Here's my idea for a Trick 'r Treat based house.
You enter in Emma's yard with all of the ghost scarecrows. You can see the facade of the house, it is an unpractical set. You come upon Emma's severed body with the pumpkin lolipop. Then Sam jumps out at you with a sheet. You enter through a gate in the fence and are now in the yard of Mr. Kreeg. His yard is full of jack o' lanterns. You enter under the porch and into the den. You see Sam run across the hallway upstairs. Once you exit the den and enter into a hallyway leading to the bedroom you see Mr. Kreeg strugling for his life after being attacked by Sam. Still going down the long hallway you hear a shotgun blast coming from a room to the left of you. Then you enter the bedroom with the flaming jack o' lantern and red writting all over the walls. You exit the house and now are in the backyard of Principal Wilkins digging the grave for the kid he posioned, Charlie. You walk through a tall wooden fence surrounding the yard and are now in what seems like a rock quarry filled with thick fog. There is very little light and you here the voices of children taunt you. Shortly after, the flickering of the bus headlights reveal the children in their costumes, inches away from your face. After you escape from the children you are on the path lit by jack o' lanterns in the forest. After you are distracted by Laurie in her Red Riding Hood costume, a vampire tries to attack you, which later turns out to be Principal Wilkins. Afterwards, you come upon the suprise party. All of the girls are ripping out of their storybook costumes and transforming into werewolves. You see their dates, dead. Once you are about to leave the party, mauled and scratched body of Principal Wilkins falls from a tree with his his vampire costume. You leave the forest and are in an area filled with thick, dense fog. The only thing in sight is a jack o' lantern. You see the flame go out, everything is dark. Then an extremley loud scretch is heard, a blinding light is flashed several times revealing Sam's face in jack o' lantern form.
Like it?

Would Andrew and I have permission to do a Trick 'r Treat house. I think it fits this this theme perfectly, is a movie (which means it is recognizable to some degree), and could work perfectly as a house.

I totally agree with Shotguy, we are not looking far into it. So I went on wikipedia and read mostly everything and got an idea. It might, in fact it won't make complete sense, because we've only been working on this theme for a short while.
The voodoo queen (which ever one we choose) requires sacrifices for the voodoo practices. Which in this case will be similar to a Body Collectors or Blood Ruins, but set in New Orleans around the 1840's. So similar concept, whole new atmosphere.
What do they do with all these sacrifices, like I said above, use them for voodoo practices. This is the maze that will show them "bottling up" the sacrifices and making them into their "potions".
Food plays a huge culture in New Orleans todays and many years ago. There happens to be this local restaurant where everyone loves to go. From the outside this looks like it has nothing to do with voodoo, but it's in the kitchen where all the fun begins. The God limba was a cannibal like Shotguy said. So various voodoo followers go out to where the sacrifices were made and gather all the "left-overs" they can find. They bring them back over to the restaurant and separate all of the bones from the meat.
They've been running low on bodies so some select voodoo followers go out into some of the infamous above ground crypts and... grave rob. But while some are robbing bodies, the others are robbing the dirt around the crypts
Back then it was common to have voodoo ceremonies underground, and not in houses. So some select voodoo followers are assigned to dig out these underground areas. While they are underground, digging out tunnels and rooms debris collects. Such debris like stones is not overlooked.
Not much of this makes sense now, but the Gris-Gris is the main thing that ties it all together. A Gris-Gris is an amulet that protects the wearer from evil and brings luck. These are very popular in voodoo. The Gris-Gris is a small cloth bag containing herbs, oils, stones, bones, hair, nails, grave dirt, and other personal belongings. Tales of Terror in 05 centered all on the cycle of things such as the blood wine, sacrifices, and her dagger. This theme centers all on the cycle of things. Bones from the cannibal restaurant, the stones from the underground areas for their ceremonies, grave dirt from when they would grave rob if they are running low on scarifies, and the hair and nails from the sacrificial harvestings (Body Collectors) all would go into this small pouch.
You also saw me mention “select voodoo followers” a few times. Along with the main icon, there could be all of his/her followers or “workers” helping with the chain-cycle.
*Sorry if you don’t like my ideas, we all have different ones*
*I could only think of 5 houses*
-
I'm up to the challange, but I don't know how Andrew and I could base 8 houses off voodoo.
-
Even as a mostly Orlando fan, that was mean. haha
I actually thought that was the real deal, until Zoolander that is.

Original
I 100% agree with shotguy about NOES & Horrorwood

Sure, since you had the idea to do this! So I'm guessing I'll be one of the maze designers. But like I said, I'd be happy to help anyone with anything; whether it be maze/zone plans and design, characters, or creative insight.
***Try to go in chat everybody tonight!!***
-
That's really too bad that they deleted them. Luckily since I knew they might be deleting them I read mostly everything on the page.
-
you have some good drawings, have you thought about character design role
Thanks! Really, I'll go with any role(s) aslong as it's maze designer, character designer, or creative diretor.
The thing is I can't crank out a character concept art very fast. It takes me about a whole night to do one. But hey, the quicker it is, the less quality will be in drawing.
-
Ok thanks for your info about the disaster queue
Is that the whole queu of Disaster?
Sorry for all my questions but i've never been to Orlando before
I cut it off a little bit shorter, but for the most part, yes, thats the queue.
-
That's small! But hey, you can't change the guidelines. Thanks for changing the color and size!
-
I say that you should hand of roles.
But whether or not were voting or just getting roles, here is a very small fraction of my work. Mabye all of us should post some of our past/current work so we know who were voting for. *My scanner doesn't hold anything bigger than 9x11, so my haunt drawings probally won't be posted until I go to my dad's office which was a huge scanner.*
*My drawings aren't very light, the scanner just doesn't pick up it all up. So you might want to tilt your screen back to see it better.*

And to anserw your question DOH
The queue for the mazes are
The Backdraft Queue
The Shrek Queue
House of Horrors has its own Queue
and the last is inside the abandon Wild West Stage going around the maze itself
most of the mazes are backstage so the lines are the only thing visable inside the park except HOH and WWW stage mazes.
Thanks.
I know I posted this only a few pages back but seriously, HOH, it has a psycho, mummy, chucky, wolfman, frankenstein, ect. (the classics and what I like to call them "semi-classics"). So as we've seen HOH is usually... bad. So I don't understand why they don't just theme it towards the classics and semi-classics. I know it would basically be the same as the year-round HOH, but it just makes more sense. Take Chucky: the Chucky theme worked great in the good guys factory, but nowhere else, because Wolfman's Forest is for the Wolfman, not Chucky. So just make it more intense and add a little more actors. Besides, with the money they save not trying to theme HOH to a certain theme could go towards the real mazes. Just take USO's Silver Screams logo and make it Silver Screams for USH, mabye minus Julian.
*I'm sorry if any of y'all don't like me "re-posting" this but with all this talk about HOH I thought I'd post it again. I'll delete it if it upsets anyone*

Like Ringmaster said about the major queue line props, they build around them.
Apicture for refrence:

^ I love magic, but that's money that they could truely put elsewhere.

Would maze designed have to both draw on paper and do Revit, ect. for the blueprints?
There could be a different maze designed for every different house. Even though they might not do it in A&D, it might be a good idea to give everyone that wants to be maze designed one house. But the two main maze designed would do the majority. That's my idea since Agent, Andrew, Shotguy, and I would like to do it.
If you are maze designer, you would probally already need to have a drafting table, parrelle bar, stencils, and possibly Revit, ect. I wouldn't make it a requirement, just a good idea to think about it.
-
Could someone please resize my sig please to the largest size, yet still being in the requirements. Also, if you could change the background color to fit the background color for this site, that'd be great!
-
Where does Hollywood hold their queues for the mazes? I looked on Google Maps & a park map, and it just doesn't seem like there's enough space around the maze to hold people. I've only been to HHNO, and their queue lines have to be at least 2 miles long!
-
I can crank out a blueprint for a complete haunt in a day or less, so maze designer would be good. Except if I'm creative director then I probally shouldn't have two jobs. But if someone is busy with something non-HHN related, I'd be happy to fill in.
BTW: maze designer do both the creating the maze and putting it on paper, right?
-
The new backlot does have a theater, i wonder if they could use that for something. Maybe.
-
^That picture with the plane from Margaritaville is my background, gives me a good laugh. (Hopefully that bridge is sturdy enough to hold that many people.)
Back on topic: Yes, Harry Potter would most likely boost HHN's attandance.
-
This was found secured to a trash can towards the Vamp Assistant's scarezone last year - this cert has nothing to do with the movie, so we can only guess that it is a clue to hhn20.
Also, don't forget TJ did say the theme this year is 'Arts and Crafts.' Like Roddy said last year's was 'Classic.'
Out of all the speculation I'm hoping CD's is right.
That was also found like black7mask said, outside the park. It was in a display in City Walk on the walk-way to the area where Pat O'Brian is. It also had a carriage, some trunks, some old sepia-tone photographs, and some other stuff. When I first saw it I was wondering if had anything to do with HHN or BC, but didn't think so.

Now that I think about it, I will have limited avalibility Monday June 20th- Friday June 25th. But I will still be avaliable, just not everyday.
Shotguy06, you work for A&D?

Not really an update but, what song is the one playing when you see the page where it asks whether you want Hollywood or Orlando?
