Death Eaters were announced for us last year, it's Hollywood where they just show up (although they also changed from horde to announcement I believe).Yeah, but they never get announced and just show up.

Death Eaters and potentially something else...

I agree with everyone that the podcast had a kind of whimsical vibe, and it was an interesting choice to make the "twist" at the end of the podcast the thing we all know is the premise of the house. BUT, just because the podcast took this tone does not mean the house will too, IMO. There is a lot of content in the podcast - orcs bringing in the "produce" (aka people) in cages, the haunted forest with the dead goblins installed in the trees, the stew pot with people inside, smashing the human skull to start the feast - that could play as grisly and horrific in a house, and this one felt loaded with "this will be a scene in the house" moments. My take listening was that we get the goblin perspective in the podcast and, then, perhaps the human perspective at the event.I initially thought this would be a scary house, but this feels like Dueling Dragons and very whimsical.
I'm excited about it lol, I loved Dragons! I thought it would have a creepy atmosphere, but if it's kin to Wicked Growth, then I am hyped either way.I guess I'm the only one that lives this idea. I will gladly accept a fantastical house if it's awesome. I'm actually excited about it now
Right! We don't know much about the house and we might get surprised, but I still get that feeling ya know? But that is a great observation too.I agree with everyone that the podcast had a kind of whimsical vibe, and it was an interesting choice to make the "twist" at the end of the podcast the thing we all know is the premise of the house.

That’s exactly what I’m feeling. The podcast was mystical and whimsical, but the goblins are talking about the feast like it’s their thanksgiving/4th of july. I’m sure a turkey wouldn’t have very nice things to say about thanksgiving lolMy take listening was that we get the goblin perspective in the podcast and, then, perhaps the human perspective at the event.
we need a Thanksgiving houseThat’s exactly what I’m feeling. The podcast was mystical and whimsical, but the goblins are talking about the feast like it’s their thanksgiving/4th of july. I’m sure a turkey wouldn’t have very nice things to say about thanksgiving lol
As amar831 excellently put it, the turkey would not find Thanksgiving a cheery festival. While there is ghoulish humor in the comparison, I also think it makes the horror more effective: the goblins are not dumb animals, they have a culture as sophisticated as human society, it just so happens that we humans are livestock rather than peers, and we'll get treated accordingly, with no mercy.This house is going to be awesome (biased) but also I have no doubt that even if its fantastical, it'll still be scary.
On the nose because it's literally comparing Orcs and Orks but something I see people say a lot when discussing Warhammer 40k is how Orks don't fit because they're kind of goofy. In the same vein, I'm seeing a lot of people putting a lot of weight on the silly podcast forgetting that this house is going to be filled with angry monstrous killing machines, smaller green (maybe funny) killing machines, and what sounds like a finely dressed Hobgoblin, who when not selecting a fancy outfit is... probably also a killing machine.
In my humble opinion, it's a bit like saying a clown house won't be scary because clowns are entertainers
As we were leaving the final room I heard "the food is escaping!!!!"I liked this house conceptually. More dialog referring to humans as food or calling out random guests (something like "This one looks delicious!") in addition to the jump scares would've made a difference. I know there's at least one line in the beginning that makes a reference but I don't think it comes up again throughout the house but I could've missed them.
The sets themselves were great except the giant ogre on the screen. That didn't work for me and I completely missed it the first couple of times going through.
