I was there in person at the panel! Some takeaways:
-Bride sounds like it'll be a good maze. I dig the design for the church and the lab inside. At least they're putting some effort into the scenic instead of just throwing all of their past Monsters set walls in there. I also like how they're putting some effort into the transitions with the storybook art as opposed to just black walls.
-The track Murdy played for soundtrack sounded great until the dubstep hit. Cut that part out and you have a solid opening track for the maze.
-The make-up looks legitimately GOOD. I really like the design for the Bride and the vampire brides. I also dig the story-driven progression for the maze.
-Like the concept for the scarezone, but not a fan of the name. It's too long and too fan-fiction/tumblr-ish. I think a better name would've been Universal Monsters Mistresses (or for Murdy "Mistressez) or Mistress of the Monsters. Something more straight-to-the-point and less like a show title for the CW.
-I like the idea of projecting fake trailers for the scarezone. I wonder what took Murdy so long to come up with projections for the scarezone. I sounds like they're finally going to put a
little more effort into designing the shows. Although it'll probably just be a little cart of wheels that shows screens.
-I love how he clearly did not give out the theme for the Tram knowing that the crowd would not respond well to the tired and recycled Purge theme returning. We all know why he didn't announce it.
-Also Murdy said that we are finally doing a female eccentric maze (If I recall at least), but I guess he forgot La Llorona. Happy ten year anniversary to one of my favorite HHNH houses ever btw!
Finally, when Murdy says that he loves the monsters, I think he should clarify that he mainly cares about Frankenstein.
