Dark Legions: Traditionals


Mark M.

Recommended Posts

I'm very curious to see this whole zone in its complete glory...I think this is going to appeal to all of us who really dig that traditional Halloween vibe.

I know right? Come on...with the budget Universal has, the Dollar Store is the mecca of decor stores.

Rats, fine with 'em. Snakes, fine with 'em. Hell, even spiders, yes, fine with 'em. But if you put silverfish in a maze, I would go freaking bat shit crazy.

Dude, relax. This event is a fun thing, and not something anyone should take so seriously. It sounds like you and I are arguing for the same point, so let's just leave it at that, lighten up a bit, and enjoy the rest of the pre-show!

Very cool!

Maybe instead of a circus tent over the whole park, they can put spider webs over the whole park. And a paper skeleton in every window! And don't get me started on silverfish. They will have to escort me out for trying to smash every last one of their "props." :)

Don't say that or the next rumor we hear will be "Did you hear there is going to be a freaking huge spider web over the entire park? I hear they are buying it at the Dollar Store!"

If they ever had a house called "Silverfish" I wouldn't be able to even step foot inside it. I can handle every bug and creepy crawly out there, but those things. You kill them and they disintegrate...WTF is up with that?!!

why do you guys hate Silverfish so much? what's wrong with them?

they look like prehistoric little bugs, I only saw some once when I got a book from a store, they were inside,

but why do you guys hate them so much? what's wrong with them? are they dangerous?

I don't know if I can explain it, other than they make my skin crawl. And they're fast.

If you squoosh a bug, there should be evidence that it is dead...like a corpse. When you kill a silverfish, they disintegrate like they never existed. That is a huge creep factor for me and like Ryan said, their fast and they give me the heebie jeebies.

I can deal with all other bugs but silverfish...those things are just nasty.

lol, I would think roaches are much more disgusting, they actually carry dirt and nastiness around, and can make you sick, plus they look disgusting,

I am not defending Silverfish because I don't really see them, but they seem to be easy to kill and they don't bite or anything,

Spiders, like Brown Recluse Spider or Wolf Spider, (which we get in my house) those, Now Those are Nightmare creatures, they are faster than roaches, they are Big, they move like Facehuggers from Alien, and they bite, and if you are allergic they could kill you, your skin rots or something, some injuries the skin of the person looked like Jello... anyways, those, are really scary, if they made a house with those I would not go in it lol.

maybe is because I don't deal with Silverfish that I don't mind them,

why are they call that anyway ?

Don't get me started on spiders. I'm fine with the concept of them, and viewing them from afar. But get me near one, and I go on a mission to get it before it gets me. I blame Arachnophobia (the movie).

I wonder if and how many recycled costumes we'll see for this legion, since they kind of encompass just your average bump in the night thing? Wasn't there some earlier talk about costumes being tailor made to the individual? I wonder if that was just for specific things, or park wide. Or, will we actually be getting staples of Halloween, and characters that are directly influenced by the traditions and iconography of the holiday?

I just enjoyed how this went from YEAH! LOVE THIS CONCEPT to silver fish. I feel like I want a costume like this so I can terrify the entire park single handed. Muhahaha

I love the traditional Halloween trick or treater concept...but you put someone in a silver fish costume, THAT would be more terrifying to me than anything I've ever seen at HHN. Blech, I just hate those damn things.

Fortunately, bugs of no type qualify as "traditionals"...so we're safe.

I don't what it is about these simple masks that is so.. disconcerting to me.

IDK maybe I'll have to buy this bunny mask :)

It would be cool, just as a inside joke, To have someone with one of the little meaty's meats mask on.

I am definitely buying this, to put on my wall, I just need to find it first

I was eating outside of Mel's last night.

Plenty of interaction with Traditionals. At one point one of the actors with a bell came up to me and rang her bell, stuck out her hand and pointed at an unused ketchup packet at my table. I gave it to her and she took it to the table next to us and set it on someones tray.

so maybe they'd do the same with candy?

I mentioned it in the Scareactor Appreciation thread, but everyone in this zone is awesome. Their interaction was completely unexpected, but really entertaining. Some examples include:

- Pumpkinhead sitting down next to a guest and talking to her in character

- The trick-or-treater in the fox mask squeaking her horn in another trick or treaters mask ear.

- Pumpkinhead "scaring" the same trick-or-treater and her acting scared and running away

Not only that, but they managed to mix some good scares in with the entertainment. A way better legion than I expected.

Note to self: bring candy to event ;)

Haha ;) It was nice seeing you last night!

You bring the candy, Kathy - I'll bring the marzipan! I love the fox-masked traditional! So far, he is my favorite scareactor of the year. Who are you?

This was my most anticipated legion, but unfortunately, I can never find you. :( One day, I will follow you guys around to see the amazingness that I know you deliver! I have had only two interactions with this group (both with the fox-masked trick-or-treater) and some of my favorite memories thus far have come from this legion. I am most looking forward to interacting with you all!

I'm sure it'll change throughout the event, but I caught them a lot yesterday in the streets ranging from World Expo to Hollywood. They were constantly down that area.

I'm the ballerina with the kitty mask and weird twitch. :) The girl with the fox mask is hilarious! I'm glad you all are enjoying our legion so far, we're having a blast playing out there. :)

Just wanted to let you know that you were awesome last night and one of the fun ones to watch mess with people in your legion. I tried to tell you that last night when you did your whole twitch routine towards me, but I wanted to make sure you knew. :)
