Halloween Horror Nights 28 General Discussion

[Legacy]

When it's announced can you tell us what was originally planned and why it was so high on your anticipation list? I'm curious.

If it’s changed, I plan to.

My guess?

Legacy has always been interested in the idea of a house that looks the same room to room, but has the scares coming from different places each time. I believe HOS did a house like this years ago called Corporate Nightmare (or something similar), but I may have misread that house’s premise. A Happy Death Day house would allow A&D to execute this concept which they have sort of played around with in the past (see: Evil Dead 2013)

Edit: So if I have read his past posts correctly it is not so much the IP that interests him, more the design of the house from a scare perspective

Corporate Nightmare was the one that got destroyed by all the hurricanes, correct? I’m shocked the same didn’t happen to HoB, honestly.

If it was just HDD and they had some liberties with it (like Exorcist), thus allowing to go in the same room repeatedly, that would make me much more interested in it.

So if it’s Blumhouse 2.0 now is this sort of like the Insidious situation last year where it started as solo HDD and then turned into HoB? Really curious to see how A&D do it since Hollywood’s was pretty fun.

So for Blumhouse 2 we’re thinking Happy Death Day, Ouija, and then a 3rd Movie?

Split/HDD/Ouija seems like the logical combo if Get Out isn't being used on either coast.

Would be a pretty good house. I imagine Split, should it come, would be the shortest section since most of the movie is in the bunker area. Is Ouija genuinely possibly coming? I loved Origin of Evil but after last year I don’t wanna get my hopes too high

Wow, I now finally understand what you mean when you talk about someone correctly guessing and no one else catching it @Returning-The-Reaction.

split has a bunch stuff to do different rooms. could even make a house on split alone
you have:
the parking lot where the girls are taken.
the room where they are held
the bathroom in that room
the room of the little kid where he dances to his music
the Psychologist office
the rest of the guy's house, the kitchen living room etc.
the underground cages, the veterinarian rooms,
the entrance to the zoo
the zoo cages outside
the place where the beast tries to attack the girl

you can get at LEAST 10 different looking rooms from all that.... it would be enough to fit a house and not repeat a room once.

I completely agree, but I think it’d have the same problem as The Shining last year where each of the actors look a bit off the original actor.

Yeah, but are any of the places that aren't the main room and hallway actually interesting?

What's your facade? A movie poster?

What perspective is the house told from? Are guests bystanders or are they the victim? If they're the victim, then we wouldn't know about the psychiatrist. If we're bystanders, how is the visually "opened" so we can see everything?

And how will the "one killer" thing work here? Unmasked killers work in a house because the CLOTHING is identical between performers. You can't do that with Split. So masks? Quality masks are expensive, and you need at least 40. Then, what do you do with that investment?

I mean, let's think about this like designers...

 

[orlandoiloveyou]

Similar to the repeating rooms idea, I think the Texas Chainsaw House from 26 is overlooked from a design aspect. There were 2 scenes that walked you through the foyer of the house and it was so bizarre because it really felt like we were just in the house. At least I really enjoyed it. That house felt straight out of the movie.

Random thought: I know not everything has to fit the theme. I know the rights of what I'm gonna suggest is owned by Disney. Buuuuuuuuuuuut, if the rumors about a Oz house are true.....what if it's inspired by/slightly based off Return to Oz since it came out in the 80's?

^^^. Also for Oz, I wonder if they’ll reuse the scene from Scary Tales III where guests got hunted in the Cornfield with a dead Dorothy in it. Also curious to see the potential facade

You've seen the facade.

 

[faceleg]

You've seen the facade.

*scratches head in confusion*

 

[JMalez]

Maybe an Ultraviolent Comic cover.
Although, in a soundstage, this would seem somewhat lackluster.

Castle from Path of the Wicked?

I hope it’s not a 3D house.

 

[JMalez]

I hope it’s not a 3D house.

Considering its location, I doubt it will be ..

The castle is honestly probably a better bet.

 

[horrornights789]

So are the yellow brick road & Emerald City gonna appear if we start in the Castle? Excited to see the Flying Monkeys though
