Howl o Scream 2015 Dream Event

Here are my ideas and thoughts for Howl o Scream 2015 for Williamsburg. 

Houses 

Replacing Bitten in Germany, this traditional haunted manor house will have old fashioned illusions and state of the art computer special effects for ghostly effects for the scareactors.     
Set in Italy in Williamsburg. The storyline of the haunt is when a group of archeologists unwitingly unleash ancient gods, demons, and spirits of Egyptian mythology.   

Replacing Catacombs, guests will walkthough the displays of madmen and mosters of old which will come to life, and discover the terrifying secert behind in this Parisian wax museum.  

Set in New France, here guests will take part in this twisted man hunt as their prey. 

Scare Zones
The main centerpiece for the park, in which guests will experince when they come to the park. 

Set in Scotland, guests will come face to fangs with a marauding pack of werewolves haunting the  moors of Scottland.  
This scare zone will be taking place in Ierland, where the Banshees bring death and dispare to those who here their cries of doom.  

Taking place in an alternet version of Germany where it is overuned by clockwork cyborgs and automatons.

My Ideas for Halloween Horror Nights 25

When news and rumors for next years Halloween Horror Nights was going bring an old icon back. 
I've got my thoughts and ideas for Horror Nights 25.
Hope you enjoy these. 

The houses will be based on not only film, TV shows, or video games, but also on books. First off would be the works of Howard Phillps Lovecraft. Creator of tales of ancient, monsterous entities of cosmic terrors primordial fears that await to wreak havoc on our world. Another house based on both film and book would be Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House. Where invsible spirits have taken over the furnishings, as a malignat force hides within the halls and room of  this gothic Victorian manor house.

Another house I've came up would be an atcual maze, which the park patrons must use their wits to find their way out. 

Universal is where movies come to life, so why not pay homage to the one that stated it's legacy of horror The Phantom of the Opera. Which guests will journey into the Paris Opera House and into the catacombs where the masked feind dwells. They will also pay tributie to the campy sci-fi/horror B movies from the 50's and 60's. From radio active mutations, to gigantic alien beings, this house has a unique blend of horror and comdey. The new film Crimson Peak will be coming this October, I think this might be a perfect house for 2015 with it's gothic atmosphere and intriguing story. 

The Walking Dead may return this year, but I think it needs to be replaced by another  TV Horror show like Grimm or Penny Dreadful.

Moving aside from the fictional horrors, guests will also face horrors from the real world. Finding them selves in the wrong side of town, they will encounter thugs, vagabonds and a prostitute or two.    

The Street Expericnes would have a themed areas based on diffrent cultures. The first scare zone would be based on the cultureal veiws of the Afterlife. From the Greek Underworld, the leves of Hell from Dante's Inferno, to Japanese Land of the Dead. Where demons. damned souls, and its rulers beckon guests to the abyss.

The next scare zone would take place in the new London area. Here guests will encounter the spirits of London's dark history, from the black death, Henry the 8th's wives, to Jack the Ripper.

The Aswangs and Kapre of Filipino folklore would be a great addition to the wooded area of the park.  The San Fransico area will be infested with half human/half fish sea creatures.
