Yep, All Nite Die-In: Take 2 featured Scream, The Ring, Hellraiser and The Silence of the Lambs - all unofficially.

With names like "Masked Ghost Killer", "Man with Pins"... etc.

Those are the best.

“Nightmare Man”
“Hockey Mask Killer”

Here’s my IP wishlist for next year:

Twin Peaks
Stranger Things OR It - too similar to have both
The Babadook
Halloween 3: Season of the Witch (1982)
The Thing (1982)
Hellraiser (1987)

Would love a break from AHS, Michael Myers, and all the Blumhouse properties.

I think Stranger Things or IT are different enough.

Yea, I don't see why people are saying they're so similar? Because there's kids in them?

I'm still amazed they got away with that for as long as they did.

Yeah. I don’t see it.

One features a clown in an abandoned house and a sewer.

The other features other-dimensional flower monsters in a science lab, school, junk yard, and creepy blue other-world.

Maybe story-wise? I can see a similarity at the most basic narrative (kids fighting monsters), but they’re wildly different. Most importantly, they have incredibly different settings. For haunts, that’s what you want.

 

[JawsVictim]

To me, they have a similar aesthetic. Nostalgic 1980s adventure/horror with a group of misfit adolescents facing off against an evil monster.

Honestly, when I first saw the new It film, I thought, “Oh, it’s IT with a Stranger Things overlay.”

I understand where people are coming from when they say they feel similar, especially when the Duffer brothers have said some of their inspiration was in fact from IT. But I agree that they're very different settings in terms of what would be featured in houses. I would 100% be down with an 80s nostalgia theme for HHN.

I would be 100% down with an 80’s theme if that means we got Stranger Things, IT, The Thing, The Fog, and Hellraiser in the same year

Lets think of what would go on each house,

IT: The kids of it will probably not be in the house except georgie ( which could be a prop)
The sets would be sewers, forest, decrepit house, blood bathroom, church, library,
Characters to see would be the clown, leper, painting lady, headless boy, bullies, etc.

Stranger things would have: laboratory rooms, research facility, school, house with christmas lights, the other side, pool area,
Monsters we get are the demogorgon things and the demodogs, scientists in hazmat suits, possesed boy, 11 girl,etc

I really dont see how they are sinilar.

I hope, i really really hope the people working on hhn dont think they are too similar. I hope they did both.

 

[JawsVictim]

I’m not saying don’t ever do both. I’m saying let’s have Stranger Things one year and It another year. IMO they’re similar. If you don’t think they’re similar, cool.

 

[Lucky Planet]

Also i really cant see the babadook as a house. Would be too hard to make it scary

To each their own.

I think The Babadook has enough of a narrative to inspire nine scenes in a haunted house. It would work great as a MIB tent house with the facade being the pop up book. Also, this would have a big draw with the LGBTQ community in Central Florida.

 

[Lucky Planet]

Who would u even put in the house? If u are faithful to the movie u can only have the babadook in ONE room. What abot the rest? Have some lady screaming room after room?

I haven't seen that one yet...That is a strange name for a gay porno though

I’d prefer a liberal creative approach over a straight up reenactment of the film. The narrative - the Babadook consumes a mother’s mind after reading a pop up book - has ideas to draw from. Multiple Babadooks would be necessary. Maybe you can move through the events of the pop up book juxstaposed by characters from the film surcomming to the events in real life. Eventually the scenes blend together and it’s the film’s finale.

I’m not offended by your comment, but would like to point out it’s a) unfunny and b) comes off as ignorant.

 

[Legacy]

I’m a firm believer that any property can become a house. I don’t think every property can be good house. Babadook is one I don’t think would be a good house (Get Out and Silence of the Lambs are two others).

I adore the film. Legit one of the scariest and impactful films I’ve seen in a long time.

It doesn’t need a house though.
