Zero56 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I really dug Vampyre (my fav overlay) but from the looks of it, HOH has been equipped with an IP. Its much easier to come up with something original instead of trying to make things fit for a property. I think that's partly why UMR was successful to most people, because the theme was "random ass shit." And Vampyre was successful because no matter the environment, it had a different story for why it was like that (Chucky room being a nursery). The next hope is if the IP suits those environments. The only thing I can imagine doing that is Cabin in the Woods, but I would feel seriously robbed if it didn't get its own locale. To see those monsters in the HOH would be cool, but in their own maze would be better. Next would be the Purge. Purgers vs. Monsters. The announcement and sirens going off while havoc is all around. Murder and mayhem when the real world and fantasy collide. Actually, I'm kinda digging this idea.... not to mention, we'd get a potential Strangers vs. Purgers stand off :-P Classic Monsters can pass as an Intellectual Property. The house in Orlando was essentially what HoH does but with an overall lighting effect that made the whole attraction look black and white.

ferox Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 And a blackout theme. Which I think could work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferox Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Or...just do the entire maze with red and blue strobes to give it an old school (fittingly enough) three d vibe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsylumSB Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I wonder how hard Murdy was laughing at the people who speculated Kiss. We can always work our way back to KISS speculation if this thread comes to a screeching halt..... Hardy Har Har! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 We can always work our way back to KISS speculation if this thread comes to a screeching halt..... Hardy Har Har! Or I could give Triple T a call As for the House of Horrors speculation, I really don't know what else they could put in there that would be IP-based. I've got three guesses as to what it could be.... Bram Stoker's Dracula. This is the only older IP I could see fit in there. It'd be really random though. House of Horrors 2.0. This seems more likely as they could use lighting techniques. I would personally love the idea of a blackout/all-stobe maze. THAT would be cool to see for HoH. Dracula: Untold. This seems like the most likely to me. I recall Murdy screening two 2014 movies. The Purge being one of them and this might be the other one. I think Dracula: Untold is the most-likely candidate for the overlay. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridesandstuff Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Draclua: Untold does seen very likely at this point. It could be something semi original like remix. I like the idea of a blackout HOH but I don't think that's very likely due to the stairs and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridesandstuff Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I have a guess for teen spirit A poker term used to describe an aggressive play is a "fast" or playing fast, which lead me To Fast times at Richmont High . The actor who played Mr. Vargas in FTRH was Vincent Schiavelli who shares his name with Vincent D'Onofrio who played The Axeman in AHS Coven. One of Vincent Schiavelli credits is a film called American Pop. I know...predictable, but it's the only property I've gotten with this code name so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsylumSB Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 (edited) This reply is regarding Freak and Ferox's Dracula-related post. I think Bram Stoker's Dracula would give the classic HOH vibe a big step up in theming and atmosphere. Scareactors dressed as different forms of Dracula (Red Wolf Armor, Bat, Wolf, Victorian), Lucy Vamp Bride, Dracula's Brides (yum), Renfield. The inside of the attraction could have some areas with the "antiquated-style" of projection to resemble scenes from the movie, and include a soundtrack depicting the journal narrative that was featured in both book and movie. And of course, impaled victims. For some reason I can't reply to posts on my desktop since the site was last updated.

Ridesandstuff Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 If HOH Untold gives us people impaled on poles I am happy. That would look really cool lining the entrance towards the facade...probably not that feasible though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferox Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Eh, it's a simple effect. Or it could be done in the Frankenlab. But then again HOH Untold or whatever it would be called would run into the same issue of "hey y'all just pretend this doesn't make no sense" since the sets are very distinct. Doing untold would just be a slightly different version of that other vampire HOH. Murdy knows that the classic monsters aren't scary. He's said this. Adding dubstep to the maze twice was successful. The next overlay is likely to be something fun or campy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridesandstuff Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I could see that. I like the red and blue strobe thing. A while ago Stitch_101 posted in the create your own event thread about a primeval HOH which I think would be pretty cool. Even a futuristic HOH could be interesting as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now let's just hope TTT happened to be right about TRT or Exorcist. Just imagine if our speculation was correct. Imagine this line-up... -Dracula: Untold -The Exorcist -Trick r Treat -American Werewolf in London -The Purge -Original house -Poltergeist -Walking Dead Terror Tram This line-up would have me running to the front gates, forgetting about my disappointment from last year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTH316 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Wait, what's TTT? Haha And is the TRT spec good enough to put it on a potential line up? I thought that was another "maybe next year property." Given that this year is "(basically) ALL NEW!" I'm already very excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.HHN Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 -Dracula: Untold -The Exorcist -Trick r Treat -American Werewolf in London -The Purge -Original house -Poltergeist -Walking Dead Terror TramSeems like a good likely lineup but only problem is that's 7 Mazes. I agree with your lineup but I'd say it's either Poltergeist our TrT not both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was another "maybe next year property." It's speculated that it will come to Orlando. Murdy is really good friends with Michael Dougherty, so if it did show up on in Orlando I doubt if Murdy would pass it up for next year. TrT 2 is going to be an Origin story for Sam so that can work as its own maze for next year. Edited April 22, 2014 by Zero56 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurseddragon Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I'd be really mad if Orlando got TrT this year and we didn't. Even if we did end up getting it next year. It'd just be unforgivable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
