So far, so good.

There is at least one thing from every year of HHN (and of course the first year when it was known as Fright Nights). Can you spot them all?

From the pictures, videos and a brief personal experience, seems that most of the prisoners are the same ones from 2012. I know one that is in the Icons street this year.
How many are there?

^ The Batman freak in me sees this scareactor as Manbat. I love that shot
That's a female scareactor.

Can anyone make out the last word on the shirt with the Caretaker and Bloody Mary? I can see Horror All but not the last word.
-
They'll most likely have some of them there like the pumpkin heads and a couple trick or treaters, but I am betting they'll have characters such as Samhain, the tree monster, and The Headless Horseman. yea, That would have been 2013. That was the year they didn't have stationary scare zones, just the roaming hordes.
2012. 2013 was all Walking Dead streets.
-
The walker hoard was operated by a human. People in charge of how it was supposed to look decided it was better slow. As for American Horror Story, I remember reading something about all the seasons/stories being in the same "universe" like marvel and the upcoming remakes/reboots of the Universal classic monsters. Maybe they are waiting for the reveal about how they are all related to make the house and tie it all together with a best of all seasons house? Just a thought.

While I would love an Urban Legends house franchise, having a bunch of them in one house is a bit much, IMO. Dedicate the house to a certain legend each year (or every other year) and see what A&D can do with it.

Yesterday in American Werewolf in London - first set. To the first wolf on the left, you bumped me when you popped up. My first thought was "Ow, that hurt." My second thought was "I survived a werewolf attack! Awesome!" My third thought was how hard and heavy the wolf was and how incredibly difficult it must be to operate the puppets and not bump guests every time. Thank you for my favorite time through the house.
-
I can't imagine there would be enough room for a van to drive around given how crowded the park gets during HHN.
Just have a few people in front of it telling people to get out of the way like when the Blues Brothers drive around the park before and after their shows.
-
This is so true. Every time now that I go through a house at HHN I kinda know what to expect and where the scareactors will be hiding within the house. Familiarity is a good word if you've been going to HHN for a while. Maybe Universal will mix things up inside the houses at some point. Make it Unfamiliar.
The event has been at Studios for the last seven straight years. Having at least parts of the event at IOA would be unfamiliar for a lot of people who've only been able to go the last seven years. Heck I'd go as far as to say the veterans who've been going for longer than that would feel a little different because they've gotten used to the last seven years.
Even Nevermore had a bit of gore. The Pit and The Pendulum had Poe's severed head and a guy cut in half and don't forget about the girl with the axe in her forehead.

I've done it. Two years. I've add an e-prom one night in two years. It's a lot easier to scare without them than you think.
I agree. Having been Active Backup for three years straight, the roles that I filled without e-proms were easier for me to get the scare than the ones I had to rely on them for the scare. Most of the time, the sounds that the e-proms triggered got more laughs and stupid comments from the guests than effective scares. Some of my best scares were in Legendary Truth on the only night I filled in for that house in the hallway of doors. No e-prom, just open and close a door that I was hiding behind.
On a side note, I can't recall any roles that I filled that were out in the open (the Jock in AC, Goldilocks in Scary Tales III as examples [meaning I did not fill these roles]) that had e-proms. Any other Scareactors here know of any roles they can think of that did?
-
All this talk about whether TWD comes back or not. If it does, I'd rather see it as a street or horde (if they do hordes again this year, that is).
-
I missed that year but from what I've heard I thought IT was based on Dead Space? I may be mistaken here though
Dead Space has a bunch of aliens trying to kill you. IT had no aliens and the back story is almost identical to Event Horizon except the crew was still aboard the ship in IT.
-
I'm trying to remember and look through the info here on the main page but has there ever been house (or street) about/featuring aliens? The Thing houses don't count. I'm talking about "little green/grey men." I remember Interstellar Terror but that was about a human crew from Earth coming back from wherever and going insane and no aliens if I remember correctly. The idea of aliens, good (E.T., CEoT3K) or bad (Alien(s), Fourth Kind, Dark Skies), scares the crap out of me. Ghosts, demons, etc. are scary but are Earthbound ideas/lore (I do believe in ghosts) but with aliens, there seems to be so many different stories out there. Different species, types of UFO's, etc. and they still aren't explained and no one knows what any of their intentions are. I don't know which would be scarier to me, a house based on an alien ship (you're abducted and end up wandering the ship) or a house/neighborhood with aliens trying to stay hidden like in Signs.
Thoughts?
If this has been talked about, forgive me. I just woke up from a nightmare about aliens and it made me think of a house idea.
-
Besides, I personally have strong doubts that Universal would want half of the houses for the event to be squashed into one corner of the park. I'd say look for another building to possibly become an 8th location or replace the Parade Building. Or not, I'm not privy to such information, if we get the same setup as 22 for 23, adding the crowd-eating TF-3D, I'd be fine. Jaws houses were never very good anyway.
Just to be clear, I never said anything about 2 more houses with the existing SSs locations. I just stated that with TNA gone, could it be possible to use rather than the three/four others over the last few years.
-
Yep but remember Universal Productions could have it already booked for May - Nov.. Universal Entertaiment actually has to rent those soundstages to Universal Productions
Either way, I'm glad TNA will be long gone by this years event.

Just got home from the Penn & Teller show at Hard Rock Orlando and found out that TNA Wrestling will be leaving Soundstage 21 permanently in March. Possible house location? It is one of the bigger SSs they have.

Refresh my memory but has there ever been a leprechaun house? Either an I.P house based off the movie(s) or an original? The idea of leprechauns has always crept me out a bit so if it hasn't been done yet, a house based off of the legend of leprechauns could be interesting, at least in my opinion.
-
That is not a bad idea at all! I grew up with those, and so it would be really cool to see how they would translate to a house. I feel like it would be difficult to do them justice, but just pondering what could and what would be done with them is some very good food for thought.
I could see it as a variety house so to speak...now I am a person who loves the flow of an HHN house (like we all do), but if this was ever to become a house, I think for the benefit of the house itself, it would need to drop the flow and kind of be a smorgasbord of all the great moments from the stories. For example, some of my favorite moments (which don't have any relation) would be:
1.) The story where the lady attends the morning church service (not the usual one she attends), and it's full of all the dead people (but she doesn't know they're all dead). Eventually she starts seeing old friends that were recently deceased and things like that, and then then she starts freaking out and the corpses begin to realize this. Imagine a large room/church setting where the pews are filled with decaying corpses (scareactors). That would be pretty amazing. And don't bullshit us, I'd like the majority to be scareactors, not like Silent Hill where there was only one live nurse and the rest were mannequins.
2.) The cornfield and other moments from Harold (demented scarecrow).
Those are the two moments I can remember off the top of my head, but there are so many that would really fit well into a house. It would be similar to Scary Tales in a way.
Now, for those not familiar with Scary Stories To Tell In the Dark, here is what the art looks like:
And here's someones' own art based off one of the stories, "Sewer Rat" I believe.
They could do some cool stuff with these stories. I just wonder if they'd be able to pull it off...
Here's another idea: IF we wanted a house with a flow, they could create and overall atmosphere based off Scary Stories and then use scareactors as a variety of characters from the books, so it would be more of a tribute. Just a thought.
Oh, and I'm including this video because I can.
"Oh no, not potato face."
I would love it if they did this as long as they use the imagery from the earlier editions and not the toned down imagery they changed too last year or the year before.
