Fright Night 2014

The mazes in the sound studios are always going to out shine the other 2 mazes due to the size and being licenced means they have to be to a high quality

[Zanstabar]

The mazes in the Soundstages are always amazing but I feel like the Show Stage is a bit neglected by the community. They can still put something just as good as the Soundstages in the Show Stage. The first moment I walked past the Hillbilly Slasher junkyard, I had the same reaction as walking up to Herschel's Barn in the Walking Dead.

When you look at the mazes from above the show stage is a really awkward shape unlike the sound stages which are giant rectangles. This makes it hard for larger scenes to be included like the caravan park from Walking Dead last year. I personally thought the hillbilly maze last year was really well done, I don't understand what issues people have with it.

[themagician]

^I agree it was really well done and a just little extra elements that were added (such as the blood hand print appearing on a window above the entrance was really good). From what I can remember it wasn't overly scary and wasn't that long.

[HorrorGuru666]

Looks very impressive and a screamer too. I am particularly eager to go in this maze and Wolf Creek 2 the most. I am looking forward to reading your guys reviews and can't wait till Saturday

Can't Wait going to be So much better than last years

IGN has uploaded a preview of The Evil Within maze.

It's so weird how they've done absolutely no promo for anything other than the 2 studio mazes.. Not even a photo or anything for the other 2 mazes and is there even any shows this year? It would be pretty crap if there was so big show in the stunt driver area like every other year. The shows always balance out the crowd throughout the park. And I couldn't even think myself of what kind of show they could produce this year seeing as there's no theme... They've always used motorbikes to pump up the crowds but seeing as with hollywood stunt driver 2 now showcasing motorbikes every day i don't think it would get the crowd as pumped up as it used to

Was there a show in the Arena last year? I generally don't bother with the shows as I use the time I have for the mazes, which are generally quieter if/when a show is on. They have never really promoted the individual mazes as such, moreso the event. This year there has been wolf creek specific marketing. And remember it was only wolf creek and evil within that were open for the media night.

[kujotess]

what the fuck wonder what they're doing to make up for it...

[Jay Jay The Jet Plane]

Club Blood will be replaced by The VIP TERROR Lounge as well.

what the fuck wonder what they're doing to make up for it...

I can also say that HSD2 will be at Fright Nights kinda disappointed with that since that show isn't that good compared to the original.

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

Doing really well themed mazes?

Video about Terror Tour on MW's facebook - https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10152561819147182&set=vb.106147617181&type=2&theater

It looks like VIP's can access a certain seating area in a maze to watch the scares happen? It also looks like the seating is in the show stage AKA the ripper? correct me if im wrong..

[Jay Jay The Jet Plane]

That's the Show Stage what you saw in that video. That would be pretty cool if VIPS can watch the scares occur. I would imagine that would only be in the Show Stage though.

[Reanimated35]

That would be interesting for all of 5 seconds....

(the watching people be scared part - you don't go to FN to watch other people have fun)

Agree, the concept would probably work better if there was a fixed night vision camera in a maze broadcasting out to a big TV in the queue line showing people getting scared. I wouldn't go and sit down somewhere to watch it

[downunder196]

Especially with an unlimited front of the line pass why would you watch from outside when you could walk through continuously anyway?

[Reanimated35]

See brad that makes sense, stick a tv up out the front like they have on that travelling 9D cinema thing where you can see what the experience is like on the inside. It's not revealing anything secret as you know you're going into the maze to be scared, and there's no telling how far along the camera is anyway.

[downunder196]

Well if they were worried about giving anything away they could always set up a TV in the VIP lounge. I know I'd rather watch people get scared while sitting down with food rather than being huddled in a dark corner.

[jjuttp]

Out of curiosity, how scary and well done was Arkham? There never really was a video of it, and only like 2 pictures.

[themagician]

In people's opinions what have been the best mazes at Fright Nights?
