Jason Universe (HHN 34)

That's not the discussion, though. Yes, it could work in an SS, but it's also, by and large, working in its current location, too.

Bingo, the topic at hand is the OP stated "Jason needs a sound stage", which implies the house is not working in its current location...but the very good number of positive reviews say otherwise.

With a good chunk of folks saying this house utilizes the space of the supercharged venue the best so far, it's pretty clear Jason is doing just fine in this venue. And if a house works just fine in a smaller location like this, there's no true need for it to be in a bigger venue.

“Camp in the woods” as a concept does not read as claustrophobic. I think a lot of folks imagining a Jason house tend to conjure up visions of something like Yeti. None of which is to say that an approach emphasizing tight spaces and large Jason’s isn’t valid, but the alternative certainly isn’t absurd.

or be like the evil dead remake house back in the day. that was the perfect house to have Jason. the ending was literally Jason perfect.

The house does not need a soundstage to work at all. Sure, it would have been great to have a large facade in the woods (similar to Cabin in the Woods or Dead Water bayou)... but that's the only benefit it would get. What makes Jason (and other slasher-based houses) great is your proximity to the character, not the setting necessarily.

F&F has not been my favorite venue, but this house uses it masterfully.

well, Jason did have small tunnels in the 2009 remake lol. .so you could say that the 2009 remake is represented by the small spaces lol

I think the area was expertly utilized to a point where it elevates the house and kudos to actors. The Jasons are fast, the Pamela scene is well done and some of the victim scares give a slight variety and in some case are more frightening than the Jasons. That being said,

I did not care for J4S0NUN1V3RA3

It might very well be ranked 10 for me. My first thought was that it might be the haunt genre itself - big aggressive masked character jumpscares - but that's exactly what WWE is and what Halloween executed successfully on repeat.

I'm really not entirely certain but it just didn't quite *click* for me
