Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (HHN 2024)

I’m going to come out and say actively wanting “kids” and “families” at HHN *IS* an issue! This is not an event catering to a general audience, it’s a GA that finds amusement in horror and adrenaline through getting scared, if not being absorbed by the atmosphere alone! Saying you welcome GB because it extends HHN’s hand to that audience only asks for neutering of the event in Hollywood’s eye which is already MUCH more difficult compared to the liberties and quick changes HHNO can make for their daytime crowd.

Yep, agree with this completely. And isn't this part of the reason for that rumored summer after-hours event? I love the idea of a Universal Studios Popular Intellectual Property Night where people can hang out in immersive settings based on family-friendly popcorn movies like Ghostbusters and E.T. and The Blues Brothers. That sounds really cool, I'd go in a heartbeat. Let's keep HHN focused on horror.

Ghosts. Lots of ghosts. And the "death chill"

I want a giant Garraka puppet, some clever usage of Slimer for nostalgia, a neat shimmery ghost effect for the Melody character, and hopefully some creative monsters possessed by the red little poltergeist that hopped into the stone lions in the movie.

So just like the 2019 house, this will feature a lot of franchise references (except the animated series). It's Frozen Empire: featuring the Ghostbusters greatest hits.

Curious to see all the special effects implemented. And it's crazy that the event is so close & they're still scrambling around to complete the house/set details.

I like how the team is leaning into the houses genre and not just trying to create the same thing in each one, playing to their strengths

This is the one upside of getting articles from different media... there's always different photos of the same things revealing new things.

Sewer dragon & finale are what I want to see most now. Obviously

Can we talk about how the facade seems to have two animated figures? One for Slimer, and one for the Taxi driver?

Genuinely--in love with that; and in love with how layered the facade is. It looks like a backwall corner tucked away in the big city.

I could be wrong I think the Taxi Driver was at the last house. Glad Slimer will be there away well to entertain people as they wait

Taxi Driver was in 2019--it's great to see him back; but I am more amazed that they're finding a way to have an outdoor Slimer encounter.
