Halloween Horror Nights 29 General Discussion

Something about the 80s aesthetic makes me feel like they could've done with more gore, like one of those trashy slashers or the beginning scene of It Follows. The '17 trailer had plenty of it "suggested," and it was very cool to see.

When I saw the girl with the popcorn I immediately thought Scream and thought they were going for a slasher vibe.

Here's the Ghostbusters one.

Here's the Ghostbusters one.

I'm so confused. Why not just have it in the regular commercial??

There's always weird restrictions rights holders impose on these sorts of things (for years Marvel required a certain amount of space for their characters on all advertising for IoA). Taking a guess there's something similar for Ghostbusters (such as must be its own ad, cannot be seen with other characters, etc).

Probably a rights issue. Agreement with Sony doesn't allow use with other properties or (or certain types of properties) or something.

Sony has a bit of an issue about not sharing their toys with others, don't they?

Spoiler: spoiler

Yeah I don't think Disney's innocent either.

I saw somewhere that is was a directors cut.

Do we have a merch thread yet?

Not yet.

 

[RevFreako]

Not yet.

Who wants to start one? I'm genetically incapable of starting one without a silly title, and your fine HHN coverage deserves marginally more mature handling.

When they roll out the merch, I will.

Just like how Ghostbusters won’t be on the house shirt. Ghostbusters is a brand that doesn’t like to be associated with other competing brands.

Will it not be on the shirt at all? Will it not be included in the house line-up like Blumhouse last year?

The version that I’ve seen, it is not.

It’s odd that they tweeted that about Cabana Bay and then....nothing.

The commercial is awesome for this year. Yes it’s not the best but it fits the 80s theme this year.

Dislike

Insert Veruca Salt gif here.

Maybe it wasn't worth the tweet in the first place.
