You know what I'd love to see make a return? A set scarezone using the Nightmaze gate idea. It was such a great concept that was executed poorly if you ask me. I think a prisoners-style scarezone with swinging and moving chain link fences could be really intense. It also allows for the return of a female chainsaw group, which made me pee a little a few times last year.

Just throwing this out there: I wouldn't rule out another doll themed house or even something based on a twisted Toy Factory (Yes, I know, Hollywood did a toy themed scare zone). During the Unmasking tour, my tour guide told us that right now A&D is finding a recent trend that what scares people the most are things that aren't supposed to be alive. Hence the gargoyles and alot of the statue-based scares in some of the houses.

He is serious, and don't call him Shirley. Universal will only use IPs that they see as popular at the time. I don't watch this show, and while it might be a very good one, it is probably something Universal won't look into.

About "Mama" being brought to life as a house, I believe there have been a few rumors about Murdy in talks with Guillermo del Toro. Not sure if that rumor is just an idea or if it already was shot down, but If we have to share anything with Hollywood again this year, PLEASE GOD let it be "Mama"! It has serious potential.. plus it is Guillermo del Toro.

If you really want to do that photoshoot or just want to own them, I have links to a few of the exact masks the Trick or Treaters wore in 2008 and Traditionals wore this year. Being a home haunter, you sometimes come across these things..

Hate to break it to you original house lovers, but IPs will be back next year and for many years to come. I think this past year proved that original content doesn't sell as well as the properties do. Just take a look at HHN 21 vs 22 in terms of crowds. They're not going to ignore the huge fat wad of cash in their pocket. But starships were meant to fly. Let's do this one more time. Also, Corey, you forgot something in your video. It's not the "Top Four Essentials", its the Five. You forgot booze. There will be without a doubt massive amounts of booze at HHN 23.

Will The Walking Dead return? I really, really hope so. I loved the beginning of the house last year. While the house as a whole was sort of lackluster, the facade and hospital were incredibly well done. Watching season three, I can't help but imagine how awesome a house set in the prison could be. Also, it's pretty obvious that having The Walking Dead involved in the event brought in the masses and I don't see anything wrong with Universal milking that cash cow again.. as long as the house is new. Will construction affect the park again? No. Transformers will be open and so will the new Springfield. Amity is kind of just... there. The only issue I can see is the possible heavy traffic in Springfield with the new flat ride taking away the path by the water. No more walking around the crowds. Should we have another Lagoon type show? Yes. I got to catch the Hitchcock show and I enjoyed it. They have the technology already there, might as well use it. Would it kill them to list show times on the map though? Really? More Simpsons? Yes! Bring on the expansion! Simpsons, Transformers, Potter 2.0.. I'm all for it. Not another Magic show? I didn't watch the full 20 Penny, but I did catch a glimpse waiting in the Express line for TWD and it wasn't my cup of tea. It kind of got mixed reviews but I would say it was more 60/40 enjoyed it, so I would welcome it back. They NEED another show to go alongside Bill and Ted to keep the crowds more spread out, so SOMETHING needs to be in AA or Beetlejuice. Hollywood needs to share the female dancers! Yes, yes, yes, and yes. I rest my case. Return of the scare zone sets? .. maybe not! Please yes. I did enjoy the hordes, but the streets felt like they were missing something.. and that something was sets. I'd like to see them keep the expanded boundaries for scareactors, but with adding in the usual sets. Basically just stretch the old scarezones out. There's no reason they can't have a large set scarezone like Acid Assault and have roaming hordes as well. Return of Sound Stage 23 for 23? I'm all for as many sound stages as possible. It's no secret that these houses get the more elaborate sets and that they tend to be the better houses. They have less restrictions in a soundstage. More Sound Stage houses? See above answer. I wouldn't mind "Halloween Horror Nights 23: Soundstages, Soundstages, Soundstages!" I agree.. for the love of baby Jesus do not bring back Alice Cooper. One run through that house was plenty for me.
