Mr.Grim Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) Not to beat a Dead Horse bc Ive said it before. Im guessing Walking Dead. Even if there were difficulties with licensures, both companies would be stupid not to come to an agreement on the deal. All the naturally occuring hypes this year will feed publicity, with the 2012, end of the world, Zombie Apocolypse etc etc that peoples keep talking about....it would just be smart for everyone. Both sides would benefit, especially since the fan base for both are in full swing. The house is a done deal, we have seen it with our own eyes. Its just a matter of name use. I also believe we are getting an Apocolyptic theme this year. Im just hoping that they have a cool Icon like DEATH or MY favorite GRIM REAPER, or Death and Destruction or the Four Horseman of the Apocolypse. With the 100 year celebration for Uni Im expecting some amazing innovative things this year. Woohoooo!!!!.....Sorry.....Ill calm down...lol Edited July 18, 2012 by Mr.Grim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ely Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Do you guys really think they'de just reveal a generic zombie house this early? If its being revealed today I would think its an IP house right? That's my point exactly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) Don't expect an over-arching theme. I'm not saying it won't happen, it's just that signs are pointing to it not happening. It would be better to lower your expectations for this year and be surprised then get giddy over nothing and end up disappointed. EDIT - And nothing is implying "Death" as an icon. That's just wishful thinking all around. Edited July 18, 2012 by Legacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny_p Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Well it's OFFCIAL legit in all. The Walking Dead is coming to both orlando & Hollywood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karras Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I'm excited to see how flawless The Walking Dead zombie make-up will be in person. I hope it's a somewhat lengthy house (for Disaster queue). So is it safe to say this year’s theme will be mostly a post-apocalyptic theme? Maybe the teaser site this year will be a time bomb slowly counting down to opening day (the apocalypse) with each update being clues on how to traverse the wasteland. If HHN is going with an apocalypse theme this year, I wonder if the Penn &Teller house could be a dark comedy satire of end-of-the-world scenarios and conspiracy theories? P&T have been poking fun at this kind of stuff for years. Could be pretty entertaining... There is no Penn & Teller house. It was just a lame rumor that is still floating around for some reason.

Next you're going to say that P&T don't have history with HHN... specifically not in 1992 at HHN Hollywood with a show called "The Bad Boys of Magic"...

Troiandan Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) where is that confirmed p&t debunked? dr jimmy put all his faith into that rumor I've actually been quite pleased with what all the houses have appeared to be thus far, including Penn & Teller. My primary concern was the potential of crowd flow problems if the house and scarezone count went down, as well as concern that there wouldn't be any other value-add if that were to happen. I must say that, thus far, Uni has come a long way to allay those concerns (especially with the "dark, darken, darker" and "face to face" hints that seem to be cropping up). I guess I'd like to hear a bit more info before totally discounting a Penn and Teller house; it has seemed to be a pretty strong likelihood from several sources at this stage. Terribly pleased with the reveals so far... PLEASE let them have seriously upped the number of actors this year - I keep feeling like they might have. ETA: I want herds.

No. Maybe the teaser site this year will be a time bomb slowly counting down to opening day (the apocalypse) with each update being clues on how to traverse the wasteland. They've revealed two houses, had a static splash up for two months, shown concept art for an upcoming house and you're still expecting a teaser site? I know everyone wants that "over-arching theme," but it isn't happening. Why can't people just appreciate what they're getting? There is no Penn & Teller house. It was just a lame rumor that is still floating around for some reason. Me thinks you doth protest too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumpkin Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 If there's any truth to Alice Cooper coming to Orlando, my guess is that it'll be the next house reveal. I think they'll hold off on Penn & Teller, especially if they really are going to be the primary focus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry but a person claiming to have ‘sources’ isn’t enough for me. Plus there's a great difference between a P&T show and a house. One making sense and the other the dumbest idea I've heard happening to HHN since the tent over IOA. No. They've revealed two houses, had a static splash up for two months, shown concept art for an upcoming house and you're still expecting a teaser site?

alone Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) I hope it's an apocalyptic theme. It can work. I don't like Silent Hill and The Walking Dead - cash grabs and not creative. The design was created already through the series'. I would love to see scare zones that are right outside of the house entrances with a nice transition between the two. For example, a snowy/fog ridden zone for Silent Hill, then zombies that are on the other side of the fog. Edited July 18, 2012 by alone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goo Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I have to agree with Legacy. I feel like they would have given us the teaser site already giving us the theme if there was one. That's how it was for Reflections of Fear, Ripped from the Silver Screen, and Fear... Hell that's how it's basically always been. This year just isn't going in that direction. I'm not saying it couldn't happen, but with everything we've gotten so far it's safe to say that we wont be getting the over arching theme.

One making sense and the other the dumbest idea I've heard happening to HHN Oh so its a dumb idea for someone of celebrity status to come in and create an original house? Hmmm... funny. It has worked for Hollywood since 1998. Clive Barker (1998, 1999, 2000), Rob Zombie (1999, 2000), WWF's The Undertaker (2000), Alice Cooper (2011). Oddly enough, you have no idea how good or bad a house would be if Penn & Teller (or anyone else for that matter) were to create it. Just because you don't like the idea of it happening, doesn't mean it isnt true. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.luck Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 well based off acid assault and the thing and winters night they will most likely do the ash falling from the sky, which im excited for, and im excited to see how they wil be doing the fog, that will be scary as hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been to the West Coast event, but I always assume, year after year, that Rob Zombie will have a maze out there. Maybe this is a trial run for P&T to become Orlando's staple celebrity guest, like Zombie has been for Hollywood? I wouldn't say the two are directly comparable, but to me it's still a possibility. We’ll just have to wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legacy Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 What has the Undertaker done for horror? Honestly. Let's take this further though: What has Arbor Day and Easter done for Horror before HHN? What has Bill and Ted done for horror? They're a staple. You're automatically assuming that just because someone doesn't do horror they can't do horror. And that is the wrong way to look at it. Anything can become scary done right. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are Penn & Teller's contributions to the horror genre? You really have no clue what you're talking about, do you? They're famous for being magicians with a "psychotic twist" who specialize in gory tricks. "Many of their effects rely heavily on shock appeal and violence, although presented in a humorous manner." Teller is debuting a horror film. They're in the very least, far more significant to the genre than the Undertaker from the WWE... Either way, I don't see why they really 't need a specific tie to the genre. They're extremely creative minds who can add some very unique effects and factors to this year's event.
