Am I missing something or do we not have a construction photo section for Orlando?

Regarding the school bus massacre, it's easy. They don't. They focus on the immediate aftermath.
What I'm referring to is the school bus teetering on the edge of the cliff. It was an image I saw and there is a school bus floating around backstage so I'm putting two and two together.

Yeah I guess.... just tired of it using up space. Its the new Walking Dead IPO
Hey, at least they're not using it as the headliner like they've done with TWD in the past.

@Legacy I know your ranking is more based on the design front, but heard any grumblings about what houses seem to be the ones with bigger scares or which houses they think will be their scariest?
Orlando isn't really known for their scares and they don't have to be. However, like most years, I anticipate the IP houses being the least scary, because they are worried about saying certain things or acting in a specific manner. Whereas the originals have more of an attack mode.

Based on the Midsummer Scream panel, I want to see how they set up the school bus massacre. A very intriguing image came from that panel.

(Also, off-topic but whatever happened to The Conjuring? Wasn't it gonna be a house this year, but once again had to get scrapped?)
@Legacy and I have some conflicting info for this one. A source I have, more on the build side of things said "we had it then lost it again." That could really mean anything and it could have been a rumor amongst that group; who knows?

Universal would be smart to not use Halloween in "the big reveal." The IP's for Halloween they're using aren't strong enough and they already blew their load with Stranger Things getting revealed so early. That leaves ONE AWESOME IP to use as their big gun for this time of year and it is.......
Wait.
You'll just have to wait.
It's more fun this way.
I will say I'm more excited this year than I have been in awhile. Killin it!

So it was initially planned? What caused it to fall through?
Halloween 2018 was on the docket, but a long time ago. That's when I had the indication that any part of the franchise was not coming at all, but alas...

my condolences...
let me ask you this.... Ive been wanting to go to Hollywood and do touristy stuff. One thing being a tour of the studios. If I went during HHN would I be disappointed in Hollywoods event compared to all these years in Orlando?
I was a scareactor there for two years and it was embarrassing attending that event after growing up with the Orlando version. It was better from the scare factor, but the A&D is lacking because they just don't have the space. I didn't attend 2016, but I heard it was awesome. Other than that, I'd say you go to Knott's or the haunt that's at the action sports complex in Bellflower..that thing was AWESOME!

22 hours ago, Jediwhit82 said:Halloween 4? What in any way makes this 4? 2nd film in this timeline... 3 reboot... 3rd house at HHN...
Also so I don’t get the hate for purge, it’s a creative IP that comes with numerous great scenes and costumes for the event to use, and the purge is a good excuse to have bad things happen. While I do think we should keep getting it every 3 years or so instead of back to back for years like Hollywood. There are moments in every new purge film and soon tv series, that I think makes good material for horror nights. If HHN needs ips, let it be one thats R rated and violent, and gives creative lots of freedom and cool costumes.
Halloween 3 and 4. Because 80's and consecutive numbers. And because we lose IP's.
4 hours ago, Gambit said:So here's a thought.
We're supposedly getting a Wizard of OZ based house. The last time we had OZ at the event was Path of the Wicked in 2008 when The Wicked Witch of the West had done away with Dorothy and seized control of the merry old land of OZ for herself. Is it just a coincidence that we're supposed to have OZ returning to the event again exactly 10 years later? What if we're returning to OZ 10 years after when the scarezone took place and seeing what's happened to it's inhabitants since we last saw them.
Just saying...
Ah! Did you you see my post about the similarities that run rampant in this event, compared to 2008? There are more than 6 houses/scarezones that are either a sequel or have scenes related in some way to the year of reflections of fear.

What a waste of a perfectly good maze location. But I was amused by the "no actual fireworks" part at the end. Honestly, the promo isn't terrible since its in the style of Stranger Things. I just wish it'd have stated it was going to be a maze because A LOT of people were confused by it.
That ruined the whole thing. Overall as a whole it wasn't bad, but it looked like an explosion they would have for a HUUUUGE SALE AT LUMBERJACK WAREHOUSE!!!!

What were the original plans?
Fear was not a hokey icon and instead it was Cindy(icon) who was sacrificed to make the roots of horror come alive with past icons and those that almost were, having their own individual houses(Caretaker, Usher, Jack, Eddie, Storyteller, etc.). There were supposed to be roots coming up from the ground, projected all over the buildings. I heard Terra Queen and others may have been involved instead of IP houses, but that veers from the plan I heard directly from the horses mouth.

Dead Exposure, possibly Path of the Wicked, a house about Halloween traditions, a B-horror movie house, a house featuring a crashed aircraft...
But wait...there's more!

Hello out there!
I'm doing a project and I was wondering if anyone had a rip of the Reflections of Fear interactive flash version of the site.
I keep clicking on new items as they're swirling, but they won't load. Any idea what I can do?
Thanks!

Also, I just had a huge revelation. If anyone wants insight as to the content of the event, this year could be VERY similar to 2008 in many ways. There are a lot of parallels and themes bridged from that year. I'm not sure if it's intended but it's there.

Easy... All the zones have been announced, they've announced the "theme" for this year (the past), and none of the houses are tagged as "icon" houses. There's no second show to feature an icon, and I've been TOLD by numerous sources there's no icon.
In regards to future icons, there looking at using one for 30.
Jack. They're interested in using Jack.
It'd be nice if they can resurrect their original plans for XX and do it the way they'd intended.

An airplane house would center around one of my worst fears. Would be so pumped in that case!
I'm still trying to figure out what this "it was a zone, it had a home, just not its own" Mystique is referring to. Might it be Poison? With the Oz rumors, it would fit.
It's definitely not coming this year, but what are the odds we ever see Hellraiser at HHN (officially)? Given that none of the movies grossed very much (first one grossed just $11 million), I have to wonder if it'd be a lucrative enough property.
The whole house is not a plane, I can assure you.
Also, I started the zone, home, own thing! Mystique gets enough credit for their clever haikus, so I'm going to stamp my name on that one! Haha

Actually... thats not true. A&D planned on having Cindy be the icon for HHN XX... Hence why she finally had her own house. It was all centered around her bringing the icons back for the 20th anniversary.
....Howl-o-Scream has had shirts for their original houses in the past. Universal still hasn't learned this concept. Notice how they'll also neglect scarezones as well?
The main truth I wanted to get across was the fact that A&D did not want "Fear" as the icon. Yes, Cindy was the sacrifice to bring all of the icons to life with the "roots of evil," but that wasn't the point I was making.

I'm not sure what I'm more excited for...the B-Movie content they're going to project while waiting in line, or the house itself.

I had heard. I'm having a hard enough time convincing people that an icon isn't happening this year. I'm not going to start diving in to the backstage politics against icons anymore.
I actually had an hour long conversation with Roddy about this business in general and he said A&D loves them and marketing doesn't. And because $$$ wins out every time, marketing usually gets what they want. This is why, for example, they have director's cuts for movies, so the artist can stop being a puppet.
The ironic thing with "Fear," is that year marketing wanted to make a physical manifestation of Fear into an icon and A&D did not, but instead, wanted their main icons to have houses....we all know how that turned out.

So, the theme for Vamp 85 is a 1985 NYE party gone bad. To me, that means to stay in the theme, the music needs to be from 1985 as a NYE party is typically a retrospective of the current year. It is also a NYE party so the slow stuff has to be kept to a minimum.
Thoughts?Honestly, I've never been to a New Years Party or gathering that plays songs JUST from that year. I would imagine they would even play 60's and 70's music at that party, but for the sake of it being Vamp 85, that's not likely. However, I do see them playing anything between 80-85.

Fingers crossed for IT.
Kinda hoping Halloween (2018) isn’t coming this year. It doesn’t even come to theaters until mid-October so anyone going only in September (like me) won’t get to fully appreciate the details. It could end up like Dracula Untold.
Halloween 2018 is not coming.
