Halloween Horror Nights 27 General Discussion

Friend, you sure have a serious case of tunnel vision

So, one more IP house to go, and then the originals. The event is getting close y'all. Next year gon be weird.

I don't deny it!

Glad to see more optimists here than Nightmares (ForeverEvil1 by the way, hope none of y'all hated my posts over there).

GET HIM!!!

No but really. Welcome.

Now's definitely a better time than ever to start frequenting this forum. Constant, grating cynicism just gets tiring. Happy to be here.

Back on HHN stuff, Pumpkins in Central Park. Glad to see those. Would have been real weird to not have them with the TrT theme.

So, maybe I was a bit off the mark with the gifs I posted. From what I've seen, the Saw house announcement has been much more well-received than I had anticipated. And, much of the response to today's Bill & Ted announcement has been far more mellow than I predicted.

Maybe it's because I've been attending HHN for so long and was able to experience some truly great shows that had me expecting a larger negative response among the community. Maybe much of today's fans never got to experience the older shows and don't see losing the show as such a big deal. Also, maybe many veteran HHN guests have somewhat subconsciously gone through the anger/bargaining/depression phases while witnessing the gradual decline of the show over the last decade or so and B&T just doesn't mean that much to them anymore. In any event, I place myself in that final grouping.

Not that far off the mark I don't think. It's relatively calm here but there is definitely an outpouring of grief on twitter.

I think had there not been a final performance and the chance to send it off in style, the reaction would have been heightened.

 

[ChaseTuff]

Yeah I was pretty shocked to see Saw so well received. Looks like it being outdated and dead may be a little off the mark.

I am admittedly in that group of people who didn't get to see the older B&T's. Though honestly, I'm just never interested in shows at my horror event.

I'm in that latter camp as well. I didn't even bother seeing it last year. I know it'll tear my dad up, he loves that show. I'm definitely sad, but also happy I'll be able to see it one more time.

I wonder if theres a chance they'll release originals and scarezones before BlumHouse, like they did last year with AHS. I can definitely see Blum being a last minute draw in as I think Insidious and Sinister would be well received among the GP. On another note does anyone remember how they announced Purge as a scare zone in 24? I can't remember if it was a separate announcement or not. I'd think Purge and Trick R Treat will need separate announcements as well; meaning we have 4 more announcements (Originals, Blum, Purge, Trick) before everything is revealed.

 

[ChaseTuff]

Purge I think would be announced with Blum. Never thought about TrT being its own announcement. Guess it's possible.

True didn't think about this. I'd think the rights holders of Trick R Treat would want it to have its own. Then again they could announce it on the same day as the originals and it's technically still getting its "own day."

 

[JungleSkip]

I still think it's super weird to have a Trick R Treat street instead of a house, unless they're gonna do a house next year or something

 

[Legacy]

Anyhoo...

About three months back I was told Repository was returning. I even got a couple of details on the changes (which is always a plus). Since then? Nary a blip.

Anyone wondering that maybe Orlando is doing that Announcement Week thing? With announcements everyday. I know it was done in 2013 and people were trolling by retweeting it. But we have like two announcements the past two days being Saw yesterday and Bill and Ted today. So maybe they are doing but they didn't announce it publicly. I don't know just something I thought I would bring up.

Friday had Aiello posting pictures too. Maybe more will be coming through the week.

Hello all! First time posting here (long time reader) but I needed to escape nightmares for a moment in all its chaos over B&T (roadkill013 over there). Question, if this year is successful and well received could we see more years to come with a higher original house to IP ratio than the past few years? also side note thank you to everyone on here for keeping the spec alive. I'm a huge HHN fan and its fun to see how rumors and speculation grow and change over the months.

Welcome! as @Mad Dog would say

 

[RevFreako]

There is another rumor out there. I cannot vouch for it, but there is something else.

Is it brought to you by the letters E and T? Just blink once for yes and twice for no.

I wish. As the new (old?) adage goes revolving house/mazes "IPs sell tickets". Here's hoping the IPs (which have been stellar since I've been going to the event since 2015 as well as from what I hear about past events) blow everyone out of the water and make guests want more non-IP houses/mazes in the park.

Also welcome! :wave:

I think it works better as a zone personally. However, I don't think that rumor is true. But who knows.
