Halloween Horror Nights 27 General Discussion

[snayberry]

I'm hoping for a big reveal.

 

[Thiago]

No. I think there is some sort of update and reveal but it won't be the whole event.

Remember the originals, scare zones, and shows weren't announced till late August in 2015.

. I think this was the full reveal. August 10

 

[Thiago]

Nevermind, this was the final reveal. #Doublepost

 

[Returning-The-Reaction]

2016 was definitely the earliest 'full reveal' yet. In the 10 years prior to last, I believe the full reveal was made sometime between August 26 and September 1 - respectively.

 

[horrornights789]

I'm so excited for the full reveal; we can finally learn more about "Vampire Hive" and Angels vs Demons

 

[horrornights789]

I'm glad I'm not the only one preaching this now...

*sorry for the double post*

In your opinion which of the originals sounds the most promising?

Uhg... that's an unfair question. Everyone has their own preferences on what makes a good house, while I know a bit about each of the originals, I don't know enough specifics to have informed opinions.

First, I tend to favor atmospheric, detailed houses with intense scares (Screamhouse, Orfanage) and tend to not enjoy gory, non-stop adrenaline/conflict houses (Nightingales). That said, I'd rank the originals as I know them:

Voodoo
Scarecrows
Hive
Angels and Demons (this actually is the concept I should be most excited for, but see my preferences above).

All of this is absent seeing the houses, scares, or the performers most of all. They determine if a house works or not.

Glad to hear there's more Orfanage fans there! Anyways, I'm surprised Bayou of Bloods more atmospheric than gore, and that Angels vs Demons is the most andrenaline induced one; I figured it would've been reversed. Side note but were those the codenames for the mazes? I can see what you mean about them being very clever(also do you know what the Jigsaw one was, that one seems like it could be good)

I was being sarcastic in calling the code names clever, but we're close enough to the end game and scareactors have been asking.

AHS - Checkmate
Shining - Gold
Ash vs Evil Dead - ED
Blumhouse - Numb
Saw - Buzz(saw... get it?)
Vampires - Hive
Scarecrows - Brains
Voodoo - Paddle
Angels vs Demons - Crater

I knew they were sarcastic, the codenames look like they required a ton of effort and cretivity*psyche*. Any new buzz on Bayou of Blood besides atmosphere, it seems to be less talked about than the other 3(mostly because of how unknown they are)

 

[jrn14]

Overall that sounds like a pretty fun mix. Shining is an awesome IP that I kind of forgot about since it was revealed so early... I'm excited for AHS and Saw too... The originals all sound like they could be fun and unique!

 

[LieutLaww]

So we get more details today then ?

 

[jrn14]

1 hr until the countdown clock ends? :feverishly refreshes:

I hope Universal's servers are ready for this!

 

[Bojangles83]

The first box will unlock and it'll be an HHN screensaver or something...that's it.

 

[RedRightDan]

I hope Universal's servers are ready for this!

Oh. One, or possibly both, of two things are going to happen...

1. Nothing updates
2. That poop crashes hard

 

[snayberry]

19 min.

 

[jrn14]

The counter is down to 72 souls?

 

[s8film40]

I may be in the minority but I really like the way they've handled the announcements this year. The lack of early announcements has made it seem to creep up faster, hard to believe it's only a month and a half away. Now we have a bunch of announcements to come and it seems more exciting because it's all so much closer.

 

[natspamiell]

Is anyone else's soul collectors acting weird? It's saying there's only 73 souls collected today
