Glad to see they are doing an all new show. I'll probably sit down and watch it in full the same I do for all shows...only once.

I've already made my opinions clear. Never cared for B&T. But I'll try to see this at least once for the hell of it. Me and my dad had a few laughs at it last year.

Amusing little detail: The Shining logo on the site now has "STANLEY KUBRICK'S" above it in red.

When did HHN ever care about aligning to an IP's canon?

Because it was a little too in line with the Pulse shooting last year. Why would have Hollywood had it last year on not us, considering we shared in 2014? 2013 doesn't count due to TWD spam. The Purge would have had a better chance of being acknowledged and complained about on media as a notable current IP. Survive Or Die is an unknown original that media wouldn't "waste time" going after.

I'm guessing they literally just ported this over because it was supposed to happen last year to align with EY.

Anyone who knows the IP's knows the characters in them. If they don't, then it's a little preview. It's not like people aren't going to go in The Shining maze because they saw Jack standing on the street with as much as a stage probably. Obviously, I disagree with your "event outlook" as well. But we've been through that topic so many times already.

Blake Braswell, writer of the SZ article has stated on Twitter that Festival is the overall thematic.

I meant more in taking the outsider IP's they had and putting them in a zone together. The Die-Ins (at least 2015) was mostly their already owned stuff (minus Freddy and Jason in 2015) I think that's what they mean by the description as well.

It's the Hollywood zone. I think the "Claws will seep everywhere" was just hypeman stuff but who knows at this point?

Nope. Still 5, Festival Of The Deadliest was awkwardly transitioned into within the paragraph.

The concept art on the video looked neat. Im guessing there will be a Soul Collection mini-show of sorts in the middle of the zone. Legacy has said this has a rotating cast like All Nite Die In. So that also peaks my interest. Name is bad though. "Deadliest"? That was the best idea?

The natural sequel to Vamp 55. Hopefully, and it sounds like they are, they do play up the comedy and gags for this one. Just not too cheesy, hopefully no gray bighead aliens.

I'm shocked it's taken so many years into using IP's to have a zone like this. I'm guessing this was the perfect storm of IP holders agreeing? To guess: AHS: Piggy Man or The Angel Of Death Shining: Jack Ash V Evil Dead: Ash himself Saw: Pigmask Jigsaw Blumhosue: Bride In Black from Insidious.

Liking the Scarezone layout in all. And heigh ho, actual logos at least off the bat.

They better have the light up car from Election Year. That aside, meh. This will be the big Scarezone for the more casuals. Hopefully they don't do the exact same "shows" in the zone.

This should be fun. Hopefully the booholes work better this year than they did for Banshees.

Halloween themed doorways have appeared in Central Park, All but confirming the TRT theme. I do debate sorta if it is the IP or an original. Hollywood's scareactors got their mazes revealed to them apparently. And with construction going close and closer I would think we are close to some Annoucement.

I don't care about house themes. I care about house quality. I don't dock any house on account of "IP LOL".

No one even noticed that tweet until we did. It still doesn't have that much mileage. Barely any retweets and I don't see people freaking out about it like they did when someone retweeted the Annoucement Week from 2013 and people learned they can't read dates. Yes, Universal should have to go through every first or third party media account to make sure no one says dumb stuff about an event that account doesn't have involvement in besides maybe some advertisement. Why? I know this is the "Shit on Marketing" year but if people think that HHN lost 5 houses, even though the official Twitter released pictures of 2 unconfirmed houses (stated as unconfirmed originals) and every piece of media says 9 houses (A 5/4 split flat out stated on Twitter when Mike or whoever took it that one night) and they're gonna believe some third party account over all the contradictions, I have NO sympathy for them. People don't need to be spoonfed.

Blumhouse. So probably looking at the originals as the kip-up announcement.

On a happier note, pumpkins have appeared in the Central Park trees.

Its likely because they're canning FFL (Good decision) for HP expansion. Along with the other stuff. I don't know, I'm saying this from the view of someone who never cared for the show.

Wow. There we go. I don't personally care, Bill and Ted never interested me. But I know to some this will be devastating.

Officially confirmed traps: Razor Wire Maze - Saw I Reverse Bear Trap - Saw I version (probably) Automated Scalping Machine - Saw IV Pound Of Flesh - Saw VI Unknown Trap - JIGSAW
