Midnight Detective

No point in discussing what could have been on a speculation forum? Bruh

Considering where Graveyard is and how great the Facade for Ash vs Evil Dead was my hope is that the whole outside area is littered with tomb stones. I'd also confidently bet the Plastic Surgery scarezone uses either The Dope Show or the Beautiful People in its soundtrack

Hi everyone - Not to beat a dead horse but I think everyone worried about US is overlooking a very important aspect. HHN is developing a relationship with a content-creator (Peele) who whether you like him or not, is gaining quite a bit of pull in the entertainment industry. HHN has been made possible throughout the years by good relationships. Rob Zombie helped put this event on the map! And through HHNs savvy networking we have many of the wonderful properties you're excited about this year. I didn't love US, but not only am I excited the see what A&D will do with it, but also glad that HHN Orlando has established another relationship to work with. ...That being said I'm so glad my boy Graveyard didn't get cut

Those are Disney ticket annual pass prices for a seasonal event. They would literally have to start killing people at the event for me to ever even consider having my butler buy those tickets for me

I disagree but this stance is actually the reason why this is my favorite forum to discuss HHN and horror. The uncompromising love of the genre (and event) that's here is unmatched

Making a house on event itself kind of drifts into the territory of making a house akin to Nightengales - 9/11 Imo this is why Horror and Comedy have many similar roots. The saying "Comedy is tragedy plus time" relates as well as the intention of either horror or comedy. It's the difference between Pirates of the Caribbean and Pirates of the Pancreas - you kind of have to strip the event of its actual human suffering or your final product is in poor taste. That being said I truly don't know where that line stands and it comes down to a judgement call by A&D.

On the other hand I'm really for Graveyard: Hide and Seek

I don't know what I'm more shocked by: The fact that Game of Thrones was on the table or the fact that it got pulled for such stupid reasons. And by stupid reasons I don't mean their hesitation due to circumstances There would have been so much to work with: -Whitewalkers -Zombie Mountain -Dragons -Burn Victims in Kings Landing -Sieges/Attacks -Environmental Variations I sure hope Universal gets another shot in the future. This would have been huge for HHN and I'm sure A&D is even more disappointed we are.

So IF Zombieland is coming I think itll be a lot more similar to Psychoscarepy Unleashed than the Walking Dead and I think that's exactly why it's being used. - Scares that can be aggressive instead of lumbering - Rock n Roll soundtrack - Fun setpieces - Unique characters and interactions If its going to be utilized how I think it will my only question will be how will they top it at HHN 30

I think everything sounds great but I'm always impressed and usually surprised by what I like the most

Walking Dead

This forum gets fancier everyday

Something I was thinking about is I bet the soundtrack/sound design this year will be incredible: Stranger Things already has a great soundtrack. Then you've got the Ghostbusters theme, Rob Zombie practically built some of the scenes in his movies around the music and the absolutely lit Killer Klowns soundtrack. Tooth Fairy and Depths could be absolutely hauntingly ambient as well as Graveyard: Hide and Seek. Alternatively we might also get something ala Return of the Living Dead if the idea that partying teens wake the dead if they go that route. What really got me thinking though is the music choices for a house set in Appalachia. It'll be missed opportunity if they don't have music playing when you enter like they did in Dead Waters. The first 55 seconds of You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive that then blends in to something oppressively ambient would stop me in my tracks.

If Graveyard: Hide and Seek is true and its anything, even a taste like Winters Night, it is now my most anticipated house

Not to nitpick but a "yeti's" defining feature is being native to Asia. An "Appalachian Yeti" is a misnomer unless theres some inventive lore about a world traveling fuzzy friend from the Himalayan mountains. More fun facts: - Yeti comes from a sherpa word yeh-teh - Abominable Snowman comes from a mistranslation of Yeti - Sasquatch comes from sesquac, a Halkomelem word and is native to the Pacific Northwest - Similarly Bigfoot comes from a newspaper misprint of a "big foot" being printed as one word - The Skunk Ape/ Swamp Ape or "Florida Bigfoot" is a creature native to Florida (but rarely and sometimes allegedly signed in Louisiana, North Carolina or Arkansas) - Attack of the Swamp Yeti was most likely a reference to the Swamp Ape. Most people don't know about the Swamp Ape however and Swamp Bigfoot doesn't quite roll off the tongue - The "Bigfoot" native closest to Appalachia is actually called a "Yahoo" as described by Daniel Boone. The Yahoo is a Kentucky legend

I think if the scarezones match the house lineup were getting this year this will be the HHN we've had in a long time

I love the artwork and couldn't be more excited to see all the monsters in their folklore "homes"

Just wondering but did the Walking Dead pave the way to the use of a lot of the IPs we've seem recently? It was a repetitive nightmare for those who love the creative aspect of HHN but did it have a positive outcome? Is the return of a high amount of original houses since the end of the Walking Dead a result of the Walking Dead leaving or the abundance of IPs now in use? I agree and its really weird how marketing views icons. Second question - how was 21 (a year full of well received originals) followed by 22 which had a low house count and other problems?

Can someone explain to me why A&D/Marketing clash so much? Has marketing ever made an overriding decision that down the line resulted in being the right move?

falls is now lower case. I swear it was originally capitalized. Right?

It's going to be weird if we have a deep sea house AND a toothfairy house the same year considering Knotts has done both But I don't know what's going on. Just saying

No kidding, the things I learned just speculating last year was crazy

It really doesn't surprise me - Everyone's been sleeping on Chucky like he doesn't have a movie coming out and there wasnt just a scarezone last year Also weirdly enough, last year no one really knew Chucky was coming either

If it wasn't before it is now lol
