My genuine pleasure Kat. Glad he's back home where he belongs and doesn't wander off again. Our t shirts last year said it all....I BLAME CARL! Lol

Putting the word out Kat so we can get your little buddy back where he belongs!

October 26th 2pm plus 7 including fellow nightmares members Tweedle9200 and Source

The operative word in Merle zombie being ZOMBIE. Not really worth going back and forth over it I'm just posting the facts. If you choose to believe otherwise more power to ya lol. I'm just happy to hear its an improvement on last years house.

Actually there is a big difference between showing Andrea and an Andrea like generic blonde zombie lol. It's much much easier to get away with the zombie version because it will act just like every other zombie and won't talk. Hence why you have a Milton like zombie in the house. You can't copyright a zombie in glasses lol

Yeah the only problem with that is the main characters look so different in the comic that most people would be confused at what they were looking at. Which would kinda defeat the object of doing it in the first place. Can you imagine hearing the GP constantly asking "Why has Rick only got one hand? Who's the bald Asian guy?". The only way around it is AMC pay the actors which would mean AMC charging HHN for their use which means less budget to be used elsewhere. It's a shame but personally I think that house last year suffered due to lack of scareactors not lack of characters.

I believe AMC would have to pay actors if the characters appeared in the house at HHN. I'm sure I heard that somewhere, they called it an appearance fee?

Are you wearing a Nightmares shirt at event. That's a great way to spot other members and be spotted too. I usually say hi if I see a fellow member around the park

Ok caught up on this thread after being away awhile. All I can say about TWD house is that whether you liked or loathed the walkthrough videos the good news is that's going to be the poorest house of them all. All the other houses are of the highest quality so if you liked TWD then you're gonna be blown away by the others. I can also confirm what JW said about the tours. UNI sales gave me the exact same list of houses for the morning and afternoon tours when I booked so unless they change it that's what you will get

I'm actually amazed nobody thinks Resident Evil will be the first house revealed. Isn't it the biggest franchise at this years event? Multiple movies, multiple games, books etc etc etc. that would be my guess anyway to interest the widest spectrum of general public. I agree with JW when he says TWD is kinda a repeat and wouldn't be a good marketing tool. Also AWIL while being a classic is too old and non relevant to be an effective first house reveal. Just my thoughts.... Oh and a few thoughts on the Evil Dead. Seeing as it was a latish replacement for American Horror Story I can't see it being the focus of this years event or have a connection to the 23 logo. My guess, like many of you is that it's a nod to the legions returning.....in one form or other

I'll be there Oct 23rd, 24th, 27th, 30th, 31st and also Nov 2nd. I'll be wearing our shirt on at least some of the nights

Hmmmm I wonder what goes through someones mind when they are electrocuted? Other than electricity of course lol

Yes, yes and yes. Maybe it starts in a prison but moves on or back to other places....

Sorry to say you better scrap that triple travel plan idea then because barring any last second changes like last year that is the correct list lol. I'm Not happy about its IP heavy lineup, I'm kinda disappointed in its lack of originality and I'm starting to wonder if marketing is running out of ideas but that's the list. IP's worked for UNI last year so they've obviously decided to go back to the well so to speak. I really wish A&D had more control over the houses we got because we'd see a much better house list. Sorry guys

I think you're right on that one. The gate style and an electric chair doesn't fit with TWD prison at all if you think about it

I'm pretty sure you can forget any idea about Alice being involved in any way shape or form in 8th house lol. It's not going to be based on any IP property but something else entirely.

I never said last year was terrible, in fact I clearly stated I had fun. Saying that I'm not going to sugar coat it, as a collection of houses last year in my opinion was the weakest lineup I've experienced. If you disagree with me that's cool as you are entitled to your opinion too. I'm just saying that I've yet to hear anyone say last year was their favourite year ever and that to me is telling. I'm sure there has to be some out there that think that ive just not found one and i talk to a lot of our community. I can't quote what nights the attendance were better or if in fact it got busier as the event went along. I always do the last week and I know it was busier than previous years. I do know that a lot of people buy multi night tickets like I do and if you've shelled out that money to attend I'm gonna get my monies worth out of it whether the event is poor or not. I guess overall I feel that UNI got quantity over quality last year. QUANTITY of attendees over QUALITY of houses. They will view that as a successful year even though many of us won't.

Well although I've not been going to HHN as long as you (blame living in England) last years event was the worst one ive attended. I still had fun and i still enjoyed it but it paled in comparison to the previous years especially the house quality. It was also the most heavily attended which I suppose proves that the advertising and IP's worked for UNI. Doesn't mean we have to be happy about their new approach, which will be repeated this year without a doubt. I personally prefer an icon and clear theme to the whole event, but I cannot deny that marketing a known IP worked from a business sense for them last year. Although it brought people in that doesn't mean the GP thought the event better than other years though. Once you've bought your ticket you are obliged to use it (you've paid for it after all) but I'd be interested to hear what the GP thought of the event compared to previous years. I've yet to hear one person say that last year was their favourite year but I open up the floor for someone to disagree with that and tell me why.

Raccoon? Oh I think I saw one in the red field

Hmmm what could someone named Alice and STARS possibly have in common lol

JW hang your head in shame lol. Loving or hating the characters is one of the main strengths of the show. A lot of people tuned in each week to see Shane or Lori die lol. I think this is one of the reasons the house failed (no characters) although there were many other reasons too. Being understaffed was my main gripe but I seriously wouldn't be surprised if they did a house based on season 3 this year.

As one who ordered your "I blame Carl" shirt I think maybe you should do a sequel shirt if they do another Walking Dead house this year. It should say "I no longer blame Carl he kicks ass" lol

Ancient Rome Nightingales would be cool. The Romans did plenty of fighting lol.

Oh please no more Harlem Shake. I just don't get what's so entertaining about it lol
