HHN27 2017
It is the 1st of August and I have been away far too long. There have been so many additions to the world of Horror that I can't list them all to be able to catch up. So I am going to star with my favorite event of the year. Halloween. What happens every Halloween, Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights. It is a great event where thousands of guests come out from all over to see some of their favorite movies turned into scary haunted house mazes joining them are original maze, and scare zones.
As of right now and I will be adding to this entry upcoming "houses", are FX's Network smash American Horror Story. This is AHS's second year and will be covering the Season 2: Asylum, Season 3: Coven, and Season 6: Roanoke. The second house that was announced was The Shinning, which will be based on the film and not the book. The 3rd house announced is from the Starz Network original series based on the films Evil Dead is Ash vs Evil Dead.
American Horror Story
AHS has picked the best stories to be added into this house this year and here is my break down of why I think so.
Season 2: Asylum that takes us into the questionable world of the 1964 Insane Asylum. By far one of my favorite story in the world of AHS. Where else can you be taken into the past and take a look at crazy doctors experimenting on patients in their attempt to play God. To believe that there were actual doctors that performed these types of treatments in the name of science and medicine is incredible. But to see all the cast of characters like my favorite "Pepper", is going to be great.
Season 3: Coven which takes place in New Orleans that follows a Coven of Salem Witches. Just the ideas that are possible to making this "house" into something that you can walk through and follow is great. While this could be a great house it might fall flat to those guests that do not follow the series. The death scenes in several episodes may not carry through to well in a walk through. That being said, I look forward to seeing just how they creatively design this section.
Season 6: Roanoke, Is an awesome story that stretches through a few timelines and sort of loses it's focus. But I think that the creative staff should be able to pick through what is needed for the house and not bother trying to bring too much of the show's twisted plots. HHN did a great job with their last creation under the title of Roanoke, so they should have no problems with the new one.
The Shinning
This to me is a timeless film that should never be remade unless it follows the book by The Master of Horror Stephen King. It's a great story that will make for an extremely interesting house. It is guaranteed that there will be hotel carpet used like the movie as it puts you in the middle of the action, also look for the frozen maze. What is a Shinning house without Jack breaking through a bathroom door. It is going to be a fun house for all to enjoy.
Ash vs Evil Dead
This house be based on the current series being played on Starz. I'm not sure how things will be played out and how they will bring this to life. With many people only knowing the movies of the Evil Dead, the series is only offered on a payed network cable service, I'm not sure how the reviews of the house will be.
