Ridesandstuff Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 What hoh overlay do you guys think was the best and why. What theme would you guys like to see in the House of horrors.I think the best one was Vampyre.it was able to make every room fit encluding the chucky and mummy room.

Freak Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Just an FYI, any wishful thinking done for what overlay one would like to see for HoH should go in the wishful thinking thread. That would be very much appreciated. I liked Wolfman the best since 1) It's Wolfman! 2) I feel like it's the most fitting overlay for the House of Horrors and 3) I thought they made some solid additions to it.

Hauntfan Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 ^They even changed the Spinning Tunnel which I thought was neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HHNZone Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 oh yeh doesnt the tunnel now show just wolfman designs or something? or has it always been like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTH316 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 They did not change the tunnel! It's always been Wolfman themed. Anywho, my vote goes for Vampyre. It had an elaborate back story (an entire comic book!) and it actually fit with every single room in the maze. All the scareactors fit (I had no idea why a lot of the people in Wolfman were there or what they even were) and it didn't try to pass itself off as something it wasn't too much. Chucky was a great one too, with the addition of an insulting Chucky both in the line and IN the maze near the exit. Also, I believe they added an entire scene for that one with a person's head in a vice being turned into a toy near the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iLuvStabWounds Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 ^For the same reasons as above, my vote goes to Vampyre and Chucky. Vampyre had the the best theme, and better flowed with the overall environment of the HoH, albeit the infamous Chucky room. Chucky's Funhouse, though it still felt like the HoH, utilized enough scenery and theme that it did a pretty good job on its own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsylumSB Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Although I had fun in Wolfman and enjoyed the details of the HOH more than ever, Vampyre gets my vote. That overlay had consistent scares and the scareactors had an ominous presence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hauntfan Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Are you sure they didn't change the tunnel, but before I could swear that they were other designs on the tunnel besides Wolfman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridesandstuff Posted November 23, 2011 Author Share Posted November 23, 2011 ^ yea...it was always the wolfman in the tunnel.there are others designs on it.theres like a yellow pentagram or some symbol and a wolfman face , but thats all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTH316 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I believe the tunnel is supposed to represent the moment he's cursed to become a wolf. I could be wrong though haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombieman Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Can't answer this survey. Every "overlay" has basically consisted of a $25 vinyl sign covering the HoH logo, with little to nothing changed inside. They have all looked the same to me.

electro_killer Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I think youre forgetting that House of Horrors itself is/was an overlay, prior to that it was Van Helsing: Fortress of Dracula. Not to mention prior to that it was the Mummys Tomb. So my vote would have to be HoH. Everything after that seemed lackluster. I'm sure someone is going to defend HoH and the fact that they cant do anything with it due to day time guests blah blah blah. But it still needs to be revamped. How long has it been Van Helsing/HoH?! Mummy didn't last long, its time for a MAJOR makeover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTH316 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 ^ Yeah, my question is why haven't they replaced the damn thing yet? Seems like they're keeping it around exclusively for HHN or something since every year prior to the hiatus, that maze would change every 2 years or less. Chicken Run, The Grinch, The Mummy, Van Helsing and then suddenly it just stopped. HoH, why you no change no mo when we need you to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main reason it's not changed anymore is because they've finally found an appropriate theme that suits Universal without having to change it so much. Think of how much money it saves Uni not having to switch it out for another film that will eventually become old hat. It would be nice to see a couple of rooms updated/replaced though.

00nightcrawler Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I voted for meets the strangers. Call me crazy, but every overlay has disappointed me (though I never saw chucky) I liked The Strangers movie, back then the House of Horrors was somewhat fresh. I would order it as meets the strangers, vampyre, wolfman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electro_killer Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I see your point Freak, HoH is VERY fitting for Uni since their claim to fame is Horror; and it works during the other 11 months of the year. But for the price I pay for tickets, I want HoH different during HHN. And whoa it used to be Chicken Run & The Grinch??!! Are there videos or photos, I'd love to see it.

DTH316 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I'm sure there's photos of when it was the Grinch somewhere. It was when they did the very first Grinchmas and the maze was littered with all sorts of props and sets from the movie. It was like literally walking into the Grinch's lair. Then at the end, you get a photo op with The Grinch. It was AWESOME. However, I personally never got to see Chicken Run and I think it had a VERY limited run, so I'm willing to bet that's more rare. I'll give it a google search maybe later tonight when I get home and see what I can find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
