Halloween Horror Nights '19 General Discussion

[DJIndy49]

HOTC hadn't even started filming until 2000. In 99 and 2000 a Murdy-less HHN did unrelated Rob Zombie mazes. Despite what Wikipedia says I remember 2000 being Rob Zombie's American Nightmare and not an actual HOTC maze.

i guess i messed it up slightly, but it still did happen. here's some images for proof

Spoiler: images from house

Gas Station Lobby:

I did some digging and you are correct sort of. The pics you posted are from 99 and it was The Chilling World of Rob Zombie and the work he did in that maze became the basis for HOTC the film. 2000 maze was supposed to be HOTC but due to Zombie buying back the rights the maze was renamed "American Nightmare" and parts were changed to not spoil the film.

Found a great video here: that talks about them.

I was at 2000 and remember a more generic maze.

I’ve gotta ask: has anyone requested Murdy a Momo maze? I’m impressed no one has asked that yet. Maybe the GP is getting slightly smarter. lol

Give it some time before the inevitable Momo horror movie comes out lol..

J-horror at HHN? works for me!

EDIT: guys, Last of Us 2 comes out October 2019, and if they ever do another video game house, I can't think of a better promotion opportunity.

Original or classic he wanted to do?

 

[Kadath]

Two of the tents say ST1 and ST2, could this be confirmation for having a house for each season currently out, or possibly be a combination of seasons 1 and 2 into one final house?

ST in this case = sprung tent

(And this is the Hollywood side, BTW.)

Makes me think The Thing.

The Thing’s been featured at HHN before

While the prequel of the same name came in 2011, the 1982 fan favorite version has never made it to HHN

Yeah, but when Murdy says he’s happy to finally bring this to hhn, I hope he’s not talking about a different version of something that’s already been done.

 

[DJIndy49]

I agree this isn't The Thing.

 

[MacMillian Crew]

If this year is gonna be a year where the budget is negatively affected, I definitely don't want John Carpenter's The Thing to be at the event this year.

 

[rageofthegods]

BTW, I'm not gonna spoil Us if you don't want it spoiled, but from what I hear it is insane and full of maze material. It could actually be a maze in-itself, no HoB layout required.

As long as Peele says yes to granting rights it should be good to go. Wouldn’t doubt if Murdy did a Blumhouse with 2 properties(HDD2U + Us) but a solo Jordan Peele maze would be a big draw.

You know, sometimes I wish Uni would just suck it up, disregard the “social commentary” concern, and let Peele work with HHN to do a house. I would love to see a house with Get Out or Us (Even with what little was seen from the trailer).

The good news for that at least is Peele has said that Us isn't particularly politically focused, and is more of a straight up horror film than Get Out, so the chances of getting Us at least are pretty decent.

 

[MacMillian Crew]

The fact that Get Out was off the table for socio-political reasons, but The First Purge was one of the first few mazes announced will always irk me. Granted they had to cut out a lot of stuff from the film for obvious reasons in the maze, and it clearly showed, but still. I don't think it would've killed them to maybe include Get Out in HoB 2 to fill up the blackout rooms.
