Green Goblin is a bit of a stretch but goblins are common Halloween monsters

Also I thought Morlun was a vampire but apparently he's not

There are a few where the PC/DC models are definitely better like with Black Cat or Peter Parker, but other than that I’d definitely choose the PS1/N64 models over the higher-res ones.

Venom looks too constantly malicious, Spidey’s eyes are too far apart, Rhino is just… off-putting, and Carnage looks way too happy and optimistic.

What do you guys think? Which version do you prefer?

Finally got my NYCC Justin Uribe variant! Apparently it’s gonna help me retire? Lmao jk. Love it still though!

So, earlier this morning, I just discovered that there was apparently an actual real and official Universal's Islands Of Adventure Halloween Horror Nights XII haunted house that was based on the famous "Maximum Carnage" comic storyline from 1993 that was hosted at the park in Orlando, Florida all the way back in October 2002 that I didn't even know existed until I did some more research on it. What you're seeing here is a bunch of real and historical photos that were taken at the event by the park-goers that have been given upscaled resolution that have resurfaced on the internet for all to see that I had managed to get my hands on to bring awareness of this event from the early 2000's to everyone's attention here so we can all know about this thing. And before anyone asks, NO, none of this is/was AI-generated, it's all real footage taken by people who had gone there with their cameras with upscaled resolution added to it which I found on Google while looking this and the information about it up.

The plot of this event, from what I found out, was that it had taken place in a dark alternate timeline from the main Marvel universe in which our favorite crimson and black symbiotic serial killer and supervillain, Carnage, had murdered all of the superheroes in the Marvel universe (i.e. Captain America, Wolverine, obviously Spider-Man himself, ect), and he, along with other Marvel villains like Scream, Mephisto, Xorn, and Crossbones had taken over the park. The event had taken place behind Doctor Doom's Fearfall, and the maze inside it had a lot of chain-link fences and industrial corridors. However, it had drawn a lot of controversy for displaying a lot of Marvel heroes lying dead on the floor in violent ways, and reportedly, Marvel executives, after discovering all of this, and noticing the very dark tone of all of their heroes dying by Carnage's hands, and all of the events horror elements, had gotten so furious at Universal that the park had never used any Marvel characters for Halloween Horror Nights ever again as Marvel prohibited them from ever doing so as they feared that young kids seeing dead superheroes there would severely damage their brand, though, all of that last part is just a rumor, and hasn't been proven true to this day.

I'm absolutely shocked and amazed that something like this was a real thing! I can only imagine what it was actually like going there during HHN XII as a park-goer at the time, and snapping pics of all of these historic photos there. I kinda wish that something like this, or and updated version of it would happen again in the modern era so a new amount of people can experience this for themselves, honestly. It'd definitely be a blast to do so! I absolutely love the costumes for Carnage and Scream, I think that they had a lot of cool details and were really accurate to the comics, too!

What do you guys think about all of this? Are you just as stunned as I was that this event existed? What are your thoughts on the whole concept of such a thing? Would you have liked to go to this thing back in the day to see it for yourself? Why is that?

Is it just me, or is this image kinda creepy. I get what Steve Ditko was trying to do, but it’s just unsettling to look at. I first saw this image when I was a kid. At the time, I had a fear of burglars. No one ever broke into my house, I just had a fear of them for some reason. Like I said, I get what Ditko was trying to do. But those dots in Spider-Man's eyes just creeps me out. And it still does.

Is it true that Sony is planning a Black Cat spin-off and doesn't want to connect it to the MCU? Well... no.

For starters, this rumor comes from insider Alex Perez—a source who frequently wavers between being reliable and being quite notorious.

Furthermore, many of the tweets discussing this are poorly phrased, making it sound as though he claimed a Black Cat spin-off—separate from the MCU and in the style of the "Sony-verse"—is currently in the works.

The reality is quite different.

According to the Q&A session where this originated, he was asked whether there were any plans to include Felicia in a future Spider-Man project (specifically within the MCU).

Alex responded that Sony had long considered the idea of ​​bringing Black Cat into live-action—distinct from the MCU—but noted that he hasn't heard anything further about that concept since then.

What does this mean? Honestly, nothing that wasn't already known.

The idea of ​​a Black Cat spin-off has been around for a long time—dating back to the "Amazing Spider-Man" era, including the "Black Cat and Silver Sable" project that was ultimately canceled.

However, the fact that there has been no further news on the subject suggests—much like what the Sony CEO has already indicated—that there are no live-action spin-offs currently in development, especially following the disaster that was the SSU (Sony's Spider-Man Universe).

In short, what Alex Perez meant is that Felicia’s situation is the same as that of any other supporting character in the Spider-Man universe: there was an initial desire to capitalize on the character with a spin-off, but the idea was eventually scrapped. Everything related to it remains in limbo until Sony decides what to do with its cinematic spin-off franchise.

So no, there is no Black Cat project, and no, Sony won’t be returning to live-action spin-offs either—at least, not for the time being.

With Secret Wars approaching, a lot of people are speculating that Peter could receive the symbiote in the MCU. Personally, I don’t think it makes sense to introduce it yet.

Peter has only had one film where he truly came into his own as Spider-Man. Giving him the symbiote just a movie later would feel rushed, especially because the symbiote storyline is one of Spider-Man’s most important arcs. I think Peter would benefit from having a few more films focused on developing his identity and growth before Marvel moves on to something as major as Venom.

If Marvel does introduce the symbiote in Secret Wars, I would rather see Holland wear the suit for an entire film and gradually develop a relationship with it. The symbiote could eventually sacrifice itself to save Peter, making it seem as though it has died. However, it could secretly leave behind another symbiote that later becomes Carnage.

If Andrew Garfield returns in Secret Wars, he could also be the one to host the symbiote, allowing him to team up with Holland’s Spider-Man while setting up Carnage for the future. That would give Marvel time to explore the angle they have already set up with Peter’s powers and mutation, while also having a symbiote antagonist without simply repeating Spider-Man 3.

That said, I honestly think it would be better if Marvel did not introduce the symbiote in Secret Wars at all. The studio could develop the storyline across several films, allowing Peter and the symbiote to form a bond, giving Marvel enough time to create a proper Venom adaptation.

What do you think? Should the symbiote appear in Secret Wars, or should Marvel wait?
