Technically if you count streets it's 7, which is more. But I'm willing to bet we're back down to the 5-4 next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystiquephreeq Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 To add: Creative and Marketing are two separate departments or "entities". Just as legal and guest services are two separate departments or "entities". While these multiple "entities" must work as a whole, they have entirely separate responsibilities. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it has circulation far beyond the Universal Twitter account or website (lol !). If there was any question this is event is targeted at the masses as opposed to hardcore fans see above. They are ok with the USA Today scooping their own marketing. I actually feel sorry for them. I know a lot of you worship at the altar of Aiello, but he is corporate now. Heavy on the mass media and $$$, while light on creativity. So so brace yourself for more IPs, less creativity, more selfie stages, less horror, more 3D sh$t houses and whatever the flavour of the day is. Seriously, I thought with such an exciting release of news today that it would be Critical who would take the first crap in the punch bowl. And yet, here you are. I am not sure what your problem is, but you are 100% wrong. I know Mike personally, and he is a very passionate man who loves this event and wants to make it the best it can be. He does have to answer to the higher-ups, but I think he and his group have done an outstanding job working around the "corporate" bullshit to make this an amazing event every single year. I think it is downright shitty, not to mention nonsensical, to suggest that there will ever be "less creativity". The entire A&D group consists of real Halloween/horror fanatics, and their passion for it comes out spectacularly with this event. If you're so disgusted and generally pissy about how you think HHN is being done, why are you here? Maybe use your spare time to take a Business 101 class instead of leaving beshitted comments like this. Most of us are pretty tired of this kind of negative crap. 6 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alice Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 So we haven't had any official announcement of the originals on the blog or HHN social? The most important and relationship-saving reveal for HHN and the diehard fans, and some newspaper gets to 'leak' it? I've been indifferent to most of the other marketing BS but what the hell? Originals apparently don't matter to the team anymore. Only IPs get big flashy announcements now. That smarts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDW Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Despite my qualms with HHN, Universal proper, their marketing, and greedy corporations. Mike is a great guy. Friends defend friends. The creatives who work the event have a passion for the event. They do what they can with what they are told. Anyhoo. I just saw that Dead Waters house. looks top-notch. Almost makes me want to go... almost. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverEvil1 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Oh no, the originals that will be revealed in 3 hours probably got revealed on USAToday, which more people probably read than any of the HHN accounts! And they didn't even reveal any logos or any significant details besides one house! HHN is corporate, Mike Aiello is a shill! Yawn. So dramatic. 11 minutes ago, Dog67 said: You have your opinion.

And you trying to reason a USAToday interview, a media interview of which happens like every year, into "Mike is corporate", was equally comical. I don't think Mike's corporate, I think he does what he's told, which of course he does. And if he is, OH NO, he wants to make...MONEY?! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's comical is your ridiculous "bitter, party of one" act compounded by the hilarious idea that you actually know anything. But we all know.. there's ALWAYS that "one guy". Today it's you. Lucky us. For those who actually care - these are some of Aiello's tweets just now (see below). Yeah, that Aiello.. what a corporate tool. smh 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feral is exactly what I was guessing a week or so ago on this. After watching all all four videos I now have no idea which one is going to be the scariest they all look awesome. Pretty intrigued by the squishy floor and slanted boathouse in dead waters though. Sounds like they have really pulled out all the stops this year in making these super immersive. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
