Your arrival means…it’s feeding time!

   
 

Along with this announcement. We also received another field report from A.U.R.A. Dr.Bill Walden enters the buried house and to his surprise. The inside contents were kept preserved. The myth is real and evil will be unearthed.

How to fix The Walking Dead at Halloween Horror Nights

This came as to no shock. The worldwide phenomenon “The Walking Dead” would return to Halloween Horror Nights for a 4th year in a row. A first ever for this event.

  
  
Set to follow all the events of season 5. Terminus will be featured. As a flare-filled walker, a grenade pinned victim getting eaten alive and the Semi-Truck walker trap as seen in the promo art. A first for the event. Actors will be in waist high water attacking guest. 

Most fans are beyond tired of the property. Most just don’t simply care anymore. It’s here if we like it or not. While people say “if you don’t like it. Don’t go through it.” That does not change the fact it’s apart of a paid event. I would not mind this being another IP or an original. Though that’s a dream world. 

Since it’s staying let’s see what could fix “The Walking Dead” and amaze even the hardcore fan. One thing the team has has down is the environments and the setting. They know how to flow through a season. 

   
 
What needs work is the forest scenes. In which “The Walking Dead” is full of these scenes. I want to feel the terror of a dark dense woods with walkers creeping about. Not knowing where one might appear.

  
I’m tired of the line of “More Walkers or Lots of Walkers” they made that promise last year. To me I never felt overran with Walkers. Like the characters do on the show. It seemed like here’s a room. Let’s place 2-3 Walkers into it. The idea worked well in the scare-zone back in 2012. Why can’t they perfect it inside a maze?

   

 

Yeah I know characters are off limit unless their dead on the show…(?) The maze needs victims but also characters. I mean real characters. Who might be stuck in an area surrounded by Walkers or military forces. The maze does not feel alive if it’s just filled with the dead. 

Those are just some ideas I have. I’d love to hear some of yours. Tweet me @ZombieCT What are you looking for in the maze this year. How would you fix it?

HHN 25 round up….

So far it’s been a real ghost town around these parts. So I figured I would take the these appetizers and gather them up into just one report instead of individuals. 

HHN Orlando is running a crazy great sweepstakes! Here is the link & info needed for entry. 

 HHN Orlando Sweepstakes   

Also it’s listed as a prize on the sweepstakes. There will be a social media meet up on Nov 1. One could wonder what this will feature. A private trip through a house, A special Q&A, perhaps a chance to be apart of the show. I guess we will find out later than sooner. 

Filming for HHN 25:

  

It’s always in the details. Notice all the puns and nods. 

  
Footage could mean commercial, front gate video to return, or for a certain scare-zone to feature Jack. Also what Mike said could be a nod to “Chance” as in Jack’s sidekick. Notice in the lower picture looks like a puffy skirt as well. My best guess is that it’s a giant steamroller. Also notice the lit up arrow. The theme of the carnival will be very much present at the park. Well that’s all for now. I have a strong belief an announcement will be around next week. 

Who’s ready to join the Z.C.U. again at Howl O Scream #evilunearthed

The wildly popular experimental house Zombie Containment Unit. In which you and other survivors take on the large mob of the dead. Think laser-tag but with the other team being zombies. Returns this year as Zombie Containment Unit 15: Movie Targets. 

An undead invasion leads to a containment failure in Z.C.U.15, leaving zombies in search of flesh. Armed with only a Z.E.D. (Zombie Eradication Device), you’re the next target, and it’s up to you to hold off an undead mob in this interactive zombie hunting experience.

  
   
  

 
From what I’ve heard it was a blast to do. So I’m glad to see it return. Check out the full trailer here Z.C.U.15 and more info at Howl-O-Scream

Field Report-2 reveals a new evil coming to Howl O Scream… #EvilUnearthed 

The story of A.U.R.A. continues to develop. As the house found buried at the dig site. Is believed to be over 200 years old. 

  

Bill Waldren tell us a creepy story of “The Legend of Woods Woman” who I believe is our icon this year. Scarlett who practiced the dark arts to heal the local towns people. After a death of a lady.  The towns people trapped Scarlett inside her home and buried her. I also think this our first look at the new house.  

   
 
This how I believe Scarlett will look once we see her and another character named Jack at the event. 

  
These creatures I’m sure be around the event. Seem demonic and stitched together are Scarlett’s minions to do her bidding. 

  
For more information on the research team head to A.U.R.A. Stay tune as this story gets unearthed. Are you ready to face the Woods Woman at Howl O Scream?
