HHN 28: Stranger Things

[quinnmac000]

So let's play a little game....

Bigger announcement: Walking Dead in 2012 or Stranger Things in 2018?

Stranger Things mainly on the fact, it airs in over 80 countries which is why Singapore is getting it as well compared to TWD. Also Stranger Things is a more family friendly IP with the series being TV PG compared to The Walking Dead which is TV 14.

Definitely shows how excited everyone is for this maze, very proud of Universal for finally bringing ST

 

[Paulio]

The sad thing is that NBC turned down Stranger Things show because it was a bunch of kids and thus won't bring any viewers. Oh well. At least we have a HHN maze based on this.

Anyone else see the key art? Looks so awesome

Like you're in the upside down world visiting Universal Studios and instead of looking really nice and normal, you're in for a world of hurt. Totally perfect for hyping up HHN.

I wasn't planning on going this year....but now I have to.

Only season 1, huh? Not all that much material to go with for a house, and the demogorgon is the only monster. Kinda disappointing on that front, but still a good cornerstone property to get people in the gates.

Disagree, think there’s plenty for one house. School, forest, Byers house, Hawkins lab, demorgorgan layer, and then of course all of the former as upside down variants as well.
Plus they could really build the tension, not knowing when the demogorgan is coming, just like the show.

Might not be enough for a season 2 on its own though. Although I’ve only seen that season once, might have even missed some locations from season 1.

Eh... smart way to do it would be to have some of the rooms flip to the Upside Down variant while you're in them. They kind a hint at it, referring to going into the Upside Down "whether you want to or not."

Scareactor hits an e-prom that switches the "normal" lighting to blue/purple upside down lighting (that reveals vines painted into the walls), waits a beat, then pops out. It's actually REALLY easy to pull it off.

Like the lounge/bar scene in The Shining last year.

Not-so-bold prediction: this will average the longest waittime in HHN history.

I'm thinking Walking Dead to be honest, but it's close. People forget just how huge Walking Dead was back then. Sadly the houses themselves were disappointing from the start, but UOR kept bringing them back due to popularity of the franchise. It's easy to forget how popular that house was the first year. It was triple the wait of any other house, when I went.

I thought the first house I experienced in 2013 was great, but all down hill from there. I also liked that all the scarezones were TWD themed, ...sorry back then it was my favorite show on television! and was in the running for my favorite show of all time.

Now sadly I've stopped watching and I would protest against a Walking Dead popcorn cart let alone it ruling the event.

Oh how the mighty have fallen.

the show was great at the start, and first few seasons. Sadly, killing off all you best characters, makes it difficult to keep a sustainable drama. Especially when the narrative keeps repeating over and over again. I think the show started going downhill after the "prison/Governor" plot line.

I know the promo is a mock up of the Universal Hollywood Arches, but I hope they do the upside down look (vines, lighting, maybe even floaty bits) at the entrance/arches out front this year in Orlando.

I would not hold my breath on that

 

[rhino4evr]

they could easily "project" vines on the Universal Entrance without too much trouble.

 

[Returning-The-Reaction]

Vines at the front arches would at least be something new!
