Triplets of Terror (HHN 33)

[HHN Maddux]

I also think this house would benefit from giving the triplets some kind of motivation. Why are they doing this? Are they evil incarnate? Did their parents revoke their ice cream privileges? Did they get hopped up on Mr. Sweets Murder-Tarts?

In the HHN 33 podcast, they mentioned that the Triplets are very much evil personified, and had no reason to kill their family, which is meant to add onto the horror of it (and IMO, is quite effective).

With the tremendously large caveat that I've only watched a walkthrough, they've gotta do a better job selling that inside the house.

I think the beginning of the house does that quite well, the mom crying "Why are you doing this?" and Melody just giggling and immediately slitting her throat.

This just comes off as cliche. It's such a tired trope too. Being "evil" isn't a good selling point. And the "why are you doing this?" is so overused that it doesn’t hold much weight.

Also, 2008's Skoolhouse SZ called, it wants their "Bunny Girl" mask back.

They just like killing people. They think it's neat

Got 2 runs of this last night. It was fun but definitely felt short. Gore definitely didn't live up to the hype for me at least lol

 

[SeventyOne]

Second run last night was better, thanks to the cast who are finding a groove, yet ironically highlighted a lot of the stated issues even more.

I liked this house way more than I thought I would. I loved the backstory throughout the house so you knew what was going on.

Spoiler

I LOVED that there was an opening scene and then the podcast hallway that gave the backstory. Very creative way to design the house in my opinion.

I 100% agree. This was my major issue with the house.

Spoiler

They just randomly picked a hardware store and butcher shop to hit? What was the connection? Why those places?

The podcast angle is incredibly ambitious, and I give the team props for trying it out.

A part of me wants to believe the butcher shop is Meetz Meats because the strobe room reminds me of the meat room from Cleaver. However, it could just be a case of the team reusing scenes.

That wasn't a hardware store, that was the Man-Cave for the dude getting attacked with the saw. And I wouldn't put much though into the connection of the places they were hitting up. The key thing is the Triplets are going through the neighborhood gathering victims to set the birthday party table at the end. Complete with three cakes, a body for pin the tail on the donkey, and a head stuffed with candy to act as the pinata.

Yeah. The who or where isn’t important - it’s the when, what, and why.

 

[Kichkinet85]

Yeah I think the wanted the triplets to be “evil incornated” like Micheal Myers. They just kill bc they want to.
