IheartNARWHALS Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Okay. I am on Chapter 3 of the game The Evil Within. I know I am no where close to being done with the game. It could turn out to be a bad idea, but from what I've played, this would be a good idea for a house. I know it's zombies but that seems to be the theme HHN is going on so it could fit. Or it will be too obscure for anyone to know what it is or for Universal to pick it up. I wonder if Bethesda would be open to something like that. Thoughts? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WB Movie World in Australia did it last year, so Bethesda is probably willing. It's first anniversary will be during HHN times next year, so it could be good timing. Problem is, does Orlando wants to try video games again, since I recall both Silent Hill and RE getting "meh" reactions at best for the majority.

Legacy Posted December 25, 2014 Author Share Posted December 25, 2014 Well, and The Evil Within is a single game with limited cross-over appeal and even less awareness. Just because it exists doesn't mean it's possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeoriaBJJ Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 As someone who doesn't play video games at all.... it would have to be a pretty big name game for me to know about it. SH and RE I think are pretty popular and the fact that had movies about them help tremendously. I thought both those houses are pretty blah but were also pretty cool. Really as long as the house is bad ass it could be based on anything for all I'm concerned!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecto_Freak Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 (edited) I'm thinking that with the help of LT well start getting teasers around Mardi Gras.. Also Mike should be tweeting more soon as approvals will be happening by early next yr Edited December 28, 2014 by DesigningtheFear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IheartNARWHALS Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Yeah, The Evil Within was more wishful thinking than speculation. I know its stupid to think that they will bring it. Just...wishful thinking xD Anyway, didn't we get hints or first words around Mardi Gras last year? I know it was around one of the major events Universal has and that's the only one I can think of, that and it lasts so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Topside Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) Only 267 days until opening night, but who is counting? Still hoping for a Shining house above all other IPS (maybe after Universal Monsters). I'd like to see it 50/50 orginal and movie houses this year but I know that won't happen. Most of all I'm wishing for a higher house count, 10-12 please! Edited December 31, 2014 by Johnny Topside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that's the one I'd like to see at HHN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't exactly know the answer to that, but recently John Murdy over at Hollywood got asked about the IT TV Miniseries, and Murdy said he's tried but couldn't get it, which I presume is because of King, even though he didn't make the miniseries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 King still owns the rights. It's his property and he would have to approve any version of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackTheREAPER Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 (edited) Since it's the 25th anniversary It's possible we get a new All Night Die In house to as an HHN past house and see Stephen King properties in it. That's COMPLETELY a wild idea, and if All Night Die In comes back, it'll probably consist of a bunch of paranormal genres. (The Conjuring, Oculus, Annabelle, Woman In Black 2, etc) since that's a large genre that can't necessarily be used as full length houses, but in this case can be used as scenes in an All Night Die In house. I'm overthinking everything, but right now without clues, that's all we can really do. Edited December 31, 2014 by JackTheREAPER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IheartNARWHALS Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Ew. Can we keep the Annabelle chatter to a minimum? I'm still grieving over the loss of my 12 bucks to see it. If they made the house, the queue video would be a walkthrough of the house. (In case someone didn't see the movie, it was so predictable) Anyway, would anyone think its possible that we would have another music based house like Alice Cooper or someone similar? I would think not due to its past record. But it's something to think about at least. I wouldn't mind seeing one honestly. The best one would be Rob Zombie but he is off doing his own houses in Arizona and probably fed up with Universal at this point. So he isn't realistic to come. I really wanted to experience House of 1,000 Corpses but guess not xD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tich0las Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I'd like to play along on the "Streets as Houses, Houses as Scarezone" concept... Houses: Acid Assault Bayou of Blood (focuses on Voodoo Priestess sacrifices) Treaks and Foons Asylum in Wonderland The Path of the Wicked Boogeyman (inspired by Singapore) Dark Christmas (inspired by Hollywood) Night Prey 7 Scarezone: Demon Catina Gothic Hellgate Prison PsychoScareapy Scary Tales These are based on praise for the original content and concepts I found most intriguing.

Legacy Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 I'd like to play along on the "Streets as Houses, Houses as Scarezone" concept... Houses: Acid Assault Bayou of Blood (focuses on Voodoo Priestess sacrifices) Treaks and Foons Asylum in Wonderland The Path of the Wicked Boogeyman (inspired by Singapore) Dark Christmas (inspired by Hollywood) Night Prey 7 Scarezone: Demon Catina Gothic Hellgate Prison PsychoScareapy Scary Tales These are based on praise for the original content and concepts I found most intriguing. Honestly, though some of those house ideas would work I don't know if they'd be good. Acid Assault is just a city in its last dregs which we've seen before. They did a circus house featuring the Treaks and Foons (Funhouse of Fear) that was forgotten for a reason. Night Prey and Blood Bayou hold a lot of thematic similarities to Jungle of Doom. Boogeyman is any generic house like Dead End or Wyandot. We've seen a lot of what would be in Asylum in Wonderland and Path of the Wicked in previous Scary Tales. A Dark Christmas/Krampus house would work well, and I've always thought 7 (set in a cathedral) could be spectacular. The zones are things they've done before (save Gothic). Demon Cantina is literally Blood Thunder Alley (or any biker zone) only with vampires. Hellgate is just generic prisoners (like the legion). Psychoscarepy is generic inmates and too similar to Hellgate. Scary Tales would suffer a tinge unless they do scenes like Face-Off or Horror Revealed because it so similar to AiWL. Gothic could work for statue scares, but without the cathedral I'm not sure if just a bunch of statue scares is enough (considering I didn't think the costumes were that impressive).

Guest Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I'd be one really happy person if they happen to bring the newest season of American Horror Story to the event this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackTheREAPER Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 What made Gothic so cool to me was the fact that they had actors flying around, and if they were to put some ziplines into the zone, they could have the bat creatures flying around over guests. I think I remember zip lines being used before but I can't the name on the zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could those have been stunt performers as well? In the houses, they're regular performers. If I'm correct, the height of the fly-rigs (and how high above the street they were) required stunt workers. Plus, if a performer falls in a house there's likely props or safety gear directly below them to limit injuries. You also are less likely to have guests intentionally trying to mess with them. Outside, it's a straight fall to concrete (onto guests) and you invite assholes to throw stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mystiquephreeq Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Does Stephen King have creative control over the Stanley Kubrick version? Because that's the one I'd like to see at HHN.Because I can never turn down King talk... King hates, HATES, the Kubrick version. It's not a small dissatisfaction. He loathes it. (I haven't seen any recent articles showing that he has changed his opinion.) Sai King would probably be very antagonistic toward a company who put forth Kubrick's version (if King doesn't maintain some or all rights control). I doubt ostracizing the "Master of Horror" would be something either coast would desire to do. King may one day decide to allow his works to be used for haunts. Best to stay in his good graces. And since King is spending a large percentage of his time right down the road from UO (Venice/Sarasota area, I believe), he would be unlikely to miss the advertising for HHN. Personally, I feel the book version of The Shining would make a far better haunted house. There is a more supernatural feel, iconic sounds (roque mallet booming), the focus on the boiler could add to the scenic elements, and since we have puppets now, the topiaries coming to life. While Kubrick's version has a mass appeal (recognizable), I just feel it lacks necessary elements for a house. *returns to her reread of The Shining* 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
