At the end of the day we are all here for the same reason and that because we love HHN. Regardless of how many IPs there are this year we are still all going to attend the event. Original concepts are by FAR my favourite and the best houses IMO but the lack of them wont stop me going. It is a shame to see less and less of them but we will all go along in September and October and have a blast just like we do every year. So although there may be disappointment upon some of us, the reality is it will all be forgotten when we are at HHN23!!

I guess at this stage it just isn't that important to me either way if it's an IP - moreso the execution. I've pretty much loved all the Universal Classic Monster houses, the All Night Die-Ins and Silver Screams, Alice Cooper (of course) - heck, I even enjoyed Saw. OTOH, I really didn't like some of our other IP houses last year, and I can think of several other IP's over the years that really didn't float my boat. And then I can say the same thing about the original houses - many I've loved to near-death; some gave me the meh's. I have faith in Orlando's creative team - just not so much faith in those that hold the purse strings, and therefore the whips. I understand the issues with presenting similar product to two different markets, so my concern I think comes more from Hollywood mis-judging marketing to Orlando (as Ryan has suggested before). As always, this is only one woman's opinion, and YMMV
