Is someone going to be lurking over there and bring the info back here?
100%. I have an account over there so I'll just copy paste as soon as it pops up.
And in response to that tweet....

Alright. My interest is piqued. Though I need to wait until I get home from work to give it a closer inspection. It's the behind the scenes video or the straight up commercial?
Both.
Also, Legacy is apparently going to reveal the original house names as he knows them on IU tonight.

Huh. Didn't see that coming.
Not a bad commercial. Thought the incorporation of the IP's was nice. Could do without the music.

Ok so, looks like IP vs. Original for house of the year comes out with Originals having more (in case anyone was wondering). I know this has been said before, as much as I love the original houses it would seem weird for Universal to NOT have houses based on IPs. Other theme parks can get away with 100% originals, but for a theme park that is already completely based around IPs, it would only make sense to have their Halloween event include IPs.
It's to me why the "Universal needs to go back to what's made HHN popular back then" makes no sense. Why should they get rid of what's making the event popular now? We can talk bad marketing all we want, but all attendance numbers seem to suggest increases in attendance in the last few years.

Has anyone else received a marketing email from Universal titled "Add Darkness to Your Day" every. Single. Day? It's obviously a glitch, but it's so annoying!
Well it certainly is adding darkness to your day then.

Hmmm....
Angels / Demons
Also Angels / Demons
Blumhouse or Hive
Scarecrows
My guesses. At least they learned to take better photos.

And it still is.

I know we are still waiting on the original house announcements....but I just don't undertand some of Uni's choices here. WE have a festival, which is supposedly a quasi-over-arching theme, but no leader to said activity? Are we in for another surprise here, but why would you announce the Icon last if so? But if we are really just getting this zone of mascots instead an Icon, I'm not sure how much sense it makes. I thought Uni had seen the errors of their ways when we finally returned to having them 2 years ago. It has to be easier to drive advertising, marketing, in-park merchandising sales, etc. (I'm sure we could think of more). Hopefully we get hit with a surprise outta left field...unless someone else can shed light on any of this?
They'll use the "Festival" as the advertising. Basically an invitation to viewers of whatever commercial to come and "join the celebration".
That's the angle I'm getting at least.

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?

why wouldnt they have done it last year? They obviously have the rights to it....
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.
6 minutes ago, ThNdIzNiR said:What they put in that scare zone last year really wasn't that different from The Purge. If they named it The Purge would anyone have even noticed a difference?
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.

Purge is becoming the new walking dead. yes yes to a lesser degree.
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.

So many years?... um... Die-In scarezones in 2009 & 2015... And lets not forget 2001's Nightmare Alley...
Also... this description is a complete joke too. "Something they've never done before?" Um... WRONG!!!! 2005... "Terra Guard Run". That was the entrance SZ for that year & it featured monsters from EVERY part of Terra Cruentus.
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.

Ok, they make it seem like "Festival of the Deadliest" is the overall theme of the streets.
It's the Hollywood zone.
I think the "Claws will seep everywhere" was just hypeman stuff but who knows at this point?

Damn. Down to 4 scarezones? I thought 5 was bad the last couple of years. Take me back to 2009 when we had 7. Scarezones are my favorite part of the event. Kinda bummed.
Edit: Yes I know there were only 4 in 2014 as well. Still sucks. At least it's not 2012.
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.
HHN 27 Speculation
in Halloween Horror Nights 27

Yep. Interesting how he's the only IP character on the lower floor of the "party". He does look similar enough to the BOB guy where it could be a handwave either way.
