The Director of Horror

From "Fallow": "Sets/Details/Costuming: A The Disaster queue, despite its location, probably has the most easter eggs and little details of any of the houses" I agree with you 100%. I really did feel like this had more detail then any other soundstage house. Also, from the leaked blueprint, Zombiecycles. Was that the garage or hardware scene, because I don't ever remember seeing any motorcycles (and I went through during the day).

Yep. I was going to take it off once all the letters would wear off (it going from solid letters to all of them disentergrating and looking a little more Halloween-ish). but it ripped before the letters wore away.

Well... after exactly 35 days, my VIP Lounge wristband has finally torn. It is a sad day.

Oh my God. I love the part with Julian and the Director's Dummy! (1:45) Edit: Did Fear always have a moveable mouth?

Like some of y'all said, The Storyteller was used soley for marketing. The reason why they used her along with Terra Cruentas is this: The Storyteller, whose name is finally revealed in 2006, did have a presence in 2005. She might not have been in person as much as Terra Cruentas, but she was there. She was on billboards, commercials, the website, shoping displays, apparel, ect. The reason why Universal used her, along with Terra is basically due to Howl-O-Scream. Howl-O-Scream has been known to have icons that appeal to the GP, not neccisarly the fans. The icons for Howl-O-Screams tend to be "sexy". Sylvie, The Raven Twins, and House of Vayne, they sure all seem a bit sexy and scandalous. Even the evil DJ and the cell phone victim, while not "sexy", can relate to the GP with clubs with DJs, music, cell phone, and texting. So Universal decided to create a character along with Terra. Universal didn't want to follow in Busch's footsteps by making "sexy" icons. They wanted their event to look terrifying, edgy, and not for the faint of heart. So they created "The Storyteller". Since Universal must have felt that Terra was too "sexy", they decided not to advertise her, and stick to their path of being edgy and terrifying with The Storyteller. *All of what I have said, basically came straight from my UTH tour guide. I asked if the theory of The Storyteller being used for marketing was due to Terra's costume not being ready in time for the commerical film was true. He said nope, and told me all of what you see above. In fact I'm second guessing his theory, due to the icon of 2005 being an evil jack-in-the-box in a child's bedroom. Evil jack-in-the-box... sexy? Unless it looked like Harley-Quinn or Chance, I think this theory is MythBusted. Also, Sylvie, House of Vayne, and the Raven twins were used way after 2005. The Storyteller.... perhaps the most questioned creation by A&D.

I don't know why, but these two pictures alone made me really really sad that the event was over. By the way, great shots (as usual) Wes!

^ You edited that? (Not in a bad way though.)

"Fate was an Icon that Uni and A&D came up with that they were speculating on using for a little while. But for some reason never did. Kinda like the case with Eddie and Cindy..." "Director, check the first image of my post on page 16. You'll see TJ's powerpoint slide that featured Fate." Okay. But do we have any idea on who she actually was?

Who is Fate, exactly? Edit: orlandinorules56, you need to get your photos into Photobucket, Flickr, or something along that. Then you rick click, you will see something that says "Properties". Click that. Highlight and copy the URL (without copying the http://). Then, when you're posting, click the "Insert Image" thumbnail at the top of your post box. Paste the copied URL into the box, then click "Insert Image". Hope that helps!

Great job! Although there really wasn't one bad scarezone unlike previous years, y'all deserve HotY! Congrats!

Congrats! You all certainly deserve it!

I've heard talk about Cindy's XX theme being played at The Orfanage and now in Hallow'd Past. What is her theme? Is it the song playing on the VIP Lounge's HHN XX Alternate Theme video? Also, I remembered that when I went through, it seemed like I didn't even hear the camera shutter noise in the DE room. Have any of y'all not heard it?

I saw them in my history textbook aswell!

Had a thought. No Meaty Meetz?!? No Samuel Meetz?!? No Meetz Meats worker?!? I know there are several characters from 19 already, but why not him? I don't understand. I guess it's just my opinion. I have a question. I doubt it, but are some of the characters on set one night and not the next. It could be that they're absent, but I would assume that an ABU or Firecrew member would step in. Ex: I've always seen Wolfman, Collector, Crypt Keeper, ect., but I saw This Little Piggy and some other characters only a couple times out of the dozens of times I went through. EDIT: After I saw Andyhhnfan's post, I noticed some other characters I never saw. Chucky (2009) The Wolfman (2009) Tree monster (2008) The Crypt Keeper (1995) Mary Shaw (2007) x2 Queen of Hearts (2008) Ice Queen (2003) Assistant (2008) Chainsaw guy (2009) x2 Frankenstein (2009) Collector (2008) Alice (2008) Dead Cheerleader (1997) x2 This Little Piggy (2008) Stilt walker (2003) Cloaked Jigsaw (2009) Zombie Soldier (2009) Mr. Crepsley (2009) The Night Mare (2002) (2003) (2006) Dracula (2009) Bride (2006) Pumpkin Head (2008) Scarecrow (2004) Carnage (2002) Scribes (2008) x2 Norman Bates (2006) I found this mask at Spirit Halloween. It looks an awful lot like the Crypt Keepper. I guess A&D just put on a beret and some white hair. Just thought I'd share that with y'all!
