Halloween Horror Nights 2018 (USH) General Discussion

[horrornights789]

So basically it’ll be PG13 Torture Porn(ToD) and Suicide & Human Trafficking(Unfriended 1&2) The Maze. Would almost rather they just throw in Insidious again

 

[DTH]

It just seems odd that the "antagonists" of those 2 movies were somehow seen as "terrifying enough" to recreate in a live haunted attraction.

They did a giant baby head the first year of HOB, so I wouldn't be surprised. A whole maze on it though, def would surprise me.

They have a giant creepy anime grin on their face... it pretty much sells itself for scareactors. And its simple to do, not to mention effective in the dark setting of a maze.

Considering the maze hasn't been announced yet, don't stress and worry about. If it happens, oh well... and I'll laugh when people say it was the most intense segment of the maze (not likely, but possible). As I said before... just wait for the announcements to happen. At this rate, its not even speculation, its being treated as fact as if it was announced when the rumors could end up wrong.

 

[hhnlover]

to anyone who has seen unfriended dark web. if the rumors are correct what scenes are we possible to see?

 

[DTH]

I'm really hoping Split makes it into HOB, seems like a great promo opportunity for Glass.
Even if it's not, I'm sure they'll show the trailer on that wall where they always have a projector.
Halloween showed a bit of footage at Comic-Con, apparently even a few kills. Doesn't seem like they're too worried about their project showing too much. Hoping this ends up in the HOB as well.

Y’all are talking about the house facade for Poltergeist while I went out and saw the REAL house this afternoon.

 

[Wesker69]

@Freak ....you need to straighten yourself out... you're sideways...

 

[NuteGunrayWasFramed]

After rewatching Poltergeist and Poltergeist 2, I'm convinced that we'll get a little of both in the house.

What you couldn't watch Poltergeist 3 too? That has some fun scares perfect for HHN....

That's the beauty about the trilogy being centered around Carol-Anne because you can easily use stuff from all 3 films rather than just strictly the first. Focus on the ghosts/scares, less on the family.... except for that epic braces scene from the 2nd film.. LOVE THAT.

 

[AlexanderMBush]

MageeFX will be collaborating for this year's event.



Their previous contributions for HHN have ranged from The Exorcist back in '16 and with The Shining from last year's event.

 

[DTH]

Are they the ones who've given us the horrible priest and Jack masks?
Something tells me it's for TOD.
But I don't know why he'd be so excited for that.
Hopefully it's whatever Waterworld is as one of the other "classic" attractions this year.

For some examples..







They also worked on some of the Grinchmas molds for The Grinch (and the Who's).

(EDIT: They also worked on a lot of other things for HHN, ranging back for as far as I can see..maybe 2008 with the Freddy Snake Head)

They've worked with Universal for a long while; and to my understanding, this year will be possibly to a larger extent.

 

[DTH]

Oh okay, these guys are good than! Very much dig their work! I suspect it'll be either for Poltergeist or UCM.

Looking through that, I noticed a Beetlejuice head and I never realized how much I wanted a maze for that until now lol

 

[AlexanderMBush]

I would be shocked if they aren't involved with Truth or Dare and perhaps even Stranger Things for the demorgorgon (considering that they were seemingly responsible for AvP's Xenomorphs to what I can tell).

 

[Wesker69]

Also @DTH ... Murdy even stated that he wrote this maze back in Dec 2017, its possible but highly unlikely that it'd be related to Blumhouse in any capacity.

They did most of the mask work last year, both good and bad. All the new Insidious masks, Ash vs Evil Dead, Blumhouse, the works.

Unfortunately the local library doesn't carry the third...

As soon as the braces scene happened, my girlfriend looked at me and said "If that's not in the house, they're idiots."

 

[Wesker69]

Yea anytime any of my friends would be getting braces... I would ALWAYS leave them the link to that scene 0 Of course, if anyone hated going to the dentist, I'd always share the song/scene from "Little Shop of Horrors" with them lol I'm terrible.

But yes.. I pretty much rank the braces scene with the "Welcome to Prime Time, B**ch" scene in NOES 3 ...very easy to do in a maze. Instead of a dummy in a tv, you have a dummy strung up by metal wires

 

[horrornights789]

Has anyone seen Unfriended: The Dark Web yet? If so is there anything usable? The reviews seem to be mixed and it’s doing ok for an independent film but I still don’t see them doing it

 

[DTH]

Haven't seen it, but they're not gonna do it, don't believe the rumors or spec on it lol
