As much as I feel Ripper Row gives you a great ambiance for HoS, I think it's old enough to be replaced, this includes Monster Stomp. I was thinking of giving it more a Frankenstein vibe, and move Fiends into the Globe, once Vault is completely gone after this season. Honestly, I feel like Fiends should have gone into the Globe this year instead of bringing back Monster Stomp which now has to be retooled to fit the flat stage versus the multilevel stage. But since that obviously isn't happening, we'll plan a concept for a different time. This isn't a Fiends rework (that's a lot of work on its own) but a way to tie the show and the area together. Something that Ireland rather lacked.
Now with Fiends in the Globe you could make the scarezone an angry village setup. The idea is that Dr. Freakenstein has already created a creature (or two) before to cause harm to the people of Banbury. And now the people are striking back on the night he is about to show off his new and improved experiment.
The vibe I'm aiming for with this idea is that the people are angry and are on the verge of storming into the theater where he's going to show this off, but they haven't quite reached the angry mob step yet. I want tension growing, but not chaos. England should be more of a tense atmosphere like anything could happen, as the area is small and it's a location of constant motion.
I was thinking roughly of a cast of 10. 6-7 villagers, 1-2 monsters, and 1-2 nurses.
The nurses I would theme to the original Fiends in Das Festhaus where they weren't sexy, I would have one male and one female for verity sake. But these two are essentially the ones trying to keep the peace. They are trying to smooth things over with the villagers, but they know at any moment the villagers could barge in and there's nothing they could do about it. The nurses may also try to reign in the monster(s). Trying to sweep the problem under the rug sort of deal. They can also try to hype up the show and encourage people to come in and watch.
The monsters are more traditionally Frankenstein monster looking. They terrify the villagers and the nurses, even if the nurses do try to handle them.
The villagers, they're angry and scared. They want these monsters out and the doctor with them, but they're working on it. This is just wishful thinking on my part but, for their costumes I would maybe go with a modern Victorian era look. (Also I'm aware the original novel came out in the Georgian era which is rather different from the Victorian era in terms of clothing.) Not quite Halloween costume "Victorian dress" type. But something that's not so old world that it clashes horribly with the modern look of the nurses (both Fiends and scarezone). This is something that's a bit more fantastical in design. I guess for reference you can sort of look at Monster Stomp on Ripper Row for a direction I'm thinking of. Something clearly inspired by a time period but not the actual garb from the time period.
Every so often I think the villagers could gather at the steps of the Globe ready to storm in, and the nurses come up and try to calm down the people. In tune with the show they can have some comedic banter. ("Everything will be alright! Dr. Freakenstein has-!" "What does the man have a doctorate degree in? Ruining our lives? He dropped out of college. He doesn't even have a bachelor's degree!") But the nurses manage to calm the villagers for the time being, or like the monster(s) interrupt.
Anyways, I was just toying with idea because of Monster Stomp coming back without it's old London Rocks stage and got to thinking.
