Halloween Horror Nights 29 General Discussion

Bringing back to SZs real quick, people are saying that these are some of the weakest ideas since 2013...did those people forget that 2017 was a thing?

Beetlejuice would be awesome as a show, AOV would be fine too, but I’d like to see something different this year.

I really don’t see the problem with the speculated zones. Zombieland is a good IP for a zone. Vikings I have no issue with and should provide decent set pieces and costumes. Have to see plastic surgery, but can go well. Arcade based sounds very interesting to me. Only iffy one is Rob Zombie since I don’t really care much about him or his movie/music.

I'm not sure 2017 is the best example, since anticipation-wise I do recall people being fairly excited for the zones. Especially Invasion! which had a LOT of SZ hype amongst fans. Now execution of said zones in 2017 was a different story, but in terms of anticipation/interest, right now people were more excited for 2017's zones than this years.

Naturally, it can all change once things are announced and info is released. Better yet, it can also change when the props come out. Since last year Twisted Traditions went from "Another PUMPKIN zone?..." to "Pumpkins? F*** YEAH!!!" the moment the street got dressed.

Rush of Fear tickets etc are expected to be released once the BOGOF ends, right?

 

[TheGamerOfKnowledge]

How accurate do you guys think this map is?

95-ish% It looks pretty realistic but something about just feels off.

Yes

 

[RevFreako]

Yes

Not a moment too soon either.

It’s the only way to get a Zombie house...

What does anyone think that anarch-cade scare zone could be like? That’s the only one that confuses me.

Hopefully some kinda evil video game character zone. If they are going for IPs, I hope some Mortal Kombat people are included. More likely, it'll be twisted versions of well known characters like the Chucky zone last year.

My guess is that it will be our front “preview” scarezone between Shrek and DM, with arcade games set up to represent the event’s IP houses. Kind of like The Harvest last year, which had its own theme but still featured props from the 5 IP houses.

i like this idea espaally when mortal kombat has tons of villens that could fit the hhn feel

If Anarch-ade is an arcade zone (which is looking more likely), it’s either going to feature original send-ups of video game characters (similar to Chucky last year), or characters from all the houses (like Harvest).

It won’t feature characters from actual video games.

Makes sense. Why would they spend the money? Parody means you can do any of the archetypes for free

I wonder how many of Hasbro's lawyers were shaking with Revenge of Chucky last year.

It’s all parody.

I'd say that Topps probably had a better claim. That "Cabbage Patch Kid" looked an awful lot a Garbage Pail Kid. I wonder how the parody of a parody would be handled legally...

Didn't they do that every year with the Bill and Ted show?

Parodies of parodies

That's just normal parody. I'm talking doing a parody of a property that's already a parody of something else (GPKs already being a parody of Cabbage Patch Kids).

It doesn't really matter. I just thought it was kind of odd.

I was specifically thinking of the Sean Spicer thing, but that would be an NBC property anyway, I guess.
