HHN 33 Tribute Store

[Disneyson1]

Humbly submitting this as part of the “& More” section…!

Starting this thread because I wasn’t sure there was a more appropriate location for this question: Is the intention with the design this year that we’re connecting to “The Museum: Deadly Exhibits”? If so, is there callback to the Tribute Store/ a Bathilda Scareactor in Deadly Exhibits? And is the concept that she somehow activated the stone?

I feel that a great alternative concept could have been delivered related to that “Beating Heart” of Otis. I wonder who the Tribute Store talks to more: the Marketing team or the Houses?

Like this year's icons & their execution, the tribute store is definitely..... a choice. I just watched a full walk-through of it & yea, I can't defend that. I don't even understand what they were trying to do here.

Okay... soooo considering Batilda is a nin-human creature, they need to scrap the "serial killer" label.

Also, after reading their description of what the Tribute Store is supposed to be, I feel like we were seriously robbed of Fright Yard 2.0 for NY & also a Batilda house. (Better icon than the current duo?)

In other news, I'm gonna need one of you Orlando peeps to bring me that "Mel's Die-In" dessert jar thingy. Don't worry. It'll survive the trip to the west coast!

Very true. By that logic things like sharks and alligators would be considered “serial killers”

JAWS was misunderstood. He just wanted a hug.

Same with Betty White's gator in Lake Placid. RIP to that duo..

Yeah is this supposed to be connected to the Museum house? Or even the Monstrous house?

A shipping container with no sign lighting has little curb appeal either to bring people in.

To end on a positive note ... I love what they have been doing with the City Walk store for HHN

This was more fit for last year with Last of Us. I guess it goes with the punk theme of abandoned urban exploration, but it’s just not that eye catching.
I miss the IP themed rooms, the Beetlejuice, Ghostbusters, UCM rooms were amazing

Who exactly is the killer?

Watch the broadcast warning that plays in the first room. I can count on one hand how many times HHN has shown something that genuinely scares me, and that's one of them.

The way it's presented like an actual emergency broadcast warning, the robotic voice, and I think what's scariest: 'UNKNOWN ENTITY AT LARGE. REMAIN INDOORS.'
