Halloween Horror Nights 29 General Discussion

[hhnlover]

Stranger Things + Ghostbusters are for sure going to lead the marketing, but anyone else wonder what the 3rd property is gonna be? My bet is House of 1000 Corpses because of Captain Spaulding but it is a pretty cult property.

Speaking of Ho1C, wonder if they’ll “Games of Jigsaw” it and include a room from 3 From Hell to promote the new movie.

i won't be surpised if they make universal monsters the third lead since there so recognizable

note - i'll love if the commercial this year was based off the sleep paralysis tweets. imagine someone waking up, but they can't move, tons of the i.p's will come closer to him (demodog, dracula, library ghost), as he can't do nothing but scream silently.

Commerical idea is amazing, I love it, the 3 big headliners. But what about Hollywood seeing as Dracula won't be in their maze, so best thing to do is have Frankenstiens monster instead of Dracula.

That sleep paralysis trailer would've been perfect in a Hill House year, heh. Sorta like how last year was centered around the Upside Down.

So I’m guessing late May for our next announcement? And one of the originals or scare zones?

How late do you consider late?

 

[BoSoxFan1022]

25-31

25-31

Yeah, no.

 

[BoSoxFan1022]

17-24

 

[horrornights789]

Judging by the cycle I’d say in about 2 weeks. May 16th?

 

[Legacy]

17-24

Let's just say before late May. All the announcements have been a tinge off when I'm expecting them.

 

[Spaulding]

Anyone have anything they are hoping for this year from the scarezones? After TrT and Klownz the past couple of years I hope we get something unexpected. Maybe Killer Tomatoes? :grin:

 

[Chrisplombardo]

Can we start talking scarezones? Speculation has been so quiet reguarding them.

I wouldn't mind seeing The Fog as a scarezone. Crank the fog machine up to 11 to give the scareactors something to hide in. It could then get the SZ to House treatment the following year.

Wasn't that basically Dead Man's Wharf?

Slash Forsaken.

No idea. Just a random thought for SZ speculation.

 

[hhnlover]

anyone think a They Live zone will work?

The challenge with a "They Live" as a zone is the transition between the human look and the alien look. In order to make it work, Uni has to control where the performer is and the way guests see them. That's extremely difficult in a street. A house would be much easier.

EDIT - And They Live needs that transition effect. Without it, it's just a somewhat generic alien zone/house (not even a visually interesting one). It's possible, using clear, UV-reactive face paint and black light washes.

They Live 3D house seems thematically appropriate.

They Live 3D house seems thematically appropriate.

I would kinda love a They Live house, but only if the lighting flips between "glasses up" (standard lighting) and "glasses down" (black light).
