Coming from a long time Weeknd fan seeing as you have little to no experiences of his work this will be a long explanation. For starters, obviously this is all based the After Hours music videos although theres also Dawn FM and Starboy with Die For You in the Brain Sucking scene (Or as the Horror Nights Wiki calls it, the Nightmare Extraction Room). Second of all, the songs that aren't in the After Hours album are, Die For You (Nightmare Extraction Room), Sacrifice (Plastic Surgery Ladies Restroom), and Take My Breath (Beginning of After Hours Subway). Die For You is from the 2016 Starboy album that cane before After Hours album wise (there was a EP album that came out 2 years later called My Dear Melancholy but thats not necessarily a classified album.) and Take My Breath and Sacrifice come from the 2022 Album, Dawn FM which released 2 years after the release of After Hours. Third, Abel's head seen in the Too Late Plastic Surgery Girls room (Yes, The Weeknd's real first name is Abel by the way.) is the same one from the In Your Eyes scene before it as in the After Hours Music Video timeline, once the In Your Eyes girl decapitates Abel in the music video, she drops his head onto a lone hill road where 2 Plastic Surgeon Girls find it laying there the next day as they take it back home to play with and ressurect Abel from the dead. Starting the Too Late music video, the first music video in the After Hours MV Saga to actually take place at daytime (False advertising I say!). Anyways, the Girls have a black buff male stripper dance for the girls before one of them realizes their free trial of living has expired and proceeds to decapitate the stripper and then proceed to sew on Abel's head onto the male stripper body, basically bringing him back to life from the dead (So in a nutshell a Zombie The Weeknd perhaps. Idk why they didnt go with that concept but ok). This also explains why one of the 2 Plastic Surgeon Girls is dancing with Abel's head while putting on and off the beheaded male stripper body simultaneously in the second room of the Too Late scene in the AHN house (Yes theres only 2 of the girls unlike the Bandaged Manics who are basically minions as they come in groups. The scene just has the two reappear again in the last room with one of them holding Abels head and the other attacking guests at the right when they pass by the headless male surgeon body that lunges towards guests on their left as they make their way towards the Mirror Room based off The Weeknd's 2021 Super Bowl Halftime performance. And finally, the Nightmare Extraction and even the very final scene are actually a nod to some of The Weeknd's live After Hours videos where he is seen performing in a white tilled room that even bleeds red blood when the song is about to finish just like in the house. That was a NIGHTMARE to type, but I hope you learned more about The Weeknd's disocrophy.

Tf is this.

0:13 In that part I would have put nothing compares, one of the 3 bonus tracks of the deluxe version of after hours, more than anything the part of "i've seen darker days tryna keep my faith i sin too much to pray for you" 6:20 And in that part I would have put the song "after hours" itself. 7:17 And finally in that part I would have put "until I bleed out"

I personally loved this house, the references and little easter eggs were so cool to see while going through.

Thank you everyone for watching the video, I appreciate the feedback and additional information about the haunted house not mentioned in the video in the comments! I had a quick turn around time with this video as I wanted to get this out by Friday. A few notes with timestamps about feedback / additional information left in the comments. 3:18 - In the After Hours club restrooms the bandaged nurses are from the music video "Too Late" 4:05 - The mirror maze in the haunted house is referenced to The Weeknd's 2021 super bowl half time show, in the performance The Weeknd along with multiple bandaged dancers would walk around a mirror maze while The Weeknd performs "Can't Feel My Face" 4:28 - in this section I mentioned "Touch", "Lust", and "Greed" on the walls in the mirror maze, as mentioned in the comments this is The Weeknd's vices 6:19 - In the subway station The Weeknd's label "XO" is graffitied on the wall 6:22 - I misspoke in the video, the song "Take My Breath" is from the album DawnFM not After Hours Thank you all again for the feedback! I will be updating this comment if any additional feedback / more information is mentioned in the comments.

the bandaged nurses were from the Too Late music video fyi

6:19 XO (The Weekend’s label) is graffitied in the background of the scene (also Take My Breath is a DawnFM song not After Hours)

The mirror maze section is a reference to the 2021 Super Bowl where he would walk into a similar mirror maze, they were also the bandaged people too although i'm not that's where they come from. The words inside the maze (touch, lust, greed) are pretty much his vices. After Hours isn't just a great album, it has a lot of themes, his songs when analysed gives a deeper meaning about who The Weeknd is. If you want to see more, you can check out video analysis on the album which gives more explanations than i ever could. Also, after witnessing this house, it makes me wonder how the Billie Eilish one would have looked liked had it not been cancelled.

the mirror maze is actually a reference to the super bowl halftime show!

Shit I have Trypophobia 😂

Please make more longform videos. I like your house explanations

To be fair, the ending had like three different outcomes. Either Blizzrock/Pyrock come out restored to their original form having won the duel and holding Merlin's head, or Merlin comes out to congratulate you

That was My 4th favorite house from Last Year

Hhn houses shouldn’t have happy endings

i never did get to ride the actual coaster as a kid and i've always really regretted that. it's such a cool concept and i honestly liked that there was a maze based off the same story-- i'm sad it came out so underwhelming but the novelty of it all just feels very special to me

i feel like Leon Kennedy should show up at some stage in the story lmaoo

this is one where i would've jumped at the chance to be a scareactor...that's my dream job anyway, but getting to be a vampire hippie just sounds especially cool. and you get an awesome soundtrack!

I too go to the town square to yell at people about the poor wheat harvest

One of my favorite houses from last year! Felt like I was going through the beginning of Resident Evil 4

If there was an underdog house, it would be this one, it flew under the radar, and once the event opened, visitors would be blown away by the set pieces. But the ending with that big totem really was a surprise, didn’t see that coming. Fun fact: apparently, Abigail and Elias both appear as scareactors, not sure where but it’s nice they made a nod to the podcast story.

Imma be fr with you...i maybe overrate this house alot,weird conection but as someone who is like a BIG fan of the defunct og 95 disneyland paris space mountain from the earth to the moon ride,and who is VERY depressed they dont give a flying bullet about the ride nowadays(missplaced star wars overlay and proven ongoingly right this D23) Im just happy such an defunct and iconic roller coaster got the love letter by the team it deserve for what it did to the resort (kinda cried when i heard the haunted tales audio for the first time),it may not be perfect but its enduring they care for their parks history and its legacy inspire more ideas in the future❤️‍🩹

This was a really good house in my opinion

I think I remember hearing in the podcast that while they where building this house one of the team members got the shit scared out of them by a real bug that flew at them hidden in all the fake bugs they had placed around the house
