Halloween Horror Nights 29 General Discussion

[Spaulding]

I can't disagree strongly enough on HoTC. That is a hell of a fun movie, with its only shortcoming being the ending. The original ending would have made a hell of a lot more sense.

It's honestly in my top 5 horror movies of all time. I enjoy it no matter how many times I watch it. But I also have terrible taste in movies, so that might explain why

I wonder if the 'family friendly while still being intense' talk could be related to this?

IS THIS REAL

 

[SlasherVillain]

It was. It was in my short list.

And it was on my speculation list the day before your short list ;P It came from my idea of a possible interpretation of the Bob's Burger's clue.

Yeah, I took all the viable ideas before Legacy said that IP hadn't been mentioned 'till he said that it had been flirted with. I then took away each one that had been made in the last 10 years. That was my short list.

Yep, which was why I went further with the speculation of it being included with the other IPs. Glad we can cross it off.

 

[NuteGunrayWasFramed]

For those of you keeping up:

Donnie Darko (My personal guess)
The Strangers (Legacy states it's not from the last ten years, and it was made in 2009 so this is probably out)
The Collector (See above)
Ghoulies

I didn't include the Warriors in the post because the content isn't really scary. It would work better as a zone, anyways.

I'm kinda lost on what's been actually ruled out, what connects to what clue, etc. so apologies if my guess was already scuttled or not. What about Invasion of the Body Snatchers for the Johnny Bananas clue?

• Older movie that I'm pretty sure nobody has mentioned
• The GIF itself looks like Johnny Bananas making the same face as the famous Donald Sutherland scream from the movie.
• Legacy keeps using smiley faces in post, but only in regards to this clue. Could just be a coincidence, but it's very pod peopleish.
• I think one post he mentioned the word anyone in italics, i.e. "they could be anyone"
• Someone mentioned Men in Black, which he said was a good idea, which fits aliens hiding as people. Also, he edited that post to include Frank the Pug, alien disguised as a talking dog in a suit. No suited dogs in Body Snatchers, but there is Banjo:

I love Donnie Darko, but does it have enough scenes for a house? Maybe they can make it work like they did with the Exorcist. But maaaan, hearing Tears for Fears all throughout that house would be worth it.

 

[NuteGunrayWasFramed]

I love Donnie Darko, but does it have enough scenes for a house?

Personally, I don’t think it does but it sorta matches up to the Bob’s Burgers clue and could definitely be associated with “pressure” (water pressure, peer pressure, teens under pressure, Frank pressures Donnie to do things)

 

[Skipper Justin]

There was a whole Scooby doo episode of Supernatural that was more adult oriented than the show normally is. That being said, I just don’t see it coming to HHN.

 

[captainryborg]

I still feel like the unnamed IP is older.

The house for the Bananas clue HAS been mentioned (though no one has connected it).

The solution to the Bob’s Burgers is the struggle, but the solution has been flirted with.

 

[jrn14]

IOTBS is a great guess based on those clues... I actually love that movie!

 

[captainryborg]

@Legacy Has the talk on more than 10 houses this year been shut down or is it still within the realm of possibilities?

I think that was a hopeful idea that never made it off the drawing board.

I did something similar on my own. However, I started thinking, and it seems to me that “flirted with” might not be synonymous with “outright mentioned.”

Yeah, I now realize that. Trying to decipher this is giving me headaches :smash:

Because “flirted with” ISN’T synonymous with “outright mentioned.”

“Flirted with” means “right idea, wrong answer.”
