You may well be right. What I would be interested in is knowing what the Universal brass actually thought of the events the past few years. Would they consider them successes or failures? I'd actually be interested in hearing what people here say as well. I couldn't name a single year that I would label a failure by my definition. Never did I leave the place thinking "Well that was a total dud!". I've had years that I enjoyed more than others, and I've had houses/scarezones that I enjoyed more than others. But never would I consider the year to be an all out failure.

There's no way to please every fan. I've gone to HHN for 10+ years and I've followed along on HHN message boards for years. People always complain. The reason we all continue to go is because we love it. Ultimately it's the event that keeps drawing us back. But don't fool yourself. The real money is in IPs which always have and always will have a bigger impact on sales. We are the minority. When The Walking Dead was announced, all of my friends that are fringe fans got excited about it. That's what Universal is going for. It's the swing vote that really matters. We're the extremists. We'll go regardless (by and large). It's capturing as much of the non-extremists as possible that brings in the real money.

20 Years of Fear makes a lot more sense now than it did 4 months ago.

It is an interesting idea. The Archangel Gabriel delivered messages to people. Gabriel Fell will be delivering messages to us via LT. I could see this becoming something substantial.

This guy also said that we should expect an update last Saturday. We got it a couple days before. Obviously, that's a small sample size but it's all we have.

Wasn't 06 the mental patient? Edit: That was 04.

I don't believe they have Robosaurus anymore.

Here is something I found that is somewhat similar to CD's find. I don't think it was built by Universal but I did find the current set of shows very interesting. http://www.louisvillepalace.com/

Could you see them somehow changing Eddie to be the Usher? Like you said, Eddie was a horror fan. And that could be the connection to Jack that some have speculated on? Who knows?

I got the same feeling. I don't know why either. Wasn't there another idea of a castle house that didn't involve Frankenstein and his monster?

What is that on the book? The only thing I can think of is the "X" on the wall in the first Saw movie. I don't know though. It's probably nothing.

That's what I figured. Even so, at least we have an update!

Well, now that the website has been updated, I am wondering, does anyone else see the curtains in the background? I am probably reading too much into this, but maybe not? They look very similar to theatre curtains.

You know, I've been thinking a similar thing lately. What if the Saw statement was not true? Or what if the guy misspoke? What if the one "guarantee" of this year was not? These are the type of questions that have been going through my mind lately. Has there been any other confirmation of Saw other than that interview?

I did the same thing. And when I saw that, I got excited. I mean, I know this could be completely false information, but still, it's getting me totally pumped for HHN.
