Here's How Horror Nights Orlando is Keeping Its Lore Going Past Halloween
For houses, we have to actually force ourselves to remove bits of the story, every experience including each scene of the house, the streets, has to be like a Polaroid picture. It’s got to be like you got to get it in one take. So for us creating it, we have a bit of a backstory but then we have to see what we’re going to reveal so we don’t confuse people. So this gave us a great opportunity to really say the things we wanted to say or just add those extra layers back in.
io9: So I started going to Halloween Horror Nights East fairly recently, so I’ve never really experienced a lot of the icons like The Director and Jack the Clown. And my favorite maze last year was the The Icons Maze, because I got to finally get the cliff notes of these different characters that I had had huant friends fill me in on.
And you get on social media, you get on the blog and we can actually see what people are very interested in, what they’re latching onto.That is something we started to plan for next year to see, okay, what does the year look like? These did pretty well [with these houses], I’ve seen a lot of people receive them really well, so I thought, is there another place we can do it? It fits Halloween very well.
