Mexican/Spanish Themes of HHN

[pumpkinbot343]

What do you think about Hollywood’s use of legends from Mexican/Spanish folklore repeatedly starting from 2010. I’ve seen some comments saying HHN Hollywood is overusing them, while some others are concerned about how these legends are “exploited for a “white audience” (never mind that Murdy wouldn’t have done them in the first place if it wasn’t for LA’s Latino presence).

Overused? Most definitely.

Exploitative? That's an insane stretch.

Murdy has always seemed sincere about trying to bring new cultures to HHN and I'm glad he's still doing it at a time when other companies have run screaming from the concept. Anyway, I think it's smart because it differentiates the event and helps situate the event in local LA culture (which is also why I think they should try a Korean folk horror house).

I'd still love to see La Catrina get a house and El Chupacabra.. also, I kind of think Noche De Brujas and El Terror De Los Momias would make good houses (You could easily do Momias now that we're not doing Universal Monsters houses anymore, so you don't run the risk of overlapping with a Universal Monsters Mummy house)
