I also back the idea of the lost icons.

Aw, I love me some B&T, especially the 2015 show :). I liked AoV too, more than I thought I would for a dance show. Its especially well suited for the streetside stage. Do we think they'll end up being a yearly gig like the jabbawockees in hollywood?

I can see both sides of this argument working but I'm leaning more towards the Torrances being in the house and here's why. Firstly, how can you have a Shining house without any of the 3 main characters? It's not like Walking Dead where you can get away with just zombies, or ghosts in this case, because while the Shining is a classic film I don't think a lot of the younger generation has seen the movie. The only things I think they'll recognize are the Grady Twins and the "Here's Johnny" scene. Secondly, the official YouTube videos for both parks clearly mention them in the descriptions. Orlando: "Face the tormented Grady Twins. Experience Danny Torrance’s blood soaked premonitions. And it’s “all work and no play” as an axe-wielding Jack Torrance pursues you through a snow covered hedge maze. This legendary masterpiece is now the most terrifying haunted experience imaginable. This is “The Shining”. Hollywood: "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. This fall, for the first time ever, The Shining is coming to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort" And finally, Jack Torrance makes 2 appearances in the announcement trailer. If there was such an issue with character licensing, no matter how recent, I doubt Universal would have just released it with the Torrances still in the video AND the descriptions for BOTH parks. Is it possibly, yes. Is it likely, no.

I'm incredibly excited for The Shining. This is going to be my first year auditioning, and I'm going to be gunning hard for a Jack role. One of my all time favorite films by one of my all time favorite directors.

AoV was ok. We went 4 night in a row and I watched once. To me it takes away from the atmosphere on what I consider HHN.

Murdy has also confirmed via Twitter Jack will be at Horror Nights.

Youre right they're probably chomping at the bit to add Trump jokes, though they should probably stay away from politics as much as possible. Melissa McCarthy as Spicey is a different story though! Those skits have been a phenomenon that both sides of the isle can laugh at A buff, shirtless Putin while riding a bear or some shit could be a funny and harmless way to poke trump as well

Midnight With the Stars and You could play at the exit--similar to Mr. Sandman in H2 last year.
