HHN 28: Dead Exposure: Patient Zero

[Imperius]

Again, I don’t remember it being blackout. It had flashes and I don’t remember ever saying I can’t see, unlike certain times in scarecrow last year.

Original DE wasn’t that dark either from my memory. “Today’s audience” has nothing to do with it.

Minus the exit signs, it was pretty dark...

Dead Exposure was absolutely pitch black outside the book-ending Charlie office scenes. The nature of the strobes blinded your vision and created "burn-in" imagery (similar to the premise used by the Mummy coaster flats). This amplified the scares and gave you only a tenuous grasp on your surroundings, which did undoubtedly slow guest flow (especially when they reached the dizzying/overwhelming horde scene). It was honestly a spectacularly designed maze aside from the overlong endless hallway of nothing right at the end.

 

[Imperius]

Honestly don’t remember it being that way. Either way, it wasn’t changed due to today’s audience.

Adios Greg....

Given that they're advertising "darkness" in the promo, wouldn't it kinda be false advertising if it's not a pitch black house? IDK, I guess I don't see the point of blindness if it won't be pitch black.

Sections of it will likely be pitch black. But you'll see stuff.

Think "intermittent blindness." It's an effect. It has to have light AND darkness in order to make the "blind" feeling that much more powerful.

But you'll see stuff.

I think people have it in their heads that the camera flashes were infrequent. They occurred in short bursts like a strobe, every few seconds. You weren't in total darkness for more than a few moments at a time, if not less. I imagine a similar execution here.

This is what I remember. The strobes were frequent enough where it didn’t feel like darkness at all.

does a decent job of showing frequency / infrequency of strobes

Because we’re in (but almost at the end of) the final “dead season” anyone care to speculate on what the finale could be? The beginning will likely be the treatment center, guessing some “unwelcome visitors” will force us to leave. So I wonder what could best “tie up” the “story,” the way the first house was bookended by Charlie’s apartment?

(I don’t demand actual spoilers, I just wanted to start convo darnit!)

I'm glad you don't want spoilers, because you're unlikely to guess it.

Well if the POV for us is we're Emily and we get the vaccination in the treatment center at the beginning, part of me wants to say we eventually make it onto some sort of transport to head back to the states like a ship or plane. (Add in some time travel, assume the vaccine has failed and boom, we're the group of zombies that broke into Charlie's apartment.)

Other thoughts range from the Catacombs (however that might be a bit obvious), or some more time travel shenanigans to show a museum showcasing the terrible plague that happened.

something i won't be surprised to see is the return of the guy vomiting in a barrel prop.

 

[whatdoyouwant]

really excited about this one. I’ve heard that one of the first rooms is disgusting(mainly the audio). If so, I’m excited for audio throughout.

That 3rd picture looks like the Catacombs and that 2nd picture looks terrifying

Can you elaborate?

 

[snayberry]

This house should be spooky.

This house should be spooky.

Rumor, or was that confirmed somewhere?
