HHN 28: Vamp 85: New Year's Eve

[RJ MacReady]

I hope they only do the ball dropping once the sun sets. I want to experience that at night.

Then just go after the sun sets

Then just go after the sun sets

can you avoid the zone if you are trying to get houses in around that area? poltergeist and scary look as if they are very close to Vamp when looking at the map.

 

[P@n!K_Sw1tC#]

Maybe just look away if it means that much to you.

 

[RJ MacReady]

cool. Still think that effect should be saved for after dusk. imho.

easy, leave those houses to do after night. do everything else and when the sun sets do those two houses. win win

Only a win-win if you have express since the lines will be ridiculous for all the houses the later into the night it gets.

hes going to have to sacrifice between not seeing the ball drop before night falls or doing a 1 hour line.
he has to choose whats more important lol

Sophie's choice

Sophie's choice

The ball drops every half hour so you can avoid it till night. Don't worry too much.

 

[Nick]

This zone is such a party and I love everything about it. Parts of it actually remind me of B&T in a way.

 

[Lucky Planet]

A little nitpick, but it seems like not all vampires had fangs, some didnt have anything and some had these weird big teeth ( but not fangs, just like big long teeth)

Just weird, i know people might not notice but it was odd to see. Kinda takes you out of the mindset of the zone.

I definitely feel like it is more than just every half hour. I feel like its 2 to 3 songs and then "Shoot to Thrill"

 

[Chumpieboy]

Playlist was really short. Expected more from the zone. I get the playlist is part of the show timing (i.e. the end of the playlist is "Shoot To Thrill" and the ball drops, reset then start over with the playlist) but there could have been multiple playlists?

So the backstory I didn't get - Vamp '55 was clear - vampires attacked a homecoming sock hop prom in the 50s and all the participants were turned and roam the SZ. Easy concept.

Vamp 85 was what? In-universe - were these supposed to be celebrity impersonators turned into vampires? The real celebs themselves? It's NYE and the one stage by Mummy was attacked and *those* performers killed? But the stage with the ball was spared?

Cool concept but confusing implementation.

/"MAKE SOME NOISE!!!!"

They are not the real celebrities.

They are fans dressed up as their favorite celebrities.
