Halloween Horror Nights '19 General Discussion

[chris.g]

I've heard ramblings of our "classic" maze being a particularly unorthodox IP (it's a cult classic more so than "classic" classic) in the vein of what you'd expect from Twin Peaks (content wise). However I cannot confirm if those ramblings have gone anywhere.

... there has potentially been progress to said property....

Very interesting. I’m guessing this is a film/franchise that’s never been HHN before, right? Has this “cult classic” been released in the 20th century?

There were those Twilight Zone rumblings earlier in the year but that seems to have died down. My guess for this classic property is either Phantasm, Black Christmas, or Reanimator.

I really want this to be Suspiria though; that property would make me book a FFP

Correct. And depends who you ask.

Dear God if it’s another Evil Dead house...but from the classic timeline.

I’d hope it’d be Army of Darkness instead of ED2 since the environments would be more different than what was seen in 2013 or 2017.

If it is another Evil Dead maze, based on the classic ED trilogy.. for Murdy's sake, let's hope the 3rd time's the charm..

I’d hope it’d be better since they can reuse nearly everything from the 2013 house. But still that house had issues as well. Alien could also fit as a property that’s been semi represented but that’s much more classic and mainstream than Evil Dead or the other properties that are classic cult classics

Lucky for you, Murdy will still have the opportunity to make his third time the charm as he has yet to try his luck once again with that IP

.... this is a confusing quote

I believe there is an trilogy with Suspiria, of course Suspiria (1977), Inferno (1980), and the Mother of Tears (2007). So I'm going to guess the original Suspiria?

Correct on the trilogy; the property hasn’t been at the event but I know for a fact the music has been played at either coast before.

One of Murdy's very first clues for this year may be in direct relation to this property.

Gah.. this is difficult..

 

[horrornights789]

I checked earlier in the threads and maze #1 was stated to be a “BEAST” to design. Guessing that’s the tip off to the classic IP. My first guess would be The Thing or Hellraiser since Murdy described it as “tricky” but it’s probably something more obscure than those two

 

[Horror Lover]

Um.. I found this on Horror Night Nightmares.. take this with enough salt to properly flavor a basket of french fries as a lot of it doesn't match up with spec and new spec restrictions..

So here it is, the HHN hollywood mazes (at least from the places i've pulled my info from)



THIS IS HOLLYWOOD, mind you, I know nothing from Orlando.

Pretty much.. that's why I said take it with enough grains of salt to flavor a basket of french fries.. a WB IP, an IP that was already used at a competing theme park, a Miramax IP and an IP reboot that spits in the face of a Universal-owned IP and that IP's original creator.. right...

 

[Theme Park Stuff]

One of Murdy's very first clues for this year may be in direct relation to this property.

This might be referring to the Al Bowley hints Murdy dropped in the beginning of this year’s speculation season. The Shining’s (ballroom) scene is often paired with "Midnight with the Stars and You" (a song by Al Bowley) which might connect to Suspiria as it too has a ballroom scene. It was released in 1977 (during the 20th century) so 70s carpet and wallpaper designs could totally be referring to Suspiria. The movie is also very much at a cult classic status and would very well fit the bill for the challenging maze Murdy has been talking about.

My apologies for the double post but HHN doesn't have the rights to some of these properties and Murdy stated that all scarezones are original as of now.
