Kurseddragon Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I really hope we don't get Walking Dead. Just hearing it sounds so boring. I'm biased since I don't even like the show, but seriously. Repeating things has never been a way to get attention. Especially not in a row. Make it a scarezone, maybe, at max. I didn't want it in the first place, but I knew it was inevitable. I was unsatisfied with the repeat, but I'll be just plain disgusted if it's here again. Just my opinion. Also my opinion, it hasn't brought us anything that stood out above the rest. Idk if it was highest rated by fans these past years. But in terms of actual quality (things hardcore fans like us recognize), neither maze nor terror tram have been spectacular. There's no need for another... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grindhousehero13 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Just my opinion. Also my opinion, it hasn't brought us anything that stood out above the rest. Idk if it was highest rated by fans these past years. But in terms of actual quality (things hardcore fans like us recognize), neither maze nor terror tram have been spectacular. There's no need for another... There is something it brought that stands out from the other properties....MONEY and the fact that it brings around 20 something hours of new material each year while even SAW was only able to muster up a 1-2 hour movie worth. But I can understand your opinion since you are one of the very VERY few people who don't like TWD. But you do gotta understand the 2 points I just made that does justify a 3rd not saying that there is a need for it but there was never a need for any of the properties Murdy has done since 2007 we could of gone this whole time without them. The mazes has been pretty damn good and most people on here the hardcore fans are accepting the idea of a 3rd year despite being mostly against repeats. The Terror Tram I agree, zombies on the back lot has grown stale in general. Both were not Spectacular but they were not as bad as Chucky's or Scream4Your.

Dr. John Overwatch Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I don't actually read this section, because, well... I can't go to your area just for hhn. But, since it appears some believe that your twitter and our event are somehow connected, I figured I'd put this nail in the coffin for you folks so you don't have to waste your time. Murdy has said, repeatedly, that Alien would be too expensive. " For example Alien meets everything but the environments\characters would be extremely difficult\expensive to reproduce" But hey, what does John Murdy know about what it costs to make a HHN maze? "knew the late Stan Winston and respect his work too much to do Alien without being able to pull off the creatures." "Yeah I think Alien isn't possible for a maze. It was featured in the now defunct "Black Box" at Movieland Wax Museum years ago" "No we do deals with other studios. Has to be achievable in a live event (i.e. Alien would be impossible)." So... There's that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StraightEdge Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 so were never getting alien . It's not impossible, in a few years when the event gets more and more money, they might haVe the budget to pull it off but Murdy probably won't be the creative director to do it. Anyway, he never said Predator is expensive ? (; haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.HHN Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Anyway, he never said Predator is expensive ? (; hahaThought we proved it was when we showed how much the costume costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StraightEdge Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 true, I wonder how they could pull off a jungle environment in a few scenes. But the costumes would be the only problem! The jungle setting would be expensive too but they could only use it for a few scenes and the other environments could be from Predator 2. It would be less expensive then Alien. Ugh. Imagine Predator puppets... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridesandstuff Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I don't think the setting would be too problematic. They've done well in creating forests in previous mazes, the only problem is that rainforests have a lot more foliage than what they've done before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StraightEdge Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I can say we'll see Predator one day at HHN but not this year or next. But just think what if the freak out maze just is Predator ? That really would make anyone Freak Out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeoriaBJJ Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 WTF is all the nay-saying about problematic this and too expensive that? have you guys been to HHN before???? They can do anything and do it pretty damn well. If they got the go ahead on Predator (crap my pants) or Alien they would make it in epic fashion. I know everyone wants to be the "ultimate inside HHN person" but c'mon, you dont know their budget or anything pertaining to it and to say guys like this CAN'T do something is insulting. Have a little faith in our HHN overlords! I can say we'll see Predator one day at HHN but not this year or next. But just think what if the freak out maze just is Predator ? That really would make anyone Freak Out. Refer to my previous post. I would literally shit myself.... and if it didnt happen I would make it happen (the shitting). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferox Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 When there's direct quotes from the creative director of HHN who works with the budget year after year, I believe him. I would say that Murdy is an insider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StraightEdge Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Well to do Alien right and nail it, making you feel as if it is the year 2122 and you are on a ship to be stalked by a Xenomorph would be some pretty hard work and cash. It would probably be the budget of like 3 mazes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 If Alien comes to Florida and not here, I'm gonna remember what Murdy said about it being "impossible". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grindhousehero13 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I'm pretty sure with Orlando being an actual resort and their HHN being around longer then ours they have a bigger budget. Honestly if we get Alien that would be cool if we don't I could care less. Now lets just move on from the Alien talk until we get evidence moving away from what Murdy has said "No". We just keep going in circles here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grindhousehero13 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 must be something for the most part new or not a cult classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 This risky property Murdy is talking about....taking a shot in the dark here. In Murdy's terms, I assume he's referring to awareness. That's probably what he defines as risky. If that's the case, properties like Hellraiser, the Fog, American Werewolf in London, or even Ghostbusters comes to mind.? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StraightEdge Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 We need Ghostbusters. What if that's what Orlando & Hollywood are sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a little faith in our HHN overlords! There is this amazing thing called a Budget. They can pull it off but it would cost tons of money to the point where HHN would need to be open a few months to not only make the money back but to make a decent profit. This is primarily a business, not just fan service. Edited April 17, 2014 by Zero56 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StraightEdge Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 “@HorrorNights: You don't really allow yourself to think of anything else. Then later you realize...OMG! This is so cool!

Zero56 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Yeah just because of the success of one house on the opposite coast doesn't mean that it'll be coming to HHNH and be successful here as well. Look at Alice Cooper, he was a big hit here at Hollywood, but not so big in Orlando. Not sure if Alice Cooper is the best comparison. Adapting music and adapting a film are vastly different processes especially when you want to do it and when marketing makes you do it. I'm pretty sure Murdy thinks AWiL can be successful here given it was coming in 2012 before Texas Chainsaw Massacre. You're making me want Predator. Incredibly unlikely but it would be cool nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StraightEdge Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 People still think AMOK was Alien but after Murdy said today that it was really expensive and in 2012 they did have a smaller budget then as of current day, it was AWIL for sure.

DTH316 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I seriously don't understand how Ghostbusters keeps getting thrown in the mix. Like seriously, its making me mad. Y'all need to stop it lol. I will let go of Alien, but y'all need to let go of Ghostbusters! Risky tends to mean content wise is too disturbing. I believe he used similar words when describing La Llorona and El Cucuy. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
