One of the few times I'll give Hollywood big bonus points for making it clear what happens to Saskia. Even if you miss the beheading itself, you get the idea from the scene that she's being killed.

Unless they decide not to staff that Dracula’s Daughter position for some insane reason.
I don’t know why both coasts are having such a hard time staffing Dracula Daughters. There are supposed to be - I believe - at least three in each iteration, with varying transformations! I typically only encountered one.
Hollywood has 4 physical appearances + the blood moon screen of doom appearance.
I need to watch another Orlando POV because I only saw one & I'm still confused by what I was witnessing lol

I’ve walked through it three times and still find it perplexing.
The house could benefit from a 2-3 minute backstory video that could play between the ads on the projector facing the queue. There's just too many factors that make this house confusing

So much this. Murdy did it for Hollywood and it was extremely helpful. Why on earth did they not simply do a voiceover with "The story so far..."?

Personally, I absolutely love this house and its my favorite so far of this year. Every time I do this house it just gets better and better and I notice more details and effects I didn't notice before. It's clear a lot of love and care went into the making of this house and I absolutely love the story that is presented in the house. This is definitely a house that gets better with repeat runs as you pick up on more and more of the story. The backstory given on the discover universal podcast is also a very good listen too and this house also has some of my favorite sets and effects of this year.

Oh, someone decided to come out more than once every 30 seconds?
(My write-up is coming. Just processing the Hollywood version.)
EDIT: @ReelJustice, do you have notifications for me posting in this thread set up? You were lightning fast!
This house should've been thrown in the trash when it was in its early stages of development. A&D is more than capable of creating a Universal Monsters house that is 10x better than whatever Eternal Bloodlines is. Really is a shame to see what is typically one of the best houses of the year turn out to be the worst. There was no gradual decline in quality over the years, just a straight nosedive, which is incredibly shocking to me.
As much as I want to see more UM houses (especially Creature), I would not be upset if A&D decided to let the Monsters at HHN rest for a few years.

I guess gill man should be left alone lol. some things are not meant to be lol.
and it's not just this house, this year is kinda funky in other ways. not sure what happened, look at the zones. or the museum house. I don't know ....

Unlike Museum, this is a house that has improved for me after every run I've done. Right now it's 2nd in my rankings, personally love this house. So much going on and it's so cool to be in the middle of all the battles. The She-Wolf zipline scare is my favorite this year.
Maybe A&D don't know how to translate Creature into a house. I'd be satisfied if we got another Universal Monsters 2019 house, but with a longer Gillman section.
I've been going for a decade and this year doesn't feel any different.
