Fortnitemares (HHN 35)

[Kichkinet85]

So what is this? They say dropping soon?

 

[Parkscope Joe]

Well there that is. Now just for that final scare zone complete reveal….

 

[Kichkinet85]

Interesting thing though the pumpkin head guy seems to be at the center and is at the center of the key art so it looks like it’s him and not Peely.

 

[Tbad556]

Folks, we’ve officially peaked.

As long as there are not hordes of people/ actors breaking out into Fortnite dances, I think those zone could actually be decent with cool costumes and a fun vibe and catch people by surprise.

absolutely no comment other than - how, and why, do they never, ever care about the keyart being the wrong park entirely. Just absolutely weird decisions from higher ups feel like I take crazy pills! Make another!!!

The weird thing is, that's not even the USH arch. It's the USF arch (*which also--maybe that's the new repainted color scheme?!*) with the USH sides of the arch surrounding it.

It screams Epic just using what they can and making a promo alongside Universal that works in the context of what they're implying. Which is funny and fine, but I do think it is interesting to wonder what the mentalities are in making promo like this.

I mean it’s the same art for Hollywood so they just didn’t make the art twice

"Trudge through this scarezeone..." is the most appropriate description that I could give this one.

My mood right now

I don't have any issue with kids and teens attending the event. What I DO have a problem with is the event catering towards that younger demographic. Because I know this is going to be brought up, the difference with Stranger Things is it appeals to a large audience, including kids and teens. I don't think I can say the same about Fortnight, which mostly just appeals to elementary and middle-schoolers.

I like that Dylan Kollath worked on this! This zone about to be beautiful!!

I mean, I know a lot of people probably don't know much about it besides their first impressions of it, but I think it absolutely does have a wide age range. I would not say the average age of a Fortnite fan is far from that of a FNAF fan, it is a property than certainly appeals to younger audiences but also to an over-18 audience.

Yeah. This isn’t accurate. At all.

 

[Tbad556]

My “peak” comment is obviously in jest, but I’d love to witness a classic HHN sleeper hit here just for the reaction.

 

[StaticShock]

Oh great, the selfie zone, I mean *scare* zone.

 

[Cwoolboy]

I still think a Fortnightmares zone featuring Killer Klownz and Art would have been better. Then they could replicate it at future events as a vs battle with different IPs.

 

[SeventyOne]

Man, the comments on the Twitter machine are savage--Reddit even worse (tho I did like "HHN Daycare Zone").

All for a photo op zone--it's not like we lost the next "Wicked Growth" for this. And as I've said before, I'd rather an interesting failure than a boring, by-the-numbers mid effort. One way or another, this at least should be memorable.

 

[Jerroddragon]

I'm excited to see how they do this

Also while it will piss off the people online complaining but will still go to the event and spend money, for sure they will have moments where all the characters dance with people I bet...it will go viral and people like fun stuff

From videos I posted people loved seeing Harley and the Joker dancing...so normal people like things being just fun even if for many online it won't match the vibes they want

 

[johnathanm]

Can’t help but think this would have fit better as a meet and greet, but I’m cautiously intrigued

Don’t have to like an IP (or even think it remotely fits) for it to translate into something cool
