I remember reading about why suiss landing was not allowed to get a more adult theme for HHN. His wife barred it and universal was already on thin ice after the live action cat and the hat. They ended up just theming it after "Halloween is Grinch night" where the Grinch took over whoville.

And also, Universal was hanging on the tight rope With Marvel after the Maximum Carnage Scarezone and Haunted House so Universal never used Marvel characters on a Scarezone or Haunted House ever again, the only references of Marvel characters in the HHN celebrations were only cameos or references like the toxic waste barrels with the labels written "Property of Oscorp Inc" and various newspapers of the Daily Bugle seen in the queue of the Haunted House "Disorientorium"

One thing I always loved about the event was the heavy use of marketing each year. I don't watch much TV anymore, but I loved a lot of the commercials that played through the 2000s. My top favorite was the HHN 14 commercial, simply because _that flacking bodybag creeped me out so much._ I actually thought it was really cool :3

I will go out on a limb and say Orlando is vastly superior to Hollywood. I think the use of original houses has a lot to do with it. Jack is the best. I wear my You don’t know Jack shirt every year and people always ask about it.

I think it has to do with management being able to have more leeway with what they want the house to be. Hill house was basically like the show without the drama, Beetlejuice was accurate af, Texas chainsaw had some play with it but pretty much accurate. All of the original houses were better to me because it seemed like they put more effort in the environment. I have just gone this year so I can imagine other years at Orlando.

Btw icons and puppet theatre were my favorites. Icons had the great theming and detail throughout and made me go back and watch videos of years before. Caretaker had me going there for a minute and he was on the throne at the end. Puppet theater was just a great time walking through it. Theme and the way the house pulled you into the story was top notch. I would love to come back next year.

@@Octorber13 first time going this year and I can only imagine how amazing it is under normal circumstances. The plexi takes away from the scares but the detail and thought put into the houses and scares was awesome. Coming from a former haunted house worker, I can see why people would go every year. Shit, I would if I wasn't always tight for money lol. They get that epic park built and just focus some of it on hhn from the getgo and I see every year being smooth.

I WANT A JURASSIC WORLD HORROR MAZE! Think about it. We already have two films that feature two Dinosaur Hybrids. When Jurassic World The Ride comes out next year, they can bring back Evilution and add the Indominus Rex and Indoraptor with it, since there's a sound stage right next to the ride, they can use the sound stage to create a horror maze of Jurassic World. It can even be non-canon, since they'll use Human Dinosaur Hybrids. Here's a story I made for the maze, Jurassic World Extinction: *You are a visitor in Jurassic World, watching the Dinosaurs in awe and wonder. But the park soon turns from a dream, to a nightmare. Dinosaurs are loose and running wild, Carnivores are eating the visitors and Herbivores are trampling over the visitors. BUT THE DINOSAURS AREN'T THE ONLY THING TO WORRY ABOUT ON THE ISLAND. Along with Dr. Henry Wu's monstrosities, the Indominus Rex and the Indoraptor, there are Human Dinosaur Hybrids loose on the island! For being tortured for almost their entire life, they will finally seek revenge on the humans. You will go through buildings in Jurassic World and you will end up going through the old buildings in the Restricted Area, Jurassic Park. Find a way off Isla Nublar, BEFORE THE CREATURES FIND A WAY TO YOU. Life finds a way, it always has, and it will find a way to kill you.*

with the right amount of care and attention, i wholeheartedly believe that the storyteller would be much more popular than she is now. i mean, she's literally able to control minds! how is that not an ability we see often, if at all??

I find it interesting that you can tell 2001 HHN was clearly reworked from what had originally been shot. I wish we could see what the original commercial was.

I've been waiting for this ep since the first part and it hasn't disappointed. The icon era was amazing. I wish they bring back more original ideas. Themed properties are cool but it feels better when it came straight from the heart

You don’t receive enough attention. You deserve way more views and subs. Keep up the good work!

Thank you so much for this! I grew up going to Horror nights and to see the history of this is awesome.

Sadly I have never attended an HHN event due to a combination of money and not knowing anyone who would want to do it with me, but the first time I was introduced to HHN was the Travel Channel special "The Art of the Scare". Once I discovered the website, I would make a habit of visiting it every year around September/October to see what was going on that year. HHN 14 will always be my favorite year, mainly because of Field of Screams and Castle Vampyr, and in some way "The Patient" who was the sort of Icon that year (due to always having an interest in abandoned, haunted psychiatric hospitals-- especially if they remind me of the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum). I have always loved scary stories about scarecrows, creepy cornfields, and haunted schoolhouses so Field of Screams appealed to me, and with Castle Vampyr, I was 17 when HHN 14 happened, so I was right in that sweet spot where I was interested in vampires, and Queen of the Damned had recently been released on DVD, which fueled my love of the vampire and Anne Rice even more so became drawn to it.

Wow! Such an awesome VLOG! Don’t make us wait to long for the next episode!

So interesting! I know little about HHN

In the Netherlands we have a clown just like jack but is called Eddie like jacks brother😂😂😂

ya know, if someone like Universal made an entire park with various houses, rides, shows, horror-themed coasters, etc, it would be insanely popular. With a full theme park budget, they could seriously make the most detailed, innovative, immersive, and scariest attractions in the entire world, hands down. It would be a pretty one-of-a-kind thing as well; no one else has yet to dedicate the time and money needed to do a full horror theme park. I mean, you see how damn well they build their stuff now with just temporary sets, so imagine what they could do with an entire permanent theme park. If U was able to get the money to do that, we'd have a park full of scares that would surpass the current scares taking place temporarily in ride queues and such by a big margin. Imagine how great it would be if U was able to build totally permanent, top-quality show buildings with the express intent of it being as scary as possible, no questions asked. They'd kill that (pun intended). I am super glad the new park has a whole land dedicated to the classic U horror movies for sure. If that goes well for them, I'd be surprised if they *didn't* float the idea of doing a full on horror park. Maybe some day we will see that happen!
