That’s good to hear :O I was definitely hoping for the 12 house rumor to be true, so I’m glad 10 house 5 scarezones isnt 100% set in stone
Well, who knows? Plans change, things happen, so as with most rumours they remain rumours until officially announced by A&D through the website.

not sure where they got this info and I’m not sure how reliable they are but....10 houses 5 scarezones anyone?
Yeah I saw that. But last year all marketing started with 9 houses, before dropping the number of houses, then confirming 10. Moral of the story is take marketing with a pinch of salt

Thank you, I found it as you were probably typing it. Looks like designs are Pumpkin Guts and a horror movie mix-tape.
Interesting that of all the SS shirts they had, they are selling the Pumpkin Guts.
I'm sad they didn't have a Schittie's Kids shirt...
I swear, that bloody pic that dropped down was purposely timed for when I went through, without fail, on every run through. And like clockwork, I jumped a mile and swore like a trooper. Yet I still
went back again and again. Glutton for punishment! Haha

Well that’s disappointing
Yes. Felt it was very much clickbait as first tweet referred to hhn29, whereas the news was very minor and related entirely to hhn28......

I think the latest Ifrit tweet is confirming number of nights this year. Nothing more.

Guessing this is stranger things part 2, given the hysteria surrounding last years announcement and the hype in the buildup. Plus it was loved by the general public.

Just seen Glass, and ouch. What a mess of a film and nothing worth using in HHN. HHN might be able to use a scene or two from the ending of Split for a mashup house, but don’t hold your breath.
Also so lots of fingers in the Glass pie. Universal, blumhouse, Disney (as distributors), and more besides. Makes things tricky.
-
Just a quick one as currently looking into flying out early October, and wondered how HHN crowds typically are over the Columbus Day weekend? Is it insanely busy, or manageable with express?

i know this is going to sound weird, but Pink Floyds The Wall. the reason why is ¨Goodbye Blue Sky¨ was a song they did, it was in ¨the wall¨ album, and it was the first song in the side 2 of the album.
Game of Thrones confirmed! Going beyond “the wall” to see the army of the dead and the white walkers.

What about some oldies but goodies like My Bloody Valentine,The Strangers,Drag Me to Hell, or Cabin Fever?
Yes to drag me to hell! Love that film so much. Annual Halloween tradition for me. Please bring it for HHN!

Since it was originally going to be an Alien attraction, for Disney to make just that happen at DHS now that they own the rights to it. Unfortunately, I just see them sitting on the rights to it.
That was the original plan yes, but they quickly realised that little Timmy might be too traumatised by Alien and the complaints would pour in very quickly. Plus Alien in the same park as fantasy land was too much for management.
They then then went down the more comedic/original route which worked wonderfully. But even with all the warnings outside and constant reminders to parents that maybe little Timmy should sit this one out, they still took kids in and still complained about it. That’s one of the main reasons it was replaced by Stitch, and the less said about that garbage the better.
Oh and think I did Alien Encounter when I was 7, and loved it. It was scary and creepy, but quite funny too. My cousins on the other hand (both slightly older) did not love it as much, but look back now and laugh about it. I’d love to do it again one more time. I miss Skippy!
-
Speaking of Disney and horror, I really wish they or someone else would bring back alien encounter (or something similar). One of my all time fave attractions, and so many great memories of my cousins and Auntie screaming to “turn the bloody lights on!”. It was a dark dark day when stitch was put in, and quickly removed.

I think drag me to hell, if done right, would make an awesome house. Great mix of scares, comedy, gore and gross scenes.
Or, even better, how about an original take on the film where you the guest are cursed by the gypsy woman at the beginning? Then the maze would be you being attacked by the Lamia, and everything that comes with it. And at the end you get “dragged to hell”. I think that actually may work better as there’s a lot more freedom over what you can do and the story you want to tell.

I just want to want it be known that that I doubt we will get Halloween house next year.
Agreed. Think it’ll be saved for 30.
I heard some funky rumours that Hellraiser may finally be coming for 29. There’s a tenuous link to “prove” it but has anyone else heard this? More than the annual “it’s coming” rumours I mean.
-
I doubt they’d do Scarecrow 2 or Hive 2, even though they were trailers before Slaughter Sinema. However, if they get a decent enough story and it made sense to bring back then anything’s possible. I really enjoyed both of these at HHN27 so if they were to come back I wouldn’t complain.
I think Slaughter Sinema 2 would be on the cards at some point, but maybe in a few years time rather than next year. Again really enjoyed the original and would love to see a follow up.

My other take from early rumours is if they are already talking about 12 houses then there is no budget for sit down shows. Bye bye academy of villains. Shame as I thought their show last year was brill. Guessing it wasn’t the people eater it needed to be

My feeling on the comments that 29 will carry the same feel as 28 is that it will continue to be fun. I really enjoyed just how fun the scare zones were, and was more of a party atmosphere. A lot of the houses had fun elements in. Not sacrificing the scares, but adding more humour and more of a party feel to scare zones. I don’t think there was any deeper meaning to those comments.
-
As you can probably tell from my avatar (the Llamia) I’d LOVE them to do drag me to hell. It’s my go to Halloween film. It’s fun, scary, gory, and I think a great fit for HHN. They’ve done Sam Rami stuff before, so don’t see why they wouldn’t want to revisit his other works

Let’s get straight into this in my ranking order:
1. Poltergeist. Gorgeous house, good scares, but fun. Could do this house hundreds of times and never tire of it.
2. Scary Tales - is it wrong the Hansel and Gretal scene always makes me want a cinnamon roll?!?! So inventive, fun, and the three little pigs get me every time
3. Slaughter Sinema - again fun and inventive. Love the midnight swarming monsters and the swamp yeti is fun to interact with. Shitties Kids camera gets me every time without fail
4. Seeds of extinction - last of us in walkthrough form. Creepy, terrifying, and still love the willow stilt walker scare!
5. Carnival graveyard - gorgeous set, fun yet big jump scares. The clown is my fave here. Great interactions and genuinely scary
6. Stranger Things - very true to the series but wilted in a strong field this year
7. Trick r Treat - beautiful sets but not that scary or memorable
8. Dead Exposure - not scary. Just disorientating. Spent more time trying to work out where I needed to go than enjoying the house
9. Halloween 4 - Michael Myers is fun but not scary at all. Good interactions though
10. Blumhouse - poor. Boring. Disappointing. Only blot on this year

Just looks like they're going to do something stranger things related with the bike. No clue what, but that's sure what it looks like to me.
I imagine a sneak peek, or some other kind of marketing ploy. Maybe even a first look at the demogorgon?

I hope it’s the shared announcement. Get that out the way sooner rather than later

No to mention its the silliest f**king movie ever created. My god that was terrible.
Just my opinion of course. A rather strong one at that..... LOL
Couldn’t agree more. It was awful. They literally went from “wtf are you messing around? This is a joke” to “omg I’m gonna die!” In record time haha. I had to switch it off halfway through. Couldn’t face watching the rest of it.

Halloween Horror Nights 29 Speculation
in Halloween Horror Nights 29
Posted
With 5 Scarezones I hope they scrap the awful “selfie zone” by the entrance to the park. It’s such a cop out and doesn’t actually stop the other zones turning into selfie zones. Maybe that’s what they should start calling them from now on......
