Some Halloween Horror Nights questions

[mergatroid]

Hi me again,

just out of interest does anyone know how old the films or series that some of the houses they're based on have to be? Mrs Merg and I have recently been enjoying the quite tremendous 'Penny Dreadful' tv series that's showing in Britain right now. Last night I said to her that it would make a fantastic house at Halloween Horror but was wondering whether it's too new to be considered. I can just imagine the elegance of the Victorian costuming looking extremely creepy along with some fantastic set ideas. The dungeons, the living rooms of the London house and the walkways under the floor of the old theatre would look quite magnificent recreated I'm sure.

So could this be a possibility, or do Universal have to own th rights and is it too soon?

How does Halloween horror compare to Fright Fest at great adventure in Jackson NJ? We go every year with our season ticket. We go about 4 or 5 times between September and October.

There's no limit to it, really. Aside from just having time to obtain the rights and design and construct the house.
You'll find houses based on old classics, and houses based on movies and shows that are from that or last year.

A) Is currently popular

B) Is a current Universal product (synergy!)

or

C) Something the A&D team successfully pitches as a pet project they simply want to do
