The acidic eggs part is giving me Alien vibes .. stoked for this one

Goofiness of the “mouthbrooders” name aside, this one sounds pretty interesting!

 

[ChaseTuff]

Both the tent houses sound super intense this year.

My feelings on the "Mouthbrooders" name aside, this sounds like a lot of fun.

I expect some screen usage. During the mermaid scene in Scary Tales they created a nice screen effect to produce depth.

So basically Alien meets Thing meets Deep Blue Sea?

 

[SeventyOne]

This one will live and die on its creature design, but I have high hopes.

 

[JungleSkip]

Basically ALIEN without the IP branding. Into it.

(Mouthbrooders is goofy and I love it)

 

[Legacy]

Everything I've heard about this describes it as more akin to "Interstellar Terror" and "Havoc" than anything else. Expect far more crazed crew members than monsters as the scare. Also, it'll predominantly be on the sub; not in the water.

 

[Necessaryevil]

I expect to get wet in this house.

Burst pipes, mouthbrooders spitting eggs at you (via water guns in the dark to create the illusion), water from the ceiling in a rain effect etc.

 

[horrornights789]

This is Pressure right? Curious how they’ll make a facade considering this is underwater. Maybe a submarine facade with blue lighting on the tent?

 

[Brian G.]

I'd imagine it'd be a transport system/elevator, to sell the whole "going underwater".

Cymothoa Exigua, the tongue-eating louse, is a very real mouthbrooder. The moment I read the name for these creatures, I shivered.

There was a horror movie about them in 2012 called The Bay

Mouthbrooding, also known as oral incubation and buccal incubation, is the care given by some groups of animals to their offspring by holding them in the mouth of the parent for extended periods of time. Although mouthbrooding is performed by a variety of different animals, such as the Darwin's frog, fishes are by far the most diverse mouthbrooders. Mouthbrooding has evolved independently in several different families of fish.

 

[Spaulding]

Of all the announced and speculated originals this is the one I was most excited for.

Can't wait to swim with the fishies!

Yes. Which is why they would be able to spit their eggs. That doesn’t change the first image to come into my mind when reading about a deep sea parasite called a mouthbrooder.

I picture isopods replacing tongues.

I should have put “mouthbrooder” in quotes. Although, cymothoa exigua doesn’t brood in its own mouth, it does brood in a mouth.

Given that the crew goes crazy from infection, my initial impression has changed.

I’m now picturing a horrific combination of C. exigua and Sacculina carcini.

S. carcini is the parasitic barnacle. It is a parasitic castrator that zombifies the crab it infects.

The ocean is a frightening place sometimes.
