    HHN Hollywood 2016 Speculation

    in Halloween Horror Nights Hollywood 2016

    Posted

    I don't know if anyone else saw it, but Inside the Magic uploaded the Horror Nights panel with John Murdy and Chris Williams for Midsummers Night Scream. They talked about the three slasher houses and how they're really trying to differentiate from earlier incarnations of the mazes. They also described the facades for each house. 

     

    "Freddy v Jason" is going to start with the boiler room where Freddy died, transition to Camp Crystal Lake, and have a different winner after every cast change. Also John said that an elaborate prologue would play out in the queue explaining why Freddy and Jason are battling.

     

    "The Exorcist" has the largest number of blackout performers in any maze in Horror Nights history. 

     

    "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: Blood Brothers" will use the gas station/bbq as the facade and include a "shocking" finale based on the flash bulb police camera intro from the opening of the original film.

     

    "Halloween: Hell Comes to Haddonfield" includes a number of theatrical tableaux including a scene where Loomis yells at Sheriff Brackett about shooting Michael six times. You'll also hear Loomis shooting Michael and hearing Michael fall when you're standing outside of the Doyle house.

     

    Here's the full video if anyone else wants to see more about trivia and such, really fun to watch because they detail the history of the event's relationship to each franchise.

    2016 Audition Schedule & Tips

    They do like funny deaths, also gruesome ones, basically any death where they can understand what is going on and it is wel acted. I saw quite a few during my audition this year where I had no idea what happened to them, and I saw 1 or 2 that were really good, one was funny and one was gruesome. A guy danced himself to death in a club.

     

    Last year, for my first year audition, I mimed shooting an arrow, then did a double take as I watched the arrow magically fly around the room in a circle until it came back and shot me in the chest. I gave the judges a look of 'what the hell?!?' Then tried to pull the arrow out which was the gruesome part, once it popped out I collapsed from blood lose.

     

    another suggestion is take your time. I saw so many people this year rush through their death and it was over in like 2 seconds. If your death is good, you can take (reasonably) as much time as you need. This is your one shot so have fun with it and show them something you're proud of!

    Totally seconding that you should take your time, most people in my group who made it had longer, more drawn out deaths while all those who didn't just pretended to be stabbed and fell over in a manner of seconds

    Well, talking to some of the veterans there, I heard that the judging panel enjoy funny deaths, like I know one guy pretended to give a seminar on gun safety and accidentally shot himself. I pretended to do a power lift that went horribly wrong. Maybe you could pretend to get angry at a vending machine that steals your money without giving you your treat so you shake it and it falls on you?

    Hello. I'm new to the board and I am super nervous about auditioning tomorrow (July 28th). What are some of the things they have had y'all act out this year? This way I can feel more prepared and confident in going into the audition. I know you have been mentioning the one minute long thing where you pretend you are scaring someone, but what else is being asked of us this year? Thank you in advance and hopefully I can get a great leftover position since most spots have been casted by now I bet.

    After the group portion they have newcomers step up one by one to enact an ORIGINAL death scene, try to stand out from what other people are doing.

    I got an email today saying I got cast and says there will be more auditions. Is this going to be another elimination? Says I will get another email saying I have to fill out paperwork within July 25-July 29 and I haven't gotten another email. I will be so disappointed if I have to audition again and then get eliminated.

    I'm pretty sure that means you're in
