hunnylvr Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I am thrilled with all this news today - and my FFP w/ Express passes have been purchased... so, for me, it's now official (even thought I've had my airline tix for two months already for all four weekends). I love that it's an 80's year officially.. that's my era! WOO HOO! I am HOPING they have some of the Scarecrow stuff in the Harvest. Scarecrow was one of my top 5 houses of all time! A little taste of it in a zone this year would NOT piss me off. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToxicodendronHEDERA92 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Anybody else read the description for the harvest "An old barn is the setting of every kind of horror." And instantly think of Hershel's barn from the walking dead zone over by Mels? wonder if they'll have anything like that in the zone this year idk about how others felt that year but as a kinda mini maze it seemed to be a bit helpful as a crowd killer every time we went by!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll probably be the same barn so they won't have to pay to build a new one, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ringwraith Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 “Forgotten are the ways of old, traditions blood black and cold. Up through dirt roots grow and burst, evils’ return, you’ll see what came first. When ravens and crows made the night black, pumpkins were carved to keep the evil back. When the howl of the wind sent shivers down spines, graves of our dead covered in vines. When black cats crossed paths and wolves howl, true witches did more than laugh and scowl. Your time has come Nathaniel Crow, outside the box you’ll think, you’ll grow. Terrors traditions in ways you will demand, Halloween’s true self is at hand.” I wonder if this will come into play this year... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxmoser Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 And 10 houses? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlegreenghouls Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Let be honest, I think it would work out better if Aov is at animal actor's. If they had more space for scarezone it would be great. I think there might be overarching theme beside 80's Maybe Ailleo scarecrow icon that could worked last year. It will work much better this year after the well respond of scare crow house.

Drummanmatt Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Well with the crappy exchange rate (thanks Brexit) I’m thinking express pass is too pricey to justify. So looking at frequent fear plus and an RIP tour instead (as that was pretty good last year). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombieman Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Hey, I've been in a training class for the past three days, where they taught me how to do the job I've been doing for 12 years. Did I miss anything while I was away? Partial jest. I was in training. And it was yet another "how to manage effectively" class. Rather than posting my usual TLDR reaction to the announcements: Ten houses ... ...which means more originals Scarezones 80's theme for event ROF+Express returning AOV replacing B&T 2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerkytime Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I was told earlier today AOV is definitely going in FFL. It's gonna take them longer to load the place than the length of the show lol. On the upside, at least it won't be jam-packed in there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeoriaBJJ Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I know Im in the minority here but I watched AoV on my first night in 2016 and that was enough. I didnt bother last year.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killswitch22 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 While I love AoV and what they do year after year. I would really like to see something bigger at fear factor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WannabeIcon Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Universal probably promised them a permanent safe location, after the debacle with the stage last year!! I think AOV will be fine in FFL! They can probably even do more that we haven't seen due to location change. As for the second show?? I'm assuming it has to be based on an IP??..I feel like we got all the street and show original content in this announcement. Anyone got anything else on it??

From what I gather there is no 2nd show anymore, they decided to give us a 10th house instead, (which I'd prefer anyway). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, hell, I'd prefer an 11th house and no show at all. Or make it an even dozen and take away the Twisted Taters. Hollywood had one year with no show. Heck, with Jabbawokeez I still see Hollywood as having no live show. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeoriaBJJ Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I cant get into dance shows. AoV was okay bc of the horror theme.... but its not my ideal Halloween event show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A&D pitched a second show that didn't get approved. The plan was 2nd Show in FFL OR 10th house and AoV in FFL. That's what I was being told back in January. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just booked my HHN28 trip: ROF+Express Sapphire Falls 9/20-9/24 W/3 park ticket 9/21 6-house UTH tour Now I gotta just book the airfare...

I only tried the garlic flavour last year but keen to try other flavours this time round (though I did hear salt and vinegar flavour was awful). Still think they should do a paprika or Cajun flavoured tater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drummanmatt Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Speaking of scarezones, I’m hoping for three things from Vamp ‘85: 1. Great interactions with guests (like the adventurers club at pleasure island had when that was a thing); 2. Great music, with a Spotify playlist made available of the music in the buildup to the event. They did a generic HHN one last year, so should be an easy win; 3. Actual celebration of “NYE” at midnight with special show. There’s so much potential with this zone I really hope they do it justice. Any ideas where it will be based? Guessing round Mel’s diner, but actually I’d love to see it in New York. Then can have a few different areas for different music tastes, different mini shows, and have motorbikes for a nod to The Lost Boys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
