Halloween Horror Nights 28 General Discussion

[NuteGunrayWasFramed]

Being the same types doesn't necessarily meant that they're constantly poorly designed.

While I agree they could get a little more experimental, there are only so many types of items you can design that theme park crowds will buy.

I REALLY want Frightrags to get HHN merch rights.

I'm admittedly torn on this because I love the pumpkin design, but I also think I got my hopes up that we'd see some 80's inspired logos.

Definitely just cements the idea the 80's theme is pretty loose, but even still when it comes to general themes for a year, even if the theme is loose, we usually see the logos and lanyards reflect the central iconography (the ornate skull on last years for example, still reflected the festival of the deadliest, even if it was a loose theme).

how can you really capture the 80s style in a shirt? im genuinely asking, not trying to be sarcastic.
what could they do to represent the 80s theme in a shirt?

could they have made it an old TV like with the website?

Bingo. Have the house shirt be a bunch of video tapes with each house logo on it, surrounding the old TV.

Passholder merch from Orlando Informer: Pin, Collectible button and Shirt. Looks like it's definitely another year without a number!

Plus, early entry info and an extra Q&A for passholders this year.

ooh that's a nice shirt. :drool:

While I’d like a T-shirt with the VHS pause HHN logo at least this is better than the “We offer many choices of shirts as long as they are Walking Dead choices”

 

[PenguinCowboy]

I was thinking something along the lines of this type of aesthetic:

Admittedly, however, not very horror based. But definitely evokes the era. Lots of pinks, purples, lasers, etc

How about literally anything other than a black t-shirt?

I love the rotted pumpkin. It reminds me of the classic chainsaw pumpkin design, only appropriately rotted because it's been 20 years.

That might also still be coming. These were the UOAP shirts/pins. We haven't seen the general public one yet. I'm assuming it's going to be similar to the lanyard though.

Skip also has a point about black t-shirts. Unfortunately, if you're a horror fan like me, you have a closet full of them. It's difficult to find a company that makes decent looking shirts in any other color.

Luckily that's 60% of the shirts I wear, but for others I can see it being annoying.

 

[ChaseTuff]

Thankfully literally if I count my shirts 9/10 are black including the HHN ones. So I'm not remotely bothered by it.

 

[Freddyglove]

Hmm... never thought of that, Legacy!

 

[Disneyson1]

If I were to name this year, I’d call if “Harvesting the 80s”. It’ll probably be internally referred to as “The Harvest”.

I love this shirt. I live in MD and don't get to Florida very often so an annual pass makes no sense for me. I'm assuming this is for sale in the stores at the parks. Do the staff check your badge at the registers to ensure you can buy the shirt? I'm thinking they do, but wanted to ask what people had experienced. I guess I can check Ebay when the event starts. Thanks.

 

[Robert Bliss]

I like that shirt much better than the ones they used to do with the cheesy red plasticy "blood" writing. I love my 25 house shirt but don't wear it much due to the "All Jack'd Up" writing on the front. I just personally find it kinda off-putting. I thought the house shirt from last year was awesomely restrained. I'm a big fan of this new Pumpkin shirt.

 

[JawsVictim]

This year’s event shirt would be cooler if it was a throw back font similar to the 1992 shirt above.

True, but it's notable that there's a bit of a digital error effect on the logo in reference to that theme.

It seems to me that they generally sell the Passholder shirt without the Passholder logo also.

Yeah, I'll just buy the non-AP one because it has a less ugly (and pretentious) sleeve logo.
