Halloween Horror Nights 2007: Carnival of Carnage

[Florida420]

We need to get more people here letting us know when they are going. The closer it gets, the lonelier I feel

 

 

Jarvis....when are you going?

 

Robb....when's the big day?

I started a new forum entitled " Halloween Horror Nights 17, what nights are you going?" This way we can post the dates we are going in that forum instead of this one and we can email each other to see if we can hook up with fellow TPR members and we can still watch this forum if anything new comes up regarding HHN 17 OK?

The circus is in town - and here's the construction.

^Carnival

 

I was just about to mention those pictures. There is still so much more time for them to put even more up. This year is going to be awesome!

[Cheesey]

When do they usually release a map for the event? I'm going Sept. 28th but won't be able to meet up as I'll be with some friends. We all have express passes .

[thefitness]

^I think last year the map was up by now. It should be up pretty soon.

 

The website still will receive a few tweaks and a few more things will be added. One thing I've learned from being a avid HHN fan...patience.

Event Map

 

Every town has an Elm Street

I just saw those over at the Vault...NOES and TCM facades look amazing.

 

 

EDIT: To see my construction pictures from Sunday go to the link below and scroll down to the middle of the page.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but that info has been available for a while.

 

The site still might have a few small updates, but it has most of the info needed.

^^good thing I already knew all that...it wasn't too hard to read

 

 

Anyway

 

So after looking at that map pic. I got a question.

 

Scare-zones??

 

I guess there going old school and the whole park is a scare-zone, that's wassup!

All scare-zone and no safe-zone

 

Anyone heard anything about this situation?

[DATman]

^Screamscape says that there'll be only one scare zone with roving characters throughout the park.

My plans are oct 4th but suprisingly I wont be **gasp** filming!!! Someone stole all my equipment so im just flying down that thursday to go to the event that night and fly back the next day...

[alpengeist04]

^Sorry to hear about your camera equipment, Jarmor. I do enjoy your picture TRs. People just suck sometimes.

 

As for this years HHNs, this is definitely shaping up to be the best yet.

[bobafett]

It looks like we'll do Freddy first, Leatherface second, Jason third, and The Thing fourth, then we'll work our way around to the other attractions. Those are the main attractions I want to see in that order, then we'll check out the other stuff. October 26th can't get here quick enough for me. And I'm so sorry about what happened about your equipment Jarmor. Why can't people have more respect towards one another?

[JT3000]

I thought you guys might like to know that Universal released a lot of info. about Halloween Horror Nights!

 

That information was released weeks ago. In fact, it was all on the map I just posted.

Scarezones this year actually, scarezone are going back to their roots, and will be all around the park.

 

People are throwing around the ideas that there will be "unofficial names" (not posted on map) but in the park.

 

Names like...

 

Midway of the Bizarre

 

Clown Attack

 

Carnival of Carnage

 

My guess is the whole park is The Carnival of Carnage...if you look at the link I posted above, and look at the pictures you'll see the "central themeing" around the park and different areas with different props.

[Florida420]

^ That's what's good!!

I think that will be better, who needs a zone to be scared in?

I think it's scarier knowing that any place could be a potential "scare-zone".

 

Who knows, maybe this year I will actually get scared.

 

Speaking of people who get scared....

My plans are oct 4th but suprisingly I wont be **gasp** filming!!! Someone stole all my equipment so im just flying down that thursday to go to the event that night and fly back the next day...

 

The 4th??

 

You sure you don't mean the 24th

 

On the real, sorry about your stuff.

 

Yeah, as of right now, no one is going when I am. ..thanks everyone.

[JT3000]

Just to clarify, there will be no official scarezones this year but they technically still exist. Scareactors are still being assigned to specific areas they aren't allowed to leave, creating the same effect as a scarezone. The lack of official zones is simply due to the streets being integrated into the event's overall theme this year. Everywhere you turn will be the Carnival of Carnage.

 

So far we know Central Park / World Expo and New York will both have large concentrations of actors. I haven't seen confirmation of anyone being cast elsewhere yet. One thing I do know is that the chainsaw team will be back, presumably roaming the park freely.

[thefitness]

The site is updated...Jack's bus is on the Carnirama page and it takes you to the map page once again.

 

Figure out with puzzles, and get a behind the scenes look at that house.

 

TCM looks crazy scary, and I'll probably have to force myself to go into it.

 

 

Also, on all the house pages, Jack pops up and talks to you.

 

There is a little treat for the die-hard fans too! “…it belonged to an odd fellow…”

[jackskellington101]

Oh jeez, not the chainsaw puzzle again. Wow, for where TCM is located, that's an amazing amount of detail. That's a kind of look that I expect from the sound stage houses. If this an example of the queue houses, the sound stage ones must be out of this world. Of course, it could very easily be the best part of the house too, given that it's such a short clip and, hey, it's marketing.

 

The downside to Jack appearing at all the house pages is that, even though that little bit of video is cool, it makes every page slow as heck to load. Hopefully they'll optimize it somehow. The "Oddfellow" quip was good though. They're still self-referencing, even seven years later.

[JT3000]

Supposedly TCM, Vampyr and The Thing are all highly detailed for non-SS houses. I've heard Friday is somewhat lacking and Jack's Funhouse is the usual cheap funhouse ... as the name implies. Six out of eight ain't bad.

[bobafett]

How many more days until October 28th for me? I can't wait!

[JT3000]

Hollywood's site has been updated. Still no attraction info. They've also made some changes to the event overview page for Orlando.
