Halloween Horror Nights 29 General Discussion

[Parkscope Joe]

True. I think that, if anything, Sid’s death might have pushed the cast into embracing their roles even more than they already had/inspired less callouts.

In other news, does anybody want to talk about how Gozer got scareactor of the year for Ghostbusters ? To be fair, I don’t know of any one role that could be definitively called the BEST performed in the house, as so many of the roles seem like minimal-effort roles, but I wouldn’t have guessed that Gozer stood out as a great member of the cast. A good attitude backstage might be why, especially with how strict the ASMs were with Ghostbusters.

There’s no such thing as scare actor of the year?

in this era of PC

Far more likely you guys are blowing the supposed “PC culture” complaint out of proportion.

no, thats what im saying, there were barely any complaints online which is kinda shocking. i dont think anyone made a big fuss, no blogs or twitter posts complaining,
remember that hollywood had to get rid of their go go dancers before,

I think everyone needs to stop trying to justify the outcome of a backroom popularity contest.

On Instagram, I saw a post of the scareactor of the year trophy for Ghostbusters, so yes I do believe it is a thing.

Hollywood got rid of their dancers because they got a new exec that didn’t like them.

Each house recognizes a scareactor of the year (and scareactors of the week). It’s chosen by the house manager.

During the wrap party, performers can vote for a scareactor of a year, and that’s strictly a popularity contest.

Yes I was double checking there was no park wide scare actor of the year, should have clarified.

Like, don’t worry what Blake, Patrick, or Mike thinks and validating what you like. Enjoy the event and be happy with what you love.

i never heard of a trophy before

They get them. The scareactor of the year for Catacombs got a massive sculpted skull.

Again, these accolades aren’t advertised because they don’t actually matter. They’re internal and personal. I ADORE my little Scareactor of the Week trophy from Catacombs, but it’s not something that most performers make a huge deal about.

EDIT - I’ll post a picture of it a bit later.

On the topic of Ghostbusters, as I much as I loved it I’m kind of relieved it wasn’t the runaway hit of the year. In the beginning it was amazing but it got really repetitive the more you did it(much like Orlando’s Us maze) which was the complete opposite of a house like Nightingales or Corpses where it was pretty consistent.

Also, Us is probably one of the few instances where Hollywood’s adaption completely killed Orlando’s. I was so weirded out by that

What did the Hollywood Us do better??

Damn near everything.

 

[Wigglepebbles]

I can't believe it, it's all gone. This was an excellent year.

 

[horrornights789]

What did the Hollywood Us do better??

It felt longer and was a lot scarier. Vision Quest more expanded and creepier, the home invasion scene was longer and the living room was a spot on replica of the one from the movie and the Red’s were really intimidating. And they actually had the classroom scene in the maze.

So basically what @Legacy said

I’m not sure where this misinformation comes from but it was a slimer.

As a side note for those questioning: Scareactor / performer of the year is also an unadvertised, internal award. There is one for each house and street. Any trophy is made/ given by that house or streets management so they vary.

Yeah, got clarification after I wrote that! Gozer won a superlative, not SotY. Slimer is still interesting, though!

 

[shiekra38]

Since y’all probably wanna know...

Corpses won House. Anarch-Cade won Zone.

Corpses was the most consistent and the actors were acting the way they should, even though the house wasn't that great.

Anarchcade needs to be a house haha

Sort of. But make it an In-Between sequel instead (the Jumanji route, basically).

 

[Legacy]

Since I promised.
