Just like others, while this wasn't my favorite scene in Slaughter Sinema 2, nor the first choice on a scene to be turned into a full-blown house...Hatchet and Chains do have a lot of potential here! Heck, this is a theme that'll probably benefit from a full house than just a scene!
As discussed way back when this was first rumored, we really don't get western houses at the event save for Ghost Town, so the theme alone stands out and diversifies the lineup. While I would've loved a Mardi Gras Murders house, I do accept that it probably wouldn't have been a good choice in a year which has two very notable IP slashers.
Anticipation wise, I can see this one being more in the middle, perhaps a little lower on my list. But that's only due to other themes I really like taking preference. I'm still very much looking forward to this one, I can see it being a nice action-adventure kind of house.
I didn't experience SS2 last year- are Hatchet and Chains the "heroes" in this story?
Yeah, they're definitely the hero/anti-heroes of the story. Hatchet is a Demon (as the poster definitely shows with his face), and Chains is mortal. Both are working together going after other demons.
Wow the art is amazing!
Feel like this may be the sleeper…
Yanno', considering the reception the scene got last year, this house could be a pleasant surprise and a sleeper in terms of the originals. (Overall however...well the WWE house is probably the biggest no-brainer for a sleeper hit/dark horse this year.)
