    Unrelated to the forename, but do you guys see the X-Files as a possibility? The series has a large following and the relaunch airs tomorrow. 

    I was thinking that's possible too. It's apparently just a 6 episode mini series but it seems likely that it'll get renewed and go on as a series kinda like Agent Carter. Who knows, Fox and USH were pretty successful with AVP maybe Fox will want to continue their relationship?

    If it's Cabin in the Woods, I'm going to freak the fuck out, I've been waiting for that since 2013

     

    Don't know why I waited so long to chime in, but I don't think its Freddy vs Jason because he said he's really excited for this, and if he was really excited, it would have come last year. I'll go with The Conjuring just because everyone else is saying it, don't see the connection but I've got nothing

    I think the connection everyone is going with is that the Warren's reports are what inspired The Amityville Horror. The house from the remake is in Wisconsin. I'm starting not to think it's The Conjuring because what would he have to film for that? 

    Halloween Horror Nights Hollywood 2016 "WISHLIST"

    Im not gunna put a list together since it would mostly be repeat of what's been said. Plus, most of you know what I've wanted since 2011 lol. One thing I kind of want though is Scream Queens (dodges tomatoes). Seems like GP enjoyed TITE so a comedy/ horror property isn't out of the question. Plus with hollywood's obsession with celebrity and their shared demographic, I wouldn't put it past them.

     

     

    Halloween Horror Nights Hollywood 2015 Event Discussion

    ^I fully realize Insidious is a PG-13 franchise.  The only reason it works is because there are lots of frightening creatures and cool environments to work with. With Krampus, the whole movie is, judging by the trailer, going to be entirely in the house. With that, you may have Krampus, but no kills to show that would be HHN-worthy. I think Murdy should just stick with an original Dark Christmas house. I would've preferred that over Krampus anyway.

    This isn't a "Murdy is wrong and this is how'd I do it" post, but I tried making a JW house write up in what I thought would be the best way without having a life size I-Rex puppet in every scene. 

    Facade-Guests would enter the maze through the broken Indominus Rex paddock. They'd circle around the JW truck from the film with a Chris Pratt dummy hiding under it.     Near the entrance, The security guard, now missing a head from the recent attack, would scare guests.

    1.-Pushing past leftover hanging meat from past feedings, guests would encounter the I-Rex's first victim, disemboweled and decapitated, who would stumble towards the guests walking through. The distant roar of the I-Rex can be heard.
     
    2.-Guests would then enter the raptor enclosure. A frightened JW employee pleas for help as raptor heads peaks through bushes and spooks guests. A large raptor puppet (Blue) scares guests into the next scene.
     
    3.-They'd then enter the rainforest of the outskirts of the theme park where the I-Rex has ripped out its tracker. Asset Containment Unit members equip with fake guns scare guests. Looking up, guests can see the mouth of the I-Rex eating an ACU member. Towards the end of the scene a Indominous Puppet pops out, spraying must onto guests. (the puppet would be similar to the truck scares. It would be just the mouth the rest is hidden with foliage) 
     
    4. They'd then enter the Aviary through the destruction path of the I-Rex. The room is filled with fog after the recent helicopter crash. Flying reptiles props are positioned all over this scene with strobe lights and wind gusts to simulate movement. Walking through the side of the destroyed helicopter, a burnt pilot attacks guests. Leading into the next scene, a Pterosaur puppet scares guests through a boo hole (similar to the AVP porch scene) 
     
    5. -Entering the burning forest, guests would be disoriented by orange flickering lights and fog to simulate fire. Raptor puppets would attack guests between the trees while armed troops occasionally pop out. Leading to the next scene, a JW truck (with Claire driving at the wheel) startles guests. 
     
    6.-They then walk down the main entrance of JW with flying reptiles and victims. Pterosaur attack guests through boo holes while victims startle guests throughout. A Pterosaur attacks a victim on the floor (similar to the first scene in AVP) 
    7.-In a short restaurant scene, a singed Pterosaur puppet attacks guests and scares them leading into the next scene. 
     
    8.-Walking into the Discovery Center Lab,Guests would see Hoskins slumped near a table with his arm torn off asking guests for help. Nearby, a Raptor puppet pops out and startles guests. 
     
    9.-They then make there way through a destroyed merchandise kiosk. Owen and the boys cower in a corner as an I-Rex puppet (the full head this time) scares guests into the final scene 
     
    10.Making their way back through the main entrance, Clair (holding a flair) runs towards guest. Making their way through a hallway, both an I-Rex and T-Rex puppet scare guests putting them right in the middle of the battle. Now distracted, a raptor puppet startles guests near the edit of the maze.

    HHNH 2015 Suggestions, Issues, and Improvments

    That Jabba show sure seemed to be packing people in in the queue. Still doesn't get the wait times down AT ALL though.

    If this Fast and Furious weekend doesn't help with capacity at all, I strongly urge Uni to start thinking about adding something else on the upper lot to get people to gravitate away from the lower lot. Heck, maybe even open Shrek 4D -- show some horror clips if you want, but do something with that nice big theatre that can fill people in. Animal Actors, there's critters sleeping okay, decent excuse, but there's no reason you can't use Shrek. Before there was a maze there, had to use the queue, so that was problematic, but again, no excuse anymore.

    In fact, what would really be cool is if there was a Crimson Peak sneak... peak... ;) in there like Disneyland does for their movies, with 4D type environments. Not only would this get people interested in the movie, but also make them more familiar and want to go to the backlot to see the maze. DOUBLE WHAMMY with driving people away from the lower lot.

    Now realistically, I know it'd cost some dough and take some time to convert a Crimson Peak sneak peek 4D experience into the Shrek auditorium. However, a regular sneak peek of the movie would cost almost nothing. How many people does it take to run that attraction?

    It'd also be cool to see a horror special effects show, like the Special Effects Stages back when it was on the lower lot. A quick little 10 min presentation with some fun and informative gory moments. This could fit in the theatre across from Despicable Me. Right now, Dark Christmas is an extremely low traffic area with House of Horrors closed.

    I know Uni is trying to save money, hence the cutback on so many options, but this cheap strategy is really digging into the event, making the event a less fun experience for guests because of the insane wait times. VIP was also a good way to get a lot of guests away on the tours, thus lowering capacity in the lines.

    Spend a little more money, add more options throughout the park, improve guest morale, and send everyone home happy.

    Universal, hire me...

    Now that you've bright that up I'm surprised they haven't don't that yet.
