BenjaminNicholas Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Eli Roth lazily handling the commercial is neither here nor there to me. A big 'meh' I'm curious to see how long they plan on holding a full reveal. Perhaps they'll never fully reveal the whole thing, letting people figure it out for themselves once they hit the gates.

themazethinker Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 i just saw the commercial and the spot would have been so much better if in one room a deadite was rushing towards the victims but it was shot at by none other then ash, ash would just look at them and say [ thank me later ] and just walk off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I've updated the speculation map but at this point I think we already know what to expect. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverEvil1 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 BTW, if 24A is the closer to Shining, then you should switch Dead Waters and Fallen. Because the piece of art that was the steamboat Legacy mentioned was labeled 24A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my initial thought too. i'm assuming it matches with The Fallen. Possibly something to with the Tunguska event awakening demons that the Angels have to come down to fight. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why in holy hell, if you have such animosity toward the event and how it's run, are you even here? Why bother? Is it in your nature to look for things you can tear apart? I realize there are certain personality types who need this kind of stimulation, but for fuck's sake, why this? Totally agree. And did I mention lately how much I love that "ignore user" feature? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a good idea. I just looked it up though and the timelines are off. Could be the Kola Superdeep Borehole and the Well to Hell myth?

It's where Walking Dead was last year and Body Collectors was the year before that. However, there is no set location for 24A and 24B and they have switched places before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhHaiInternet95 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 (edited) ^They used to be on opposite ends of the soundstage but now the entrances and exits are on the same end. So is Fallen going to be in the BC:R and WD5 half or the FvJ and GTCoLG half? Edited August 25, 2017 by OhHaiInternet95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going purely by the image tweeted by HHNO, I'd say there are angels in the house battling something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Averixx De Avalon Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 5 hours ago, ForeverEvil1 said: Original House Names per Legacy: "The Hive" - Vampires - "Hive" "The Fallen" - Angels / Demons - "Crater" "Dead Waters" - Voodoo Bayou - "Paddle" "Scarecrows - Dustbowl" - Scarecrows Dustbowl - "Brains" He did say specifics were hard so he could be on point or wildly off. Nothing confirmed until officially announced. Not that I care about the names, that statement is towards others. Thank you! But I feel that Scarecrows-Dustbowl is probably the laziest name for a house, imho. I'm kinda hoping he's wrong about that. 5 hours ago, ThNdIzNiR said: I'm looking forward to the Dustbowl house, but I really hope that isn't the proper name for it. I know that names don't really matter, but c'mon, Scarecrows - Dustbowl??? That just sounds sorta cheesy. I agree. 5 hours ago, Jediwhit82 said: Not that I believe these house names, but if I did, I love all but scarecrow, you don't need a subtitle on an original house. I love the commercial, although I found it odd that Ash or a Deadite wasn't somewhere in it. Lastly, if you plan on having a first drink anywhere, I'd make it trader sam's grog grotto at Disney. I thought the same thing, about the commercial. I wonder why. I probably won't make it there for my "first (legal) drink", but it's on my bucketlist. What would you suggest from there?

HHNManics Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Scarecrows was said by Legacy to be wrong in the title. It's "Scarecrows: The Reaping". It's not "The Hive". It's just "Hive". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wow Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 (edited) 1 hour ago, Midnight Detective said: How sure of we of the house content in "The Fallen?" Very sure. Based on images released by Universal there is definitely a house that: (1) Has a portion set in a Cathedral (2) Features an underworld with Satanic imagery (3) In the underworld that looks similar to Catacombs (4) Dead angels Based off of the leaked house concept Angels vs Demons this is a definite match. It's also understandable looking at the concept art how this maze could be interpreted as a "Gothic meets Catacombs" maze; which imo would've been really good too.

b-wolf95 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 (edited) Can we just take a moment to appreciate the fact that the marketing is so messed up that the commercial came out before the full reveal? I'm not even mad at this point. I just find this hilarious. Edited August 25, 2017 by b-wolf95 Punctuation error 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. But there have been MANY original houses from the past several years that have had them. So it really shouldn't come as a surprise. 6 hours ago, b-wolf95 said: Can we just take a moment to appreciate the fact that the marketing is so messed up that the commercial came out before the full reveal? Honestly, it is actually kind of a terrible commercial for the event. Its too over the top &... cinematic? Like it really doesn't get to the point quick enough. Its an interesting concept, but not right for the event, especially when it has to be shared with Hollywood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faceleg Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 The commercial is ok. But the longer video just reminded me of the crush I have on Eli Roth (don't judge me). Ive tried to be optimistic about the lack of regular updates or the fact that there's no reveal yet, but the closer it gets to my trip the more I just wanna skip Universal almost altogether and just do Disney World. I already cancelled one of my Universal days to do epcot then go to hhn. Oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should have kept it 5 houses, why bother increasing them? Should have kept it a few nights in late October, why bother to extend the event? People show up on the weekends, why extend it to weeknights? We are very successful in the sedan and coupe market, why would Pontiac expand to trucks and SUVs? Their cars are the new hotness...bigger is better, why make a more economic and fuel efficient Hummer? Everybody on Wall St owns a PDA, why would Palm develop a smart phone or tablet? Everybody loves the mini keyboard, why would Blackberry develop a touchscreen when people are happy with the buttons? People love brick and mortar stores, they'll never buy stuff like clothes without trying them on or Refridgerators without physically touching it first....why would KMart, Sears, JC Penny, Macy's, Circuit City, Lechmeres, etc, etc, etc change and embrace new shopping models and the internet when they have successful anchor stores at every mall in every town in the country? Times change, the public changes, what people are willing to spend their money on changes. If the public hated IPs and just wanted originals, they'd all go to Howl O' Scream (yes, that's a gross exaggeration but you get the point). The trend now, and for the foreseeable future, is that people are comfortable with what they know and are proving it with their wallets. The crowds at XIV where nothing compared to what they are now...the number of people who come on a MUCH extended run is insane. There's a reason they do the user surveys every year...and it's not to hear the 1% paying customers who are super fans like us on these sites. It's to see what people want to see at the event and what they are willing to spend their hard earned dollars to attend. There's also a question about what they think of the website and if they found the info they wanted in a timely manner and all that jazz. ALL the stuff everybody complains about. They aren't idiots who just live in a bubble and make shit up as they go along. There are studies, sales metrics, sales breakdowns tied into when they announce stuff, etc, etc, etc. I think it's funny I'm the person constantly defending what they are doing....to people who love the event, are going regardless, yet still get off on complaining about every aspect of the event not living up to their personal ideal event and thinking that it's because marketing is too stupid to figure out what they want and that the other hundreds of thousands of paying customers don't matter. PS - GET OFF MY LAWN!!!! I mean if you want to settle, that's cool. It just comes down to the fact there's an entire galaxy of content we could be creating but we're just recreating things that already exist. I get that it's a business decision, but if we had one or two hard hitting IP's per year, we'd be more than ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was never old enough to drink there but had such a great time there every time without fail. The actors there were fantastic, the level of interaction was brilliant, and just a fun night all round!
