Triplets of Terror (HHN 33)

“the cakes are tiered and too pretty for this generic slasher lol. The whole town is too pretty for just a gore house”

For me, this is the only house announcement that has been underwhelming so far. Also does this announcement mean there’s NOT going to be a Boris Shuster house??

There never was.

Most of the originals this year definitely have a blend of horror and dark comedy to them in some forms of way which is a nice touch, I'm excited to see how this house will be pulled off, definitely interested in the Haunted Tales for this one if they made one for it.

In my perfect world, the family aspect of this could be played in a way reminiscent of Resident Evil Biohazard... dilapidated, bloody, grimy... I DO want this to have a suburban setting, but the idea of a town scattered and in hiding while the triplets go on their bloody rampage and destroy everything in their path could be really intense.

It is a Soundstage btw.

(No, I won't say which lol)

Oh wow so that was just pure speculation. Dang that’s a bummer lol

This would’ve been a good house to have 3 Icons or lesser known Icons to headline. Maybe it still will be?! lol

I believe the current rumored location for this is Soundstage 24 (Dragons and Yeti last year).

What is this in reference to/from? Am I just an idiot? lol

makes sense that it'll share with an ip in that soundstage.

It’s from a source.

Is Rob Zombie or The Strangers a difficult get? Curious why they would make this an original. Heck, go full fanservice and make it Jack, Eddie, and Chance. Move that merch.

Will certainly save on the costume budget.

If I may ask, what exactly does it mean?

not any more by what I know, but it’s free in the license rights

We have 6 originals this year + UCM. I get not being super enthusiastic about the concept but I'll give the team the benefit of the doubt that this is something interesting. Talk of this actually being the "pretty" house like DMW or Blood Moon is certainly something. If not, we have the other 5 originals + UCM to look forward to instead.

Maybe they just had the idea for a birthday party gone gorey and wanted to follow that. The Strangers would make for a terribly dull house imo, and getting another Rob Zombie house the same year we get another Ghostbusters house would definitely make things feel more samey for those of us who have been going this long.

Eh, it just doesn't seem like that kind of year. We've been hearing how the "Icon" is kind of nebulous this year for a while now. 31 technically didn't have an Icon house either, even with Pumpkin Lord as the "Icon". I'm totally cool with a new idea here rather than using another anniversary year-esque Icon mashup concept.

In a way, it's a throw back to the pre-IP era where they aped popular IPs and tropes.

Yeah this was more what I was thinking lol

As Brian said in the main spec thread when the weird trailer dropped, y'all wanted the old days back right?

It means

1) This is this year’s gore house.
2) They’re goring up a pretty town for this house.
3) It’s basically a generic slasher house.

There’s a lot of meaning in it.

Well that makes me even more excited lol

“Gorey birthday party” is a good premise with a lot of potential, so if they lean into that, great! It just seems they aren’t taking a particularly interesting angle on that concept.

I agree that Strangers and Zombie would not be appealing concepts, but I’m not sure sanding off the serial numbers make them that much more intriguing.

Still, one of the stronger line-ups of originals I can remember.
