I honestly want a daylight maze pretty bad. Midsommar would be pretty tight. Hoping Us has some elements of that for the boardwalk.

I mean, I dunno how exactly they’d pull off daylight scenes without the set becoming brutally obvious. Not to mention all the scenes where things actually happen on the boardwalk are at night pretty much.

Remind me: does anything scary actually happen on the boardwalk? The funhouse scenes technically aren't on the boardwalk, and the scene with the first tethered on the beach is technically boardwalk adjacent. Maybe I'm missing some.

Stranger Things 2, probably. Maybe they'll spare a little time for Killer Klownz a la 2017, but I kinda doubt it; they have a maze to announce, after all.

Hope they talk a little about what to expect in Stranger Things, as they've been secretive about that for awhile.

Any ideas for the opening scaremony? I'm thinking some kind of japanese metal band for music (Maximum the Hormone, Dir En Grey. etc) probably with some dubstep breakdown as per usual. Maybe an actor dressed as a postman wheeling in a large box, and than a creature breaking out and "killing" him, similarly to Purge (2016?). Could also be Fallen Angelz themed instead, with one of the Hell's Angels inspired characters on a motor bike like Orlando's purge zone.

It seems Creepshow or Pandora’s Box is up next, but I’m curious to see which they choose to announce and focus on during the panel. Creepshow would be good for a panel and to get people excited but Pandora’s seems like it has a lot to explain concept wise

Could be that Pandora's Box is just a simple, B-movie premise a la Scary Tales over on the other coast. Like, Pandora's Box has opened and the denizens of Hell are invading the upper world! Or some artifact thieves have opened Pandora's Box!

Funnily enough, I don't think they'll use Midsummer's to give a deep dive on a completely original concept. Midsummer is an event where Murdy gets to go scene by scene on a maze, and I don't think they'll do it for an original. When you're doing a scene-by-scene of a maze based on a famous movie, there's already a hook for fans - "Here's how we do the 'Here's Johnny' scene!" "Here's how we do Dracula and his brides!" "Here's how we do the Easter bunny!" But if you have an original idea, you got no frame of reference.

And that can be exciting, true, but it can also drag on - have you ever had a friend who's a screenwriter who wants to give you a scene-by-scene of his super awesome original screenplay that's gonna be the next Avengers? And it goes on for an hour? There's nothing to keep you hooked, and you just kinda keep nodding your head. It's why people tell you to start a movie pitch with how your movie is similar to other movies, because that gives your audience a frame of reference and gets them excited about how you could jump off and twist the premise.

With that in mind, I can see Murdy using the time to announce Pandora's Box and saying the maze is a riff on famous movies like The Sentinel or Hellraiser or something, and that way the Midsummer audience knows what they're getting into, but I think it's more likely that Murdy will just take the time to announce our exclusive IP and get people excited for how they'll adapt Jordy Verill or something. I think Pandora's Box will be the last announcement, and they'll just keep it a short and sweet premise trailer: "Demons have invaded Los Angeles!" or something, and then they'll just let the audience use their imaginations.

You just reminded me of something. Remember waaaay back in Winter when rumors of Hellraiser were persisting? What if those rumors were actually Pandora's Box?
