HHN 28: Horrors of Blumhouse

[RevFreako]

So, as someone who loves the Purge and enjoyed HDd, it'd be great if all the fanboys who are pissing and moaning about this one would go elsewhere so those of us who this is meant for can enjoy the house that was made for us more times. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

If the most disappointed we are is “I hope the design and cast is as good this year” with the houses then this year might be one for the record books.

I think one of the headliners is going to be a pretty big disappointment, but I still think this has a good chance to be my favorite year I've attended.

Last year's house benefited from a great cast and great design work on a structural level. Lots of tight turns and short hallways, which you need to deliver scares to a conga line.

Very true. The design work, costumes, and cast for HoB were great last year, the main weak point was the cheap looking sets for the Insidious section and the finale.

Can't be disappointing if you have low expectations.

If I expect something to suck, why would I bother doing it?

To see how they pull off the Demogorgon.

That's fair.

To be surprised?

I'm not a huge risk taker. My willingness to take a flyer on something has dripped considerably as iveI gotten older.

I mean, if you're only attending a day or two I can understand that, but any more than two days warrants each house at least once.

Oh, don't take this to mean I won't be doing each house multiple times. IlI' be there pretty much every night but Saturday.

I thought you said you weren’t gonna bother doing StrTh?

I still hope there is a Blumhouse SPAWN house when that movie comes out lol

When I saw the final scene from The First Purge, the first thing I thought about was how well-made it was for a HHN house. If that isn't the finale of the house, I don't know what would be.

So what’s the deal with this house and marketing? This house seems pretty forced yet they’re not even advertising it. Anyone know if there were issues over this house like there were last year or they’re just pretending this house isn’t there since it doesn’t fit the theme?

I have hopes it’ll be a good house but it just seems weird that after they announced it they never mentioned it again

There were no issues. There's just bigger priority IPs.

Oh ok good. I was a little nervous this house might’ve had a change that prevented it from being marketed.

For anyone that saw The First Purge is there anything unique to it settings wise? The marquee had that really cool looking Butcher guy and I can’t wait to see him pop out

 

[OrlandoVillian]

Correct. The house with the biggest back and forth was Stranger due to Netflix. The casting of the kids was the most labor-intensive part.

I will admit this house wasn't one I was excited for, but I feel it is much better than last year!

I dontd expect it to suck, I just don't expect it to crack top three. The question was meant more broadly.
