I expect hot and cold rooms but other than that no real effects. I'm with Chris, hope it's not just killings and then a switch off ending. Oh and another hope, giant people playing Jason. Gotta be big and towering
It amazes me that many of you here actually watch these B flicks more than once and memorize the scenes.
Some of us are horror hounds year round.
Yeah, he's right about that. Us weirdos can actually tell you the difference between seemingly trivial things like Friday the 13th Part IV (YAY!) and Friday the 13th Part V (BOOOOO!).
The Orfanage in 2010/HHN XX - It was nothing grand.
I doubt you get real fire effects for this.
Horror is a big tent. It isn't all scary. Some of it is just over the top and silly.
Well horror itself isn't scary anymore, the last horror movie that scared me was the babadook and that's indie. Freddy and Jason evolved into comedic territories, it's gonna be a fun house by it's source material witch in my opinion is the best excuse for it
Well there are scary movies still out there, it's just horror itself has now turned into the fun genre of film where anything goes. Freddy and Jason were always fun, many will disagree with me there but there was always a sense of campiness with both that only grew overtime. I'm not saying horror nights should give up on being scary, hell I don't think they have, I'm just saying your not gonna get scary from these charactersSo, because horror "isn't scary any more" Halloween Horror Nights should give up on being scary? Really?
The Babadook came out last year. It Follows came out after that. Insidious Chapter 3 just came out and was pretty freaky.
What are you talking about?
Freddy vs. Jason certainly entered campy territory by the end, but if they're shooting to isolate the characters for the first two thirds of the maze, it should be high-octane scary.

As someone who spends a lot of time among horror filmmakers and fans, I'd say you are very, very wrong. Horror comedy has emerged as a defined subgenre, but it is by no means the "only" one.
No denying each franchise got increasingly campy, and that FvJ played that up in moments. But if you're saying we can't get scariness out of either character, you're displaying ignorance - Camp Blood and Dreamwalkers were apparently terrifying in 2007. Saying we can't expect a similar level of intensity in the "Crystal Lake" and "Boiler Room" sequences is inaccurate.
There were no campy scenes in 2007 in either house. They were designed to be frightening as they were originally intended. Many have the NoES house among their favorites of all-time, and it did make our Top 25 last year (Shameless Plug)
Sorry Cole..
