I don't think you'll hear it as much - because it makes sense with the story they are telling.

my question about this house as it is, if you replaced the triplets with Freddy Kruger, would it be any better? ( I know that a Freddy house would be with different sets and completely different victims, but it just made me wonder how this house does if it had a famous slasher like Michael or something)

C'mon...

I believe he's asking, while a Nightmare on Elm Street House WOULD be entirely different, if you simply replaced the killers in THIS house with a Horror Icon, would it be better recieved

I'd argue no. The only difference would be wait times. More people would go for it but satisfaction would be the same.

FWIW I preferred these same sets when it was Michael Meyers. Had I not experienced the previous three (four?) Halloween houses, who can say.

If you’re building your own slashers, why stick ‘em in the same setting? Why not an urban setting? Or England or France or the American southwest?

yeah you guys understood my question thank you.
some of the reviews im seeing around are disappointed in the killers themselves, and I saw some people saying that it needed better characters, implying that the house could be better with known characters. which made me wonder.
kinda like if they had shoehorn some movie property like wren purge replaced Scream.

this says more about the audience than the creatives imo.

In fairness, and while it's not what Lucky exactly said, it could also just mean that audiences aren't necessarily taken with these particular characters. Perhaps a different approach or execution to the "original slashers" (without changing the setting) could be received better by some. Who really knows.

In any a case, it's too early in the run to write this one off, IMO. Give the cast a chance to define their characters and build their aggressiveness.

In our hypothetical Scooby Doo house, I'd have more response to the Mystery Machine than a white panel van.

I think the issue is that they're not having enough fun with the premise. If this was a script, the note would be "this is a birthday party, use that setting more."

Circular saws, knives, decapitations... we've seen that before. And I was hoping they'd be a lot more vocal, which would've given them more personality. There's not enough differentiating them, so they just feel like off-brand Jason.
