Saws and Steamer.
Saws and Steam was the first zone to become a house, between 2010 and 2011. If you’re going to honor the concept of a street becoming a house at least honor the original.
I think this is a bit different though. It’s not just a zone becoming a house.
I see the Trick ‘r Treatment as a slightly cult IP property (untested in marketing’s eyes) getting a lower budget buy-in as a scarezone. Then proving popular with the general public, and becoming a full fledged house.

Thinking about something last night: I feel like Channel Zero's material could be worked in best starting off as a Scare Zone. That's been a solid way for A&D to test the waters with other "less famous" IPs before giving them a full-blown house.
That's now officially known as the "Trick 'r Treat-ment".

There won't be a second season for the show, which means 2019 is most relevant year to do it (and even that may be a hard sell).
I've actually heard that they're in talks with Flannagan to do a second season but, if they do one, it will be a completely different story.

Would a Chucky house be based on the old movies or the new one releasing this summer?
The old movies (or potentially the new TV show they're working on). The movie coming out this summer is a "Child's Play" (not a full Chucky movie), and the doll is said to be very different from Chucky since MGM only owns the rights to the movie title, not the Chucky likeness (Universal owns that).
Licensing contracts sure are fun.
Also, the horror movie about the living killer doll is coming out on the same day as Toy Story 4.-

I'd love a triple feature of It Follows, The Witch, and Hereditary...
I believe It Follows was actually distributed by a subsidiary of Warner, not A24.

In that case, can we get The Horrors of A24 instead of Blumhouse then? Kthxbye. LOL
I'd love that, but I think their films tend to be a little too divisive to play well to the general audience.
Blumhouse is way more fan friendly, and tends to bring in slightly younger fans.

Ah okay. I was unaware of any issues with rights holders. I had just assumed since it was Blumhouse and Universal that there wouldn't be any problem.
Those are two of the four production companies credited. Like I said, I'm not sure how much sway each one has, but there is one that may be a bit of a monkey-wrench.

Just saw the new Halloween movie on Friday. I know most of you cannot get enough Michael Myers, but I would be extremely surprised if there isn't a Blumhouse Halloween Maze next year. Thoughts?....
Great flick, but there may be some difficulty with one of the rights holders. It really depends on how much sway they have over the final sign-off.

What, you didn't like the "cyber wave" and everyone doing the robot to fool the cyborgs?

Halloween 4, Trick 'r Treat, and the Blumhouse houses first in that order
Don't do that order. It sounds like you're arriving around open, and Halloween won't be opened yet.
Start with TrT, then work your way counter clock-wise towards Blumhouse.

I don't think that "sold out" means that they expect the park to be at capacity. From my understanding, it means that the projected attendance has reached where they're comfortable that they can put on a good show for everyone.
AKA diminishing returns. Basically, they could sell more tickets and let people in, but the amount of "feel bads" and issues from the guests outweigh the additional sales.

I remember and obsessed over downloading most of the songs from the show
I think this was a big issue as well.
Maybe I'm just kind of an old fart at this point, but the songs this year were really unremarkable. I honestly don't remember more than one or two that they used.

And the wave? It hasn't been a thing for 30 years.
This exactly.
Once they opened up with the "audience participation" instructions, I said "Uh ohhhhh. This might not work out well."

Oh now this is a really weird cup to sell! Going to cause a lot of confusion.
I mean, when you go to the ticket page on the site, they have THREE different "Frequent Fear" passes.
Do they require you to show a FFP ticket to buy the cup?
Do they require you to show a FFP pass to refill the cup?
Do they have a "Peasant Pass" cup good only that night?
One of the Frequent Fear Passes is for September only, so they won't get a free refill if they return in Nov?
One of the Frequent Fear Passes is an Ultimate FFP, so technically ALL nights are FFP nights.
Nah, this isn't going to be confusing at all.
This is beyond dumb. Sell a souvenir cup good for one night and one good for all nights. No confusion.
Agreed. I immediately assumed that it's the lowest tier of the FFP (no Fridays or Saturdays).
Technically the others are called "Frequent Fear Plus" and "Ultimate Frequent Fear"...so they are different?
It's an easy fix through, put up a note or switch the signage to say "Good every Sunday through Thursday Horror Nights Event".

Nice write-up. Thanks! Pretty excited for Scary Tales now. It was really low on my list before.

It is definitely not a walk through as the location has the thing backed up to where there is no exit.
I'm guessing that it might have a mini-show similar to the Voodoo one from HHN24.

This will be my third year but every time I've gone my group and I do stay and scream or get there after the gates have already opened. That's why I'm wondering, though, if it's any different the opening night compared to any other night. Is it worth it to do it the first night where it will be one of the busiest nights or wait at the gates another night when it will be less busy if it's no different?
Without knowing exactly what they have planned for this year, I'd S&S opening night, and plan on waiting at the gate later in the season.

I'm trying to figure out my game plan for opening night.
Is the opening scaremony at the gates worth getting there early for and waiting? Or is it better to just do stay and scream and get into the houses early? Is there a difference between the opening night scaremonies and any other night they open the gates or is it the same?
If it's your first year there, I would suggest getting up front to see the Scaremonies. It's pretty cool to see the characters coming down the street and chomping at the bit to get at you. Plus, you get swarmed just by entering the park.
Otherwise, just do S&S. You're not missing a whole lot.

Question: Since there's no Stay-N-Scream at Hello Kitty this year, where will the third one be? Diagon Alley? Because this is what I imagined:
Finnegan's --> Stranger Things
Diagon Alley --> The Horrors of Blumhouse
Springfield --> Slaughter Sinema/Dead Exposure: Patient Zero
I no Hello Kitty confirmed? I hadn't seen that.
You know, I think it's possible that Stranger Things isn't one of the early release houses. Maybe Finn's releases to Poltergeist and the other NY area houses.
It could be a way to combat everyone rushing from the main gate running into a ridiculously long line already there, plus overcrowding in whichever S&S releases to Stranger Things.
Just a thought.

As a "bulkier" individual, I am curious if they have larger sizes for tees or do they assume like most souvenir merchants that everyone is XL or smaller?
I buy my hoodies in XXL, and I believe I've seen some t-shirts in at least XXL as well.

Halloween Horror Nights 29 Speculation

Untested meaning it’s an IP that they’d have to pay to use, but they’re not sold on the pillbox actually caring about it
