HHN 28: Horrors of Blumhouse

[Brian G.]

Partnering with the creative minds at Blumhouse Productions for the 2nd year in a row, Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort will each feature a “best-of” compilation maze.

At Universal Orlando Resort, “The Horrors of Blumhouse” maze will feature Happy Death Day and The First Purge.

Talk about lucking out on the better two.

Excited to see what the Orlando team has en store for HDD, as that could be exciting.

I’d rather this than the version Hollywood got, no contest.

 

[ChaseTuff]

The video announcement was actually kinda cool, with the Babyface Killer pushing over the Purge TV.

I'm pumped for HDD, that could be really fun.

The First Purge was the first Purge I didn't see right in theaters, ironically enough. Looks cool enough I guess.

But yeah, this is my lowest anticipated.

Well I said if HDD came I’d hold my hands up and say I was wrong for doubting it. Not sure what to think of this one. Could be fun, or awful. Will reserve judgement until I’ve done it

Don't you have to eat a hat or shoe or something?

 

[Drummanmatt]

I didn’t say I’d eat my hat lol, not that daft!

Who would’ve guessed.

Last year, I had no opinion on Blumhouse till I saw the films, so I think I’ll need to watch these two to have an opinion this year.

Last year, I truly enjoyed the Sinister bits, they were the most true to the film for me. Insidious was about half there for me personally, especially because most of the house featured content I couldn’t connect with. The Purge... I dunno. I know the story of what happened and it was alright.

I wonder if they’ll keep the facade from last year, or if they’ll have a similar finale. Depending on the rights situation, I wonder if (in the finale) Bugguhl and the Red-Faced Demon could appear, due to the fact that they already have the costumes.

Not sure on the facade, but the finale is a scene from First Purge.

Facade if you look in the construction thread is definitely the same from last year.

Should have just been HDD, but we got the better options for sure

My post on HNN:
Honest to god, I wouldn't care if we got HDD or Unfriended, they're equal in terms of design potential IMO. One has fun ideas with repeated rooms, and the other can get very abstract and trippy. I only prefer Purge over Truth or Dare due to costume design, as the possibilities and designs with TFP are vastly more interesting than ToD's.

Admittedly me personally wanting HDD over anything else was due to the fact it was an actual good film in my opinion. I also did kinda want Unfriended just for the blender scene...that would have made the whole dumbness worth it.

HDD was a ton of fun. It's also an interesting challenge to tackle in a house, so I wish it could have had the whole thing to breathe

They do make good horror movies! The problem is they've all been used...

Purge, Insidious, Happy Death Day, Ouija, and Sinister are all solid, maze-ready properties. All but one has been used.

The other great films they have made - Split, Get Out, Paranormal Activity, Oculus, Hush - are all either not maze-ready or not controlled by Universal.

They do occasionally put out turds, like any studio. It just so happens that these particular turds were very financially successful.

I completely agree, but I got to thinking and I could see Orlando’s designers getting creative to not make Unfriended a Hollywood-esque black walls house.


It would be the quintessential SCREENZ house.

You can say that about IPs in general at this point. Damn near every IP has either already been used, is out of reach, isn’t marketable to a general audience (they can get away with one of these per year house-wise), would be VERY difficult to translate into houses, or (and this one won’t bother management unfortunately) are too family friendly for the event.

Moderately looking forward to this house. Obviously HDD is the part to be more excited about, but The First Purge has scenes that could potentially be good in this.
