Halloween Horror Nights 25 Discussion

Cool. Thanks. So perhaps this year Lucy will get Werewolf and Finn FvJ. Second week I'll probably try out the Lucy zone. Is it a busy area? Reason why I don't like Finn's much is because everyone seems to wait there, so last year I waited at Simpson's almost every time.

The one night I did at Lucy's had about 15-20 people and you could hang out in the museum side of Lucy. I want to say it was the Friday of the second weekend.

I'm starting to think maybe JK Rowling wasn't keeping DA out of HHN last year afterall. Gringotts was a new state of the art ride going through kinks and bugs, and Universal probably figured they couldn't afford to keep it open until midnight during HHN and with the ride not open, they felt it wasn't worth the labor costs to run all the stores in DA during HHN.

I still haven't seen the commercial!!! I doubt there's gonna be slot of merch based on the originals. I'm betting it's all gonna be TWD again with maybe some FvJ thrown in too. I also think the house they're gonna preview will be either FvJ or insidious. Both are big ones and will show a ton of stuff off. I also really hope they allow filming for the media for a day. Again it's a shame most of these houses only exists through memory

Considering they had AWiL shirts last year I expect they will return. I also think they will have some Jack merchandise. Of course I'm hoping for something Bill & Ted related.

Last year Finnegan's was AvP and Lucy was FDTD.

Not always. I did Lucy last year, and its was Walking Dead both times.

Noticed something when I clicked on the details while getting my ROF pass. Specifically calls out express not valid for Gringotts or HE so am I reading into this too far where that means those will be open during the event or they just making it super clear since the average guest isnt the most educated when it comes to things like this?

^ What a sexy sign!

Really clever marketing and a nice Disney jab.

 

[Brian G.]

I don't see that as a Disney jab?

I took it as a subtle stab at their property-wide selfie stick ban.

Yeah I think it's not necessarily a jab more just a fun reference.

Billboard is amazing, still sucks the walking dead is taking top billing on everything house listing wise. The media package this year is the best one yet. The simple story they tell here is just hilariously dark, what horror nights does best. Also nice to see chance again, she looks as good as ever

Map is out:

MIB is going to be a clusterduck this year. Interesting entrance for Asylum. Also, some new info on houses and scarezones (copied from HNN):

Spoiler

• The Scary Tales - Steampunk characters will be both Steampunked and messed up in various ways. (Cinderella and Prince Charming have glass slippers impaled in them, Belle was slashed and mauled by Beast)
• The rooms in Asylum in Wonderland 3D will each warp between the two different worlds (The Asylum and Wonderland), playing off the "Is is real or is it not?" angle.
• AWIL is exact replica with a few additional scares.
• There was a video of the new AWIL puppets. Apparently, they are both way more fluid and way more realistic than before.
• Each icon in Icons: HHN will have two killings in a 45 minute set.
• There is a THIRD roaming horde. CDT, Psycho Clowns, and now the ClownSaw Drill Team (Name not official.). It's exactly as it sounds.
• The Purge will be the Creative Team's own personal take and twists on the Purge franchise, due to lack of new Purge material this year. Basically, like AVP last year.
• Large scaled illusions and sexy dancers confirmed for Carnage Returns
• Blood will cover the streets and buildings in PS - Unleashed. It will be applied post RTU (Duh.).
• Walking Dead house does ignore some major locations (If I were to guess, I'm guessing we don't see the Grady Hospital.), making it a condensed version of Season 5.
• Depending on what characters are out in All Nite Die In, related movies will play on the screen. Also, Purgers, Strangers, and Chucky and Tiffany confirmed for the modern All Nite Die In cast.
• Monsters and Mayhem will have 15 rooms, the most in HHN history. Jack will make appearances in different forms throughout the house.

You're welcome for the stuff copied from HNN by the way.

It literally says "copied from HNN..."

And the stuff from HNN was closely paraphrased from another site...

New info all sounds good. Weird spot for Asylum, really curious to see how crowd flow is affected there. Definitely a few mistakes - no way RUN is emptying out near MIB.

And Body Collectors exiting next to the Kidzone Stage.

 

[Dopefuse]

This map also highlights all of Central Park as the scarezone not just the main walkway. But, is that also one of the many mistakes? I hope not.

Oh I know. I'm just acknowledging.

That is a really strange spot for Alice. Almost in hollywood. MIB does look insane too. This is all questionable but I could care less, express for the win!!!!
