HHN Hollywood Speculation/News - 2015

[Wesker69]

Yes, I think we all know that... or at least we should. And it WILL be Jabbawockeez for the show at HHN.

I think you missed what I was getting at. I was pointing out the reason why their FB post was still up. People are stupid, so when the see the hashtag for "universal studios", they're NOT going to think of HHN, they'll think that its an appearance at Citywalk instead. It wouldn't be hard to believe due to the random concerts/DJ dance parties they do on the 5 Towers stage. So since it doesn't have the "HHN" & "MonSTARZ" hashtags like the Instagram post did, it doesn't have to be removed.

Hearing that scream will be the terror tram,Others say purge,& wesker says minion spooktacular,Don't know which is right .Lol

 

[Alexshow.]

...Where did you hear Scream? And also, Minion Spooktacular is a joke..

 

[chris.g]

Scream is no way going to be this years Terror Tram, especially with the people I already know hired for this year's theme.

 

[Alexshow.]

And ontop of that..didn't Scream not pan well in 2011? As i'm sure it failed in reviews and general consensus.

 

[Aaron]

Maybe Wesker or Galindoverhere can clear this up but I've been hearing back and forth that AVP would be recieving some significant changes/improvements, mainly in the middle portion in the forest and house. Can anyone confirm?

 

[Wesker69]

Also the fact that Murdy apparently didn't even want to do Scream.... I can't remember what the fanboy rumblings were with that. But yea, we're not getting "Scream" for Terror Tram, why that would even be brought up is beyond me. Only Orlando is doing Scream (like FvsJ). Pretty sure me or Galindoverhere would've gotten wind of such a change...

Speaking of Scream (totally off topic btw), as a big fan of the film franchise, I have to say I'm enjoying the new MTV tv series. Its different, but it works. The producers & whatnot of the films are involved in some capacity, so that helps. It will have a 2nd season. And while I don't "love" the new mask, I will admit it has a bit creep out factor when seen in action/on screen. I'm curious to see how the show evolves since it is an interesting (but slightly meh) reinvention. The dude doing Ghostface's voice is great & I get a stupid grin on my face when there is a phone call scene  

Could the tv series work as a maze? Yes.

Would I want to see it happen? eh, I would much rather see HHN take on MTV's Teen Wolf. More monster/scare variety to play with.

okay, back to our regularly scheduled HHN 2015 discussion...

^^ As for AvP, I'm hearing yes, and that the forest scene may have been scrapped all together. But it will be significantly different from last year's, although the queen is returning as far as I know. 

 

[Wesker69]

I haven't really looked into anything yet, I've been slacking on the info digging but I will see what I can find out. Its mostly been Halloween/Potter related on my end lately.

I'm not sure how I feel about the forest being scrapped or not. I liked the one Predator scare since it did get me a few times. It is definitely good to hear that they're going to change up the maze though. The Alien Queen will definitely be in the maze, there is no way that amazing puppet would not return.

The ONLY change I would love to see done with the AVP maze (that won't happen unfortunately) is that ALL aliens (minus the queen) are replaced with scareactors in Alien costumes.

 

[Aaron]

Yea, Alien Queen is returning considering how much money Boneyard spent to make it. Has anyone heard about the PredAlien? There was so many nods to him in last year's maze yet he was nowhere to be found. It was so bizzare.

 

[Wesker69]

I'll ask.. but unfortunately(?), I'm more likely to find out prop/set info more than I am costume info (which I'm sure the Predalien falls under). I'll see what I can find out though & while I'm at it, I'll also try to pry for some SZ info too...

 

[Ryan]

Jabber is leaving Luxor but going to another hotel in LV (forget which one exactly). This will be a new show, if true.

MGM Grand in December. The Vegas troupe will be at USH during their hiatus.

 

[Deputy Dumb]

What are the chances "This Is The End" would be announced at ScareLA? That way Murdy and Chris can address all potential groans and rumblings right then and there. He could showcase props, sketches of the scareactors, and give some kind of noteworthy insight to generate positive buzz.

 

[Alexshow.]

John has stated that RockFestival will be at ScareLA. So its best to assume Halloweens next.

 

[Wesker69]

I asked about AVP... they haven't seen the blueprints or anything, but they heard it was supposed to be same as last year. Which wouldn't surprise me if it ended up not really having any changes, but we'll see what happens.

Considering how underwhelming AVP was last year besides the Queen, this would be unfortunate if true. Lots of room for improvement there.

 

[Wesker69]

I wouldn't say AVP was underwhelming, sure it had its weak spots throughout the maze... but it still had quite a few good scares (when timed right). Orlando had the underwhelming AVP house compared to us, we at least had actual "Alien vs Predator" scare scenes. The chestburster & facehugger scareactors (not the facehuggers that attacked the windows) were underwhelming though. I do agree that this maze has major room for improvement, but I don't expect it to be improved..

As I said before, it would probably be better if the Aliens were scareactors rather than puppets but eh..

 

[chris.g]

^ You may be in luck. Got info that we may be getting more Alien scare actors this year. PredAlien has apparently also been thrown around, but no confirmation on that.

 

[Aaron]

Can't they just reskin the AWIL puppets to the Xenomorphs like Orlando?

 

[Wesker69]

I don't even think that is possible.... they're two drastically different creatures. Besides, those AWIL puppets were beyond awful, but then again the puppeteers didn't help the issue either. I think some of the wolves looked "broken". *shrugs* If we had Orlando's puppeteers, most of Hollywood's scareactors, and mostly Orlando's house layout... AWIL would've been pretty much perfect last year.

Anyway got sidetracked.. more puppets = bad idea when the puppeteers don't know how to operate them well enough due to lack of enough training. Of course, it was pretty bad when you could tell the Aliens were basically hanging on a rack like clothes. Haha... I don't know why I'm so overly critical about the puppets lol
