Yeah, but Bunny said it was the first time the Purge house was built for the Purge property. 25's Purge was a last-minute replacement for Scream. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HHN Pro Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Alright, so now that we have our official map... Why are some of the locations different? -No Entrance by Despicable Me -Two Entrances in Fallon Area -Vamp '85 is the single street rather than it expanding out into other streets 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I just noticed on the map no Simpsons Ride this year. Surprising but I’m gonna assume Fast Food Blvd and the carnival games will still be up and running. Otherwise it’d be really weird if that whole area was dark (like that night last year where the power went out). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themazethinker Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 here's some info that was said in the livestream https://www.pscp.tv/w/1MnxnZmMLoOxO. sorry if some are old news again. strangers things - waffles will be there, gonna see the demogorgon a lot throughout the house, the forest is gonna have mirrors on the walls to make it larger along with mirkwood signs, "in mirkwood, we've done a audio trigger that is gonna relayed later on in the maze, but it tells the same story, but because characters are in difference of space having being recorded further away from each other, you actually get a sense of travel between the characters". poltergeist - you're gonna feel the ghostly presence, seeds of extinction - several camouflage scares in the house, one location in the house is a convenient store. killer klowns - map projection will be used in the zone for shadow puppets , ice cream truck with jumbo on top will be there,on the walls will be the ship and throughout the night the tent will lift up [projection they said], klowns will be huge, popcorn creatures will be there. revenge of chucky - chucky will be a live puppet, couple of characters from the 09 house will be in the zone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is first time the Purge isn’t a last minute switch from something else they had rights issues with I'm well aware that the 25 house had to be "thrown together". However, it doesn't change the actual fact that Purge was a house before. To say otherwise is simply false. It also doesn't change the fact that we've had variations of the Purge for way too many years now. That is my point. Too much of the same thing over and over completely devalues the content, and it sure as hell sucks away any chance of a good scare. I've said this already, but I'll say it again - the presence of this house doesn't change my excitement or my anticipation for this year's event. I'll just skip this one.

Oysterhead00 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Last year we got screwed with the Microsoft night meaning we only got 3 nights with our RoF+Express. This year, we booked a week earlier just to be safe and now we just got a free night...a 5 night weekend Given how awesome the lineup is, this was a great trade off from last year! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since they added the Wednesday before this year's Microsoft event, maybe Microsoft can take the damn Wednesday next year instead, and give those of us who travel for the long weekend a shot at a Thurs - Sat uninterrupted run. This year, I had to take the following Monday off of work, so I could attend Sunday since Thursday was off the table. Annoying when one only has so many vacation days in a year. Although.. at the beginning of the year, my vacation days are assigned for HHN first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And usually - crappy movie, by definition, translates to crappy house. If I don't give a single shit about the property, why would I about the house? Purge is done.. overdone... stick a fork in it. Yeah BoH was pretty terrible. I’m pretty sure I put it at the bottom of my list last year. AvED was close behind it. Purge is definitely overdone. Not as overdone as TWD was but I’m ready for something new. I wish the Blumhouse House was a highlight to just 1 of their films that was released for the year. I said earlier in the thread that I like my houses to have a linear story and Chris called me out by saying I probably didn’t like Silver Screams and All Nite Die-In because they weren’t linear either. But I actually liked those houses, I’m a hypocrite. And I’m ok with that. PS- Hi Chris *tackles* Edit- here is my house ranking list from last year. I guess I did put HoB above AvED. Oh well, they were both bad lol 1. Scarecrow: The Reaping 2. Hive 3. American Horror Story 4. The Fallen 5. Dead Waters 6. Saw 7. The Shinning 8. Horrors of Blumhouse 9.

zombieman Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I have updated the meetup thread to include the two recently added nights. Looks like I'll be adding an extra night to my stay to take advantage of this. It also means I will definitely be going to Howl O Scream this year now that I have an extra night 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be the fact that just don't find that Pig mask to be very scary, but I expected more from it. The scenes were cool, just not what I had expected.

Unfortunately, Microsoft will always end up taking that Thursday night unless they change the dates of their Ignite conference. It is an annual conference and has been in Orlando in recent years unlike other shows that bounce between Orlando and Vegas. They buy the park on the last night of their event to close out the show.
