HHN 28: Dead Exposure: Patient Zero

[Returning-The-Reaction]

UV flashes confirmed:

The twisted minds behind Halloween Horror Nights are bringing a fan favorite house back in an all-new terrifying way with Dead Exposure: Patient Zero. Guests will be thrust into Paris in 1982, where a virus is turning people into vicious zombies. As they try to escape the living dead, they will be engulfed in darkness where they will only see what’s lurking in the shadows under bright flashes of UV lights. But beware – guests will never know where someone or something may be hiding…

I was more excited before I watched the video of the old one. Looked kind of boring. Can anyone with firsthand experience share an opinion? Description sounds terrifying, video looks "blah."

Videos don’t do it justice due to quality of cameras 10 years ago, and hard to capture the effects. The whole point of the House was darkness. Zombies were just secondary.

It won “house of the year”, if that helps.

I’d have it maybe in the bottom part of my Top 30 all time.

Don't let the video fool you, it's a whole lot different when you're walking through it. The original was pretty terrifying. One minute you'd see one zombie, and then there were 4 more. Nothing next to you, and then 2 coming right at you. Plus the sound effects were really spot on. A real sensory experience.

Pretty sure that was how the strobes in the original worked.

The house from 18 is in my top-10 all time. One of the very few HHN houses that ever gave me a sense of dread and serious trepidation. I will say that it seems people had mixed reactions to this house throughout the event's run. I think the intensity was tamed down at points during the event.

:whistle:

The characters of Catacombs being "Patient Zero" would be AWESOME. This would make Catacombs a prequel to Dead Exposure/Zombiegeddon.

BTW, here's the layout of the original. You can see bar looking things over the "piped corridor" scene, which I'm 99% sure were UV lights.

 

[horrornights789]

Sooo yeah the description says it takes place in 1982; I guess the 80s theme is happening

 

[JungleSkip]

If there was a crossover with Catacombs, it would have been mentioned. We may go into the Paris catacombs, but I doubt there will be any crossover with the HHN House, save for maybe an easter egg

I suspect it will be in one of the Sprungs.

I can confirm this One.

 

[happy bunny rabbit]

Wouldn't be surprised if this fellow turned around and had a new-age plague doctor mask on.

 

[Mr. EPCOT]

Nice to see an original house get an actual teaser video. Makes me hopeful for a proper queue video.

Will it have an online interactive game on the website tho

 

[horrornights789]

I can confirm this One.

Wonder how they’ll fit the Paris aesthetic and landmarks into a Tent. I’m sure it’ll be fine though; ugh I’m so excited for this house

That makes me hopeful.

Sprung One it is! That still saves Sprung Two for an IP (which seems to be how they have been running things the past few years).

Yep, Hive was supposed to be Conjuring.

There's a lot more to Paris than landmarks.
