Freak Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 BTW guys, since Hostel is pretty much confirmed, I created a new thread that focuses solely on that. If we could move the Hostel discussion over there, that would be great. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tmrw Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 (edited) So now we have 2 out of 6 different types of horror Creature horror Extreme Gore horror Think of the others said to come Also we all were right about Elis coming and 3 Dogs Night I can also proudly say I'm Officially a Scareactor for HHN 2011 Confirmation email came today so I'll be scaring the crap out of everyone this year(: Edited July 27, 2011 by StevenForTmrw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Hmmm... I would guess classic horror (Wolfman), Slasher (Scream), and comedy horror (Army of Darkness in HoH). That's what I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jymmymack Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 (edited) The only thing I doubt is Wolfman. Isn't Uni trying to distance themselves from Joe Johnston's version? They are fast-tracking another remake as we speak. Edited July 27, 2011 by jymmymack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTH316 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I think Hostel falls into the "torture porn horror" category instead of extreme gore. It's what it is, so it should be labeled that way and it has a negative connotation to it but yeah, it's for a reason (because the genre SUCKS lmao) And Steven, can ya elaborate on what you'll be doing this year? Maze or scarezone? Unnannounced maze? And if it's a scarezone, which section of the park? 2 for 2, you guys. Soon to be 3 for 3. Bleh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't House of 1000 Corpses fall under (Slasher) ? Or would that be considered (Exploitation) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jymmymack Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 So, what's next? Think they'll bust out the HOTC to keep us waiting even more for the ones we really are up in the air about? I wouldn't put it past Murdy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Cleaver Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I could see releasing HOTC next; we've gotten two brand-humping new mazes already, and since HOTC was a (reported) success, I think it would very likely to be next. Here's how I see it: first a new one, then another new one, then last year's favorite, and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTH316 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I'd rather hear about the HOH first before HOTC. I'm really hoping it's last. Actually, right now, I'm REALLY interested in the TT. The TT is Universal's main attraction so I would figure they'd try to hype that up as soon as possible. And you know what, now thinking about it, the first PRs were always the most hyped things at the event. 2009 - Saw & Halloween 2010 - HOTC If The Thing and Hostel are supposed to be the biggest things coming this year, I'm kinda concerned. As awesome as The Thing is, it's based on the prequel but if the original film is any indication, it'll make for an awesome maze. And Hostel is just a dud in my eyes, flat in the water. But there are 6 mazes this year so maybe it'll be three major hyped events. Oh God, I hope so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grindhousehero13 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Wouldn't House of 1000 Corpses fall under (Slasher) ? Or would that be considered (Exploitation) I wouldnt say slasher so much mayb a sub genera of slasher IDK I think theres a word for it, movies like the hills have eyes, wrong turn, house of wax, like that but I cant think of it. I could see releasing HOTC next; we've gotten two brand-humping new mazes already, and since HOTC was a (reported) success, I think it would very likely to be next.

I can see it. The BIG new ones, last year's BIG one(s), and the smaller new ones. I'm no business man, but it sounds about right in terms of publicity.

DTH316 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 With that said, I think it's pretty official that Scream isn't coming this year since that is the BIGGEST slasher of all time. I really don't know why they dropped the ball on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't know why they dropped the ball on this one. Imma let you finnish, but Jason is the biggest slasher of all time! That was pathetic, I know. Shut up. Now, I'm not a huge Scream fan (only saw the first), but I'm not sure I really would've cared for a Scream house. Can't say I really know too many people who have seen it, let alone are huge fans. Ghostface himself is very recognizable, but not many seem able to connect him with Scream; some who can can't connect Scream with the film's story at all. But if it was coming, I would indeed expect it as one of the first announced. Edited July 27, 2011 by Mr. Cleaver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't know why they dropped the ball on this one. Perhaps Murdy/Uni were waiting for the numbers to come back on Scream 4 before investing. As it stands right now, Scream 4 is 20th on the all-time slasher list, just ahead of Urban Legend (and that's without factoring in inflation, yikes.) I actually enjoyed Scream 4 and thought it was a VAST improvement on 3, but man, looks like nobody even bothered to turn out. Mr. Cleaver, I think DTH was talking about box office. Scream 1, 2, 3 are the top three slashers of all time, by a lot. Edited July 27, 2011 by jymmymack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Cleaver Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Yeah, I know. It was a joke that fell on it's face. I'm almost wondering if my local dempgraphic is really that different than LA; in terms of slashers, most around here only know the 'Big 4' (JV, LF, FK, MM). I honestly didn't know Scream made that much. I don't think any one in CO would make a scream house, with the exception of using Ghostface himself somewhere in a different house.

DTH316 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 (edited) Possible big news for this year's event from the Hostel PR: "Eli Roth is the first star to be announced as a collaborator in this year's Halloween Horror Nights event and will be a key member of a Hollywood horror "dream team" assembled by Universal Studios Hollywood to create the ultimate "live" Halloween nightmare." A dream team? Meaning there's MORE celebrity tie-ins to come? Is this possibly why Hostel wasn't named "Eli Roth's Hostel" because mostly ALL of the mazes will have someone attached to it? Who else is coming? Wes Craven? John Carpenter? Tobe Hooper? Sam Raimi? I hope it's not just Rob Zombie for the HOTC redo because that'd be disappointing.

the ghost Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) On twitter Murdy said While you ponder that I have to go order some artificial trees for a maze that hasn't been released yet...be back soon. I am down to either Wolfman or Evil Dead... although something in my heart of hearts says Evil Dead! Edited July 28, 2011 by the ghost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTH316 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Please be Evil Dead... that'll redeem Hostel TEN times over. And with The Thing already in place, that'll have us on track to a VERY solid year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 You know, the hints could tie-in with both Evil Dead and Army of Darkness OR Wolfman. Sounds like he's going to announce Soap Opera which will make me VERY happy. I've been wanting to know that maze for a while. It sounds like he's going to announce Steven last. As for the debate on whether Scream would be announced first, maybe Murdy is wanting to save the "headmaster" maze for "The final act". Just sayin'.
