I know Murdy has a bit of a distaste for icons, but a maze like this would probably lend pretty well into some kind of old-hollywood icon character, which I've always thought would be a pretty clean fit for Hollywood just as a park. I can dream I guess.My hopes may be too high, but I want to see the Hotel of Horror become the basis for HHN Hollywood specific lore. It's already got a very elaborate backstory
Does anyone have the link to the tweets about the hotel concept? Or can explain what it is?
Honestly, I'm surprised that Killer Klowns didn't drop at MSS today due to the Chiodo Bros being there today only. Not to mention the familiar circus tent facade has been uncovered/exposed.
So the fact that an original was announced was completely unexpected.
I understand, but I will take an original anyway over another Saw. Hopefully there won’t be a ton of black walls in the houses.I’m still not a fan of Murdy originals. I don’t think it’s a strength of his or the Hollywood event, in general. (I’m in the minority here, but so it goes.) That said, I understand the nature of IP. It’s super unrealistic to expect fresh marquee horror properties (or even the more niche ones) to come to HHN year in and year out.
Plus, as a creative person, Murdy is probably super excited to work within his own imagination and not someone else’s. Hopefully that draws out some extra flavor from these original houses, because I’ll be super disappointed if it’s just a bunch of Pandora’s Box-level phone-ins.

Pandora's Box gets way too much crap when in reality it was very underrated. Has Hollywood's event seen a lot of the scare tactics & other stuff in other mazes from previous years? Sure. But even those that have attended Orlando's event long enough see the same thing (though most will deny it). Recycled sets & props? So what, it worked cohesively. Was the maze perfect? No. But it was one of the stronger ones in 2019I’ll be super disappointed if it’s just a bunch of Pandora’s Box-level phone-ins
Tbh, as much as Pandora's Box didn't lend to the promise the title suggested in terms of its ties to greek myths, Murdy honestly seems to be pretty comfortable when it comes to original content with specific historical ties, especially within 20th century America. It's very much a "write what you know" kind of situation, and he definitely seems familiar with the era. Even as a replacement maze, I have high hopes for this. Based on the amount of backstory and detail in those newspaper pages alone, this seems like something he's pretty passionate about.I’m still not a fan of Murdy originals.
