No, it's has been officially stated by Aiello that it is NOT Mary Agana. The costume is an old Bloody Mary costume with a white doctor jacket. The scaracter just happens to have dark hair. One of the corpses at the end of Catacombs wears an old Bloody Mary costume, but that doesn't mean they are suppose to be Bloody Mary.
Everyone saying that it is her, I believe, are fans just so desperate to see her back.
that is actually really disappointing to hear. her tie-in made the backstory of the house far more interesting, to me.
-
i liked the effect in this house with the shaking floor and medusa (i think?) scaring from a drop down door. i got a really good scare from that.
-
Depending on where you were in the street it could have been one of three. Most times during the last set the cast is in party mode but a few of us stay hardcore scares. I will let those on the cast know
Thanks for the shoutout!i was entering the zone from amity. he saw me, i walked by, thought i was safe, and he creeped up a moment later. there was a teenage boy a few steps behind me that clapped and laughed, if that helps any.
-
didnt get a good look at him, but there was a masked male in zombigras around 1145 on oct3 who scared the hell out of me. creeped up from behind.
lady dow in havoc, used to be in containment. a+ scare
-
top house for me. cast a on oct 3 killed it. fantastic energy and acting everywhere. wasn't expecting to like this house nearly as much as i did. the tie in with dr. agana is really cool, too.
-
definitely one of my top houses. not the best aesthetically, but the scares are there in full force. whoever was in around 630-7 on oct 3 did a fantastic job. one of the ladies scared me so darn good.

ahh, i'm gonna be working so no finding will be able to occur. shame. cindy button sounds awesome though.

cindy button?!

this thread contains all the set times http://www.horrornightnightmares.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=900
as a general rule, i'd say try to avoid going in houses 5 minutes before and 5 minutes after each cast change. if you see it happening right in front of you, let a few people cut ahead of you in line.

Here's one:
To anyone who claims that scareactors in a house/scarezone are "not doing anything" or "didn't scare you" nine times out of ten that person is either resetting or trying to recuperate. It's very easy for someone attending the event to say something like that, but please understand that if a scareactor tried to scare everyone that went through their area they'd either pass out or have a ton of lame scares. I don't think anyone sets out to deliberately not scare people, you just have to remember that beneath the makeup, effects and costumes we are, in fact, humans, not some animatronic that can perform the same function repeatedly.
thanks for saying this.
unless you're talking about esqueleto muerte... it is my understanding that the actors in there aren't supposed to aggressively scare at all. not everyone digs it, but i think it is a cool change of pace.
-
^glad to hear
as a personal request... if you guys could try and post the times/cast you're going through, that would be really great.
it seemed to me like people enjoyed the house... but there are so few reviews in comparison to the other houses
-
wait, photos are allowed in houses this year? who said this officially?
-
i would be willing to travel to HOS just for this house. unfortunately, every date of theirs coincides with HHN dates.
i just wish one day was different so i could check it out.
-
Twenty stars for twenty years?
herp a derp, i'm not observant at all
if its militaryesque, why 'shadow creek', though? seems too coincidental (shadybrook)
-
After taking a closer look at the Shadow Creek photo I believed this doesn't look like a military academy to me. All the Military academies I've seen look a lot like manors. The walls look like they belong to a bunker, the rust looks like the area is near a body of water
I say it's a military installation or a prison. But most likely a military installation
i agree. i think its military related, but not an academy.
-
i also think "shadow creek" is military related.
some symbolism research because i have too much time on my hands.
Alpha & Omega
The Alpha and the Omega symbols represent the eternal nature of Jesus Christ and God. http://christianity.about.com/od/symbolspictures/ig/Christian-Symbols-Glossary/Alpha-and-Omega.htm
talks about alpha/omega in reference to the apocalypse: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_and_Omega
sword
archetypal for strength, often used to display military honor
lightning
can be symbolic for punishment, possibly from god/mother nature
stars
there are 20, unsure of significance
blue, black, white
estonia's flag colors (lol)
most of this makes me think that tent 2 is apocalypse related, with "shadow creek" possibly being some branch of the military, not sure how though.
the roles in that house include a "dow" with basic, half, and full forms, suggesting a sort of transformation throughout the house (think wolfman's transformation). as for "why" people need to shave their heads, it may not even be for the "lol bald people" effect, but maybe theres a part of the costuming/makeup effects that doesn't mesh well with hair or something.
edit, ffffff tweedledum beat me to it. oh wellz.
-
i'm calling bs on that cindy facebook. if it were something official, i would hope they wouldn't use a poorly 'shopped harry potter photo for her default.
there are plenty of "real" cindy images to use.
-
the smell of some soaps reminds me of the frankenstein house, and the scent of baby powder reminds me of the chucky house a lot.
most of mine are smell oriented, i cant think of any more at the moment.
-
I totally agree. I think people are getting a little paranoid. Giving vague and/or mildly misleading character names, such as Pinnochio/Chucky from last year? I believe it. But deliberately giving wrong information just to throw people off seems silly, and like an awful lot of work.
EDIT: So apparently people are being told at orientation that about 70% of the roles are code names. But even still, there's a difference between a code name and a flat out lie.
i agree. in my opinion, the names have to have some relation to the role, and they likely won't make sense until after more information is known. the pinnochio/chucky example fits with that, because pinnochio is a pretty good code name for a "living doll" if you ask me.
i'm all for a little secrecy. not casting 20 something people under the name of "Jason" (looking at you, HHN 17) and something a little more debatable helps keep the element of surprise. but completely misleading the people who are paying for the event seems not only like a really paranoid thought, but also a really bad idea business-wise.
putting up fake props seems like an enormous waste of time and money to me, but i'll bite. i'm not convinced in the slightest that the ones in disaster are fake. should any of the props be fake, the ones in jaws do seem to be the easiest to remove. i like the childish feel that it gives off, so i am really hoping its not the case.
all that being said, maybe i'm just being defensive because i happen to like the way some of the roles and their areas of the park seem to be coming together. who knows at this point. i just hope we get some concrete information soon!

More pics from today, including better shots of the swingset, and Sting Alley...what's in Sting alley? You missed it!!??!!? Click here to see it all.
And yes, all pics were taken from walkways and no "backstage" pics.
the only thing different about sting alley is i notice that the fake posters that were up are taken down. i haven't been down sting alley since hhn last year so i don't know if this is new or not.
and i don't recognize that broken-steel-enormous-cigarette-looking-thing in the bottom right of the first photo. i could just be unobservant, however.
also, i'm way too excited about a broken swingset and bloody sink.
-
well i enlarged this, and then screencapped this from the video posted in the thread... but as i went back to quote it it was deleted.
but here it is anyhow, from pha_q's (i believe) video
i'm not sure what standpoint this is from, so just to clarify again, i did not take this photo!
-
holy cow i loooove this.
-
first sketch is my favorite, great portrayal of a skoolkid
but i gotta say that chance sketch is coming along really nice too. -
so i was doing some speculatin' on jaws because i have nothing better to do with my time. i did some googling about swingsets and fires etc in horror movies and found some more relations to michael myers (someone earlier said nightmare man may be a reference to him). a huge stretch i know, but figured i'd put it out there.
"As a child, Michael inexplicably murdered his older sister, Judith Myers, on Halloween night. Locked away for his crime, he escaped fifteen years later and embarked on a legendary killing spree in his hometown of Haddonfield. He intended to relive Judith's murder by killing his remaining sister, Laurie Strode, but was stopped by his childhood doctor, Sam Loomis. Believed to have died in a fire, Michael Myers lived on and committed various crimes in the state of Illinois before catching up with Laurie twenty years later. His current wherabouts remain unknown. "
"Knowing that Loomis was tracking his movements, on Halloween, 1989, Michael played a game with his former doctor. He left a clue on Loomis' map pointing to Haddonfield Elementary School. When Loomis showed up at the school with Marion to investigate, he found a wounded dog with a drawing of himself stapled to it. Loomis recognised Michael's attempt to humiliate him; that he was "like a dog, a stupid obedient fool" for answering Michael's call. At the same time, Michael murdered a teacher inside the school. The woman, who had just advised her students to chase their fears away with a smile, was found strung up on a swing set, her face contorted into a twisted smile with barbed wire.[10] In 1991, Michael stalked a young beauty queen who was named "Ms. Haddonfield 1991". Mere moments after she was elected, he attacked her in her dressing room and decapitated her with a knife. Her corpse was found "staring" at itself in her dressing room mirror.[11]"
i honestly doubt the house relates to myers in any way but i thought it was interesting.
and some random stuff i found...
"Valedictorian is an academic title conferred upon the highest ranked student among those graduating from an educational institution. The term is an anglicized derivation of the Latin vale dicere ("to say farewell")"
&
"valedictorian [ˌvælɪdɪkˈtɔːrɪən]
adj also valedictory
1. saying goodbye
2. of or relating to a farewell or an occasion of farewell"
^perhaps maybe one of the final scareactors in the house, instead of being a strictly academic-type role, maybe "valedictorian" refers more to the farewell aspect
horror movie called "nightmare man" : http://www.nightmaremanmovie.com/
