Also, didn’t we learn during 25 that Jack and Eddie were both born in Shady Brook?
I wonder if this means that Eddie is also undeadAlso, didn’t we learn during 25 that Jack and Eddie were both born in Shady Brook?
Eddie has been retconned so many times I don’t even care.I wonder if this means that Eddie is also undead
Eddie has been retconned so many times I don’t even care.
as shown when he got tired of being a herald and attempted to instigate what was essentially an elaborate d-ck measuring contest to prove he was scarier than his former “master”No, he’s not. He’s essentially a zombie with his own agency. The only thing to ever “summon” him was Fear.
And there was never Eddie as an icon, like he was suppose to be...And his backstory/lore gets less detailed every time lmao.
He went from a sort of interesting horror movie enthusiast, DIY punk-rockesque nemesis of Jack, to a man-shark that would go into a frenzy due to the smell of blood, to just being Jack's brother. He's characterization at this point is less detailed than most of the characters in houses/scarezones.
We've seen so many creative characters and icon worthy designsAnd there was never Eddie as an icon, like he was suppose to be...
Agreed. He was a try-hard, late-90s grunge concept in his original iteration. “Oh, trailer park trash who’s obsessed with horror movies and has a chainsaw.” Compared to even the weakest “named” characters, there’s nothing really interesting about him.We've seen so many creative characters and icon worthy designs
I feel Eddie would feel a bit generic at this point
I'd say Bone was a missed opportunityAgreed. He was a try-hard, late-90s grunge concept in his original iteration. “Oh, trailer park trash who’s obsessed with horror movies and has a chainsaw.” Compared to even the weakest “named” characters, there’s nothing really interesting about him.
Shoot, one-off side characters like Nightmare and The Projectionist are far more interesting characters.
Shoot. I’d take The Projectionist over half the icons.
His opinion doesn’t matter.I'd say Bone was a missed opportunity
But the Patrick Braillard would yell at me on Twitter again
There’s been other icons that were “last minute” and ended up being one of the best icons the event has seen. Bloody Mary is a prime example.I love the icons but it's definitely time to see new ones as well, I mean Eddie was a hit and a miss and was made generic and Bones definitely has a great shot at being an icon, I'd hope for them to accept it and make it happen, he has more to him than Fear did, I'd have to say, Fear was very last minute.
I've enjoyed reading all the discussion of lore - my first HHN was 26 so I'm really not familiar with a whole lot of it. Before coming I knew about Jack and Chance (obviously). I knew about some of the others but wasn't familiar with the in-depth lore surrounding all of them.In response to Neo... (Forgot to quote, my apologies.)
I think it’s fair to say that the people reading through 415 pages of a Halloween Horror Nights forum, in a year when fewer announcements than ever before have been given, are interested in HHN lore. Especially due to speculation of an Icon-themed house. I see no reason for anyone to rain on that parade. The house will surely be intelligible to people who don’t care, I agree with that. But just like having seen Harry Potter films before entering the lands, you might feel that the experience is a little more exciting due to anticipation. The people that don’t care about the lore aren’t usually the ones reading fan theories and picking apart predictions given by trusted insiders. I’m sure everyone will be fine.
Scareactors are fun. The food not so muchThis should come as no surprise, but the Scareactor Dining Experience has been cancelled for this year...
If anyone cares.
Lolz, to be honest I enjoyed the jab from himHis opinion doesn’t matter.
Honestly, if they could figure out something like Fright Feast at HOS...i.e. getting a front of the line pass for 2 hours...I would totally buy into itThis should come as no surprise, but the Scareactor Dining Experience has been cancelled for this year...
If anyone cares.
where did you hear that?This should come as no surprise, but the Scareactor Dining Experience has been cancelled for this year...
