JB & Browney talk creative team red herrings… again, and coincidently we also talk Sinners before it was announced! We also breakdown Grave of Flesh from HHN 34! See how we scored it using our exclusive ITSZ Ranking System!

Oh, and if you think there couldn’t possibly be a connection between Grave of Flesh and Star Wars… so did we. Then we found one. It gets bizarre. This is your warning. Listen at your own risk. 👀🎶 #GraveOfFlesh #HHN

We know we just finished ranking Jason Universe, but if you’re still missing him from HHN 34… don’t worry. 😈

Jason is waiting for you in Dead by Daylight. Good luck. 🔪

Not even a missing gallbladder can keep this man from working. Love the design, and glad you made it back from DCL!

🎩✨ Step right up… if you dare. ✨🎩

Guess who’s back? Back again? (Besides me 😆)

I loved Dr. Oddfellow’s look this year, so I brought him to life in my signature carved wooden figure style to keep Jack company on the shelf.

I wanted him to feel like an old handcrafted carnival prize or something you’d find hidden away in a dusty curiosity shop. From the top hat to the sinister grin, every detail was sculpted, printed, hand finished, and painted to capture that vintage folk-art feel.

🎪👀 Let me know what you think!

Agreed! One of the things that made the original Deadites so memorable was how distinct they looked. You could spot one and immediately know it was from Evil Dead.

The newer films still carry the essence of the franchise, but the possessed feel a bit interchangeable with other modern horror properties. They’re unsettling, but they don’t have that same, instantly recognizable, Deadite look.

Heimbach has been saying it for years… this is one of the things that truly makes @UniversalORL stand out.

The improv, spontaneity, and the interactions their performers create turn an ordinary park day into something completely unexpected. No two visits are ever quite the same, and moments like this are exactly why people stop, watch, and remember them. 🫶🏼

We couldn’t help but think too that this really captures something HHN fans understand well: the sets, houses, and atmosphere are important, but it’s often the scareactors and street and show performers that create the moments you remember years later.

People speculated that the @UnleashedVegas was a failure; now they are not just building a second location but also expanding and improving the current one!

@HhnWiki @Lunarose1601 We need RUN back at HHN

[Into the Scare Zone: A HHN Podcast @ITSZPodcast]

@nvalantasis4 @Lunarose1601 @HNNightmares @HorrorNightsORL @HorrorNights The Resident Evil Licker was a puppet. This post was about the use of puppets at HHN not that the previous puppets referenced here will make an appearance… We were only speculating the zoo house will utilize puppets as the main source of scares.

[Into the Scare Zone: A HHN Podcast @ITSZPodcast]

In light of @HNNightmares new spec map… we figure it’s time to address that “Zoo” house. In case it wasn’t said yet, we’re thinking this is that puppeteering casting call. 👀

Speaking of puppets… HHN honestly doesn’t get enough credit for some of the incredible creature puppetry they’ve used over the years.

Yes, puppets come with limitations, like the restricted field of vision for the puppeteers or being able to see the puppet in advance of your scare, but the trade-off is worth it when it allows HHN to create creatures that just wouldn’t look believable with a scareactor in a costume.

Imagine An American Werewolf in London from HHN 23 without the wolf puppets. They’d end up doing something akin to the cats from Cat Lady of Crooked Lane. While they worked well in a zone, we think they’d never feel as authentic in a house.

Same with AVP from HHN 24. Those Xenomorph puppets moved and felt completely different from traditional scareactors, and it gave the house a unique mix of actors (Predators) and puppets (Xenos) that really made them feel truly alien.

Sometimes the most memorable monsters at HHN come from the creatures that couldn’t be brought to life any other way. We’re excited to see what this “Zoo” house has to offer. #HHN35
