  1. Haven't been able to post in a while, but this has been a super crazy year for speculation, definitely wild for my first! This is gonna be my first year getting a Frequent Fear, so I'm stoked to go a lot! 

     

    I can't believe the lineup is pretty much prematurely revealed. But to keep speculation rolling, what are you guys hoping to see from the originals/scarezones that haven't been talked about a lot yet? Personally I'm hoping Tooth Fairy goes the Knott's route and has a ton of dentophobia aspects with buzzing and mouth gore. And I'm also super excited to see what comes of the Vikings scarezone, because big lumbering Vikings covered in snow/ice sounds legit. We'll probably get a lot of ambient Dark Fantasy music.

    Did we not watch the same film? Members of the tethered went out of their way to kill people who got in their way; Umbrae did so once and a couple of random tethered had a scene where this happened as well (won't mention the specifics out of concern for those who haven't seen the movie yet).

     

    And I don't buy into the dismissal about casting either. Even if a Lupita-lookalike only has to appear once or twice during the maze, so much can be done with random tethered, which would make the impact of her & the family's emergence more impactful imo. 

    You're totally right, thanks for slapping some sense into me, lol. I managed to forget about that.

     

    I definitely agree with you, the idea of them not being able to cast it is kind of silly to me. I think Us can and should come to the event.

  3. It's pretty unfortunate that Us can't come, because god it was such a stellar horror film. Kudos to Jordan Peele for some amazing films. I don't doubt Universal's ability to type-cast hard enough to get us a cast which looks like the movie and even has good doppelgangers. I mean, look at Stranger Things, but there really are 0 reasons that the Tethered family would be attacking the guests. And maybe it's just me, but voyeuristic houses are kinda boring.

     

    I'm just still in my corner hoping for Anna and The Apocalypse or Shaun of The Dead :(

    On the final night of HHN 28, while discussing about houses for HHN 29, a Nightingales sequel came up. Then an older man came over who's been a scareactor since 2000, and he told us that from what he's been hearing, they're saving a Nightingales sequel for 30.

    This sounds like useful information! I don't care when we get them, I just hope it's happening! Let's have it set in 'Nam boys. (I'm kidding)

     

    But pretaining to 29, who here sees the possibility of a lead up into the events of 30? I remember in the email about the dates being announced it said "the legend grows" or some shit which sounded kinda noteworthy. That could be a way to get some sort of central theme or icon and it would be pretty neat to have a story again, like with 25 and 26.

    That what I was thinking, but also that would take away from The Usher because every icon has something attached to them and their backstory and for the Usher the Palace Theater is that place for him so it wouldn't work out to well unless the Palace Theater had another history to it that we don't know about. Something that is like Slaughter Sinema, Silver Screams and All Nite Die-In mixed in one with the Universal Monsters would work out nicely. I'd wouldn't even mind if they have to give the current touch up with how they did with Universal Monster's maze where they look much more aged and rotting and scarier, it looks really cool that way too. 

    Honestly, I say Usher + Monsters or bust. Unfortunately not a lot of people care for the Usher, but the Classic Monsters are pretty popular and I feel like are just the right amount of iconic to be notable and attract people, but not take TOO much away from our boy The Usher. 

     

    I just got to see Phantom of The Opera live and now I wanna see his original form at HHN again!

    I had zombie land 2 on my wishlist!

    That would be good too!

    From what I understand though zombie costumes are like, not being used this year or something? At least on Hollywood... I'm not sure what's up with those things the Hollywood director said.

    Someone feel free to correct my dumbass.

    So I think I know what hhn should do this year with its 5 IP and it kinda follows a pattern 
    1. A TV show (ex. Stranger things, the walking dead, American horror story)
    2. A classic movie (Ex. Poltergeist, the shining, the exorcist)
    3. A cult classic (trick r treat, alien v predator, evil dead)
    4. A slasher (Freddy v Jason, Texas chainsaw, saw) 
    And finally a modern horror ( BLUMHOUSE)

    Which makes me suspect 
    Stranger things
    Classic monsters or another classic
    Killer klowns
    Chucky
    Blumhouse (happy death day, US) 

    This is essentially what they've been doing for a while now, and the lineup you've chosen would make the most sense. 

     

    But from what's been spoken about here and on Inside Universal by Legacy, this year might be pretty unpredictable, so who knows at this point. I'm just thinking of things I'd like to see haha.

    It's kinda like an online catalog for the various anomalies that the fictional SCP Foundation (SCP standing for Secure, Contain, Protect) have gathered over the years. And the objects vary. A giant, unkillable lizard that hates mankind, Cain and Able, a statue that will kill anyone in the vicinity when you can't see it move, an old man who drags people into a hellish pocket dimension, a teddy bear that will use whatever it can find to make itself friends, there's a lot of stuff on the site. And it's not just anomalies, people also submit stories to build on the world - about the SCP Foundation dealing with other groups, who are even worse than the Foundation. Or possibly dealing with the problems with SCP employees - such as Dr. Bright, a reckless man who just so happens to own an SCP anomaly that enables him to switch bodies.

     

    If they do make an SCP house, there will be a lot of potential.

    It'll most likely never happen, but here's to dreaming! I might write a mock treatment for an SCP house eventually. 

     

    But anyway, I'm hoping to see Nightingales this year or next year! My first year was right after them in 2012 so I wanna see them in their OWN house/scarezone for the first time!

    SCP would be very Dead Exposure-ish.

    Right? Imagine a room in The Statue's chamber where every time the lights flash he gets closer and closer! 

    Actually, I'm fairly certain an SCP-themed haunt was set to open in Pennsylvania but it was shut down in the middle of production because they lost the funding. Please pick it up via HHN Universal!!!!! :(

    Love the idea! The rights for that though would be fucking monstrous!

    If one person went and did the whole thing by himself then maybe but it's a huge collection of people that make up the universe.

    I was also thinking about that idea recently as well.

    It's nice to dream sometimes. :)

    I mean, if they just did the video game whatever guy made that owns the rights to the game version of the story, much like what they did with Stanley Kubrick's The Shining not Stephen King's The Shining.  Just have the famous SCPs in their video game form and it could be quite a banger.

    I feel like it's just abit difficult to bring those houses to the states, it's so easy for Japan and Singapore to have it featured at their events because that's where Capcoms' base is, so I don't wanna rule out not seeing video games again at the event, something had to have to happen, honestly I think it's because some people just don't understand and love the concept of seeing video games being replicated into houses which, I'm not one of those people, I'd love to see more and more horror ip games be given their dues as houses but something definitely put a halt to all of that. even though we don't get the actual ips though Universal has definitely gone through and taken inspirations from those games for their originals, three examples, 1. Interstellar Terror was inspired by both Event Horizon and Dead Space, 2. Seeds Of Extinction from last year definitely took inspiration from Last Of Us and 3. Saws N Steam: Into The Machine definitely took inspiration from the Utopia that was Rapture but to their own version. 

    Yeah. This is all super valid, and I definitely respect the original takes. Like, Seeds of Extinction blew my mind. I'm just hoping one day I can see a game appear in its full glory. Maybe if Nintendoland is popular enough!

  12. Not to derail the current topic, but what's the consensus on video game houses or streets?

    I remember going through Resident Evil and thinking it was pretty bad, and the Silent Hill house (which, yeah, I know was mostly based off the movies) wasn't so hot either, but are two not so great video game houses really what's made another video game house not happen since? There are so many games that I think could definitely generate some nice buzz and cash like Resident Evil 2 (Remake), Bioshock, The Last of Us, or even Dead by Daylight to name a few. 

    I just find it really dumb that they'd rule out an entire medium just because of that.

     Please don't get me started on Tim Tracker... 
     I can't stand him or all mighty thor and  a lot of these vloggers. 
      How can you be a review of everything and his dumb voice gives me headaches. 
     His videos aren't special.. I rather dive any more down that deep hole of hate.  


    I just think we could freeze this thread for a week or two? 

    Yikes okay

    Does anyone know what would block HHN from using Pet Sematary, other than Stephen King’s Involvement?

    Whoever's producing it/distributing it. I can't remember but if it's anything remotely Disney its a no-go. Though WB seems to be not totally out of the question!

    Legitimately hate the losers who turn on their lights in a scarezone.  Like, dude, its dark for a reason.

    This. Not only is it annoying for us, but imagine how rude it feels for scareactors to have lights in their faces? I'm surprised they don't go blind, practice some courtesy y'all. 

     

    If you watch the TimTracker they always get upset about people flashing lights in actors' faces, it's just common sense man :/
