Mark M. Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Congratulations! You’ve been selected to be one of the lucky contestants on RUN, the most popular and brutal television show in the world. In this house, you’ll have to try and avoid the skilled assassins known as Reapers as you work through “death obstacles” designed to mangle and shred—all for the amusement of the audience watching from home. And good news: the now run-down Hellgate Prison has been selected as the battleground. Good luck!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
criticalanalysis Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 And this will be in Hellgate Prison? I wonder how they'll "explain" the RUN facade being put in front of a prison. Sounds retro and awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead Inside Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 The Hellgate involvement makes me much more excited. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttyfattony Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I've never had the opportunity to go through one of the "Run" houses and this one sounds really awesome. It's quickly becoming one of my most anticipated houses. It's a real life Running Man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Averixx De Avalon Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 This has moved so far up my list of anticipation, it's not even funny. MOVING YOUR WAY THROUGH DEATH OBSTACLES? I THINK YES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDW Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Run was never really a favorite for me but to set it in Hellgate has me intrigued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Averixx De Avalon Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 How do you think they'll implement the "Death Obstacles"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandry Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I'm nonplussed. Didn't do 2001, did 2006 and it was blah. For me, just personally, I've never had good luck with Disaster houses, as far as them being memorable for me. Haven't outright disliked any, but they're always just so-so.

Legacy Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 How do you think they'll implement the "Death Obstacles"?The same way they did Saws and Steam. The rooms are just set to look like massive traps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legacy Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Sorry, last year was my first year. It's a little hard to describe then. A room with bladed walls that move towards you. A room with spiked walls. May a room with "electrical wires" dangling down. That sort of stuff. There may be some kill scenes in there as well.(The grinder FTW).

hunnylvr Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I never got to experience the original Run either. That's just a few years before my time (sidebar: why doesn't Universal play their HHN commercial country wide?? Thank god my son saw the Travel Channel special when he did, or I might still be oblivious). However, the premise does sound a lot like The Running Man. Stephen King has created these game shows of death long before the Hunger Games. Running Man, and one of my all -time faves, "The Long Walk" (written as Richard Bachman). I may watch the Running Man before the event just for shits and giggles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
criticalanalysis Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Please, someone explain why they're using the old RUN logo on the facade, not the new (better) logo that's featured in the house logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacklagoontaylor Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I for some reason also thought of a crouching spot making an in this house as a part of the "Death Obstacles" with wires hanging, similar to the one in House of Horrors in 2012.

ForeverEvil1 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 This went from "meh" to "I'm into this" just by the description. I thought this was gonna just be the torture porn house of this year, so I'm glad to see they're leaning more towards the game show concept. I like the new high techish logo. Subtitle's okay, though I'm surprised they didn't just go with RUN: Hellgate Prison. Or if they wanted to be clever....RUN: Hell's Gate. Random prediction: Each of the Reapers has a different theme to them. That Canada photo was for this, because Mike said the Reaper in that area was Canadian. I'm guessing the Reapers have divided Hellgate into different "arenas" and themed them after themselves. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marmoset Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Curiously, how do you know this? I saw the images of the old one with yellow/red lightbulbs.i walked passed the facade a few days ago. The original sign cannot be seen from where the queue would be. (it's a pretty big facade) the original sign can only be seen from the extended Disaster! queue. I'm not saying that they won't potentially move the sign out front. However, as of right now it's on the inside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudleyz-dooz Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 It'll be my first time at Orlando's HHN, and i've heard so much about this particular maze. But are we actually going to "run" from scareactors? Or is it the same conga line like the rest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you can run out of those house if you choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
