    I've always been so intrigued by the Carnage/villains area in Superhero Island!!! It sounds like such a cool thing and I wish more footage and pictures of it were out there!!
    Great video!

    The source footage of the press kit videos for these icons are always something I’ve been in pursuit of like the one of the opening scaremonies from Islands of Fear.

    kinda funny that Marvel was so against having their heroes be depicted as defeated in the Islands Under Siege scarezone, yet years later, we have them under Disney ownership trotting out a zombie Captain America for their own Halloween events.

    My very first HHN was the first IoA one and Freaks and Foons still sticks in my mind with the streets filled with foam up to your knees in some areas! At the same time it certainly shows how much the scarezones have declined to what exists now.

      They also had that green laser wave effect above guests' heads.

    Jurassic Park Extinction and Carnage were so amazing. Kinda wish they'd do more areas like that again.

    My first Halloween horn night was number 10, and I attended many more after
    But hands-down, without a shadow of doubt, the islands of fear was the best Halloween horror nights they had done
    Just Marvel Island itself was a spectacle to behold
    The haunted houses back then were more personal, more creative and didn’t feel as streamlined. It feels like now the idea is to get you through the house as fast as possible to make way for the nextguests.

    The scare zones should’ve had themes from each island. I would’ve loved a scary Jurassic park scare zone

      They did. Jurassic Parks theme was in line with the direction of the books- human dinosaur hybrids.

    I remember going to Islands of Adventure for one of the HHN events between 2002 and 2003 and I could've sworn there was a From Dusk 'Till Dawn inspired house somewhere behind Marvel Island. They even had a cantina strip club-esque sign outside of the house designed similar to the 'Titty Twister' from the Film itself.
    I also distinctively remember a few years later in one of the HHN where they connected both Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios. I mean, they probably still do that but I haven't been to the event in a while.

    Question was this before Marvel Zombies became a thing?

    • @ArchangelProds
      @ArchangelProds  4 дня назад +2

      It appears so, as Marvel Zombies came out in 2005.

    2:28 Crypt Keeper was the first icon? This information is incorrect. Beetlejuice has the honor of being the first. He hosted 'Fright Nights', the first event. Crypt Keeper was the second icon.

    • @ArchangelProds
      @ArchangelProds  2 дня назад +1

      I love the discussion! Just to clarify: yes, Beetlejuice did host Fright Nights in 1991, but that event was not yet called Halloween Horror Nights. That came in '95 and is when the Crypt Keeper took center stage for the event. Although Beetlejuice served as a host for the original Fright Nights, he wasn't considered an 'icon' in the way Halloween Horror Nights developed the term for its characters starting in the following years. Thus, when we're talking about the first true icon of Halloween Horror Nights as we know it, that would be the Crypt Keeper in 1995.

    'Halloween Is Grinch Night is ripe for expansion says Euchariah😂 A Seuss themed Booville and a Marvel zombies scare zones with special Food and drinks for each would have been lovely. 😢 Guess "Boo to you" really has a hold on the younger market even though I see people under 13 at HHN Orlando 🤣mode options would be 🔥

    How they didn’t make a house or scare zone in the lost continent area of the back based on hades is beyond me

    Wasn't HHN shared between IOA and Studios at HHN 14? I would love to see that covered.

    • @ArchangelProds
      @ArchangelProds  5 дней назад +2

      It was! I wanted to cover it in this video; however, this video was already taking a lot of time, and I wanted to get it out, so I’m saving that for next year!

    I know that you are hopeful that Universal might pull an Islands Of Fear on Epic Universe someday but considering how some of the lands are owned by companies that are overly protective of their IP, especially Nintendo who has a firmer grip even more so than Audrey Geisel. There’s also the fact that impossible to make something horrific out of an IP like How To Train Your Dragon, which is more family oriented than Jurassic Park. And yes there is Dark Universe, it doesn’t seem to be all HHN-oriented, just thrills so that even children won’t be scared of.
    My best guess is that Universal would just have Epic Universe host a family friendly alternative to HHN ala Mickey’s not so Scary Halloween, while still keeping HHN for the main park.

      @@Ihartwalrusguy I can definitely see where you’re coming from, especially with Nintendo I could see that happening. However, with How to Train Your Dragon, I don’t think they would do something specifically with the IP for Halloween Horror Nights, but the themed land overall has good potential for something related to HHN. I think doing something like Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party for Epic would be a great idea.

    They will never be allowed to do anything scary with Nintendo World in Epic Universe

      most we'll get is probably just the Boo ghost enemies lurking around, as well as Bowser.
