Nah because I've definitely seen everything else on that list at HHN. Poutine is the only thing on there I haven't seen. Listen guys, let's make a pact that the first person who finds poutine at the event this year needs to post its location in the group. Deal? I am not above asking a monster mid-attack where my gravy fries of goodness are.

Alice Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 22 days till full reveal and we're all investigating effing poutine because that's the most interesting thing about HHN we've heard of so far, lmao. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StupidStupidDan Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Not to derail too much, but Disney Springs has a poutine stand, and they have a breakfast one with an egg, tater tots instead of fries, and sausage gravy instead of the standard brown. It's phenomenal. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenoftheBunnies Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 (edited) Yeah but at least this is more fun than collectively being annoyed at marketing. This thread doesn't specify what kind of speculation has to be discussed. Also, Disney poutine is lovely. 10/10 strongly recommend.

Roadkill013 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 So all this talk about vampires and having to invite them in reminds me of one of my favorite 80's horror movies which I would love to experience as a house one year...

ForeverEvil1 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Also, within the week hopefully based on what Hollywood's hinting, we should be able to finally settle the Evil Dead debate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wow Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 (edited) Hollywood user here; what apparently happened was we were supposed to get a shared announcement for Ash vs Evil Dead today but the people editing the video didn't have enough time to finish it so it got delayed. Most likely happening this week though Also Legacy pointed out that since San Francisco area is housing the Sci-Fi zone, Festival of the Dead probably isn't happening Edited July 12, 2017 by wow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people with inside knowledge on both coasts(Legacy & Manics) have sworn by the claims that it's called one but is another.

I would prefer the original 2 films as I haven't seen the TV Show. Honestly, I'm holding my tounge on what it will exactly be since HHn is a fickle thing.

Im honestly curious. Well... I figure if they didn't want to make it seem like we were getting the same ED maze, they would need to change the name so it lets people know it's gonna be a different maze. Since AvED and the 2013 maze are completely different it makes sense they would choose to name it after the show for promotional purposes while also bringing in a new property.

Not having enough time when they probably had months to at least prepare to get it done sounds pretty ridiculous to me. As far as that vampire/black eyed children house goes, I was thinking maybe more along the lines of something like Let the Right One In (2008) possibly??? I think it would be tough to get all the scare actors to put in sclera contact lenses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to explain that in a 30 second video. That's what the news articles and blog posts are for. It just sounds sketchy to me but it's not like they'd ever tell so shrug.

Again I'm no expert but this sounds like a really bad idea. Its deceptive and it would be confusing the guests, especially that coveted "general public" crowd that must be pleased. Doing what you gave an example of would only appease the people on this forum. That's my take. I would be incredibly surprised if Uni did something like that. But then again, the thought an Alice Cooper house was a good idea. Edited July 12, 2017 by PeoriaBJJ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a reason we warn people and there's a reason no one comes out (usually) and says what everything is: Scareactors (I find your degradation of those who physically place themselves in harms way to create this event offensive) have to sign NDAs. They talk, they get fired. Everyone tiptoes and specs and gives hints and riddles to protect the people who create the event. And that includes the non scareactors who create this event. As for Uni not releasing info: It's a business. When dealing with other people's Intellectual Properties, you don't get to create the timeline for information releases. You move at a pace that is best for marketing the material. Honestly, the biggest complaint I'm seeing isn't a lack of spec, but a lack of concrete knowledge. Speculation isn't concrete knowledge. Speculation is forming an educated guess. Specs are hypotheses. I'm no longer sure what it is that everyone wants? Build? You can't achieve build by just giving the answer. When someone puts forth the effort to try to create spec and build (like The Ifrit), the person is mocked or ignored. The middle ground is what I want. I understand that there needs to be timelines for information releases. I know there will never be another NO SIGNAL moment. There will never be another moment where we all log in refreshing the site waiting to see if our specs are right. Too much impatience. Too many leaks. Too many in need of "FIRST!!" claims. There are ways to achieve suspense and build while following the timeline. Those ways could be achieved by social media, if Marketing were willing to put in the effort, and if we were willing to be patient and put in effort of our own. I understand that the employees have to sign NDAs but someone who was rejected posted that he saw the list and couldn't post anything. Why? He didn't even get hired so why can't he say anything? My point is that this is supposed to be a speculation thread on an independent web site and all I keep reading is how we can't say anything in order to protect Universal. If that's the case then the thread should just be locked instead of having to read posts about the consequences of revealing a house, or even more ridiculous, the survey. Movies get spoiled months before they're released but we can't find out what the last house is going to be when we already know most of them? I think that's asinine. I didn't insult the scare actors but to say that most of them aren't teenagers is naive and, I would say, somewhat delusional if you've ever been to a Halloween event anywhere. And we all know that the decision to release the info is Universal's so we don't need your condescending explanation of the entertainment industry.

Definitely am going to make plans to see the TV show even if it ends up being the movies. I honestly think they would even then they focus more on 2, I think the fact it's the generally better received and better known in pop culture (and more unique from what they've done before) movie will take priority.

I thought both the original and the 2011 remake were awesome (Yes, I consider the 2011 remake to be one of the best horror remakes I've ever seen), and either one could make for a good House. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
