Here is it! My second fanmade dream HHN house Inspired by NIN’s The Downward Spiral that is also based on my interpretation of the album. After listening to the Spiral again, It made me realize how challenging it’d be to make a house of it not just because of the heavy topics such as mental illness and substance abuse (unless they add a disclaimer), but also how unsure I am what would Trent Reznor feel about it, since he’s pretty forward-thinking when it comes to music and the Spiral still might be very personal to him now. But this is just something I wanna do for the fun of it like the last one I did. Enjoy!
Nine Inch Nails: The Downward SpiralDescription: Go on a decline and follow the life and times of Mr. Self Destruct from the classic 1994 concept album by the Grammy Award-Winning and Rock & Roll Hall of Famers Nine Inch Nails. When you go deeper in the spiral, there’s no chance of turning back.
Facade: You enter a maze of outer and inner covers of the album artwork, including the iconic “Wound” front cover, and the “Future Echos” with blood-stained feathers on the floor. The actual facade of the house is a dead, rotten brain with an the iconic band logo tattooed above on the middle while on the left and right sides are the shell spirals, spinning around slowly, as you enter the mind and world of the album’s protagonist.
Mr. Self Destruct: The spiral starts with the home of the protagonist, starting to feel so depressed with a hint of anger in his living room on a couch while watching TV of muted live performances of NIN with drugs and porn magazines on the table, and posters of industrial bands other than NIN such as Ministry and Stabbing Westward on the walls. The protagonist is a rivethead, as a reference to the band’s music scene. It may look like he was in a good place, but isn’t. As you leave the living room, you enter the short hallway of doors where the protagonist yells at you, telling you to leave him alone and he is so destructive with death threats, raising his left or right arm up and holding a large-sized injection needle, as a reference to his struggles with substance abuse.
Piggy: I think this is Trent Reznor’s take of a break-up song, so I’m picturing the next room to be the living room that is the home of the “Piggy” who is the protagonist’s ex-girlfriend with pig sounds as a background other than the song itself. Like the main character, she’s also a rivethead with posters of industrial bands and logos in this scene. The only difference is she’s a hybrid of both human and pig. You see the protagonist arguing with his ex-girlfriend over their relationship. You walked through the small hallway of doors again where the “Piggy” pops up for a scare, yelling at you with profanity and saying things like “Piss off, jackass,” “Fuck you,” and “Go to Hell, Asshole! We’re done!”
On the other side of the small hallway, the protagonist fires back at the “Piggy” for another scare as a response to his ex-girlfriend by saying “Well, fuck you too, and I don’t care about you anymore cause you can’t stop me!”Heresy: The next room is where the protagonist began to lose his faith and rejects at a fictional religious venue, vandalizing fictional religious status and symbols in a very blasphemous way with the lyrical chorus of the song graffitied on the walls. A couple of more scareactors as the main character are in their hiding spots to pop up in front of the guests to scare, yelling at them by saying “I don’t need faith, and I’m better off without it!” and “Don’t want it, don’t need it anymore,” holding a broken off statue head with small cracks in his grip.
Realistically, I could see Universal go with a more fictional religion than actual ones cause if they did, then it would cause some stir from local communities. But still retain the purpose of the album’s story and theme.March of The Pigs: The next won’t feature the protagonist, but it is about his negative view of society and humanity in everyday life. The people are the human pig hybrids like the main character’s ex-girlfriend at an urban town street with walkways. Some of the “pigs” will pop up to scare the guests. One is a violent butcher who works at a local butcher shop, one is a cop with a taser on his left or right hand who pops out of the alley, then another is an angry driver in his/her car, yelling at the guests to “Piss off and get out of the way.” But there are more “pigs” in this room before you enter the next. A barber also jumps out who is equally violent as the butcher, a bartender sprays some beer (which is actually water) at you, and a homeless person from another side of the alley jumps out with a knife and yells at them to “Get off his property.” You’ll also hear the pig sounds in the background other than the song itself.
Closer: To casual listeners, this song is about sex, but it’s actually more than that. It’s also related to depression and the desire for sex, so he could feel better despite his rough sayings and personal problems. You enter a strip club where the protagonist enjoys his moment with a young and beautiful female stripper on stage dancing. The main character tells her how much he wants to make love with her to fix his mental health problems in the same talking point of the song. Then you enter the changing room where both female and male scareactors as ugly-looking strippers pop out of the curtains to scare guests, saying “See my world and love me like an animal!” and “Feel me from the inside!”
Ruiner: The next room is inside the protagonist’s brain where a more sinister-looking cell character - whose name is the Ruiner - messes around with the main character’s mind, as you then next walk through the blood vessels of the organ that were ripped in holes where the Ruiner and the devilish cells pop out to scare the guests. The room extends with the protagonist in his bedroom, laying on his bed and notices his conditions has gotten worse than expected, as he shakes his body and struggling in a weird way, and screaming at the same time like a cry for help.
The Becoming: The protagonist is losing his old-self and all of his bests, as the new self is starting to become the worst of himself. The walls of his bedroom were punch through in holes and graffitied words that saids “Both humanity and society sucks!! I hate you all!”, and his furniture were also destroyed by him. The main character sits on his broken bed with a dull and emotionless yet anger-looking face of expression. You walk through another small hallway of doors that were also vandalized where the protagonist pops up for a scare, yelling at them “that they all suck” and they should “go fuck themselves” while holding either a kitchen knife or an injection needle to attack.
I Do Not Want This: This song sounds a lot like if someone trying is to help the main character, but he doesn’t need it. So, he got me thinking if he was at a asylum/mental hospital. The next room is a therapy room where the psychiatrist speaks to the protagonist about his behavior, trying to help him recover. The main character was strapped on the couch, hating all the things he said and trying to ignore him. As the room extends, the protagonist managed to break through, beating and torturing his doctor while yelling he doesn’t need any help nor doesn’t he want a treatment. He also destroyed the office furniture and desk with the title of the song on the front wall for guests to see.
Big Man With Gun: The protagonist lets out his insanity even more, and all hell breaks loose, as the main character pulls a Jack by releasing the patients from their cells and cause carnage in order to escape. You walkthrough a damaged hospital hallway with patients popping out with sharp medical instruments to scare the guests. You then enter the activity room where the patients are trashing it down with corpses of nurses and orderlies. The protagonist pops out on the other side of the room, toying with a pistol, shooting wildly, and screams “Me and my big fucking gun!” with mad laughter.
A Warm Place: You’re back in the protagonist’s living room. He trashed everything except his couch and table with drugs and porn magazines atop. You see him lying on a couch, trying to relax, and stay calm, and feel better with odd facial expressions as a hint of more insanity to come. You’d think it’s over, but it’s not.
Eraser: The first part of the room is a dream scene where he’s back at the strip club, while talking dirty to the young and beautiful female stripper after her performance, as a bigger, fatter, and uglier female stripper pops up for a scare to reference the calm lyrics of the song before you get to the heavier part, then it extends to a bloody splattered room where the protagonist harms himself so horribly that he was coated with blood, scars, and scratches and screams in front of the guests to do what ever they want with him and kill him.
Reptile: The next scene is a dark shady alley where you meet a prositute that is hybrid of both human and lizard, asking to take her for love. The alley gets darker and darker, as you witness the “Reptile” again pop up for the scare along with the protagonist, as she was roughly dragged by him. He was in a very delusional state, thinking she cheated him but wasn’t.
The Downward Spiral: The protagonist hits the lowest of the spiral where he’s back at his home in the living room, harming himself even more, as it extends to his destroyed bedroom where the Ruiner from the brain is making the main character to kill himself with a pistol, but keeps failing while the protagonist prevents himself many times as he could.
Hurt: His destroyed home has become a complete mess. Everything is filled with dirt, mud, blood, and shit with corpses of other characters the main character had seen and met from previous scenes of the house as a reflection of his life. It’s nothing but an empire of dirt like one of the lines from this song. He’s sitting on a couch with a gun wound on his stomach, letting himself die with no help, as you get one last scare from a rivethead devil with a chainsaw who is about to take the protagonist to hell. This character is a reference to the final line on the chorus of “Heresy,” as it extends to a shell spiral, spinning around quickly.

Waiting for Mark M to post another speculation thread first, since this thread is made for us to chat about last year’s HHN.

I’d love to see PsychoScareapy back at the event. Here is an original concept and artwork I came up with!
Dude! That’s an awesome artwork! Can you make some more for our house ideas? I’ve already done mine inspired by the Jungle Book as a Scary Tale spin-off. I think that would make a perfect addition for one of my posts.

Halloween Horror Night 30 House Codenames.
HHN: Icons Captured
This was codenamed “Pantry” as a reference to how Pantry’s have a variety of different items stored away other than the characters from previous years and Fear’s lantern.
Puppet Theatre: Captive Audience
This one was codenamed “Blender” that was probably referenced to it’s backstory.
Beetlejuice
I have no idea why “Fridge” was it’s codename for some reason to be honest with y’all.
The Bride of Frankenstein Lives
Codenamed as “Coffee” as a reference to the Monster’s reanimation from the dead, and drinking coffee makes you feel alive when you’re awake.
The Haunting of Hill House
This one had another weird codename known as “Freezer.”
Revenge of the Tooth Fairy
That one was codenamed “Toaster” as a possible reference to a tooth loose and release out of the mouth.
Welcome to (S)Carey: Home of the Heartland.The codename of this house was “Sink.” Sounds like a Cleaver reference to me cause sinks are very common at Butcher shops, and the butchers always washed their hands a lot after touching raw meat.
Case Files Unearthed: Legendary Truth
Weirdly known as “Boil.” I was expecting to be “Plup” or “Noir,” but those are easy guesses.
The Wicked Growth: Realm of the Pumpkin
Also known as “Oven” as a reference to pumpkin pie and how the pumpkin grows out from the ground.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2021)
Codenamed as “Griddle” as a reference to what you use to cook meat on.
All of them were literally kitchen-related codenames.

Guess who decided to make a HHN lineup idea with Fear returning as the icon?
HHN: Fear Returns!
Haunted Houses
Horror Nights: Fear Never Dies (Icon House)
A24's Hereditary
Silent Screams: Theatre of Terror
Universal Monsters Presents: Creature From The Black Lagoon
Psychoscareapy: Spirit Hunters
All Nite Die-In: Take 3
The Thing (1982)
Storyteller's Scary Tales
Carnival of Carnage
Screamhouse: Your Time Has Come
RUN: Eddie's Revenge
Scare-Zones
HHN: Years of Fear
Army of Darkness
Mythz and Legendz
A24's Midsommar
Dead Exposure: Apocalypse
This is something I’d like to see for 35 or 40. If room for eleven, I’d bring back the Orfanage as a sequel to represent Cindy again like what we had with one scene in (S)Carey recently, but she takes over the newly-built Orphanage as her own “playhouse.”-

If the 90’s vibes are the case, then they better bring back Vamp again with Grunge icons from Seattle area as Vampires.
-
Hamlet is Shakespeare’s closest story to meet the horror genre imo. It’s a dark tale of vengeance, guilt, insanity, and gruesome violence. You could argue that it is secretly.

Found this on YouTube! The guitar downtunes does sound a bit like if it was done by Brad Delson from Linkin Park or Page Hamliton from Helmet, and the keyboards gave me the Broken-era NIN vibes. I love it!
-
Yeah, It could work as a scarezone similar to Your Luck Has Run Out but better. The slasher character just interacts the guests like normally, then hides back while telling them to wait for moment and scares in his/her true form.

So many creatures to choose from.
Been checking some of the most Notorious killers worldwide that they could take some inspirations for an original slasher-themed concept like Pedro Lopez from South America who was very prolific and was responsible for claiming the lives of between 110 to 240 victims in Ecuador whose whereabouts remained a mystery after he was released from jail (which is pathetically sad and fucked up that the guy is out there now for more than two decades).

What about Russia? A house representing the nation would be interesting and maybe involve Koschei the Deathless in it.
Couldn’t believe that I’ve forgot to add Russia! I would definitely include that if we ever get eleven houses for the event.-

Those all sound rad, it's nice to see old or unused concepts return.
The only thing is a part of me wants to have the Mexico house relate to like, monster luchadors. Mainly because I'm a big fan of wrestling but a Chupacabra maze can work really well
Could the scarezones cover the other arenas not previously mentioned?
I’m about to bring in the scarezones next, and each one will represent a country like the houses individually.
Norway: Pagan Black Metal Scene
China: Wu Shamans/Sorcerers
Italy: Legendary Roman Creatures
Morocco: The Boukhencha ogres
South America: The Maricoxi Ape Men
And the Lagoon show could be it’s own version of Illuminations.

What the lineup would look like of an International theme for HHN? It would mostly be originals with some returns. Each house would represent a country. Think of it as the World Showcase of Horror.
Greece: The return of Hades from 2010
Japan: Youkai creatures in a castle/Wicked Man’s concept
UK: Lesser known Victorian stories
USA: The return of Nevermore from 2011
India: Scary Tales spin off inspired by the Jungle Book
Africa: Voodoo (Less problematic than the other imo)Canada: The return of Yeti from 2019
Mexico: A Chupacabra house that was supposed to be built in 2012, but scrapped.
France: The Beast of GevaudanGermany: Nachzehrer Vampires

Another potential house idea for this event that could fit well is one based on Victorian Horror Literature or maybe even Jack the Ripper himself.
If that were the case, then it would mean they have to bring back Frankenstein, Dracula, the Invisible Man again, which it’s too predictable. Why not go with lesser known Victorian stories like The Castle of Otranto, The Turn of the Screw, and Carmilla?-

Probably not. While it would be cool, outside of the ring I can't think of many Japanese horror films or animes people are familiar with, if it was going to be something like that, the houses would probably be based around Japanese mythology, or the better option would be to probably have the whole event be themed around horrors from around the world
Speaking of which I gotta write a house for the mantis dude
Inuyasha and Demon Slayer are among the most popular anime shows related to Japanese mythology and folklore, but I do want a Youkai house though. I also like the idea of an International theme. One of the scarezone locations would fit perfectly for a Norwegian Pagan Black Metal scene. I even came up with a Scary Tales spin off house inspired by the Jungle Book for an India representation.

This might sound too similar to characters from Leave It To Cleaver, but it’d be interesting if there was a Chef icon who is of course a cannibal that makes food out of his victims for not following the rules and used skeletons as tables and chairs for his local restaurants. Have yourself a taste of Fear!
-
If you mean that and the signs, then yeah - but I’ve expected to see scareactors as the icons.
Concept wise, I get it they were supposed to be trapped in Fear’s lantern with a handful of exceptions, but it was the event’s big milestone year to make past favorites looked like if they were unleashed. Not so very much at this one disappointingly.
-
Since this house mostly took place in the late 40’s, have anyone noticed some historical references to the Second World War and the Great Depression? I know there was a photo frame of Harry S. Truman who was president between 45 and 53, which is probably the closest one to notice in terms of historical accuracies.

The HHN Finale of Seek & Destroy. All the scareactors emotionally gathered for the Controller’s ending speech and hugged each other after.

This house was sadly the last one to be located at the Shrek theater.
-
I hope there’s gonna be a closing ceremony tonight; I’d love to see all the icons (with also the inclusion of Eddie, Cindy, and the Terra Queen), Leatherface, Beetlejuice, The Bent-Neck Lady, and Frankenstein’s Monster and his Bride standing behind the front walkway of 30 Years, 30 Fears scarezone as the finale of this year’s event.

Any luck on the tunes that are made for this year’s event? One of them is an awesome banger in main gate and parkwide from what I’ve remember hearing.

The next thing we all should be doing next is rank all the scarezones. Here’s mine!
1. Eddie’s Revenge
2. Gorewood
3. Seek & Destroy
4. Crypt TV
5. 30 Years, 30 Fears

Ideas for Houses (Get Ready to Hate Me)
in Your Nightmares
Posted
Thanks! All of the scenes were based on my interpretation of the album. The reason why I’ve made it cause I had been wondering where the places the main character was at other than going on a mental decline from start to finish. If it were to happen, where would it be located? I guess it would work either way at a parade building or a soundstage. Have you checked out my first fanmade HHN dream house yet? Would love to hear your thoughts on that too.
