We Finally Learned About Halloween Horror Nights' 'Bloodiest' House This Year, And I Am Pumped (Exclusive)

It’s cool to hear this will be the gore house. I’m expecting this to be one of the scariest houses of the year

Seems like an interesting house. Is giving me Desendents vibes by the key art.

Seems like they’re giving one original to different sites to debut

For sure

"We think this house is going to be one of the most aggressive in the event… I think this one is gonna be that intense, very bloody, very in your face, very intense attacking, kind of scare level. These are tribes of cannibals. They just need to eat. And you their food. It's a conga line of food that's coming into their kazoo."

I'm anticipating a lot of the scares from Halloween from HHN 31 (room of Michael Myers), Insidious from HHN 33 (the Lipstick demon popouts and the finale), and HHN 34's Jason Universe gauntlet. Easily this is my most anticipated Original House this year.

RUN is seen sprayed painted on the wall in the key art, could that be an easter egg to Eddie/RUN?

Before anyone starts the "HHN is copying KSF again" conversation:

This idea came out of every year we do a brainstorm week where we have scenic designers, character designers, show directors all come to the table with every idea they can think of. No idea is a bad idea. And last April, we had that meeting and one of our newer scenic designers had the idea for this post-apocalyptic zoo that was infested by this tribe of cannibals because animals were instinct. Humans are cannibals, and they took on the tropes and traits of the animals that once lived in this post apocalyptic zoo... And, we just said 'This is a home run.'

Seems like HHN has been working on this house for well over a year, long before KSF announced it was doing its own zoo house.

And it's entirely plausible that an idea/theme can be conjured at the same time by two unrelated teams and execute said idea in a completely different direction. I'm sure this house will be fun to repeat over at least once.

I could see this being the "pretty sets" house this year as well.

I mean, the human totem pole from Bloodmoon and what happened to Sergio at the end of El Artista could certainly be viewed as such in a certain way...

Logo has Warriors vibes tbh.

Is the logo red paint or blood?

Devils advocate: Even if it is a idea KSF used and they are "copying", they would never outwardly admit that.



I don't think this is the case however.

 

[RGMick77]

Their original post-apocalyptic house concepts tend to be pretty good. I hope that the zoo setting helps it stand apart from previous iterations.

I’m still having a hard time picturing how this will play out, so I’ll regard it with cautious optimism and it will stay on the lower half of my hype list for now.

I’m afraid of the smells.
