Halloween Horror Nights 33 (UOR) - Construction

It’s a ren faire. Of course it looks cheap.

Agreed. I think we're being a little too hard on this. It's a temporary prop meant to weather being outside, wear & tear, and guest abuse.

Plus, it's not done.

And considering the circumstances, it's a wise move going for a theme that doesn't require an immense amount of detail/theming to get the point across.

its not that it needs huge theming, but the bricks looked kinda off

Well folks, looks like we’re finally getting Iron Maiden.

Again, it’s a ren faire. Ren faires are known for shoddy paint jobs on plywood. The “off-ness” is part of the point.

Not excusing it, just explaining. Because it’s doing exactly what it’s supposed to.

Nightmare Fuel is clearly getting that Circus look for the stage this year.

kinda sounds like it will be a comedy zone.

Not so much comedy. If a legitimate serial killer starts killing people in a fun house, it’s not actually comedy. I think the horrors of this zone are very real… it just happens to take place in a jokey location.

EDIT - Remember, this is the Sinist3r zone. Going comedy with it undercuts the whole principle of that personality.

I think it's a very similar situation with this and Triplets (and Sweets, albeit it to a lesser extent based on the podcast's vibe):

People are thinking it'll be more lighthearted and comedic based on a very brief description. Now to be fair(e), I do think Torture Faire might be closer in vibe to Vamp 69, where while yes the horrors are very real, it is a bit more 'lighthearted'.

But then you'll have Triplets, which many have already deemed as another comedy house, when in reality and based on what we've heard, not only could it possibly be a pretty intense house, but it might also be a surprisingly very dark story. Triplets murdering their entire family (TW, abuse- which could see them going an abusive parents/family route potentially) and then recreating it years later with an entire town? All while in silly birthday masks they've might've made when they were children (and probably wore during those original murders)? That's a genuinely disturbing story.

TL;DR - Agree that people are deeming houses and zones 'comedic' way too early, especially when you really stop and think about the concept.

Not sure if mentioned previously, but they're building an access pathway to the left of Springfield, so it does appear the tents (at least the original sprungs only) will exit through there.

 

[TheCodeMan95]

As someone who lives about 25 mins from the PA Renn Faire - yeah, everything there looks insanely cheap.

People love it for some reason though lol

Walked the park yesterday, Torture Faire is pretty much laid out similarly to Vamp '69. There's even that booth that was selling human parts in front of the Mummy Arcade. There is a lot of additional lighting this year throughout the zones (don't think I've ever seen so many lights in the past few years) so the zones this year seem to have been upgraded lighting-wise.

Blumhouse, as of now, isn't too congested prop-wise, so if they keep everything in similar locations like right now, it should be fine (the biggest issue with this zone last year was placing the delivery truck right across the Trolley Cart Stand that had its line cut off the walkway).

now I hope that the music in the faire is fun music. or something to dance to.

Is this a known fact? I would have guessed that the Nazarman houses were shorter.

Yep, Giggles and Gore is the shortest house of all time clocking in at 7 rooms. No idea why I know this.
