Seeing as we probably won't get much original content at HHN for a while, we might as well wishfully imagine some cool IPs they could utilize in the next few years. All the scary movies on TV lately have really inspired me. So what would be your IP-based lineup for 2014?
Mine:
1. Quarantine - would honestly be such a great, intense house. So many scenes/sets in the film make it seem like a no brainer (Soundstage)
2. The Descent - the sets would be simple (a la Catacombs) but claustrophobia would play a huge part in making a house like this unique. (Sprung tent)
3. The Hills Have Eyes (remake) - the opportunity for some really creepy and detailed sets (gas station, nuclear town) and stellar makeup for mutants would make for a great house. Also a good opportunity for aggressive scares and lots of gore. (Soundstage)
4. The Shining - only because the Overlook Hotel is so iconic and associated with nightmares. I imagine this house would focus more on ghosts with only a few appearances by Jack, but so many great settings could be used. (Soundstage)
5. Black Christmas - I loved what they did with Psychoscareapy in 2007, and that macabre juxtaposition of Christmas cheer and Halloween makes for a great potential house. (Disaster)
6. Alien - again, great sets potential. And after seeing what they can do with the Americam werewolf, I'm positive a xenomorph puppet would be insanely scary. (Soundstage)
7. Suspiria - I'm not a huge fan of this film, but its use of color is astounding. Translating that into a house would be so visually impressive, and maybe even make for a cool 3-D house. (Sprung tent)
8. The Amityville Horror (original) - I have a soft spot for this movie in that for some reason it really freaked me out seeing it as a kid. I see this being largely effects-based, but also with a very dark ending. (Parade building)
