Grindhousehero13 Posted September 13, 2013 Author Share Posted September 13, 2013 What made Asylum/BIB not disturbing and Hostel/Thing/LL not morbid? not saying that they were'nt just that they excelled in that area in my opion. wait it's the otherway around my bad BIB and Asylum was more disturbing and Hostel, Thing, and La Llorona, were more morbid it fits in my head I wish I can explain it better lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferox Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 If you can't put it into words that's fine, I was just interested. This year has a lot of pretty dark themes, but I think El Cucuy tops the list. Which isn't easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grindhousehero13 Posted September 13, 2013 Author Share Posted September 13, 2013 yeah got that eccentric Doc Brown mind lol Let me start over from scratch haha well it's like the Thing had that sense of Hopelessness on the same level that John Carpenter pulled off with the original like seing the suicide scene and just everbody being assimulated gave you that feeling of dred. Hostel had the whole "Wow that f*cked up" vibe you know the PILE of dead mutilated bodies and people getting tortured ect. espeacialy how in that maze we were not the victums we were the clients. So gave of the sense of "Why did I agree to this! this isnt right" La Llorona although the drowned kids part was kinda morbid it did'nt reflect the whole maze, you walked into this villiage that is basicly cursed and you see people mourning children. they basicly were disturbing in the fact that you get the vibe of "This is'nt right" and a feeling of dred. if that makes sense lol but yeah Im digging how more and more dark this maze ends up as it goes on cant wait for the BTS for this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTH316 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Murdy just posted 2 pictures. One of the collection (AMAZING SET) and one of a throat slashed jack o lantern (very gruesome looking). Very good contender for maze of the year here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freak Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Theme Park Insider posted a sneak peak at the house (Minor spoilers): http://www.themeparkinsider.com/flume/201309/3657/ The maze is going to have a narrative. Here's what the article says: Your path through the maze follows the journey of a young boy and starts with him and his uncle attending a luchador horror film. Yes, a luchador horror film is a part of a genre of Mexican films that pits a famous Mexican wrestler against an evil being. The genre was most popular during the sixties and seventies and has to be experienced to be believed. If you're a horror fan, I highly recommend searching out one of these films. This story will be narrated to guests in line outside the maze by actor Danny Trejo. Murdy said he envisioned Trejo's unique voice while writing the narration for the maze and Trejo was willing to come on board. Trejo's voice will also be heard as the narrator (and the voice of El Cucuy) inside of the maze. Guests will enter the movie theater where something horrible has happened; namely, everyone in the theater is dead and El Cucuy, a shapeshifter, is on the prowl. You journey through the theater to the boy's home and eventually in to the layer of El Cucuy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grindhousehero13 Posted September 13, 2013 Author Share Posted September 13, 2013 the birthday scene looks so disturbing and thats just in the daytime! I love that there is a story to it cant wait. Just a bummer on how short they are making it seem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeenagerFromMars Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 This maze just looks amazing. The trophy room and birthday scene looks disturbing, the pumpkin prisoner is awesome, and the island of dolls scene looks creepy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferox Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 I think they are (purposefully) keeping a few rooms secret. Good call. What I've allowed myself to see so far is...well I'm pretty sure that this is going to be the house of the year. Even with very stiff competition from the other mazes.

Mr.HHN Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 I saw the YouTube vid. It didn't show much and what was shown was very unclear to me. From that little bit I can tell you this will be a grotesque bloodbath! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferox Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 What I really like about this is that so many of these locations/scenes don't get seen in haunts often. Using them in a haunt seems so...wrong. It's like the maze crossed a boundary by being there. It's transgressive in a very real sense. Goosebumps. Serious goosebumps here.

Freak Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 C'mon! Don't tempt me with spoilers! We're less than a week from the event! So it turns out that I was wrong. There will be a facade for the theater as it is going up right now (I'm relieved to see this). I am loving how it fits seemlessly with the surroundings which makes up for the loss of the Shrek queue. The reason why I loved the Shrek queue houses was because the walls made the facade look more exclusive and hid the "show area" of the house (i.e. the tent/house walls). The surrounding building and the natural fitting of the facade more than makes up for that. Again, I've only seen the two pictures that were posted of the house, but if this is better than La Llorona, I will be most happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTH316 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Better than La Llorona would make this one of the best HHN mazes of all time. Only TCM: BIB and Halloween top that. I'm sure it'll be good, maybe even maze of the year, but I'm not placing the expectation that high Then again, it may be time. Every two years, another major classic comes along. 07 - TCM: BIB. 09 - Halloween. 11 - La Llorona. 13 - ??? *crosses fingers* Please be Evil Dead, please be Evil Dead!

Ridesandstuff Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I'm gunna go ahead and guess that the movie theatre scene will be pretty similar to LL's church scene in terms of the way it's set up. Dead guests everywhere (one or two scareactors) and usher el Cucuy coming from the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferox Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I could see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferox Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 I just thought of something. La Llorona is a sympathetic monster. Doomed to forever walk the Earth in her sorrows, always desperately searching for her children. Despite her horrible crimes, she is to be forever tormented. By contrast, this version of El Cucuy is, as Dr. Loomis would say, purely and simply evil. He collects mementos to remember his crimes by. He the emotional pain his crimes cause. Murdy even describes some elements of his crimes as a fetish. Where La Llorona is motivated by her despair and confusion, El Cucuy is motivated by sadistic glee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grindhousehero13 Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 I think you're right, which is why El Cucuy is a much more Morbid character than La Llorona where La Llorona was more of a dark character and its kinda compairable to Freddy and Jason in a way, A monster born of tragedy and a monster born of sadisim.

horror lover Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 I just want to add that for some reason, I see this maze taking place in the same Mexican village that La Llorona did, but we are now in the present... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
