Not really for this year but I wonder if we’ll see a “Horrors of Netflix” down the line. John seems to be taking a big in Haunting of Hill House
I've mentioned it a few times. It Follows, The Ritual, Babadook and Gerald's Game feels like a decent lineup for a solid maze; one or two house facades for It Follows and a puppet for the Ritual would be the most expensive thing, I bet. Maybe a ToT style opening where a guy gets a nightmare watching the Netflix originals.
Haunting of Hill House feels like a logical step forward for HHN, especially with HMH muscling into the scene. It's a fairly prominent IP with massive reach, and it's filled with delicious, delicious characters that you can build a maze out of (thus no Poltergeist or Shining character deficits). Plus, it means that Netflix's massive, massive,
massive library is opened up for HHN. That could last them years.
A Hill House maze would definitely feel very "Crimson Peaks"-y, with massive sets and beautiful details, plus a few "outside" scenes like the morgue. It has the potential to be legendary, tbh.
Would be weird to see glowing door and then some coffins, then go back to a guy ripping his face off, but who knows, stranger things have happened at HHN haha
Maybe they figured it'd be repetitive with the coffins at the end also? And I believe there's a glowing door elsewhere in the maze but it doesn't have a scare associated with it (I might be thinking of the Orlando video, I can't remember).
It really is a shame. But I think it goes to show that not every black wall of death was designed into a maze and sometimes "things just happen."
Face-Peely's a good character, and the actors really went for it. I loved him in the maze; he could've popped out a door during the "disappearing walls" scene. And yeah, it might've been slightly repetitive to have coffins show up again, but it could also have been that they don't move, and they were just a distraction scare for Marty McFlay.
Glowing Door is Orlando, I think. Would've been a neat bit of eye candy in or maze, or even a set-em-up scare with a drop panel to the left or something. Who knows?
