    Maybe BnB should try a presidential run.

     

    If they are going to do an icon, it should be recognized as such in a big way.  We shouldn't have to see marketing materials and wonder - Heyyyy... is this actually an icon?  Until way after the fact, I didn't even realize there was an icon last year (for my personal records, I will never include this lame thing as a real icon).  

     

    There should be a very defined type of story attached to it with proper videos and a commercial to showcase it.  It should be written up in the Uni blog after it is announced to give us the full story.  We should be excited.  We should be thrilled.  We should be wonderfully uneasy.  We should immediately start speculating on the cool merch this new icon will bring.  Oh, I could go on all morning, but I actually have work to do.

     

    Carry on.

    Kinda obligated to bring this over...

     

    Let me try to share some information to feed speculation without giving away the goat.

     

    - I've heard about a new house location this year.

    - Including Dead Exposure, I've heard details on five potential originals. One is extremely likely (95%). One is very likely (85%). I have no reason to doubt the other two yet.

    - I can see one of the potential originals MAYBE actually being an IP.

    - I'm confident (90%) on two unannounced IPs.

    - I'm 75% confident on one other IP.

    - There are 2 IPs I'm 50/50 on.

    - Everything else, including some expected favorites, I'd chalk as longshots.

     

    I, too, read this and thought - so, more than 9 houses??  I mean, to have 5 originals (already doing the Snoopy happy dance with that thought), you'd think they'd have to balance it with 5 IP houses.  Not that I'm saying that HAVE to.. I don't really care.  i'd take 7 originals and 2 IPs.  

     

    One of the two unannounced IPs HAS to be Halloween.  No one will convince me this is not happening.. not with a 40th anniversary of a classic movie with a new one set to hit in October.  No way.

    I was not a fan of Dead Exposure at all.  I feel like I completely missed what everyone else get out of it.  Same thing with Catacombs.

    However, IF Detective was in fact related to Irfit's clue (a Q of mine no one answered), then Dead Exposure does certainly fit the bill.

    I would still take SS Frightanic any day of the week, though.

    Which would you prefer seeing: Frightanic or Dead Exposure?

     

     

     

     

    I do not recall Knott's using that scare at all.  At least it was not timed properly any time we went through.  It's a terrific idea but doesn't lend itself to a conga line.

     

    Oh, I would be on board for Frightanic because I've read so much about it, but I never experienced it.  Living in Chicago, I never knew HHN even existed until 2004 when my son happened to catch The Art of the Scare on tv and was screaming for me to come in the room to see it.  We started attending the first chance we got in 2005.  I haven't missed  a year since, but obv, I missed a lot.  One of my biggest complaints still is that Universal doesn't do more to advertise this wider across the country.  I always thought they could include the commercial (or a specialized teaser) during the trailers for any of their movies. That would be a start.  I've never seen an HHN commercial aired in Chicago.

    Ok so here's a guess Zero = Dead Exposure. Either a sequel or requel.

     

    The detective referred to by @mystiquephreeq and hinted at in @Legacy's clue IS Boris Shuster

     

    Charlie McPherson was the victim/main character in Dead Exposure. 

    "His death didn't go unnoticed as Private Investigator Boris Shuster began to investigate the photographer's disappearance." 

    (http://halloweenhorrornights.wikia.com/wiki/Boris_Shuster)

     

    This was the only house in the Hallow'd Past linked to the Detective.

     

    Perhaps Zero ties into Dead Exposure by being linked to Photo Negatives?

     

    It also links to the Ifirit's clue -

    Welcome now to the hallowed past

    - Dead Exposure was in this house
    Been awhile since we saw this last

    - No explanation needed
    Just one of many in that year

    - There were multiple Reflections of Fear houses in the Hallow'd Past
    Both times seen, it was linked to fear

    - Bloody Mary used fear to cure her patients

    - Fear was the Icon for the 20th Anniversary

     

     

    How has no one commented on this BRILLIANT post??!!  At least I was on the correct track (if this pans out) by stating that "Detective" automatically got me thinking about Boris.  Reading this, I had to suppress an actual squeal of delight!  I would LOVE LOVE LOVE a Dead Exposure return!!!  OMG!  Maybe it could still include LT?

    Not sure if it's been mentioned or not - but in addition to a new Halloween movie this year WITH the great Jamie Lee, it's also the 40th anniversary of Halloween.  I would shocked, SHOCKED if Halloween isn't a given this year.

     

    Also, it's the 10th anniversary of Legendary Truth.. all this talk of a detective makes me think of Boris as well... and then I start my wishing and hoping for an LT connection this year.

    I'm pretty sure Ifrit is an insider.  If things change, then what Ifrit says corrects accordingly.  I think people hate on him/her (how do we know it's a "him"?) because of what @Legacy said earlier about objectivity.  If you really, really desire something (like me and @mystiquephreeq do with IT), then your contribution to speculation is skewed towards fitting what you want into what is being said instead of objectively reading what is being said to determine what will actually be.  Make sense?  

     

    I, too, have internally shelved the hope of IT coming to the event.  When I heard this was "definitely happening", my heart exploded.. and then I immediately thought "are you insane? Until it's officially announced, step back."  Apparently, my initial response was the correct one.  Wariness with speculation and rumor is a prudent thing.

     

    No matter what will be at HHN, it will be awesome.  My airfare is already booked for three different weekends.  I'm considering a fourth (opening weekend) as well, but I want to know more of what is officially coming before I shell out more $$.  On a related note - frequent fear is assumed.  It BETTER be back because traveling isn't cheap.

    Funny enough, I did notice that. heh heh

     

    I sure as hell noticed it because the song has been stuck in my head for an hour now.  THanks @mystiquephreeq   I didn't comment though because everything I read after pretty much said Lost Boys.  I have to say, if this is true, I, too, will be bringing Kleenex with me this year.  (like I don't cry every goddam year over something.. I'm a sentimental dolt).

    Let me say again... I want PHANTASM!  If we are going to get horror nostalgic, how is this not on the list?

     

    I cannot even comment on the idea that IT may be scrapped.   I, like @mystiquephreeq, made the huge mistake of getting my hopes up and actually believing the rumors.  If there is a giant flushing sound emanating from the A&D offices, I don't want to know.  I will also stay in denial until the full reveal if I have to.

    The Conjuring was dropped. 3 out of the 5 IP's have some relation to the 80's. 4, depending on what season of AHS they use...hmm

     

    Why would the Conjuring even be on the table to begin with after the cluster it caused last year?  That makes sense to me.  There are some things that burn you... and you should learn from it.

    Cool,

     

     

    anyone heard the idea of no more frequent fear passes?

     

    Oh horseshit.  People would lose their minds!  It's the users of the FF passes that are shelling out the most money for them.  They are faithful.. they show up a ton of nights (even the crappy ones).  And every single time, they are spending money.  These are the same people who buy all the merch (crappy or not).  I wouldn't believe that for a second.  If, by chance, it IS true - I will rain hellfire down on someone because traveling to Florida 3 or 4 weekends for this event is expensive enough.   I don't need to shell out for individual tix and express on top of it.

    It is, but terrifying TV? Bit of a stretch there. It has its moments but it’s more sci fi than horror I’d say. 

     

    If it’s the same as last year blame Microsoft. They have their annual Ignite conference at the Orlando convention centre. They robbed me of a night last year as well by hiring out the whole park for a night as part of the conference. 

     

    Ugh!  Those assholes!  It appears they are doing it again - taking a prime night at HHN.  Must adjust travel AGAIN.  That's usually our first weekend down.. dammit.

    I almost fell over when I saw the "big announcement" for Christmas stuff.. it came up in the news feed I have set up to review several blogs.  I had to actually click on the home link for the article to make sure I wasn't getting some weird post from last year.  And there it was - 2018 Christmas.  Seriously?  I would hope we get something by end of week.  Anything.. any crumb will do.  Please, for the love of god and everything holy (threw that in hoping the easter connection would make magic happen.. not holding my breath).

    Bad decisions and messy politics made last year's marketing what it was.

     

    I think I can speak for most of us when I say "bad decisions and messy politics" could be its own horror story.   Take from that what you will.

     

    Let's hope this year is better.  I remember the excitement I had when I saw the notification about my soul being requested, etc. etc.. and saw the countdown and waited for some "special gift" all of us soulless people were supposed to get.  In hindsight, I feel like a dumbass for waiting and hoping.  it's like Linus waiting on the Great Pumpkin. #dumbshit

    Don't forget Giger. I'd say Giger was a creative force for Alien. 

     

    Murdy's clues are never clear cut. Each hint isn't going to give us an answer. The hints must be combined. 

     

    Ring of Fire was written by June Carter Cash. It was sung at Woodstock. It was made famous by Johnny Cash. 

     

    I can never remember Murdy's age range. Finding the SoCal band Is proving more difficult. 

     

    If I'm correct on the movie:

     

    Ring of Fire + Alien = The Thing

     

    EDIT: The SoCal band is going to be a band formed prior to 1981. Murdy graduated in 1985 (yay for Murdy giving his graduation year). 

     

    Hey, I graduated in 1985.  

     

    I'm still missing why we'd be doing The Thing again.  Honest to god, wasn't that at HHN just a few years ago?

     I love the juxtaposition of happy/light with dark/morbid. It's why I chose cute names for the gargoyles and I named my trivia team the Homicidal Unicorns. 

     

    The idea of the hyper-happy neon 80's coloring mixed with the macabre amuses and appeals to me. One of my favorite parts of the Twilight Zone Movie ('83) is "It's a Good Life". The coloring and cartoons makes the horror in that part. 

     

    Ah Twilight Zone the movie - EPIC!  I haven't thought of that one in years.  LOL!  Of course, agree, agree, agree.

     

    I know we have Ifrit for clues - just got another tweet now which basically says we are getting Trick R Treat.  However, I do not believe Ifrit has access to get those wonderful pics inside the soundstages of houses being built.  I miss that.
