Halloween Horror Nights 2018 (USH) General Discussion

[NuteGunrayWasFramed]

They're unrelated; Murdy always does an FoL + Exclusive behind the scenes tour with him at each convention; same thing happened last year. It's no indication of whether or not RIP is coming back or not.

I appreciate the clarification!

 

[AlexanderMBush]

Basically the same thing as last August really.

There's a difference, in scarezones.

Last year, they revealed the full scarezone lineup at MSS; which led to 3 on 3.

This year, it's 3 on 1.5

So then no Killer Klowns???

Unfortunately no. Though Murdy did go on this mini speech about "just cause one park gets one thing and the other doesn't, doesn't mean that park will never get it". Not saying next year we're for sure getting KKFOS, but at least it implied he's keeping it in mind one day.

I haven't visited this thread in a while, but after all the WB and DH announcements this weekend, I knew I had to return to watch everyone lose their s**t. :grin:

For all the crap HHN Hollywood gets, I'm realizing one (among others, obviously) key difference between Hollywood and Orlando is the local competition. USH has KFB, the King of the original Haunt, about an hour away and going strong after 40+ years. About 30 minutes north is SFMM... admittedly inferior, but also more affordable. Dark Harbor now has a stronger force behind it, and WB down the street is now jumping headlong into the picture with both feet forward. Not to mention all the numerous independent events (ROT, Creep, Sinister Pointe, etc.).

Who's Orlando's main haunt competition? WDW doesn't seem to really count, as it's such a different demographic. And I know there's Busch Gardens Tampa, but that's about 2 hours away. I know there are a few local, independent haunts, but anyone else in the area that's serious competition for them? If not, that gives them a LOT more freedom to do things that we may not have the luxury of out here--where you have to be aware of what everyone else is doing and cater, change, and adapt your own plans to stand out from the crowd.

Y'all remember in 2010 when they announced their first maze in August, then everything else after that was a repeat? bahahaha. I don't complain anymore. That was genuine cruel and unusual punishment.

 

[MacMillian Crew]

Oh God, don't remind me about 2010. That was a mortifying year honestly. House of 1000 Corpses was the only saving grace.

 

[Freak]

Anyone on the panel ask Murdy about the black wallz?

 

[AlexanderMBush]

Oh God, don't remind me about 2010. That was a mortifying year honestly. House of 1000 Corpses was the only saving grace.

Aiello had that as his favorite house, actually for his experiences at Hollywood..

 

[chris.g]

House of 1000 Corpses was awesome. I'd like that back plz.

 

[horrornights789]

The panel today was pretty good, I just think Warner Bros’ was better since they literally announced their entire event. Does anyone remember last year’s panel? I don’t remember anything about it aside from The Shining so I’m just wondering if more was covered in this one or that one

 

[MacMillian Crew]

I remember being so shocked, after I visited that year, learning that the Captain Spaulding actors were wearing masks. I just assumed it was just fake beards and makeup only.

 

[DTH]

House of 1000 Corpses was awesome. I'd like that back plz.

I personally wasn't a fan. Didn't see the appeal. NOES and F13 were very much stronger despite being "repeats." Also Vampyre was pretty dang rad.

 

[Freak]

This is totally off the wall, but I had some dream that HHN announced a Three Days Grace house going in Parasian. Wouldn't surprise me at this point lol.

• "Featuring 8 terrifying mazes based on the most frightening films and television shows ever, including Netflix’s Stranger Things, Trick ‘r Treat, The First Purge and more new mazes yet to be announced!

[AlexanderMBush]

That key-art. :hail:

 

[AlexanderMBush]

DP,



The Wizarding World of Harry Potter will not be open during Halloween Horror Nights..again.

EDIT: Also note, the new DreamWorks Theater..is also closed.

 

[NuteGunrayWasFramed]

They're doing pre-sale tickets...yet haven't announced the dates. Also, why is express/ hopefully RIP included in this sale? It's so frustrating and feels disorganized.

 

[DTH]

The picture is gone, what is this exactly? AP Pre-sale?

Seems like it was originally deleted and now reposted.
