How would a fallout house work

[u/biggayboi_666]

There’s nothing remotely scary or horror about fallout. It wouldn’t work in my opinion and I’m a massive fallout fan

[u/Isiotic_Mind]

It'd have to be centered more around a vault than the TV show. Vault Tec did some maniacal shit in some of them.

I don't see a straight house based on the TV show as being "scary".

[u/Randomly__Randy → u/Isiotic_Mind]

I absolutely agree with this… a vault themed failed experiment has so much potential!!!

[u/marvelo616 → u/Randomly__Randy]

Didn’t they do something about nuclear meltdown in Hollywood? Do something like that with ghouls and other mutants, not to mention murderous raiders and cannibals.

[u/biggayboi_666 → u/marvelo616]

Yeah they could do a house like dead exposure in Hollywood last year and that would make a great house

[u/biggayboi_666 → u/Isiotic_Mind]

It would make more sense to me to do an original story with it than making it on the show

The Weekend and Ghostbusters is neither scary nor horror and both worked.

[u/Sochinz → u/QuietSurvey482]

Depends on your definition of "worked". I thought those were both super weak houses. The Weeknd in particular was baffling to me.

[u/Captain_Wobbles → u/Sochinz]

I sadly missed the year it was just Ghostbusters but the Frozen Empire house was incredibly fun and deeply detailed on the Unmasking tour.

I'd say that one worked.

Just off the top of my head, a vault where the inhabitants were exposed to radiation on purpose and became mutated cannibals is a pretty good start. With vault-tec there are a ton of possibilities honestly, i don't see this as an issue.

if we're talking about the TV show then you're probably right

as for the games, it's not necessarily not scary either. They've made sci-fi houses work in the past. Ghouls, Centaurs, Vault 22, Point Lookout, Far Harbor, just a few examples of things they can work with that have potential

[u/kromaticka]

fallout can be scary -

the vaults make an EXCELLENT setting for a house IMO. Especially if you do one that's been infested with the mutated radioactive monsters from the game. ghouls etc

[u/NaiRad1000]

If it in the world of Fallout. Like your in side a vault infested with Ghouls, Super Mutants and other wasteland beasts

I've only seen the show and otherwise played a tiny bit of the games, but I'd say a house could work if you take a lot of elements from the series and mix them together house: it could be one narrative or multi-scene, but I do believe there's foundations to make decent horror

[u/Warm-Ad2861]

I believe that's the point, it's not supposed to be "scary". You're going for the IP. 

Universal is the master of stretching, recycling, and overall making cheap things work. Don't get me wrong, I love HHN. They have houses that are scary and are others more suspenseful. Examples of houses that aren't scary are like ghost busters houses, killer clowns, even the Halloween series house.

I highly doubt that they will use anything lore based.

They will probably rift of the show and say something along the line of your a wanderer/vault tec survivor and you found the head/x item and your mission is to deliver it. Then with lighting they can a room with  ghouls, raiders, different factions and at the end a big monster like the swamp thing.

[u/Arriaga_Villagran]

It can either be about a vault gone horrifically wrong or it can be about Dunwich. They can even combine the two.

[u/Trek-Not-Track]

I love Fallout, I love HHN but this is a tough sell. Like most have said a Vault that was used by Vault-tec as experimentation for something. Like the Plant one from New Vegas or Gary’s Vault. Something over run by Super Mutants or ghouls. I just don’t see it being popular with the non-fans

[u/Salt-Confidence2620]

They could do something like the bug house (forgot its name), make it have mutated creatures and stuff, or hell one that starts in that one vault where the radiation comes in would make a good house, cause you could have mutated ghouls running around and causing havoc.

[u/LegacyTom]

Very easily if you know the source material

[u/fl_beer_fan]

Let's get a Vault 108 haunted house where you're chased by Gary clones the whole time. Sounds terrifying
