Bsquare Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Hrm. Well, it's early days yet,but I have to say I like what I'm seeing here. I like the music, the atmosphere, and the whole gambling/blackjack connection...it's simple and elegant. The whole thing reminds me of the HHN 17 tease, with the mirror and the music box. Of course, it could go anywhere from here, but the basic thrust is already fairly clear, I think. It's cool. It's a far cry from last year, when my reaction was not so much "Cool!" as it was "WTF is THAT?" But do you want to know what I REALLY like about it? Easy. No gnarly teeth. No growly voice. No art-damaged post-modern horror-paisley symbology. Just clear, simple imagery. REAL storytelling in place of obscure clues. In other words, NO FEAR. Could we be rid of old rootface? Have R and D seen the error of their ways and taken Fear out behind the barn...I mean soundstage...and capped his ridiculous warty ass Old Yeller style? Because if they HAVE, I just may find a design team member and give them a big old wet French kiss. One more thing: Could this mean we will be seeing a return of Ghost Town, the best HHN maze thqat no one ever talks about? One can only hope. Wow, I'm actually excited about this, after only one little teaser. Of course there is still plenty of time for it all to fall into the crapper, so let's just wait and see. In the meantime color me cautiously optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickC Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 (edited) They also updated the mobile site today. It's got slightly different verbiage describing the event and a pretty snazzy header: Face the odds and see if you’ve got a chance to survive Halloween Horror Nights® 21. You can get to it by going to m.halloweenhorrornights.com, but it'll look really pixelated unless you're viewing it on your mobile device's screen, as it's optimized for QVGA resolution. They also have one optimized for larger which will look slightly better on your desktop screen, but you'll have to fake your browsers user agent to see that. It also has this spiffy calendar: EDIT: And one last website related update. There's also a non-flash version of the full site for those iPad people or the >1% of the population without flash installed in their browsers, and it looks like this: Edited June 29, 2011 by NickC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really excited about this year and hopefully we have a lot of original houses and not too many remakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just talking about Ghost Town in the wishful thinking thread, and based on the update, I would love to see the old school western blackjack table as opposed to any Las Vegas modernized theme.

DeputyDan Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I've listened to several different versions of "Luck be a Lady". The song on the page doesn't sound like any version I've heard. I've been searching for different Big Band era Gambling related songs, I've got nothing so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mae Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 The music sounds very Glenn Miller to me. I'll see what I can find. Mae Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been searching for different Big Band era Gambling related songs, I've got nothing so far. Its definitely not "Luck Be A Lady". Especially if we're keeping with the speculated time period of the 1920's-1930's, as that song wasn't written until 1950. You're looking for big band (later 1930's and 1940's) and swing (1930's). Think Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw...the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nellie_lovett Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 This song personifies Big Band. The layout gives me such a great Boardwalk Empire vibe. As someone who primarily loves The Director because of the use of "You Oughta Be In Pictures" in his promos, I couldn't agree more. If they do go with that era, I would love to hear them use old big band and swing classics to at least set the mood. And as anyone who has played Bioshock knows, oldies being played on an old gramophone in a dark room is always creepy, despite how cheerful the actual song is.
