PROJECT THREE: HOLIDAYS CAN BE A REAL NIGHTMARE
- Inspired by the Haunted Mansion Holiday Project of Season Eight -
"Saint Nicholas is not coming this year. Instead, a much darker, ancient spirit. His name is Krampus. He and his helpers did not come to give, but to take. He is the shadow of Saint Nicholas." - Omi, Krampus (2015)
In homage to my favorite prompt of Season Eight, we'll step back from the futuristic carnival of Project Two and travel into the moldering sanctum of the spirit world: The Haunted Mansion. For this round, we'll explore the ever-popular, but decidedly controversial advent of a holiday overlay for our favorite Disney spookhouse. But, rather than have each team focus on the same Nightmare Before Christmas prompt of Season Eight, Sandy Claws has prepared a few tricks and treats up his crooked sleeve...
Having opened Walt's Vault, @Basketbuddy101 - I mean, "Sandy Claws" - has unwrapped and re-gifted a unique, frightfully festive prompt for each team to explore. That's right, boys and ghouls... Each team will do something COMPLETELY different, as per Sandy's selection! Hee-hee-hee!
In tribute to Season Thirteen, your focus is to build a Christmas overlay from scratch for the Haunted Mansion of New Orleans Square, found in Disneyland. To "build from scratch" is to entirely forbid the use of any and all IP's - Nightmare included. We want to see your interpretation of how the 999 happy haunts would celebrate - and decorate - for Christmas without the help of Jack Skellington. Aside from the limited restrictions, this prompt is almost entirely blue sky.
- Originality is key. No IP's. No Tim Burton. Just Team Cap.
- Create an original, non-IP character (or creature) to replace the Raven as the ride's unofficial mascot. We want a character that fits your vision for a Haunted Mansion Christmas.
- The soundtrack, script and narration must all undergo some significant change from the original Mansion.
- We want an old-fashioned ride-through, right down to the dialogue. Take us on this journey with you.
Also, this round will be a DOUBLE ELIMINATION. This means that the team in second and third place will both lose a contestant. Unlike the past two rounds, we will NOT announce a nominee(s) until the time comes to actually eliminate someone. So, stay on your toes!
Lastly, congratulations to @spacemt354[/USER] - you have been selected for this round's PoMVP!
Good luck, Teams! I will start the work threads shortly. This most festive project is due on Saturday, February 25th @ 11:59 PM (ET), 8:59 PM (PT).

Basically until Friday -- but I can help out where needed for the time being though, and whatever direction we want to take it in is good with me!
