HHN Hollywood General Discussion - 2017

[HHNManics]

Thinking that Murdy might tease a Maze Announcement at Monsterpalooza like last year ("The Exorcist") and then announce "The Shining" with Orlando a few days later.

Murdy is leaving me with a bad case of blue balls on Maze #5 haha.

Might have found a connection with The Big Chill and Psycho.... will post if I can gather more information. 


EDIT: Alright - here it goes, with some huge help from HHNManics. 


"The Big Chill" (ST) features several connections to themes found in Hitchcock's "Psycho" 


- "I heard it through the Grapevine" was written by Norman Whitfield.


- "My Girl" features the lyric, "When it's cold outside, I've got the Month of May" (Mother's Day is in May)


- Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" alludes to Marvin talking to his mother when questioning what is happening around him. 


So... thoughts?

I like the idea of a Psycho maze but wouldn't it be a bit awkward for it to be at the event despite there already being the motel and house that won't be used for this?

No the house on the tram ride cannot be used because it is only for viewing. Plus "Psycho" has never been at Hollywood as a Maze and it's highly requested at Orlando (Well a Alfred Hitchcock Maze has been highly requested at Orlando) so I could see them doing a Shared "Psycho" Maze.

Yeah, that's a good point.

Also there is a really interesting post about "Hellraiser" not coming to the event that I thought I would point out https://hhnunofficial.com/2017/03/05/rumor-hellraiser-no-no-no/

I'm just saying if we got a Psycho maze, I'd get Frequent Fear. My cat's name is Norman Bates. My dedication is strong.

I also made a connection with Psycho but with a different code name, "Charles". Marion Crane trades her car in a used car dealership after she stole $40,000. The car dealer's name is California Charlie. Murdy also said he wrote a very iconic scene in the treatment that's nearly impossible to be translated in a house. Could he be talking about the infamous shower scene? I could be wrong and The Big Chill could be Psycho, but it's a possibility.

Unless you count the series Bates Motel.

If you remember the house of horrors there was a Psycho section and there was a shower scene Scare in there. Since John designed the house of horrors he would have experience in working with that scene so I don't think it would be nearly impossible since he designed a scene like it before

I'm just glad I'm not the only one counting Psycho as a possibility! If it came, huge props to the Uni team.

 

[darkshadow237]

Most likely it won't happen, but wonder how a maze based off Bayonetta would work?

 

[Timberfellingrobot]

When does construction for the event usually start? I am going to Universal within 2 months or less and 'maybe' I could catch a glimpse of the houses.

Usually in May. Last year construction started first on the JP Queue ("Halloween Hell Comes To Haddonfield") in Early May.

Oh okay. I'm probably going in April so I want see much at all. Even if I did, I don't think I would be allowed to share it. 

 

[HorrorNightsFan13]

We will have multiple scarezone themes this year, not just one theme like The Purge in 2016

 

[HHNManics]

Also Murdy finished the Treatment for another Maze (Probably the one with the Disks) and it is 72 Pages Long. For the next two weeks Murdy is designing "a bit of a Science project" for the event so expect the unexpected.

Hopefully the rumored Classic Monsters Scare Zone makes a come back. 

 

[razor14]

i hope we get a classic universal monsters scare zone and no dub step i would prefer this. The song has such a beautiful tone but yet so creepy and ambient which would fit perfectly in the scare zone.
