    Looking for, at least two, sites to film in. One is for the show, the other is for a short film. I have three short films planned so, hopefully, I will get them all filmed by October (fingers crossed). But finding it a challenge to get places to shoot. One is a Concrete stairwell with several floors. Preferably abandoned or lacking in use. The darker the better. The other is a public bathroom. I'm thinking maybe I can locate the owners of the Artegon and see if I can film in there. It's closed so there wouldn't be any distraction.

    There's absolutely no need to go the "mindf***" or Exorcist route with the Shining. There's plenty of material if your are willing to forget the hatchet job Kubrik did to a wonderful novel.

    but that's a rare opinion.

    Rare indeed. I saw the meandering trainwreck that was Stephen King's remake of the Shining. Don't get me wrong, The shining Novel was amazing but, as is, it just didn't translate well to a movie. (Like most of his stories). IMHO Kubrick and Jack made that IP.

    Today I learned inspecting a web page in chrome and CTRL+F for "jack" and other various terms, or just skimming the page, makes someone an "experienced code reader."

     

     
     

     

    I LOL'd when I saw that as well. Granted there is some merit to the method as they have played their hand a few times this way. I remember all the house code names were embedded in the game pages for Lady luck.  

     

    Texas could also be House of 1000 corpses, From Dusk Till Daw, Planet Terror/Death Proof, or The Town the Dreaded Sundown... But I mean of course it TCM. Meh. Throw for a loop Universal with Bubba Ho-Tep .

     

    Honestly, other than the possibility of The Shining (and "creepy hotel" has been done to death anyway), nothing they potentially have in the works is peaking my interest really. So it won't be hard to skip this year at all. Krampus pulled me in last year.

    The next episode is forthcoming, should be this Friday. It his a very labor intensive episode. If I ever see a green screen again... It will probably be next episode.

    Also, I found out this week that Dreaded Dominions was given an IMDB page so, I've been working to get it up to speed.

    You all are speaking as though it's a given that Stephen King finally caved and will allow his stuff to be made into houses.  How reliable is this information?  He was so adamant about it for so long that I don't want to get my hopes up only to be crushed again.   SK is my fave author, and I have literally grown up reading his stuff.  He's very much a huge part of my life, so seeing his work made into a piece of HHN would a be a dream for me. 

     

    Well there is the possible loophole that Kurbrick's version of the shining would not under King's control. that and who knows the new "It"'s rights. 

     

    He hates Kurbick's version and always says nobody does his work right. But, when he faithfully translates his work to screen it always ends up with great build up and then just leaves you scratching your head for the last half. Plus movies like Maximum Overdrive (which he had complete control over) was just a failure. 

     

    I always said his work doesn't translate properly to movies. He's probably afraid they don't translate to haunted houses either... To some degree I understand that. His work is about random rabbit holes and vast story lines the don't always go anywhere but the world build. there is no way you can pack that in to a house of Boo. Still EVERYONE knows his work. At this point you still can convey the idea of books/movies without having to explain everything. 

     

    Crimson Peak is a good example of that. Everyone said the house was beautiful but nobody got it because the story is complex and hard to glean from the house. however, if it had been a big hit and came out after the movie it may have been a different story.

    Ok, so what would Universal be pushing this year in the way of horror?  Are we looking at a Mummy house then?  I refuse to believe TWD is coming back.  Possibly wishful thinking on my part.. but for chrissakes.. die already.

     

    I know for sure AHS will be back - and that's awesome.  Aside from those things - what am I missing that is "obvious"?

     


    Well you have Insidious 4, Get out, and The mummy directly from Universal. 

     

    Get Out is wildly popular and would be an easy house. Insidious we have already had and was popular so would be a safe bet. 

     

    the mummy... I honestly don't think it would translate well. then again, we had the original... twice? I guess it depends on how the movie will be handled. 

     

    In the indirect Universal department, Krampus was very successful. So Trick R' Treat is a possibility. Not sure how BIG of one.

    Other Legendary titles. Kong: Skull Island and The Great Wall solid possibilities. 

     

    I haven't been following either side but I'm sure Hollywood has code names and a good idea. But, with IT coming out September 8... would be safe, dual coast, synergy and New Line Cinema has worked with them before. Other than that of course the shining would be amazing. 

     

    Classic Throwback... IDK that's tough they've done all their dream projects I'm aware of. Curve ball: Funhouse or My Bloody Valentine. I've come to the conclusion they will never directly do HP Lovecraft. Just things inspired by it. But At the Mountains of Madness, dunwich horror,The Shunned House, and, of course, shadow over Innsmouth.

     

    However, you still have Carrie, Cujo, and Christine that could be done as well. 

     

    Originals: Nightingales vs body collectors, Something inspired by Lovecraft. Something 3D. Maybe the boogeyman/dark ritual house that was scrapped a few years back. It's also been a while since we have had a "true meaning of Halloween" house. So maybe and old world style "the Hallow"-esque type house.

    I'm kind of bummed that this forum seems to have slowed way down.  It used to be the place to get my fix while waiting for the event to return. 

     

    Well... no info to go on. Leaks were either stopped up or they lost interest. 

    On top of all that, it isn't hard to figure out a general idea every year for a lineup.

    The walking Dead

    Classic horror IP (last year was 3 classic IPS)

    Whatever IP is being shared

    Whatever IP Universal is pushing in line with whatever movie they have out

     

    that's at the very least half of your line up. 

     

    Now throw in 2 originals. Impossible to really know (probably another 3D house and/or one sequel) 

    that's 6 of 8 at least 

     

    The rest is kind of a grab bag ,  maybe original, maybe classic IP, Maybe sharing more than one, maybe another movie universal is pushing. Probably just a mix of the previous. 

     

    Personally, the formula kills the speculation. It's easy enough to fill in the blanks so there isn't any real need for speculation. I think many can accurately guess 80% before the previous event has ended.

     

    It's just the nature of things. Original are much harder to deduce. So when it was primarily originals with sequels not being the norm, it there was a lot more to speculate. Now all someone has to say to leak it is "King" or Insidious" and you don't need to describe the house at all.

     

    It all will eventually leak anyway. I'd say mayish it will probably be known by those who seek it.

    Ah, I remember when mine were three.

    So I expect we will be seeing some reviews of Disney's Halloween party coming from you in the coming years, along with some lively speculation threads theorizing locations of next year's Trick or Treat stations.

     

    NO I did MNSS last year... I will not be doing it again. Waaay overpriced. 

    Bummed I didn't make it out to the lights on tour of Shallow Grave though. She was hyped about it (she's a weird 3 year year old) but my brakes and rotors went. 

     

    Honestly not sure what this year holds for me. I guess it's a big surprise. Definitely not PLANNING on HHN or even HOS. But who knows where the buffalo chips will fall.

    HA! I hear you! Mine is three so still way too young.

     

    To be clear, I've got no hate for HHN at all. My decision to not go largely boils down price and time. I'm very limited in what haunts I can go to in the haunt season now so I'm starting to just branch out and do the things I enjoy most. Smaller, more intimate haunts are my deal now. Plus I like to include my child so also more family friendly festivities as well. Just the seasons of life is all.

    I'm still curious to see what comes down the pipe this year for HHN and if someone threw me a free pass I wouldn't turn it down (unless I just couldn't swing it). But it is what it is. 

     

    I can relate to Critical to some degree... But life and things change. Best to adapt or move on. If I were to go I'd just ignore the things I don't like as there is no good in complaining about it.

    To the two folks who asked why I don't like AoV - I think it's beyond cheesy, does not add whatsoever to the horror atmosphere, and encapsulates the type of event it is compared to how it used to be. I'm wholly against adding a huge stage show like that - the budget should go to improving the sets/decor of the park outside of scare zones during HHN.

     

    It's a different generation. A different era. This event is not for tailored to us. Or, more specifically, to those who want creepy park atmosphere, super immersive experiences, and a full out theme. It's about party atmosphere, selling to the widest audience, and selling alcohol... Which all means money. 

     

    The event still has appealing aspects in various degrees but, it just isn't going to sit in a holding pattern. If you want it to change, change the people who pay because that is the only way things change. As that won't happen, you either change or move on.

    OK, this isn't going out anywhere else. But I got a... well a package. I thought it was a bomb but, turned out to be a fan-made prop with a severed hand. Makes me want to rethink about getting a P.O. BOX. I haven't even really published my address anywhere that I know of. 

     

    Looks like they worked really hard on it So I mean that's cool. A little freaky but cool. They clearly watch the show and know the nuances. So thanks for that. 

    they also incorporated it into my lore so, while hesitant, I will go ahead and use it in the next full episode. But, if you are listening, please if you are sending things to me, make sure they look less like a terrorist threat please. Thanks :)
