Yeah I guess.... just tired of it using up space. Its the new Walking Dead IPO

Hey, at least they're not using it as the headliner like they've done with TWD in the past.

So based on what we know-what houses do you think are going to be the “scarier” ones? I know we won’t really know until it all opens and we see the casts, etc. but I love the houses that are super scary! I love a good design-but I still look for the scares.

@Legacy I know your ranking is more based on the design front, but heard any grumblings about what houses seem to be the ones with bigger scares or which houses they think will be their scariest?

 

Orlando isn't really known for their scares and they don't have to be. However, like most years, I anticipate the IP houses being the least scary, because they are worried about saying certain things or acting in a specific manner. Whereas the originals have more of an attack mode.

so since we don't have much to speculate now. what scenes do you guys wanna see in the houses?

Based on the Midsummer Scream panel, I want to see how they set up the school bus massacre. A very intriguing image came from that panel.

The only problem is ours has The First Purge. 

(Also, off-topic but whatever happened to The Conjuring? Wasn't it gonna be a house this year, but once again had to get scrapped?) 

@Legacy and I have some conflicting info for this one. A source I have, more on the build side of things said "we had it then lost it again." That could really mean anything and it could have been a rumor amongst that group; who knows?

So Im in Chicago and my mom lives in Orlando and met a cast member yesterday at her dog grooming spot. Confirmed poltergeist, halloween4 and most of the others. Also stated how pissed universal is that the leak happened.

Yep. Something tells me somebody's getting fired for that poster being put up early.
A friend of mine who was a scareactor last year (In the scarezone Altars of Horror, he was one of the Purgers) has been cast again this year, this time in a House. He said he couldn't say yet which House he'd be in, mainly because he himself didn't know it yet!

It wasn't a Universal employee who did it. It happens.

Its true. It happens every year when dealing with IPs... and everyone is always "OMG! Someone is going to get fired! Universal is pissed! Etc etc etc etc"... But guess what? Nothing changes because Universal never learns. They insist on using IPs, then wait 1,000 years to announce it, but their own promo material (which has to be out at a certain time in order to promote the event) ends up making the announcement for them. Or there are the cases like "The Shining" last year with the travel agency.

Update!

Clue Set 1 – “Babylegs” (Announced Dead Exposure: Patient Zero/Codename Zero)

https://masterofallscience.com/video/S01E08/q36gFUxzTwP3g-kcTBbU85FfoaA=.gif

https://masterofallscience.com/video/S01E08/E-iboRmcdE_CmKZMaK3OLFWY7U0=.gif

Rule – Word Exchange

Solution – In Part 1, the word “Detective” is replaced by the word “Cop.” A Detective is similar to a Private Investigator. Boris Schuster, the protagonists of Dead Exposure in 2008 was a PI. In Part 2, “Daddy Legs” replaces “Regular Legs” to key on a replaced word.

 

Clue Set 2 – “Mind Blowers” (Announced Trick R Treat/Codename Dynamite)

https://masterofallscience.com/video/S03E08/wPNxfU_TWkVEtOhez8ka_gwO7GU=.gif

Rule – Word count

Solution – Counting the words in each line of the clue gives you 4-2-2. This translates to a time of 4 minutes, 22 seconds (it’s the only option in a 30 minute show). At that time mark in the Rick and Morty episode “Morty’s Mind Blowers,” Rick states “They don't all have titles, though. It's not a "Simpsons" Halloween special, more like a clip show made of clips you never saw!”

 

The movie Trick R Treat, as an anthology, is ‘like a clip show,’ dedicated to Halloween.

 

Clue Set 3 – “Dammit Jerry” (Announced as Carnival Graveyard: Rust in Pieces/Codename Rag-tag)

https://masterofallscience.com/video/S02E06/pZUsQfuhnqxF7JO7l010rSOldas=.gif

https://masterofallscience.com/video/S01E07/A1YZKl_tTWPNlxcFIbhFD_pxlq0=.gif

https://masterofallscience.com/video/S03E05/mSjhEL39unrtvjFFhjTD2bf3Yw8=.gif

 

Rule – Elements of Story

Solution – The elements of story are: Plot, Character, Setting, and Theme. The gifs present the first three things in that order (“theme” is not traditionally considered in a haunted house). The Plot is to escape (expressed in the gif).  The second gif alludes to the “Character” – The “easy target” Rick and Jerry reference in the episode is the Insane Clown Posse. The third gif is, literally, a destroyed carnival ride (the Whirly Dirly). In the house, we are escaping insane “clowns” (carnies, specifically) through a destroyed carnival.

 

Clue 4 – “Saving Rick” (Spoiled by Legacy as Poltergeist/Codename Coach)

https://masterofallscience.com/video/S03E01/43-0myzkor8MU6r9QG0fIDh-oZ4=.gif

 

Rule – Context

Solution – This one… should be pretty obvious.  The context of the scene is summer, digging up a Rick’s decaying corpse from the back yard (during a storm) so she can open a portal to save a family member.  In Poltergeist, corpses are found in the backyard and they open a portal to save a family member.

 

Clue 5 – “Pink” (Spoiled by Legacy as Scary Tales: Deadly Ever After/Codename Poison)

https://masterofallscience.com/video/S03E09/q2MRHgCy4sv2x_QVwbaJKGwXqnc=.gif

https://masterofallscience.com/video/S03E09/UmaCc-rDTwLqBm4QzY5-cxOJmjI=.gif

https://masterofallscience.com/video/S03E09/o2KhY4SN0_O_NK8aNfE_osgrebo=.gif

Rule – Analogy

Solution – All the dialogue in this series is irrelevant. They’re red herrings, and the clues more story-centric (I got the story for this house, but not the title, which made it a bit difficult).  It also requires some understanding of the episode. Froopy Land is an “imaginary” place from Beth’s (Rick’s daughter) childhood.  Entry into this land is through a rainbow portal, and Froopy Land is now ruled by “King Tommy” a childhood friend of Beth that has been trapped there for decades (like the Wizard). During the episode, Beth returns and ends up killing the denizens of Froopy Land and overthrowing Tommy.

 

It’s not Oz. Froopy Land is not Oz. But this house features a Wicked Witch (Beth) “breaking” the rainbow barrier and killing everyone who lives there. So, it’s an analogy.

 

Clue 6 – “Pickle” (Announced as Seeds of Extinction/Codename Meteor)

https://masterofallscience.com/video/S03E03/ku5PBVj7j3nDcsYp1FKI4D9uWuc=.gif

 

Rule – None

Solution – In the clue, Rick is a pickle.  More specifically a living cucumber, that ends up killing everyone.  And a cucumber is a type of plant.  And in this house, the plants are killing everybody.

 

Clue 7 – “Nihilism”

https://masterofallscience.com/video/S02E07/HSUJbtUoZNvLfxrjwD2dY-SG3AY=.gif

Rule – Sleight

Clue 8 – “Ship” (Announced Slaughter Sinema/Codename Snacks)

https://masterofallscience.com/video/S03E02/D_K2Pse2xzlS7e8w7YNl184z5LA=.gif

https://masterofallscience.com/video/S02E05/Kcxn8Jcnjvtm6oN9RhnoS5RIDUM=.gif

https://masterofallscience.com/video/S02E02/4mHot7mQPIXy5uJTfoLVh8znsr0=.gif

 

Rule – Disarray

Solution – There’s a lot of gifs for this because, obstensibly, it’s a mash-up (9 total gifs for 9 scenes). Gifs 1 & 3-8 are all movie parodies/references specific to sci-fi or horror films (schlock staples). Gif number 2 is a bit of a cheat, as it indirectly relates to a scene in the house. In Gif 9 (Grandpa and the Government), the words don’t matter. The ship itself has driven into the facility, just like you would a drive-in.

 

Clue Set 9 – “Crow” (Spoiled by Hilton Hotels as Halloween 4/Codename “Feature”)

https://masterofallscience.com/video/S02E02/b4MiiVti6-jstB4bpKBT6qyi22s=.gif

 

Rule – Dig

Solution – The clue name, is a reference to “Eating crow.”  The “destination” in the clue isn’t a place, it’s a person named Krombolulos Michael.  And who is Krombopulos Michael? He’s an assassin who famously said, “I have no code of ethics. I will kill anyone, anywhere. Children, animals, old people, doesn’t matter. I just love killing.”

Meteor 

Carnival Graveyard: Rust in Pieces - Seriously, the names this year are on point. Vast improvement. This was one of the houses I first started hearing about; specifically that it would be built almost entirely out of props and curtains. It should give it a very "open" and organic feeling that they have never done before. The big question will be, does it actually "work."

Surprise

Coach

Trick R Treat - There's a couple of fantastic set-pieces at the tale end of this, but I feel like other segments of the movie aren't really getting their due. It'll be a quality house. I'm just not as intrigued by it as what's above it.

Slaughter Sinema - Despite the fantastic name and fun concept, this suffers from humor. I am not, and never really will be, a fan of comedy houses. Even though they are decidedly striving to be not funny with this house, it's going to be funny. It's a personal taste thing.

Dead Exposure: Patient Zero - We've seen this all before. Audio selection should be fun though, especially in the first scene.

Stranger Things - This, in theory, should be higher. It's not for a reason. I've seen a lot of it and... creative differences.

Poison

Feature

 

 

Okay so since we now know that Feature = Halloween 4, it’s pretty obvious that Surprise is Blumhouse. Therefore, unless Surprise is something else, I’m realllly curious as to why you have Blumhouse as your THIRD anticipated house.

He's mentioned why before: the prospect of a "deja vu" like house with the same room repeated with different scares. But again he's viewing from more of a design prospective.

Never thought of that before....a Deja Vu house could be amazing.  One room with 4 doors, one on each wall, then a trap door on the floor and a skylight on the ceiling.  Walk in from one doorway into the exact same room, but this time you came through what was the rightside door....walk straight through and come out of the skylight and the whole room is sideways...you walk across then go through the hole in the floor into the next room where you come out through the same doorway when you first came in.   Repeat that mindf*** for each room.  That would be soooooooo disorienting!  Have scares coming from the "unused" doorways as well as the ceiling and floor.

 

Something like the disorienting affect from The Cube.  You'd be so focused on the room and figuring it out the scares would really get you.

  I am not shocked by the leak. 

  I think they were going to do a big reveal in two weeks. 
 I think it was emailing or mistake when sent out to the hotel or travel agents. 

 Especially if it was sent digitally. 
 I don't understand why Universal doesn't just release it all now. 
  the month starts within 40 days. 
   I am calling this year of the children.  stranger things, poltergeist, Halloween 4 and trick r treat and curse of the demon baby. 
 
 I am scared for the actors sakes... revealing someone deep dark secret of being attracted to kids. 
  any ways, anyone heard about the extra zone? 

Or the icon yet?

I am sorry so Hollywood's Horrors of Blumhouse is Truth or Dare and Unfriended while Orlando is getting Happy Death Day and The First Purge? Is that right? No third movie for either?

If this is true I will be pretty sad. Hollywood got the better deal. Never saw HDD but heard it was meh. And Purge... loved the scarezone. Still loved it when the brought it back a 2nd time. But the house was meh. And now I’m just sick of it. I like new things, hate repeats.

I disagree Hollywood def didn't get a better deal as they have an entire house dedicated to The First Purge, the Purge is tired at Orlando however I feel it is much worse at Hollywood. Also I haven't seen Truth or Dare and Unfriended but the trailers looked God awful however I could be surprised as I am actually a defender, for now, of Happy Death Day I thought it was a cute fun movie very reminiscent of Scream Queens, tv show. I def give it a thumbs up, if you like the cheeky and bitchy side of horror-camp, like the sassy parts of AHS: Coven.

HDD was actually pretty good, I was hoping they'd make it its own house, but NOPE.

Both time purge has been used in a house...its because thing have been "purged" from the scheduled plan (IE. Ouija and Scream)...and they were put into an already built  scenario...as long as the same thing didn't happen this might technically be the first purge house that was actually meant to be the purge from the jump!

Nothing has been Purged this year.

 

IE - nothing is getting replaced last minute.

Obviously FAR from last minute, but you said they were working on It in December. SEEMS like this was the backup. Thankfully, whatever changes that needed to be made were clearly made in the design phase.

 

Even with potentially more than one light source, is Seeds still your prediction for scariest house (at least from a design perspective)?

Regarding the school bus massacre, it's easy. They don't. They focus on the immediate aftermath.

 

What I'm referring to is the school bus teetering on the edge of the cliff. It was an image I saw and there is a school bus floating around backstage so I'm putting two and two together.
