Cooger and Dark

I like Eternal Darkness a lot but this idea just makes me think of the Pause Room in Resident Evil. Honestly, if they want to do a videogame house they should just make it an inspired by like Saws and Steam was to Bioshock. Beyond that, I would be surprised it it ever happened.

You're right, I have heard around 2019 give or take a year. I will move this chatter to another thread.

The MIB expansion pad is pretty much the entire area behind MIB so where do you move those tents to where a queue or queues could get to them? If they are going to move something it will be the Parade building but once again, where to and how would they make it accessible to guests?

We are all talking Nintendo and nobody wants to bring up the HHN elephant in the room? Okay, fine, I'll ask it: what does this mean for HHN once construction begins? I mean, they are using Kidzone and rumors are flying that they may extend into the MIB expansion pad. They could potentially get rid of the Parade building and say goodbye to the tents if they use the MIB expansion pad.

I spent so much time on a bench watching 7 in action that one of the scareactors came over to ask me how their cast compared to the other. Also, my favorite scarezone memory happened in 7 while I was sitting on the bench. A father was walking by on the sidewalk with his two 10-ish year old kids who looked petrified. One of the chainsaw actors revved the saw and ran at them without ever getting up onto the sidewalk and the children cowered back in fear. Aas the actor followed along beside them revving his saw the father proceeded to yell at the actor that "Sidewalks are the safe zone, you are not allowed up here!" . The actor put his foot up onto the sidewalk, smiled, and revved the saw one final time as the kids ran out of the area. Edit: I also spent a lot of time watching Maskerade last year and when they got going they were phenomenal. I love zone-watching so much.

How would you change things? Do you think HHN teasing information themselves earlier would help?

By the way, the more I think about this the more I think, "Okay, psychopaths at a carnival makes a lot of sense. But, psychopaths FIGHTING Body Collectors? That seems more appropriate for violent inmates."

I know. My optimist side just wants the cohesion while my realistic side knows they are probably just going to do what is popular or easily explainable.

Fair point, Legacy. If we were in the midst of the attack on the carnival I would prefer the Hellgate inmates. I mean, imagine them grabbing random carnies and pulling them up on stage for a 'costume' show that ends in torture. It would also make for some great carnie/inmate interactions throughout the zone as we see them pursuing their prey. That being said, is the carnival scarezone supposed to be a fall festival? If so, the idea of going from the Great Blizzard of 1888 to a fall festival does not cohesion make.

I wholeheartedly agree. I just figure, with Shadybrook inmates already showing up in a house and rumors of a Hellgate SZ being cancelled, why not just swap out one set of inmates for another and then use Sting Alley for an entirely new zone?

At that point, why not make it the Hellgate prisoners taking over the carnival? It would be interesting if they have us walking through AS the take over is happening so that we can have both inmates and carnies running around.

I wish it was Body Collectors vs. Nightingale's in Shadybrook. Edit: Regarding Legacy's list, he seems to confirm two roaming hordes. Morde means bites in portugese which seems like it might be zombies or vampires.

I agree and disagree at the same time. HHN is popular and obviously that means most of the houses will end up with long lines. That being said, I never saw Dracula or FDTD over 1 hour last year while I consistently saw TWD at 2+ hours. Of the three nights I went I only visited TWD once and was not a fan, but obviously either interest or word of mouth were strong enough that people found it worthwhile to wait 2+ hours to get in the house.

Or maybe it means that house will be moving somewhere else?

Jimmy's odd numbered clues are the only real clues and the others are just red herrings?

Out of curiosity, does anyone know if there was there ever any weight to the AWIL scarezone talk from last year?

Double Feature could also apply to what they did in the 7 or FaceOff scarezones with the two different looks the casts had.

Or HR Bloodengutz coming back? Or a combined Usher/Director house? Either would be worth getting excited over. Edit: I realize that both of my guesses are based upon past properties but I hope it is something we have never seen done before. The more TRUE originals (ie not even sequels to past originals) we see the better.

Most people believe we might get a dark Christmas house with Krampus, not a house based on the movie Krampus.

The map has the name Henry Herrick on it who was a Lieutenant at the Battle of Ia Drang during the Vietnam War. This battle was documented in the book "We Were Soldiers Once and Young" by Harold Moore.

No, it's Richard Dreyfuss from Jaws. There's also a Gremlins picture...

Unless there is some really hidden image, I assume this is implying a celebration year with one or two icons. I hope it ends up being more complicated than that as that seems too easy. Edit: Also, none of my guess is new information which is why I REALLY want there to be something more to this clue.

I have pitched a similar idea but I would prefer Singapore's Puppet Master to be the one pulling the old icons strings (see what I did there?). I mean, if we have to share with another park, Singapore seems like the one we should be sharing with.

If you really wanted to stretch what Babadook is, I guess you could. That being said, it would feel like wasted potential to me as they could easily devote three or four rooms of the house to walking through the popup book.

And if part of the house was you walking into the popup book, I would be completely sold.
