Especially the last three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevler Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 (edited) I am talking about the black light paint though. The stage in question looks like its lit with blacklight (You are supposed to be in a black velvet painting). Im also a sucker for blacklights. My dad always used them heavily to decorate, and so do I. To me, blacklight is halloween! Edited September 20, 2011 by Trevler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onca Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Because I kinda derailed it talking about how I didn't like the whole glow in the dark florescent concept of Dia De Los Muertos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevler Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Yeah, we were discussing art direction in Dia, which I said reminded me of the stage 'Black Velvetopia from the game Psychonauts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onca Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 ^ I knew that the front of house was designed too closely to a human face! That article just confirms that thought now! Wow, two maze facades that look like faces of their title person, and it's both on the original mazes. That's a little funny. And after reading the article, at least I know the playlist to put together to get myself ready now. I'm liking this, sounds pretty cool. Can't wait.

DTH316 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Allow me to the be the voice of negativity again. With every single freakin thing in the maze having the stupid Alice Cooper eye make up, down to the dolls, this is really going to annoy me in person more than it is already.

Onca Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Then it tells a lot more about Alice Cooper than we'd ever know, either he's totally in love with his stage persona or he's just completely full of himself, or he's 'afraid' of himself. But I kinda expected it, with every scareactor design looking like Alice (except for the Nurse, Human Stew, and Sick Things) chances were that it was gonna spread to the props too. Are you that surprised about that revelation, DTH? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTH316 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Yes. I had no idea narcissism grew to those bounds. I was enlightened. And I still haven't even actually gone through to see the rest of the Alice Cooper eye make up on every freakin prop, set design or character in a room. Gosh, such overkill.

Onca Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I think a warning sign was the facade itself, where even the windows look like they have Cooper's eye makeup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iLuvStabWounds Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I was never a fan of the Alice Cooper maze... but after reading this article on Fearnet, I have to say that I'm excited for this maze!!! My link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Murder Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Wow!! After reading the LA Times walkthrough I am incredibly pumped for this maze! It sounds absolutely amazing. I have no idea how anyone could be anything but stoked on this concept and the way it seems to be playing out. It's gory, clever, disturbing but with moments of humor and seems to perfectly capture the spirit of Alice's stage theatrics. I simply cannot wait for saturday when I'll get to experience it all first hand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevler Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Right. Because Alice Cooper totally designed the maze and its not a huge love letter written by a fanboy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Murder Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Right. Because Alice Cooper totally designed the maze and its not a huge love letter written by a fanboy. Haha. I am slightly confused by your post Trev. I detect a hint of sarcasm but I think it is being directed at the previous posters who seem to think that theming the maze heavily to the "character" it's based around is somehow narcissistic. Obviously this maze is a fanboy's love letter but that doesn't by any means discount it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTH316 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 ^ I'm sure Alice had his input! AC: Make it scary. JM: Right, right. AC: Like, really scary. JM: That's what we do. AC: I'm trying to promote a new album with this. JM: Got it. AC: I want my image present at all times. JM: So you want it to have iconic images that represent you? AC: Yeah, you know that eye make up I wear? JM: Ofcourse. AC: Let's just put that - - on fuckin everything. I think people think it's scary. JM: It's terrifying, Mr. Cooper. AC: So the more of that, the better. JM: Right, right. AC: And when I say everything, I mean everything. I want the monsters to all be representative of me. JM: So like an Alice Cooper maze like how we have a Jason or Freddy maze? AC: Yes, just with different versions of me. And then the eye make up on everything else. JM: You got it. AC: So you heard the new album right? You gonna incorporate it into the maze? JM: Yup, got it all mapped out, people will love it. AC: Good... because I'm a scary guy and the eye make up sells it with my image, with the music playing, it'll be a good cross promotion. JM: That's what we're aiming for. AC: Other than that, go nuts. JM: Will do! Yippee!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onca Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 It makes it seem like a cute tribute to a big kid's hero in a horror setting. I'm in no way saying the maze is gonna blow or lose my immersion in it because everything looks like Alice, I understand that it's his brand, his characters, his music. I'm still staying quite positive about it as a whole, as is my personal policy until I can actually see it for myself with proper lighting and with the scareactors working their best. I can see it as.. a music video that we're in for it that's a medley of a good number of his songs, in that angle, that makes sense. I was listening to the tracks indicated in the article in the order of the scenes, and I see a nice flow to everything, and it all makes sense in that particular order. Although, the tweet from last night on that one guy's Twitter saying that there was a technical difficulty just makes me a little nervous if some scenes can still stand. I know it's practically the dress rehearsal for the mazes on preview night, so everything wouldn't work 100% perfect the first time.. but I'm just hoping that there's not a lot of downtime for this maze later in the event or even on opening night because of 'technical difficulties'. I know what I said last night, and I'm not trying to go back and said I never said that, different moods and different things to say for a different time of day. Plus it's fun to poke at DTH to see what things he'll say next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Satan Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNZLaydQUJE It's called "Hostel maze" but it's WTMN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTH316 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I only watched the first minute. It starts off with a body room? Interesting. Looks a lot better than I thought it would be - - still in the vein of what I was thinking with a bit of hokiness though. Kinda looks like a really good Knotts maze.
