bronzey Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I emailed. Hopefully others here did too so the 22 clues (note the #) don't just end up in the hands of random facebook fans that have never heard of HNN. It'd be great to get all the Info we can. I guess this could ironically be considered "Wishful thinking"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boogeyman13 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Two of the clues so far, in addition to the pic. The foolish will not only suffer the consequences, but they will see the house for what it truly is…A horrible place where imagination and reality have combined to create a living nightmare. By day all is normal, but as the darkness of night falls, the creatures guarding this sanctuary come alive to protect this sacred place from intruders. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First sounds like our Victorian house, second sounds like the gargoyles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzrock13 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 The Walking Dead just seems like it's not enough to be the one and only center of advertising. I realize it's an interesting and popular show, and one that I myself have been getting into recently, but think about it -- in 2007 and 2009 (the two recent years with the most significant IP use) HHN had to pool three BIG horror franchises together in one ad. Is the Walking Dead better known than any of the individual New Line characters, just by themselves? It's a tv show that's only been on for two seasons. Seems like a campaign like we saw in 2004 would've been a better idea, really. On another note, I'm getting really excited for this gargoyles house. Looks similar to Winter's Night set-wise in terms of grandiosity and elaborateness. Hopefully we can get a few more scares than Winter's Night though....

Is the Walking Dead better known than any of the individual New Line characters, just by themselves? TWD isn't necessarily "better known" than other horror characters...it's popular with people who aren't familiar with HHN. They're trying to draw in a new crowd. Additionally, as we've discussed in this thread previously I think, the reason you are seeing TWD as the main marketing ploy is because it is, without a doubt, part of the contract made for Universal to borrow the rights to the show and its characters/themes/etc. I wouldn't doubt that there might be no icon for this very reason....in a way, the Marketing dept might have sold their souls (or their icon, in this case), in a manner of speaking, in order to be able to get TWD into the event. It's all about money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunnylvr Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Latest: HHN fans check your inbox, clues have been sent.

This DEFINITELY goes with the Poltergeist/Insidious kind of Victorian house we've been pondering on....very cool I like the idea of "imagination and reality" being combined...nightmares coming to life, in a way (minus Freddy, of course). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boogeyman13 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 They just posted it: Very clearly Max Shreck's Nosferatu, imo. It has to be the DE/Uni Monsters house, albeit this version isn't "technically" Dracula. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boogeyman13 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Here's our Gargoyles facade. LOL You beat me to it. Was just about to post it. It looks like this is official confirmation for the last three rumored houses then. I am INCREDIBLY curious now about the monsters house. Max Shreck's version predates Bela's onscreen presence. Dare I hope that they're going back even further to the silent era of German Expressionist film? If we see Edison's Frankenstein, Count Orlock, Der Golem, and Dr. Caligari/Cesare in this house I will totally flip out! It would certainly fit in with the DE style, as well as make some awesome minimalist sets. Don't tease me like this Universal! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Also, those 2 gargoyles on either side of the cathedral are the ones from the front of Grown Evil last year and the same one's from the original Universal arch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
