HHN 31: Hellblock Horror

[Wesker69]

Given all the IP headaches they run into in this new era, I was wondering if they now keep a few plans in reserve, just in case?

That'd be a lot of unnecessary R&D to add onto their already busy schedule. However, they do always have concepts that get shelved for one reason or another that allows them to revisit if the opportunity presents itself.

But I wouldn't say they go out of their way to make "back ups"

Sorry, I was unclear, I guess I was more curious about the layout itself. Like was this a scripted house they had ready to go, one they might have had waiting in the wings for years? Or is this a top to bottom new design?

I don't think we'll have an answer to that till after the event starts and people start talking about development.

Hive wasnt' torn down and rebuilt, it was repuroposed. Same for a lot of the Purge 2015 house (the literal Jiffy Pop scene from Scream). Based on reports this is a complete tear down and rebuild in June, Us had another month of development.

US was fantastic btw for any of you worried. It's fault was that it's concept didn't mesh well with the event structure, but it's designs /costumes were great.

I went though it when it was close to empty, and there were so many unique scares that just didn't work with a conga-line. By making this an absolute madhouse, I expect it to be up to quality. The idea of using what they already have for this is brilliant re-purposing too.

Oh yeah, this wasn't meant to be slight at US, I liked that house too.

No worries, I was just springboarding off your comment for those who didn't experience it

Story-wise, my only real questions are who is running the prison, and where this prison is. Hoping to see that answered in the house.

What does that Guy Richie movie from 2019 have to do with this? You expecting Matthew McConaughey to jump out at us and say "I want my pound of flesh"?

Yeah..... I'm not hearing good things about this.....

It’s… fine Expect lots and lots of fences. Also feels like people are overhyping the “appearances” in their mind compared to what we actually get. Nothing overly recognizable or iconic imo.

So is the setting of the house "outdoors" with lots of fences and then we go inside the prison?

The facade is the prison entrance I believe and then I think we go inside which is where the fences are? I’ve gotta be honest, it’s incredibly unclear what’s going on after one run through of it

They could've really helped this house by having some easily recognizable characters.

 

[Lucky Planet]

i heard "black walls" and comparisons to hollywood...... oh no..

 

[Midnight Detective]

It is so incredibly weird they didn't go with a diversity of creatures
