  1. I guess Saws N' Steam will be our CDT SZ this year? It would make sense >_>

    EDIT: Also, it's been pointed out that they misspelled "Orphanage" and spelled it "Orfanage". After listening to the conference call I think I have a theory as to why. I think they spelled it OrFANage to let us know it was for the dedicated HHN fans. Because no one in the GP knows who Cindy is, but all of us do. Idk if it's been said before, but that's what I think :D

  2. Marseille was the site of an infamous bubonic plague outbreak (known as The Great Plague of Marseille), and Paris has The Catacombs (which doesn't have a direct tie to the plague but was created to relieve disease caused by contamination caused by improper burials and mass graves in church graveyards). Mix those two stories together and you get a great concept for a house.

    Ahhh, I just didn't get it at first, they're so far apart and all. That makes sense. Also, I think I read somewhere that there was an excess amount of bodies of victims who died of the Plague in Paris that contributed to the large number of the Catacombs. But the Catacombs were not created for the victims of the Plague, that I knew. But thanks for clearing that up!

  3. My most anticipated house is definitely Catacombs, then Psychoscarepy, then maybe LT :) the rest all seem really intense too. I said it before but I don't really know why the said Marseille and Paris, they are on opposite ends of France. But none the less, the Catacombs are a real thing in France and they look amazingly scary. They go on for miles. More specifically, one hundred and eighty-five miles. In fact is it illegal since 1955 to go into some parts of the Catacombs, people have gotten lost and literally gone crazy.

    As for scarezones, I don't speak a word of Spanish, only French, can someone tell me what the Spanish one is, it looks fun hahah. I think one word is death, it looks similar to the French word for dead, morte. Saws N' Steam actually sounds cool and frightening. The other one I'm really looking forward to is The Coven. I think Psychoscareapy could have worked really well in the streets, the patients have escaped you know.

  4. Okay, why did they pick Paris and Marseille (Pronounced MAR SAY) for The Catacombs? They are on completely different sides of France. Marseille is in the south right on the edge by the water, and Paris is up north, almost all the way up north. In Paris there are miles and miles of real Catacombs from the Plague, but Marseille is just so far from Paris. Anywho, I think the house will be great, from what I've seen and heard about the real Catacombs.

  5. I think they're kind of hush about BM because they know that she is Fear's pitfall. To be completely honest, Bloody Mary is scary, she looks like she could kick ass. She has no fear, and the main icon is Fear. Sooo I see why they wouldn't talk about her much.

  6. LOL I love how in the conference call someone mentioned Bloody Mary and it went down something like this.

    "So can we expect to see Bloody Mary?"

    "...................................... uhh."

    "Yeah can we expect to see Bloody Mary?"

    "Uh..... I stand by my original statement.... heheh."

    Hahah that was amazingly awkward.

  7. I may be dreaming here, but how cool would it be if they made an Art Deco book for the public with all of the house renderings, photos and concept art from the past twenty years? That would be *orgasmic*. But it probably won't happen. But still, I can dream.

  8. Personally, I think we should let old icons die. Otherwise it just turns in to bad rehash ideas. For example the Nightmare On Elm Street Series, the last ones SUCKED. Freddy's Dead was just... you know you saw it, you know it was bad. Anyways, I think if they don't bring back any icons it keeps them in that really good condition, like if they keep bringing them back, many people of the GP are not going to be impressed. But cameos this year might work, (not really small parts, but significant ones) in case people haven't seen an old icon. But really from what I've gathered, they've been saying they're using all of the things from the past they've learned and using that to create something new, right? Idk, I'm probably making no sense right now, but it's late and I can't sleep. :lol:

    EDIT: This probably should have been posted in spec.

  9. I was at blockbuster.com and saw something interesting. Fangoria is doing Fright Fest, they're releasing some movies and blah blah blah, but they're using a zombie thing that looks a lot like the Usher, Idk it probably shouldn't be posted here but I thought it was interesting. Does anyone think Fangoria will sponsor houses again this year?

  10. ok im gonna give my honest opinon,i was comparing this year and last years websites and last years was so much better. It was more creative, how the movie posters would come to life and you could see the history of the theater.I mean dont get me wrong this website is good but just not as good as last year....plz someone tell me this is a teaser site and that the real site will be uploaded closer to the event.

    To my knowledge, and from what I personally have heard, the website is just a teaser site at the moment. We haven't gotten the full website yet :o

  11. Just wondering, when do the media items usually get sent out? You know like in 2007 I think they had the Jack In The Box, 2008 had BM's Jewelery Box, and 2009 had the popcorn box. I'm guessing this year it will be the Lantern filled with whatever goodies Uni has up their sleeves.

  12. This is a bit off topic, but I read some spec a while ago about Medusa not being a Gorgon, I was always taught differently growing up.

    Medusa was the prettiest of the three Gorgon sister (the only mortal one), but when she had sex with Poseidon (some sources differ whether it was consensual or not) Athena cursed her with the face and body of of a Gorgon, and anything that would look at her face would be turned to stone.

    Idk, it seemed like a good idea to type this up, but now that I think about it.... Waste. Of. Time.

  13. I know alot of my posts go alittle unnoticed which is ok. But my moms universal representative just had a meeting with her boss and she told my mom that there will be a very big announcement on august 26th :) thats kinda far away but just remember you heard it here first :)

    Thanks Alex!
