Thanks for clarifying. Wonder how much truth there is to any of the icon rumours anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthSpielberg Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 (edited) Even the infographic on the website for Skoolhouse had nods to Trick R Treat. It was clearly an inspiration. (Edit: beaten to the point by mere seconds) I'd LOVE Trick R Treat to come to the event in any shape or form, but a scarezone filled with Jack O'Lanterns would be super great.

mystiquephreeq Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I remember how anticipated the movie was, and the wait for it to finally be released. In a way, it was like Scarezone. All sorts of hype, but it was only being seen at festivals. I never did get to see Scarezone. I could never find a DVD. I'll have to go searching for it. Wouldn't mind seeing Collections of the Past again. 08 had a couple of A&D "love notes" to movies. IT was a homage to Event Horizon. EDIT: Icon rumors. Whatever we get will be a marketing creation. The "hype" is too blasé for anything else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WannabeIcon Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Initial audition will consist of a type out audition. Hybrid Stilt Walkers Male and Female Stilt Walkers Maximum weight 190lbs (weight will be verified at the audition). Stilts will be provided for the audition. BigFoot® Stilt Walkers Seeking male stilt walkers 6’ – 6’8” in height . Must have previous BigFoot® Stilt Walking Experience. I only remember in past audition emails the need for the Bigfoot Walkers? So unsure if this Hybrid set is for something in a specific house, zone, or parade (maybe)??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenoftheBunnies Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Stilt walkers will probably be in the Day of the Dead scarezone. I remember during 25 they had candy skull stiltwalkers in the Icon scarezone. They were fun so I'll be excited to see them back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HHN 27: The Recycled Year Ok but they'll always be able to get away with this because no matter how many returning guests there are, there will be more guests who have never experienced HHN and may possibly never experience it again. It sucks, but that's one of the main differences between a theme park haunt and a good ol' homemade haunt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, pretty much every time you see stilt people at Universal that's what they're using. Which is why the 'hybrid' stilt auditions are interesting--usually they don't use anything other than Bigfoots IIRC. So...maybe something new inside a house? Or they wanted a different height range for street stilts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They let the awesome creative people have free reign to create awesome things. Not only does this attract locals, but it really attracts hard core HHN fans who want to experience a more themed event...like the golden days of HHN Orlando. Give it a few more years. Marketing will be put in control and then not only will Orlando and Hollywood be sharing IP's, but USS will also have the same IP's. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikku Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Sorry if discussed already but I am confused. How does a potential Conjuring house become a vampire house? I mean I am just asking if this situation is similar to the Scream/Purge fiasco. Because if so wouldn't it be easier to transform it to like a Dead End sequel or something? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the first rumors that Conjuring was lost hit, Dead End was my first thought. I think we will have to wait and see what kind of vampire is used to determine how it fits. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we will have to wait and see what kind of vampire is used to determine how it fits. If they're literally using the set from an already constructed Conjuring house then I'd assume they'd be American vampires. Now that I've typed that it sounds weird but what I mean is I doubt these will be high class, leather tights, fancy pants' with fangs. I really doubt we'll see cajun vampires (ala Anne Rice) due to the Bayou of Blood house. I honestly have no idea what angle they'll take - if it feels too rural and it'll be too similar to the Scarecrow house. However, they have to work with what they have which is essentially a secluded farm house. I'd wager the end result will either look the opening of John Carpenter's Vampires or something really unique to stand out against the bland setting. The exciting news is even though we have a lot of information we still no real idea of what's going on and how these themes will shape Edited June 13, 2017 by Midnight Detective 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystiquephreeq Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Are hybrid stilts the bendy ones? Werewolf stilts is what I'm thinking of. My daughter may be taking circus arts, but she focused on aerial dance so I don't know the name of stilts (yet). Sci-Fi zone could use the bendy stilts. Gothic had a gargoyle on stilts, so it could be for that as well. Bigfoot stilts could work for an icon, if a reaper is used. On on a side note, I can see how each rumored zone can be placed into a Legion of Horror. While stifled by corporate and marketing demands, A&D is still trying to touch on lore. I have to applaud them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
