It was awesome & we spent a lot of time there just watching. For some reason, they scare the tar out of me but I kept going back through there. I will just need liquid courage to get through the house! haha

They just did Saws & Steam last year, don't need it again this one.
The Thing.... meh. I really hope it not in the SS as they probably won't let us photograph it on the tour, until the movie is released like the did with the Wolfman.

Saws N Steam as a house? I don't know. I think it is better to be remained as a scarezone. More room for the chainsaws to run around and try to get you. In houses, chainsaws require alot of room to work more better as a scare.
Now, Asylum in Wonderland. That can work. More themeing, jump out scares, est....

It was a FL outpost with The Thing Assimilation though. A sequel to the 80s version of The Thing that took place in a FL research outpost. This will be based on the prequel film, so it will be set in the freezing temps. They better make that house freaking cold in some parts with icy blasts of wind.
Yea I know. However, being "not sold" on fake snow and parkas is kinda silly. That's not what the Thing house will rely on. Furthermore, fake snow/cold was used in 2007 with Home for the Holidays and it was worked well.
Going into the soundstage from 80+ degree heat will give it that arctic feel, at least it did for Home for the Holidays.
Well, I know that the two events are not run by the same people, but John Murdy (who is in charge of HHN Hollywood) just tweeted that The Thing will in fact be a "cold" maze. Now, both HHN's are very different, however if Hollywood is springing for the cold effect, I would only assume that Orlando would as well (and probably one-up the Hollywood effect, in all likelihood).
If you are a horror fan, do yourself a favor and check it out. Great use of practical effects that still hold up surprisingly well today. Some of the stuff in that movie is so twisted that it's never quite been matched in originality in grotesqueness.
What a delightful sounding film! I will definitely be watching it in the near future.
18 was a brutally humid time for us, even after midnight, it was almost unbearable. So the cold aspect would be a welcome one.
