I loved Purge. The facade was one of my favorite's too. It just seemed to work really well, it had really good proportions and everything.
-
Did they remove the seats from the main theater room's floor or just use the queue spaces?
-
Incredible, incredible photos Mark. Especially the Evil's Roots and Jack shots. !! ! !!!

That has got to be one of the greatest facades for a Sprung house, let alone any of the locations. (Llorona and Nevermore were pretty amazing too though).

October 9th and 10th

Anyone know what houses are on the Unmasking the Horror Tour in the morning and which are in the afternoon?
-
The hot air balloons posted in the concept art thread look fantastic! Definitely excited to see what the rest of the scenery will look like.

I found the full article of Fede Alvarez, John Murdy, and Mike Aeillio talking about the Evil Dead house. As much as I've become pretty uninterested and tired of Horror Nights Orlando, this really has me imagining some amazing things for the event. It's a great article with tons of neat notes mentioned by all three guys.

I liked the concept you made of the two realms brought together. Even though Silver Screams was one of the favorite houses of 2009, I would've loved to see this executed by Universal!

Could someone explain the "Christmas netting lights" room?
-
I dont have one of those fancy cameras like the rest of you. All ive got is an iPhone.
Jordan and I.
Is that a Sculder mask?
-
Guess who has the bunny mask?
Me.
Aren't I fancy...
-
Well. That's pretty awesome.
-
Well, I sure wasn't expecting that for a warriors costume...
Interesting approach though!
-
Can I just say I adore the facade and its adornments?
I'm also in love with the music and sound effects!

I'm fasicinated with film directors (wanted to be one for a while) and enjoy horror.
It's a bit self-explanatory, but sounds a bit silly, as well.
Oh well.
-
really? that sounds awesome, are you going to take pics?
Of course! I'm doing Winter's Night for my haunt this year. (I have a Nightmares thread on here.)
Also, would it be too much to ask for someone who's heading to Universal to take some construction photos, take a straight-on shot of this plaque?

It would be greatly appreciated!

While I feel like the street design this year is really quite repetitive, I'm liking the way it's turning out.
I really wish I could see all these street sets, with the fact that I'm actually recreating Hawthorn Cemetery currently.....

Noticed this picture on the facade on this ( http://careyparanormalresearch.tumblr.com/ ) website:
I comes with a paragraph explaining Hartford Mansion (Dead End):
Plans are in the Works
The Paranormal Research Society of Carey, Ohio may have its first live investigation in just a short month. We are making plans to do a ghost hunt and investigation in the Hartford Mansion, which lies on the outskirts of town. The Hartford Mansion is as old as it is mysterious; a few Society members have begun research into its dark past, while we make sure it is within our financial budget to carry out the investigation. Updates to come.
What happened at at the Hartford Mansion? We won’t rest until we figure it out.
Doesn't really seem that Victorian, at all. But I love it, nonetheless!
-
Well... looks like no Horror Nights for me this year...
Not really angry, because I understand the financial situation (apparently you can go on a vacation to Wyoming, have a haunted house, and have an architect for a dad), but I am very sad that I won't be visiting Universal this fall.
Look on the bright side! An easier budget for RHH, more construction time, and not a be a Debbie-downer, but I wasn't really looking forward to half the houses this year, either.
Anyways, there's always next year! (Unless we all die five days before Christmas...)

American Horror Story
in Haunted Houses
Posted
The production design by Mark Worthington & set decoration by Ellen Brill for American Horror Story is beyond spectacular and for that reason this can be amazing. Super surprised Ryan Murphy let this though. Asylum would be incredible to walk through if it was represented completely & absolutely faithfully in set construction, but that season's design and theatricality are almost too good to ever touch again.
Hopeful rooms:
-Addie's Mirror Closet
-Murder House Overgrown Facade w/ Young Addy
-Staircase Foyer (Ben Hanging)
-Home Invasion Den
-Basement Strobe Lights w/ Tate & Infanata (Scaring Violet's Classmate)
-(Tonight You Belong to Me & Nightmare Audio)
-Freak Show Oversized Banners on Side Road
-Banner Gauntlet & Hellmouth
-Twisty's Bus Exterior (Expecting this to be pulled off pretty faithfully)
-Under Big Top w/ Halloween Night Decorations & Edward Mordrake Green Mist
-Tall Green Grass, String Lights, Tents, & Trailers Exterior Grounds Pathways
-The Ferris Wheel would be incredible if they still have it possibly from World Expo 2007 and fits clearance in soundstage.
-Cortez Front Desk w/ Liz
-Far Side of Lobby Between Pillars & Wall
-Upper Level Room Corridors with Open Doors to Show-Scenes (Sally's Open Window w/ Curtain Blowing in Wind
-Hotel Green Tile Bathroom & Tub Shower
-Room 64 with John Lowe's Detective Stringed Pin-Ups & March's Rubber Serial Killer Mask with Acid Bath
-Neon IV Feeding Cages
-Ten Commandments Glass Domes Display
-Basement Mattress & Contractor Fire Burn
Wondering:
-How they'll present Freak Show's flow, as much the hellmouth facade and gauntlet would be amazing to see but hard to pull off with a HHN adaption.
-How Liz Taylor, Countess, Dandy, & Elsa will be represented.
-Which audio tracks will play, as Murphy's audio choices work wonders for specific atmospheres.
-How the transitions will be done between the three seasons. (Title music/Final episode happenings represented/Stylized HHN Evil Dead-esque lettering spelling forthcoming season's subtitle in the show's iconic typography.
-How the expanse & openess of the Hotel lobby will be done, if at all.
-How exact the set construction will match Worthington's & Brill's (and costume designer Eyrich's) designs... Hopefully pretty well.
