Angels vs. demons is a rarely seen concept for live horror like haunts, and Universal has the budget to pull it off spectacularly. It sounds like a panicked decision at the last minute has completely neutered A&D. Besides they could have just let the angels win at the end or something. They could have made it "good wins over evil" That could have even pleased people to see instead of being offended Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbeLinkedIn Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I too would have been fine with the angels winning over the demons. Taking them out seems to defeat the purpose of the house and they might as well have gone with the Gothicombs rumor that was flying around, no pun intended. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhHaiInternet95 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 It reminds me of a Far Side panel where God was participating in a game show, winning hundreds of points to -5. The author says that even if the human contestant had any points it would have meant he'd beaten God to the buzzer at least once, and someone would have gotten mad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clash Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I can understand why they were afraid of backlash or drama, But why even greenlit the house idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenjaminNicholas Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I'd also be fine if evil won. Are people so fragile in their belief systems that they can't fathom evil actually winning? LOL. Besides, this IS a Halloween event. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandry Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I was raised Catholic and I'm offended with how big of a pussy Universal is. Enough of the political correctness. It's Halloween. Suck it up. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clash Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 (edited) Having seen the house, I think some mutilated corpses were meant to be angels. The hair gave it away. This wasnt a battle, it was a slaughter. I cant see how any of the rooms would have had the angels winning in any way. This house was set up for the demons to torture the angels i think. I could see some people being freaked out by the carnage Edited September 18, 2017 by clash 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, the event has had a Carnival of CARNAGE. If you can't stand the blood, get out of the butcher shop. It is a little more complicated than that. Im going to play devil's advocate here because i dont care if the angels were ripped appart, And It is difficult to explain to non religious people, angels might be seen as fairy tales, as children's bedtime stories. But some people actually legitimately pray to angels. Some people fully believe in them. Angels are something that is sacred to some people. You wouldnt have a house with a hurt jesus or Buddha or something. I can see why someone at uni got cold feet. People might not care about regular gore. Its complicated. Im actually surprised universal had the balls to create a house with fully satanic creatures. I remember years ago ( in the vault) when people suggested a satan based house people said it was a bad idea.

I could see some people being freaked out by the carnage Yeah, that's what I was thinking. The very first corpse in the house is wearing chain mail, is holding a sword, and has long blonde hair. There's nobody else it could be. There's also some later bodies that have noticeably been set up to look like their wings were ripped off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenjaminNicholas Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 (edited) Devil's advocate or not, the celebration of a Halloween event like this should be enough to keep most bible bangers away. Aren't these the same folks who refuse to celebrate this kind of thing anyway? Don't sanitize my horror. Don't play politics with my houses. If it's frightening, LEAVE IT BE. I'm a liberal, but this is some serious snowflake bullshit. Go to The Holy Land Experience if you want that. Let us have HHN.

Lol Like i said, the corpses are still there, the mutilation is still there. Theres absolutely no " sanitation" whatsoever. U still get a hellraiser style house with a lot of scary demons torturing and cutting up humans. There really is not any sanitation at all. Even the ending has all these dead bodies, like an altar of death. If u want blood, u get it. Simple as that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halloween, sort of, is all about embracing your inner demon. I purposely go to the event to see death and carnage. That being said, I didn't get to visit this house on Friday. I'll check 'er on out Thursday. Your description sounds pretty cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clash Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 The gore is there. I notice They reuse the props from the chance scarezone. Some people say the house has no story or that the story got messed up, but to me it still has a good story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just this year but now going back multiple years. I watched HHNH's Saw house walk through and wondered why Orlando's couldn't be like that. Or is it just me?

I think it depends on the subject of the house. There has been a reduction over the years, but the fallen is the goriest house this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhHaiInternet95 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 ^I mainly just pretend anything after season five didn't happen. It's great that people still enjoy it, but seasons 1-5 is my favorite show. But basically, the angels are just as bad as the demons (sans Castiel).
