Triplets of Terror (HHN 33)

[coastercody]

Can we just call this house what it is....Bob's Burgers does Halloween. Wanted to like it but at the bottom of my list unfortunately

Something I've started to realize in all my runs, Triplets is very much the 'easter egg' house this year! Keep an eye out for these the next time you run it:

• Extermin-Air bottle (Bugs)
• Jack Schmidt evidence bag
• One of the newspapers in the podcast room is about a series of 'seaside murders' (Dead Man's Pier)
• Another newspaper is about bodies found in a state park (Yeti: Campground Kills)
• I'm not sure where, but I've been told there is a Caretaker reference.
• And I'm sure there's a whole lot more in the podcast room.

You will never convince me this house wasn't supposed to originally be in the UK. I humbly present you the following evidence:

1. The name Barmy

2. The "Bloody Good" Food item

3. There were rumors ahead of time it took place in Britian

4.While it now takes place in the US, it's in Pennsylvania, which I think was chosen for the brief urban setting towards the end

Regarding the motive, the tour guide said the treatment was intentionally non-specific a la Michael Myers, but there were some potential references that alluded to why as to why they went insane, and the Extermin-air was one.

Interestingly enough, I had originally pegged this as happening in Carey due to the Ohio license plate on the police car, but the guide confirmed it was actually set in Toledo (and the podcast section of the house does confirm it as such). When I asked why it wasn't in Carey, she said that legal wants them to move away from setting things in Carey to a more Anytown, USA, especially for certain mazes. I have no idea if that's really true, but it does seem plausible given the state of things. (I would hope this is wrong.)

As Brian recently pointed out elsewhere, I'd take anything coming from a tour guide with a grain of salt. They're great, but they tend to add their own color and theories that isn't really always 100% truthful/consistent with A&D's design intent.

I could see Extermin-Air having something to do with it, especially considering they're the reason for two movies' plotlines in Sinema (Undead Clowns + Blood and Chum).

However, I do very much prefer the more somber and darker motive of this potentially being the result of an abusive family (as pointed out before with the melancholic music and hoarder home).

The one thing that bothered me in this house is that, at least for me, the interior of the Barmy home didn't match the exterior. The exterior screamed "hoarder/hillbilly" and the interior just looked like.. a normal house.

Yeah, if they were going for, "the parents drove their children to madness" it certainly didn't land with me.

when people said this could be like house of 1000 corpses or devils rejects I expected that they would have done something hoarder from the speculation

Also their parents made them all birthday cakes and bought them presents

I think they're just jerks

I do wish the inside was a disgusting mess, mold and trash everywhere ala RE7.

if they were going for the whole Halloween Michael Myers thing then it kinda makes sense if the house wasn't super messed up.

Then they shouldn't have made the exterior of the house super messed up lol

It’s weird that this is the house everyone is debating this year.

What if it was vanilla cake and they asked for strawberry. Much to consider.

In what way? Honestly, the negative energy against this house from fans has been pretty substantial since the thing was announced.

I’m just surprised there’s so much to discuss.

And it's funny, because I was one of the biggest defenders of it from the announcement. It was very high on my hype list.

And it finished pretty low on my ranking.

God I get what people were saying about how this should have been an all timer. It gives that energy but just doesn’t deliver at all. It needs more voice lines, explanation on the Triplets, and some better scenes.

Scares though I think are decent.

maybe the problem was having triplets, maybe making it about one killer could have been better?
I still think this house should have been about Eddie and his obsession with movies.
