The scents haven't really been great since 2016. There was a great variety and they were all really strong (for better or for worse). In 2017 and 2018 they were definitely there, just not as much or as strong. I really only remember Saw, The Shining, Insidious, Trick 'r Treat, and Poltergeist having scents. This year definitely has lots of potential in the scent department and the fact that Murdy's looking for a new vendor excites me. Here's some potential scents that I thought could work well:
Ghostbusters
- Burnt marshmallow for Stay Puft
- Maybe some sort of sour scent for the ectoplasm
Creepshow
- Rotting flesh & birthday cake for the Father's Day segment
- Salty sea spray for the Something to Tide You Over segment
Klowns
- Forest/Trees assuming the maze starts with the big top in the forest from the movie
- Popcorn for the popcorn gun/popcorn creatures
- Cotton candy for the cocoons (a no-brainer)
Holidayz
- Champagne and/or baby powder for New Year's
- Cheap cologne/perfume for Valentine's
- Forest/Trees for St. Patrick's (maybe burning flesh too, assuming that molten gold gag plays a bigger part)
- Marshmallow and/or chocolate for Easter
- Smoke/Gunpowder for 4th of July
- A general meat smell for Thanksgiving
- Pine for Christmas
Us
- Salty sea spray for any potential scenes that take place on the boardwalk/beach
- Forest/Trees for any potential scenes that take place outside the house
- Smoke for any potential scenes that include a fire gag with Pluto
As for the others, I'm sure there are some notable smells that could be included but I haven't seen Corpses, I haven't finished S2 of Stranger Things, I don't know enough about Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman, and Pandora's Box is just a wildcard.
