Someone on here, I think it was armyofrobots, was looking for a HHN 21 House shirt in Medium. If he should see this and still needs one, there's a brand new one on eBay right now: Link
We were talking about it the first time it went up. The price is a little high for it sadly
-
Yes I saw this but its a bit out of my price range :/ the majority of them are put up quite cheap but its just my luck that the one I want and the right size is too expensive
Yeah it was weird, I got a bunch of older staff shirts for like $8 and that one was bumped up to $40
-
If anyone has a HHN20 lanyard or a HHN21 staff shirt in a medium or large I would really appreciate you messaging me
There is a Staff Tshirt for 21 on ebay it's a medium still up for about 5 days

There are "media kits" and "media gifts". The kits were a folder that contained official press releases. These were usually few sheets Universal letterhead stapled together that explained what the event was about. These were sent to press at the time - TV, radio, news. They also included glossy 8x11 photos. The folder was always themed with that year's logo. They've been doing the media kits pretty much forever. The earliest one I have is from 1994.
Media gifts were first started in 1997, as far as I know. These were handmade props sent to the press, with the intent of enticing when to come to a media day. It was purely personalized publicity. In the beginning, these accompanied the media kits.
Nowadays, when bloggers can reach more eyes than radio and newspapers, the "media kit" is mostly a relic of the past. In fact, the 2004 media kit was the first year they included a CD. Today, the media gifts have become very stylized and often contain the press releases in an electronic form (i.e. the thumb drive buried in the brain of the 2012 media gift.
Media gifts:
1997 (got it) - prosthetic eyeball on a pedestal. This is an honest to god prosthetic. The pedestal has a tag attached advertising the event.
1998 (need it) - 3-D wall hanging of the "primal scream" image used as that year's logo. This wall hanging is very solid and heavy. The image was very generic, though, and a cheap lightweight version is readily available at most Halloween shops.
1999 (need it) - I honestly have no idea what the media gift was this year. I have heard rumors it was based on mummy parts.
2000 (got it) - Jack in the box. It was a real, working musical box with J-A-C-K letters on the side. When you cranked it, the clown that pops out was shredded - clearly mangled by Jack.
2001 (got it) - Chainsaw. This toy chainsaw was bloodied up and delivered in a "crate" with straw in it. The chainsaw has a beaded metal chain that spins. There is also a chainsaw sound effect.
2002 (got it) - A real pocketwatch with chain. The thing is sizable (about 2" around). Pocketwatches are a clamshell. When opened, it reveals the watch and a picture of the Caretaker.
2003 (need it) - Film canister. Large (about 12" in diameter) film canister that contains pictures and trophies the Director collected.
2004 (got it) - Straitjacket. A fabric straitjacket. Although it is made from cheap materials and would never actually be able to restrain anyone, it is my favorite media gift, because each one was custom made. Each has the name of the "inmate" on it, and was personalized to the media agent it was being mailed to. If you were Jeff Jones and reported for the Orlando Sentinal, your straightjacket would have "J. J." stenciled on it, along with an inmate number.
2005 (got it) - Bloody eyeglasses and plate of cookies. The eyeglasses belonged to the Storyteller, icon from that year. Unfortunately, I don't have the cookies.
2006 (got it) - Snowglobe. For Sweet 16, the gift was a life-size plaster-cast hand holding a real snowglobe. The hand was missing a finger - which is floating in the globe. Red sparkly "snow" completed the picture. These were the ONLY media gift that was actually sold at the event for only a couple of nights.
2007 (need it) - Savaged teddy bear. This was a teddy that was shredded by Freddy and his friends.
2008 (got it) - Music Box. The music box owned by Mary Agana, who became the icon Bloody Mary. This was the first year Universal used smell as part of the gift. When you open the box, a heavy smell of rose perfume wafts out. Inside is a dried black rose, along with pictures.
2009 (need it) - Popcorn box. A popcorn box containing bloodied popcorn, with a real dictation recorder buried inside.
2010 (got it) - Branding Iron. A beautiful wooden box containing Fear's branding iron. This thing was hefty.
2011 (got it) - Chopped hand holding playing card. Reminiscent of the snowglobe hand, this one is latex and feels real. The severed hand is grasping a few strands of Lady Luck's red hair, along with two cards A-8 (the Dead Man's Hand).
2012 (got it) - Skull. Another heavily-scented gift, the skull has "skin" on it as well as hair. What is not evident is that you need do an autopsy on the skull in order to get to a thumb drive embedded int he folds of the "brain" inside. One needs to cut the skin and peel it back to expose the skull, which can then be opened to reveal the brain.
I have managed to get my hands on the pocket watch and had no idea that was a media gift.
I am also surprised that you haven't gotten the popcorn box, I have seen quite a few of them pop up here and there.
A very impressive collection though

Thats really sad, I HATE to see projects unfinished. I suppose if your boss says no, or you run into some technical glitches, it would make this idea more trouble then it's worth...Still a great idea though.
They still plan on doing it one of these days but they have yet to see a way it would work without the line getting too long and a way to make sure people with disabilities could still do it. They mention it in the tours just about every years but at the moment there is too many factors against it.

Thanks! I was actually looking for pictures from the earlier years.

For those who have not seen who is in our legion yet
-
The media gift i'm searching for is from 2001 Eddie's chainsaw. Can anyone help me out?
Sadly I have not seen or heard of one of those in a few years
-
two of the legions are complete!
-
That's where I've gotten the majority of mine. They do pop up from time to time. Last year, someone sold a bunch of them, from like HHX through XX or XXI, save for Bloody Mary's box and the Storyteller's glasses.
There is currently one up for the snow globe for $180

Well they may be a shill bidder as far as I can see. If not then they are good because they have a ton of stuff but the events surrounding my auction were just weird. Just search for halloween horror nights and you will find them. Just watch for your auctions to get bid up to where you lose at the last minute and then get a second chance offer. I don't know for sure if he is a shill bidder it is just very suspect that I got second chance offers on 2 items that were bid up in the last minute to above my limit. It's like they were trying to see just how much I would pay and then get that much out of me. I wouldn't have taken the offer if my wife didn't check out the ebay for things she was bidding on and see the offer. She thought I would be happy which in a way I am considering I am getting the item's I wanted but I am just very suspicious over the circumstances surrounding it.
I know him, he has a lot of the same items and will take notice if you were bidding for them. I would also not be surprised if I beat you for those posters by looking at the time frame of this post because I got a lot of posters from him at one point

Hey all! Not sure how many of you have been following the game since the end of HHN 22, but it has continued. The legions have been getting puzzle pieces that are beginning to show lineages. So far, they've tied in a few of the Universal Monsters: https://www.facebook...33324606793724/
I've been fallowing the game but it keeps sending me the same thing

I found these from http://www.horrornightscollector.com/
I'll put up my media photos from 95 up soon

I am a Baccanoid player and I have completed the Machorian game several times since the site changed. I did not get this e-mail. Any ideas?
While I have thoroughly enjoyed the Horror Unearthed experience this year, little hiccups like this are frustrating. I know that A&D has worked very hard to make this game for the fans and I am excited that it will continue next year. I hope they worked out any kinks with the card readers, but now they have to work on consistency with their e-mail communications and the dates they choose to play the in-park games since everyone cannot make it on Thursdays and Sundays. Just my thoughts.
Finally, thanks to the entire A&D team for this amazing addition to HHN22!
Well I found mine in my junk mail at first so it may be there
The down side is that they keep sending me this picture when this one is the second picture of the set

David is an awesome tour guide

I forgot about that one! Thanks! So we know they went back at least as far as Jack. Does anyone know if they sent anything out during the first nine years? Jack does make a logical starting point.
The oldest ones I have seen are from 98 and before that they sent pictures to the media which the oldest one I have goes back to 95
