Halloween Horror Nights 27 General Discussion

[Thiago]

I think it works better as a zone personally. However, I don't think that rumor is true. But who knows.

I really hope it is true because it would make for a really good zone.

Hello all! First time posting here (long time reader) but I needed to escape nightmares for a moment in all its chaos over B&T (roadkill013 over there). Question, if this year is successful and well received could we see more years to come with a higher original house to IP ratio than the past few years? also side note thank you to everyone on here for keeping the spec alive. I'm a huge HHN fan and its fun to see how rumors and speculation grow and change over the months.

First off, welcome!

Second, I think we've seen that IP's can cause a bit of headache with marketing, and even getting them to open at the event (a la Scream, Werewolf in 2012). There is also the case of what big IP's are left to use. We've seen in recent years that the event works best when it's an a mixed bag; so I'd wager heading forward you may see more focus on originals - or at least the balance tipping more in their favor.

I think it'd be kinda cool for TrT zone to have four rotations a la All Night Die In.

Bummer, It was my first thought that USO should produce a production quality vid of the last show. Would be one for the archives. And you tube - yea leakers!

They need to hire someone to just come up with names for stuff... :frustrated"

That a general quote, or did you hear about the remaining names we don't know?

 

[JMalez]

I thought that too with "The games of Jigsaw"

Yes? Aside from the IPs, two house and one zone have real quality names. The others range from lazy to bad.

Shoulda phrased that better. :bonk:

I'm mainly curious about the name of the Angels / Demons house and the "IP Icons" zone.

 

[JMalez]

I hope the name isn't "Angels vs Demons"...

 

[ChaseTuff]

Hoping but not expecting a Paradise Lost reference.

 

[JMalez]

That would be cool. Got anything specific in mind?
Im thinking Legacy's two are "Harvest of Souls" and whatever Bayou ends up being (if it's not actually dead waters)

Unfortunately I'm just as "naming things" savvy as the guy who does them for Universal is.

I'm going to the agree with those two since I'm doing mental gymnastics on the other two originals.

Are you able to say which house code names you believe have the quality names?

 

[Legacy]

Alright then. Houses I'm only 65% sure on. Zones I'm 100%.

Houses
Angels vs Demons - I dig the name (if it's accurate). Not too creative, but effective and memorable.
Voodoo - Dig it.
Scarecrow - Lazy bad.
Vampires - Lazy, but it works.

Zones
Avenue of the Stars - Great name. Right up my alley.
Hollywood - Terrible.
San Fran - Lazy

 

[JMalez]

The map has the IP zone at Ave of stars right?

 

[JMalez]

Is scarecrow worse than "Harvest of Souls" wouldve been? i kinda like that name

 

[Returning-The-Reaction]

In my opinion, yes.

"IP zone" is a bit of a misnomer. These names are things not based on an IP.

If it's what I think it is? Yeah.
