Halloween Horror Nights 25 Discussion

[Drew]

Assuming, as all signs point, there is a Run 3 house, I have to assume it will boil down to Eddie and a lot of chainsaws. And really, is there a better icon of the past 25 years than the roar of a chainsaw?

I said on Twitter... if Run 3 does happen, it'll almost certainly be in the Disaster queue. It's the only (typical) location that the fumes from chainsaws are permitted in.

FDTD had a chainsaw last year in a soundstage.

FDTD had a chainsaw last year in a soundstage.

Evil Dead did as well in '13, however it was a sound effect and not actually a running saw.

Also the previous Run houses have all been in the disaster queue.

I know it will never happen, but I would love a house based on the Wraith from Stargate Atlantis.

I was target demographic when the original Scream came out in theaters. My daughter is now the target demographic for the new tv show. But even she agrees that the trailer looks bad and can't understand why they are not using the original mask.

Ghostface will be in the show. How he will be used is still unclear. They have redesigned the mask for the show. You can see it in the trailer. It is unclear if the white mask will end up in the show or not. Some places are speculating there may be multiple versions of the mask throuhout the show's run. However long that takes. If it lasts.

the show will not use the same mask as the movies. it is a new looking mask.
the trailer shows it for like a second, it definitely is not the same Scream face as the one from the movies

What's simple about Scream TV series. Every interview I've read about the mask. Seems to go back and forth. If they were going to have it. Would they not just say yes it will be in the show. Playing this mind game of "maybe or it might show up" seems like a act. The series starts in late June and ends on September 1. So makes sense advertising wise.

Unknown has linked NY's zone to be of the following "shadey under a tree" and "derailed train" and maybe a few other things they have not said yet. I'd bet we will see a bus or a train in the popular spot. Would be funny if Hellgate prisoners were tossed in there.

Krampus or Crimson Peak is what I think of

Pretty sure that's what I said. With a link to the mask.

Woah, I'm away from the computer for a bit and I come back to plenty of information all over. Let's see now, in terms of the IP line up.

TWD - Had a feeling it would return, and while I know a lot of people are dissatisfied at that...for me it's a "Just wait and see what the house ends up like" situtation. Also to be brutally honest, for all the complaining on this franchise appearing every year...I really don't think the houses have been that bad. Hell, the TWD houses are golden compared to "gems" like Disorientorium, Cold Blind Terror, Reflections of Fear etc.

Insidious - Considering how good this house was in Hollywood, I'm all for it. Plain and simple.

Freddy vs. Jason - I'm down with this as well, hopefully they'll have the "vs." aspect down a lot more then AVP, which really did have much "vs" on either coast's version.

Scream - Naturally a big question/concern is weather this'll be based off the movies or the new TV series...though even if it's based off the TV series I'll still have faith in it. After all in the past they have taken IP's that I'm not too fond off and still made great houses out of them. (eg. Dead Silence).

AWIL - This is probably the biggest surprise considering it's only been two years since they've done it, though for me after how Hollywood surprisingly botched theirs up, I'm quite fine with Orlando showing how it's done again.

Overall I'm fine with the IP lineup, I know people are complaining this doesn't look like much of a lineup for a "anniversary" year...but thing is we've yet to see what the originals are, same with the scare zones which are all going to be original as well. Could be a chance they'll pull a Sweet 16 here and there with a new incarnation of a previous house.

Speaking of which, I would be all for a new version of RUN...however there's a huge concern I have. Unless they have it be the upcharge house, I don't see them returning to the ever changing maze that made the original famous. Considering a big thing of the event's operation is to push as many people through a house per hour, RUN's original concept goes right against that. Believe me, I WANT them to do something akin to the original version. Run: Hostile Territory was a massive dissapointment in that reguard, it was a alright "Hostel" house...but without the maze aspect it just wasn't RUN.

Is there anything yet on Face Off being involved in any way? There's another season of the show starting in July.

 

[MrRoamer]

Hostile Territory didn't hold a candle to the original Run because it was missing the dynamic maze. I was extremely excited by it and then was let down but I will always be hopeful that it can return to its past glory.

Based on what Unknown is saying, all scarezones will be originals this year. The IP lineup is set (for now), so no Face Off this year. On another note, he said today that Show #3 will be in NY.

I never got to do the original, how did the dynamic maze work? Small groups of guests and between pulses they'd move the walls/barriers?

It was a chain link fence maze (sounds dumb), but it was very claustrophobic and had lots of strobes, chainsaw noises and a very energetic cast..They pulsed the house and swung a fence closed behind you, so it was more like an arena than a house..The cool thing was the chain link fence acted as a hidden barrier so you never knew when there was an opening for a scareactor or where you were supposed to go. Picture the ending to the Walking Dead house last year...I'd keep in mind It took place in the old days of HHN where you could literally have a huge gap between you and the next party. Not sure the house would work today unless it was an up charge, it would never work with a conga line.

 

[MrRoamer]

They would also shut the fence mid party. I went in with one other person and right at the start they separated the two of us. Made for a really great experience.

Yes. It was a cool concept but massively inefficient and would probably never work with today's crowds.

Been going to Universal Orlando since the second week after the first park opened, but my first time going to HHN, and can't wait! I've been following the houses and scare zones on youtube every year for the past 10 years, but always a scaredy cat! This year I'm ready! Love following everyone discuss the clues from Unknown and Dr. Jimmy, I've been on the boards every day and finally registered. Thank you all for making this so much fun!
