kingundisputed_ Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I had a whole review written and it got eaten. Bummer. Anyway, this was my first maze of the night and I'm happy to report that it's awesome. The facade is unassuming and unimpressive, but that's okay. The birthday massacre scene is gorgeous and gorey and wonderful, as is the trophy room Murdy mentioned on Twitter. There are a couple of scenes that aren't covered by the tent, so it's better to go through when the sun is completely down. Otherwise, the effects are a little ruined. A big point of confusion is the line. The entrance is next to the Purge/fire towers, but it's rather small and I saw a lot of people get lost looking for it. Overall: 7/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thanat0s Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 (edited) I just want to go on record and say the pumpkin smell in here is amazing. It smells like pumpkin pie in the oven! Edited September 21, 2013 by thanat0s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frh777 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Does anyone know if the El Cucuy final front (the animatronic thing), was scrapped from the maze? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentOfChaos93 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Does anyone know if the El Cucuy final front (the animatronic thing), was scrapped from the maze? Was wondering the same thing. Didnt see that either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTH316 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I was wondering that myself. The maze seemed to have ended abruptly, so maybe there was no room for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zacheejee Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 From the looks of it, the ending puppet thing was replaced (temp. hopefully) with a scareactor. Check out 4:33 in the video. Lol, also it looks like the person went in during a scareactor shift, the house looked empty and actors are just walking around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frh777 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 So you think that it might come back up sometime during the event? I tweeted John but he hasn't replied yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZackT Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 (edited) There are no changes to the maze in terms of the ending -- the final scare, the hole in the wall, is manned by a scareactor with a trigger.

frh777 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I think there might be a chance that John will replace it with the cool puppet thing. There are no changes to the maze in terms of the ending -- the final scare, the hole in the wall, is manned by a scareactor with a trigger. Do you know why it was removed?

ZackT Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Do you know why it was removed? To be honest, I never even realized it was supposed to be animatronic. We don't have anyone cast to operate it. It's possible the concept art is just confusing, because that technically is the scare (Cucuy popping out of the den).

Ridesandstuff Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 They could always make a costume that looks like what the animatronic was supposed to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grindhousehero13 Posted September 25, 2013 Author Share Posted September 25, 2013 ZackT in memorial to the Final Form El Cucy you should scare people yelling "Bro, This Even My Final Form!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTH316 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 This maze neeeeeeeeds a good final scare. I mean cmooooon. Its almost like they did it backwards with LL. Cucuy would be the one id imagine turning into a giant demon from hell chomping on kids, not the other way around. It'd be repetitive, but that was a giant creature, and I would understand cost saving in that sense. They should totally put it on the side of a building for a scarezone :-P There's a part in this post that looks like I said LL Cucuy. New rap naaaaame!

frh777 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 (edited) Murdy said on Twitter that he chose to fund the effects for evil dead instead of el Cucuy but those effects seem kind of bad. Edited September 25, 2013 by frh777 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTH316 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I agree. Especially tree rape Mia. No resemblance to a human being at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arsik_22 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I agree. Especially tree rape Mia. No resemblance to a human being at all. Also when I tweeted him about that and why we didn't even get a real actress in the cellar , he said it wasn't possible due to the concrete floor. Wasn't Orlando's maze in a soundstage location where they shouldn't have been able to do that but still did? Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grindhousehero13 Posted September 25, 2013 Author Share Posted September 25, 2013 well to defend Murdy a bit this is what it seemed like to me from the Videos (so those of you who were there correct me if im wrong) the gliding Mia kinda looked like she was'nt fuctioning properly since she more poped out than glided it kinda looked like she got stuck going back in for a minute on one of sharp's videos. that being said though Vomting Mia should of been an actor I mean we have had vomiting characters before and they have always been actors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurseddragon Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Welp, this has gone off topic. But to make matters worse, if the animatronics aren't even functioning properly, then don't make a maze primarily out of them? Honestly, how hard would it be to remove the animatronic from the vomit scene, put someone real in there, and make them do the same thing. There's really no scenery in it, so you wouldn't lose anything... except money. Back on topic. I liked El Cucuy. Just saying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Jeffula Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 If this maze returns next year i hope they work on it alot more....it does have potential......i think the movie theatre set will be used next year for American Werewolf in London (if it does make it over to hollywood) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zacheejee Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 that being said though Vomting Mia should of been an actor I mean we have had vomiting characters before and they have always been actors But if they replaced vomiting Mia with a person, how would they "vomit" on the guests?! I think it's a pretty neat effect. Back to topic, TBH, El Cucuy would be SO much better if it had more scareactors. The house is great, but there was just a lack of scareactors in my opinion :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTH316 Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 A hose connected to the side of an actor's mouth. It isn't hard at all. They do it in movies for every throw up scene (unless the actor is weird and decides to actually throw up or just spit up). And its not like hoses get hot, so long exposure shouldn't be a problem either. Also remember, its only for 30 mins at a time, then switch. But yeah, sorry, OT, Cucuy's main faults are its lack of an ending and scarce actors AND boo-holes. Half of it seems like it was designed to be a Knotts maze by just placing actors in areas and letting them scare. Which isn't a bad thing, but at least populate the maze if that's the case.
