wow Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 I'm curious to see how Angels vs Demons & Bayou of Blood/Dead Waters turns out. AvD seems to be a very interesting concept in particular due to its "battle over creation" theme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystiquephreeq Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 I'm going to have to alter my agreement with @ForeverEvil1 4th pic of razor wire isn't for Scarecrows. It's Saw. After really looking at the pic, no way that form of wire would be used on a farm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drummanmatt Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Hype finally starting to build up nicely now. Not overly convinced by the festival of the deadliest theme though. My gut tells me this is plan B (or C even). Regardless the pics from the houses look great, especially loving the gothic pic (I'm convinced at least one of those light holders will move and scare the crap out of me haha). Also really excited for the scarezones which all sound good. Only criticism is why has it took so long to get to this point? Minor gripe but glad this is going to be my first year. Only 36 days to go for me now! Can't wait. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know what you guys think. Very nice! I'm also working on a shirt for Bill and Ted's final year. It'll be done sometime this week and I plan on making it available online. Mine will be an illustration, like my poster for last years show, just not nearly as elaborate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure when preview night will be (hasn't been officially announced to us) but a heads-up to anyone who might have wanted to go--TMs are NOT getting guest tickets for preview night this year. They are tightening it up, it seems. Maybe it's because of all the filming/photos they take. Instead of the preview they're letting people use one comp ticket for HHN. The public-facing team site has the dates. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilot Light: is a small gas flame, usually natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas, which serves as an ignition source for a more powerful gas burner. Common applications include household water heaters, central heating systems, fireplaces, flamethrowers, etc... Basically... the pilot light will be lit & the main jack-o-lantern in Central Park's "Trick R Treat" scarezone will do THIS... every so often throughout the night 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zacVStheworld Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Hopefully I don't sound greedy with this comment because I'm more than greatful with all the announcements we got, I'm just curious to know what might've taken them this long to inform us?

IP issues... loss of brain function for deciding to end B&T for more Potter... The event starts in 25 days & they still haven't announced the 4 original mazes or Blumhouse of Horrors. Back in the day, this wouldn't be a big deal because we'd at least have fun distractive updates on the website that'd tease & hint to whats to come while building a deeper mythology and story. Of course, at the same time, back then, the even't didn't start as early as it does now. So yea... its just terribly handled. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rikku Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I'm sorry I have seen it kinda discussed but no direct answer really and I know we won't get one until Universal says but what are we leaning towards in terms of Icon or no icon?

It seems odd to me as I thought both Jack and Chance were successful the past two years, even if Chance's house and scarezone wasn't as well received.

Agreed; they had a really good concept with the Soul Collectors too and could've used that to their advantage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think that countdown was originally for something much better than a damn wallpaper. I swear, I want a tell-all book from the Universal staff about this year's horror nights. There's no way all of this was just out of pure laziness. Some kind of shit had to have gone down. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wow Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 (edited) Another incident from this year I wanted to point out was that Insidious was originally a house in the MIB tent but was scrapped in favor for the Blumhouse Mashup(at least this is what I've heard). Additionally(according to rumors), half of the Blumhouse maze is Insidious with the other half being half Sinister and half Purge. If the Insidious rumor is true then that means the initial lineup planned was: AHS: Asylum, Coven, Roanoke; SS?? The Shining; SS22 Ash vs Evil Dead*; Parade Building Saw; Shrek Queue The Conjuring; Sprung 2 Insidious: MIB Tent Bayou of Blood/Dead Waters: SS24 Angels vs Demons: SS24 Scarecrows: Sprung 1 * = AvED was initially rumored to be based on Evil Dead 1 & 2 and use the name for promotion, which has yet to be proven(in terms of if it initially was an Evil Dead house) aside from early leaks Edited August 21, 2017 by wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhHaiInternet95 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 (edited) Will anyone in the know be able to tell us what happened behind closed doors with the "Soul Collectors?" And will the drama have an effect on the actual event quality? Everything I've heard about the houses themselves sounds great.

From what I've heard all the houses are top notch quality and could win HoTY, it sounds like there's no duds. The only awkward thing you may notice is that the house codenamed Hive is gonna look a lot like the Conjuring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
