Think it’s been hinted at that may be the case. One of the tent houses apparently has a “moat”, which could be simply drainage. And completely agree with shutting the IU thread. Was only a couple weeks after the GoT incident and it’s all happening again. People have very short memories it seems. Speculation is fun, but do we REALLY need to know everything before it’s announced? We all know that, typically, A&D do an awesome job, and we are all going if we can regardless of what’s announced. So chill out, enjoy the ride, and count down to the fog and screams

I think it was supposed to be us going through a storm in the cornfield and running into two big scarecrows as we exited the house, there were mirrors and flashing lights and corn surrounding us, that's what I got from my experience. They will probably have the moat might be Depths Of Fear, I bet we will be sorta soaked in that house for sure, whereas Nightingales would sorta be like the rain in the beginning of Poltergeist. And yeah I think its gotta a bit out of hand on that forum, some people want so much whereas some of us really are just excited about the anticipation in all honesty, I'm happy for whatever comes to the event, a lot of people are getting antsy especially after Hollywood are now starting to communicate more and the site is now updated, I think with everything set in motion, there is no reason for people to jump into conclusions, I think they are pretty aware that we are excited and wanting to know more and that they are doing their best to come up with the best material for this year for both coasts and regardless, the houses may seem questionable or exciting but its when we experiencing them in person, its when we are really excited that those houses, scarezones happen you know. Keep positive and give love and support to A&D

What made the original Nightingales one of my all time favorite houses was the setting. Going into the trench mid battle was intense, but throwing the Nightingales into the mix took it to another level. I'm hoping we get to see some of the gladiators battling it out with the Nightingales, just like the soldiers in the trench did. I'm wondering if we are going to be placed in the actual gladiator arena, like a coliseum, or if most of the house will be taking place in some underground type of setting. The HHN team has gotten really good at making the houses feel like they are bigger then they really are, both in setting and number of scare actors. Carnival Graveyard had some scenes that made the house appear to be enormous and the Foresaken did a great job at making the house feel like it was swarming with the Foresaken. If we can get a scene in the coliseum with some gladiators and Nightingales battling it out, this house would be pretty epic.

The announcement said "you enter the fray just as the drought begins to break." Having the final room be the drought starting to break would be best--would fit with the story and would signify the end of a house, since one complaint the last few years has been the lack of proper finishing statement. Scarecrow had a very strong finale. one that clearly felt like the ending spot. Trying not to imagine the houses too much--I've learned that when you try to create an image in your head about what the houses will be like, it leaves you somewhat disappointed just because what they come up with will very likely be different. Same thing kinda happened with the Star Wars prequels.

So to shift the subject, I’m hoping that we see more “definitive” finales this year. As hyped as I am for Nightingales, I kinda wish they were saving the rain effects for the finale, since rain means the end of the games and therefore the departure of the Nightingales.

It's a really long story, but the short end of it is this.. Yes, Jason Blum was a producer on it, but they decided it wasn't going to fit the mold of what HHN should be at least for this year. Their conundrum was solved however, when they simply couldn't get the rights from FOX nor cast anyone that has the size and stage presence of The Rock....
