KevinR1990 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 (edited) What sticks out to me is that this is the first zombie house they've done in years that isn't The Walking Dead. It feels like just yesterday when they had every Orlando scarezone be Walking Dead-themed. My, how the mighty have fallen. And for some reason, the idea of a "Paris overrun by zombies" house reminds me of Killing Floor 2. Edited April 26, 2018 by KevinR1990 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But would at least involve the catacombs of Paris. And it would involve helmet lights. But I think the house would cost more than the movie grossed... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ringwraith Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 (edited) Is anyone worried they're going to dumb the house down to where you're no longer "blind?" I just feel like the GP will complain about not being able to see or that the lines will get so backed up because for some reason people like to go through a house slower when it's scarier. Other than that, I'm super pumped to see A&D's version of Paris, considering they ROCKED the bayou last year. Side note: I'm pretty sure we're going to get to walk through the Metro de Paris, based on the signage in the teaser. And the fact that it's the best "hiding spot" to get away from the outbreak.

Other than that, I'm super pumped to see A&D's version of Paris, considering they ROCKED the bayou last year. Well, the biggest problem (for me) with DE was that darkness + objects painted with white fluorescent paint = zero detail. So one the on hand they are promising the beauty of Paris and yet utter darkness. And since there has to be flashes of light, what's the point of adding detail when no one will have a chance to see it. This is the conundrum... I mean, they could have just as easily set this in Carey, OH. They chose Paris for a reason, and saying we are in Paris with no detailed sets is pointless. We also aren't sure if we are going to be in the streets of Paris, overrun with zombies or in the catacombs, or both. They COULD do a cop out like they did in DE and have the first room be a highly detailed non-darkness entrance into the catacombs and the exit be a highly detailed non-darkness scene outdoors. I'm painting that as a negative, but a whole lotta people loved that. And I for one am totally convinced of the overarching 80's theme to the event, because there is no reason to arbitrarily set this house in 1983. 7 minutes ago, terracruentus said: i honestly thought of 28 weeks later, specifically the very ending of it, but good catch on as above so below. i never finished it but in my defense i get nauseous watching found footage films so i had to turn it off Spoiler alert. Almost everyone dies except for one person. Super great twist, as we've NEVER seen that in a horror movie before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, if they already have TrT, which is probable and one I'd really love to see, and with ST being more family targeted, I don't think they'd want to do too many non-scary houses.

But it would be cool to see HRB hosting the best of the HHN original comedic houses of the past: Leave it to Cleaver Zombiegeddon Home for the Holidays Creatures Giggles and Gore Arguably Nuked Las Vegas I've posted my idea before, but basically: After being sent to Hellgate Prison for the horrific murder of his producer, everyone's favorite horror host has led an inmate uprising, taking the guards hostage as he broadcasts a classic monster special! He would torture the guards in ways relating to classic monsters: bleed to death for Dracula, electric chair for Frankenstein, mummification for...well...The Mummy, etc. I could get behind your idea, too. Of course, I think TOO many light-hearted houses and zones can be...well...too many. We have ST and likely TrT, maybe a Vamp '55 sequel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jediwhit82 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I agree three light hearted is too many. Dead Exposure will not have that problem though. I think it’s going to be a fantastic house, in terms of movies 28 days later was what I thought of, especially the shot of the monkey. i hope we get that nice distorted alarm sound from the trailer at the entrance of the house. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DraculaTeeth Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I got the DE news in Universal today and it sounds amazing. I’m not sure if it’ll be something I can do (my eyes don’t adjust to darkness well at all) but if not I’ll look forward to reading about it in everyone’s reviews! I’m so glad it’s set in the 80’s too-if this ends up being an 80’s theme I think it’s really gonna be incredible! 34 minutes ago, TheRobcat said: I think rag-tag could be Nightmare on Elm Street 3.

I actually thought for a minute Dynamite could have been ANoES simply cause dynamite=explosion=fire=Freddy but I’m sure I’m wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legacy Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Kinda obligated to bring this over... Let me try to share some information to feed speculation without giving away the goat. - I've heard about a new house location this year. - Including Dead Exposure, I've heard details on five potential originals. One is extremely likely (95%). One is very likely (85%). I have no reason to doubt the other two yet. - I can see one of the potential originals MAYBE actually being an IP. - I'm confident (90%) on two unannounced IPs. - I'm 75% confident on one other IP. - There are 2 IPs I'm 50/50 on. - Everything else, including some expected favorites, I'd chalk as longshots. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The return of Dr Cut n'Paste (from me on IU) Man, it really sounds like a 10th house is possible and going from 2 originals to 5 possible originals is crazy in a good way. The two 90% IPs must be AHS and TrT 75% I'm going with a NoES, hopefully 3 50% Halloween 50%I have no idea. I'll just say Lost Boys because I like it better than Poltergeist. Romero scare zone? As for originals, I haven't a clue and can't wait to discover more. Your use of "goat" makes me think of The Witch Also, feed, goat... snacks... I really want a Jurassic World maze.

I, too, read this and thought - so, more than 9 houses?? I mean, to have 5 originals (already doing the Snoopy happy dance with that thought), you'd think they'd have to balance it with 5 IP houses. Not that I'm saying that HAVE to.. I don't really care. i'd take 7 originals and 2 IPs. One of the two unannounced IPs HAS to be Halloween. No one will convince me this is not happening.. not with a 40th anniversary of a classic movie with a new one set to hit in October. No way. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extra confirmation of this: I peeked when we were getting into line at MiB yesterday and nothing was there. However I don’t know the logistics of the tents, and whether or not they go up and down every year for the event. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
