HHN 26: American Horror Story

[Brian G.]

Universal Orlando has announced that popular TV show, FX’s American Horror Story, is coming to Halloween Horror Nights 26!

The house is slated to feature scenes and characters from Season 1 (Murder House), Season 4 (Freak Show), and Season 5 (Hotel); so get ready to meet Twisty the Clown in the flesh.

It me. I am hype.

 

[Christian G]

Long time lurker here. Been a fan of the show since season one. Most anticipated and glad they are using multiple season. This house is going to be amazing thematic wise. :faint:

 

[kingcooger]

I am excited for this because it allows for so many different things in the way of creature and set design. Do I expect it to flow thematically? Heck, no. That being said it should still be cool.

I really hope the rumor someone mentioned about it being a multi year deal with seasons 2,3, and 6 on the way for next year is true as season 2 is my favorite by far.

Edit: depending upon how many rooms season one gets, I would love to see the Elizabeth Short on the dinner table scene.

Now that its confirmed, time to start re-watching these seasons!

I hope season one gets the bulk of the house, as it is the strongest IMO.

Yeah, I'd hope they would give Murder House the first half, then just a scene or two from Freak Show, then finish with a good amount of Hotel. Freak Show has the least interesting visuals, reuse the Jack tent from M&M last year and have a Mordrake and Twisty scare. I would LOVE it if as a joke they had the Swedish girls in front of the facade for Hotel asking where Fast & Furious is.

I'm ready for Twisty. And super hype for the house in general.

Can't wait for this. Glad it's a compilation. I wonder if they will have some Coven references. I liked that season but seems the majority didn't.

 

[kingcooger]

Of the three they picked, I agree.

In fact, I am having a hard time picking out what visuals they would even use from season 4 other than the circus grounds andTwisty's broken down jail. For characters they have plenty of choices, but the settings seem very same-y to me.

I've been watching the seasons in preparation for this and just finished Coven. A little disappointed Asylum isn't included, because Bloody Face would make for some good scares (and, of course, they could assign a bunch of scareactors to constantly dance to The Name Game), but I'm still pretty excited. I can see the girl standing right at the entrance to the house telling guests "You're going to die in there."

I think Asylum wasn't chosen because too similar to Chance's house.

Reason it's only a few seasons.... what if it's a smash hit? You bring back 2, 3, and 6 next year.

 

[KarSamBur]

Ah yes, with Chance's house it makes sense.

Exactly!

Assuming it gets renewed for a seventh season and they signed a multi year deal, I could see the third iteration being season 7.

I imagine we'll see the circus entrance facade, Elsa's dressing room, a main circus floor/tent and Twisty's school bus jail....maybe a quick scene inside Dandy's house? Definitely an encounter with Mordrake too.

Mordrake is a must. In fact, the should just recreate the atmosphere of that Halloween two parter in a couple of scenes and call it a day

Yup.. season 1 could be the "anchor" for this year's house. Next year they'll need another anchor for the other 3 seasons and unless season 6 beats our Asylum (S2), then Asylum could be next year's anchor.

TWD + AHS megahouse. Oh yay. Joy. I can't wait. This is exactly what I want from HHN.

:bored:

I'm also a little concerned about this, but I'd at least give AHS the leg up that it has a variety of themes and scares, rather than zombies over and over and over and over again.
