying to figure out what it could be feels sort of pointless. The other thing about an IP is it does seem like options are kind of slim at this point. Some of the ones that initially struck me as no-brainers (Pet Sematary 2019/OG, Halloween 2018, etc.) now seem unlikely for obvious reasons, so I'd really have no idea where to start.

Saw a post about the UK HHN media event, and they said the next announcement is 100% a house, and that they can’t say anything till thursday.

There was a particular movie tied to a particular franchise that I read multiple reviews that described it as "unleashing Pandora's Box", but then again maybe I'm looking too much into it (plus I don't wanna jinx it on the basis maybe I'm onto something and it IS true).

So we'll see!

 

[Guygas]

Also worth mentioning he said it might not appear on Hollywood’s side, however i think what they were shown was a shared property since if they were shown an Orlando original I feel like they’d be smart enough to distinguish that from an IP.

I really don't think so, if you're getting at what I think you're getting at. There's no way that wouldn't be both coasts.

Imagine how livid Florida fans would be if they didn’t get Hellraiser as well if that’s what you’re referring to.

It wasn't, but that's also a consideration. I think the spade's a spade.

 

[viking_wizard_eyes]

Lol I have no idea what you guys are referencing, but either way, I actually don’t see an issue with another Hollywood-only IP to go with Creepshow. Orlando—both the audience and the creative team—seems to vastly prefer originals to IPs. So unless it was some kinda mega headliner, I could see them not caring as long as they got like, Zombie Bowling Alley or some other exclusive original.
