Last year's American Horror Story was called "American Horror Story" but only focused on 3 seasons, instead of all 5 at the time. They're only calling it Ash vs Evil Dead to promote the show, + everyone wants to see Evil Dead 1 & 2 so it works out for everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just did it a few years back. Evil Dead 2 takes place in the same location as the 1st one so what extra material would they even add? If they're going to use the name of a tv show, use the damn material from the show. I don't want this to be a bait and switch with the switch being another AWiL situation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the only reason they're naming it Ash vs Evil Dead is because if they named it "Evil Dead" people would confuse it for what was at 23, which was based off of the remake. Since it's named after the show, people will think it's something new; I don't agree with it but I see why they did it 3 minutes ago, criticalanalysis said: A number of things on the house list seem odd and pretty stupid, frankly. To me the only weird thing on it is the Vampire/Conjuring replacement maze.

There are only so many popular enough films to choose from that would get the people going. However, using shady false advertisements to cover up a repeat from only a few years back is just lame in my opinion. They couldn't wait another year or two to bring it back, or better yet, actually use material from the show? If this rumor turns out to be true I guess that will be one house I'll only need to visit a couple times. 17 minutes ago, criticalanalysis said: A number of things on the house list seem odd and pretty stupid, frankly.

I mean, next year will probably be the end of AHS at Orlando because they won't have anything to work with(season 7 is based on the election so Universal won't mess with that). Also, they should really branch out into more stuff(like video games, other TV shows, maybe a music house a la Hollywood). Idk, I just think eventually they need to give other properties a shot before doing more respeats; hell they could've done It this year. Anyone else wish they could do a year like 2009, 2008, or 2011 again? Those years seem to be regarded as some of the best years in HHN history. I wish they would bring back the Usher or Lady Luck because they had a really strong Lineup when those two ran their own events Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StupidStupidDan Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I'll go on record to say that Blumhouse always seemed a bit off to me. Especially in Orlando. Hope I'm wrong though, that one really has some potential to be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was heavily rumored at first that it was a Hollywood exclusive so idk how it turned into an Orlando maze, but it does make sense marketing maze and should be a pretty good maze.

OhHaiInternet95 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 (edited) ^Yeah! A house with a STEAMBOAT FACADE is going to be a snore fest. One of the most clamored for IPs of all time will be, as well! In fact, I'm going to apply your attitude to HHN 18 (since I was lucky enough to go that year): Scary Tales and Body Collectors: WE'VE HAD THESE ALREADY UGH Dead Exposure: Just a bunch of tarp and flashing lights! Doomsday: A house on a movie that no one cared about?! Reflections of Fear: Very short! This is what they gave us for an icon house? Creatures: The creatures never worked and it was mostly rednecks anyway! What a rip-off! See how easy it is to find negative things when you're looking for them? I honestly don't know why you go to HHN. Edited June 30, 2017 by OhHaiInternet95 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wow Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Bayou of Blood should be really good if they can execute it properly, I'm really excited to see how the steamboats gonna look. I agree with Critical on The Shining solely because idk how they're gonna replicate the scaling and pull off some of the scenes, but it will be in a soundstage so I'm confident in it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenoftheBunnies Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Oddly enough, I gotta agree with Critical again when it comes to The Shining. I would honestly bet money that the blood elevator scene is going to be done FvJ style with a screen. Plus the hotel is so massive I can't imagine that they would do it justice. But then again, people were unsure about the Exorcist house last year and that was done pretty well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhHaiInternet95 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Ok, in all seriousness I can understand skepticism of The Shining. I think it has potential to be an all-timer or a dud. But it's easier to take that skepticism seriously when it's not coming from someone whose goal is to complain. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But putting it from that marketing standpoint - don't give it the same name as a past house if it's not a real repeat a la AWiL - it makes a lot of sense. The promotion for the house should be able to make it pretty clear what the actual theme is anyway, so it's not as though it will truly be false advertising to anyone who actually paid attention to the promotional material for the event.

Hence why if ST/BC did comparable environments I would shit on it. Thankfully, they didn't. Hence why when Creative has free reign they know often times near-exact replicas suck. 2) I agree, overrated as hell house. 3) Correct, hence why it sucked. 4) Hence, why most people were very disappointing. 5) I mean I agree with this here minus the redneck part.
