Jason Universe (HHN 34)

"Insidious times 10" is the most marketing thing I've ever heard

Every time I hear something like that, I can't help but think of Team America.

"It's gonna be 9/11 times 100."
"You mean..?"
"Yes. 91,100."

Yeah, the "Insidious times 10" is very much marketing hype and should absolutely be taken with a grain of salt. If the house packs a punch, let it do so on its own.

Now the comment I am excited to hear is the multiple versions of Jason that'll be in the house, there's a nice batch of them throughout the series, so I'm excited to see who pop's up.

I can't see them doing them in a chronological way probably all over the place but that would be cool and then ending of course with the new Jason.

Still think it should've been called Legacy of Jason lol

 

[PrimalScream1996]

I don't think they want people to be confuse and tie into thinking there's a titans thing coming in the future. People will easily think that's the direction they're going.

I was partial to "Camp Blood: The Legend of Jason Voorhees"


There better be at LEAST a cameo by Uber Jason lol

It'd be nice to see a respective set for each movie and entering at least a scene on the Grendel would be so killer lol, heck even the scene where Jason is being projected on the ground being rebuilt by the ships' system and he pops around the corner.

I know that I’m focusing too much on the marketing here but I don’t like that they’re saying this house is Insidious x10, especially because it hasn’t even opened yet. It sets up an unfair expectation for both guests and performers, and kinda discredits the work done on their literal HOTY.

It does feel weird but I think in a way since the characters of Insidious were iconic, Jason is even as icon even more as to say Iconic than Insidious so I think they're meaning that the scares in this house are going to be just as in your face as they were in insidious which is to honestly be expected with a slasher like Jason.

Insidious was also insanely overhyped

It was a good house yes, I think it did very well in terms of numbers, it wouldn't say it was overhyped but it was definitely placed up there as one of the biggest hyped ips at our event but that's mostly due to it not featured at our event as a standalone since 2015 meanwhile Hollywood had a house every other year.

Jason is up there since he hadn't had a standalone house since 2007 that says something, I think his house especially in the location its in will do great as the area did for Major Sweets.

I generally look forward to the original concept houses WAY more and wasn't expecting much walking in to Insidious last year, but it blew me away...could have been the lower IP expectations, but this was a truly great house IMO. For me as far as IP houses go it's up there with Poltergeist and The Thing.

All that to say I find the marketing speak interesting for Jason this year. It really does feel like they're going all out, we'll see how it translates. Here's hoping it's awesome!
