Grime Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I really hate this location for zones, and if the stage show wasn't out by Mel's I feel like this one should be out there (like Horrorwood). It's a great zone thrown in an absolute shit location. Kudos to the actors for dealing with the amount of traffic in such a small space. I'm not even claustrophobic but this area always brings it on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StyrofoamCup Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Does anyone happen to know the rotation times of the two casts? I've only been catching the black and white cast and really want to see the modern cast. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Averixx De Avalon Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Does anyone happen to know the rotation times of the two casts? I've only been catching the black and white cast and really want to see the modern cast. Thank you!It seems every 45, I was in the zone during cast changes twice. one at 6:45, and one at 7:30. Freddy and Jason both were there last night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is still really crowded but somehow it works (the crowds kind of add to the "theater atmosphere") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vampyr Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Poor Jason and Freddy. When I went through this scarezone this past Thursday night, they both had a mob around them, wanting to take selfies and pictures. Like, they couldn't even walk. Fresh meat in a pack of lions. I wouldn't be surprised if they were removed from this scarezone for that reason. It was a little ridiculous. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised if they were removed from this scarezone for that reason. It was a little ridiculous.I am praying that they won't take them away. they are the best characters of the entire zone. I kind of wish they just made them official Photo ops, have them not walk around and just have them for pics the same way they did with Lady Luck and Fear (neither of them walked that much either) If they take them away I wonder if people would complain and get mad, Everyone is seeing Freddy and Jason on pics from the event, and imagine wanting to see them and they were gone... The general public would probably get pretty mad. instead of getting rid of them, they should understand people love these characters and just make a line to take pics with them lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintendokid33 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 They will not pull them. That's a fact. I'm working the zone and I have been told while big photo opp areas, they still will stay in the zone no matter what. If anything come Thursday they will be establishing a way to minimize some big photo crowds around them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tman875 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) The street opens at 6 and they do 45 minute sets. Also, Scareactors aren't required to have their photos taken and guests need to respect their wishes if that is the case. I am in another zone and we are told that if you are taking pictures, you need to get to one side of the zone so a line doesn't form in the middle, blocking the walkway.Inevitably, if you take a picture with one - more will take the opportunity to get one with you.

I do not recall seeing so many people trying to get a pic before. (Not even with Jack in 2010) I was actually shocked when I saw that big group of people next to Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissBA Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 They could possibly try to start a "no photos" movement. Or at least a no stop and pose photo movement. Discourage selfies and encourage the actor to continuously move and not stop to pose for a picture. Worse comes to worse, there's always the barricade option to keep a barrier between them and guests. But then it'll be a spectator event. Those in charge of that street are really going to have their hands tied trying to figure out a solution. Hopefully it's peaceful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tman875 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I feel there are too many SA's who want tons of photos of themselves so they pose for every photo that comes their way. That's all well & good, but that makes those who are there to scare and don't stop/pause for a photo seem like asses. They weren't hired to be a photo-op (I know some are) so why should they be expected to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
criticalanalysis Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Disagree with y'all. For every one actor posing there was ten scaring. I only saw the classic monsters, unfortunately, but I did enjoy this area overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clash Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) I think uni fueled the selfie craze by using instagram to promote the event.(and twitter)uni is getting a lot of free promotion by the fans just sharing the selfies. (selfies are being posted on facebook too)if anything uni fueled this by asking fans to use the hash tags #hhn25 or #jacksmaniacsor using vine. Uni tried to take full advantage of social media and this is the result. Can't have it both ways lol Edited September 29, 2015 by clash 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circ Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Let's be honest here. Freddy and Jason as a whole are icons for the whole horror industry, just like how Jack and friends are icons for the event specifically. Universal wouldn't pull the ability to take pictures in the icon zone, and they wouldn't do it for Freddy and Jason. It's a pull of this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 The proper way to handle photos is to make them quick, stay in character intimidating the person taking the photo, and then immediately break into a scare after it's taken. My usual option was to rush the photographer after they lower the phone, then immediately bounce to more scares. Since I was a Beast, I also let myself act like I was only barely restraining myself from eating the subject of the photo and growling louder with every second that the photographer took to fumble with their phone.Problems come when you let yourself get bogged down, taking every picture that's asked for and standing around after it's done to let other people get in for a shot. The core component of any zone is scares, and unless your role is specifically a showman and photo role (like the actors on the stages in Psychoscarepy this year) pictures should always be viewed as a temporary distraction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinderelly115 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Jason did a great job of scaring and doing photos with people from what I saw this past weekend.. He had ton of people calling his name.. pulling at him (ugh) and constantly posing with him but he also kept getting the scares in there as well.. He would take a picture of two then walk away to scare before posing again. I saw him walking away from quite a few people who tried to take pictures with him. I must say I feel bad for those two this is going to be a long run for them! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, there are two (or 3) vampires that I can only assume are from Cirque Du Freak. (can't think of anything else they are from) as well as the Jason camp victim kinda wish they had jigsaw as well Edited October 15, 2015 by clash 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
