Dr. Jekyll / Mr. Hyde fits with the duality concept.

Yeah I really doubt it means anything, just thought I would share. ...OR MAYBE IT'S A CINDY VS PREDATOR HOUSE!

From Cindy's facebook page: Cindy Caine: A hint to one of the houses: "Daddy said he wants to take me to the movies sometime -giggle- I'm thinking about seeing Predators"

Hooray! I agree! If you stare at anything long enough you'll start to see things in it anyway. I'm betting we get another update within the week. I'm sure there will at least be more photos added, so then we can have some useful speculation. I feel like we've learned more from one of those photos than days of staring at that lantern.

Hahah, Dr. Crane would fit in, seeing as he uses the gas to make peoples worst fears come to life. A Batman villain themed year would be pretty cool in my opinion. I must have a terrible imagination. I never see these faces in anything. HHNRumors said that "It's coming on July 31st". Think we'll get another update so fast, or think that's for something else?

I honestly tried for a good 15 minutes to see all of these. I find it amusing that you ended this post with "Im not really that crazy". I still don't see the director in the lantern. I think Gwarfan was saying he could see the director in the flame, but didn't say anything about the lantern. At least that's what I got out of his post. So I don't think his face is in the lantern. I see the glasses, pocketwatch, flashlight. Jack I can see, but the frame below (with the flashlight) looks more like a clown to me than the one above. But I can see it. Cindy's bow I suppose I can see also, but it doesn't really look like a bow. It looks like they just made a shape and it happens to be similar to a bow. I see the "20" though. I'm just not sure why some would be blatantly obvious and some would be horribly obscure and hard to see. I really tried to see the "nightmare man", "caretaker" and the letters... it's just not happening. Maybe I just need Figment to teach me how to use my imagination. I think using logic and reason, I see what's put in front of me. But who knows, maybe it's just me.

Treak as in one of Cindy's playthings? Perhaps Cindy will have a larger role in the event? For those who may not know what a Treak is... (from Cindy's backstory) TREAKS & FOONS - Warped combinations of circus freaks and cartoon characters, the mischievous Treaks and Foons thrive on scares. The odd creatures need the power of screams to feed their very souls. Inhabited by TREAKS (females) and FOONS (males), this is place where nothing is as it seems and none of it is good. Neutered (and not very happy about it), bloated and full of nasty surprises, TREAKS and FOONS have genetically mutated and as a result, smile all time… ALL THE TIME. Their voices are gigglish gibberish and their conversations are playing throughout the island. They always carry “treats”; bouquets of balloons (which they will promptly pop in your face when they offer one as a present), bouquets of flowers (that spit), and all manner of hand pranks (hand buzzers, bike horns, popper guns, fake ketchup/mustard bottles, whoopee cushions, snake cans, noise makers, pizza boxes full of rubber dog doo, plastic puke lollipops, etc.) The ground is covered with pieces of blister pack bubble wrap and you never know when you’ll step on one that pops like a firecracker. They roller blade, bound around on bounce boots, and pop out of hiding places to offer their “treats.” As annoying as they are scary, by the time you get out of TWISTED TOONS, you’ll hope to never see a TREAK or FOON again.

Agreed. How is this picture supposed to be in the parade building? Is it supposed to be a picture on the wall, or a drawing somewhere in the house? It doesn't make sense.

Anyone know anything about The_Insider? "I'll be home for Christmas. You can count on me". Think it means anything?

Oh that's right, I do remember reading about that. That's too bad since she's such a big part of Carey, Ohio. If they were to use Carey, I wonder how it would be done without Bloody Mary.

I feel like I'm the only one who didn't like Dead Exposure. I just felt silly walking through the house with glow in the dark zombies. The only reason it wasn't a complete fail was due the the photography backstory, and the room where you had to navigate your way through the zombie crowd. I don't think black and white houses work, and a scarezone would just be a disaster in my opinion. I believe that Carey, Ohio will be back in some form this year, as Voorhees has been saying for awhile now. I really hope they connect all the icons back to the history of the town, but that would have to include Mary Agana. I have seen people saying that she will not return this year? Is this just because she wasn't in the Shadows of the Past scarezone? I may be behind on information so correct me if I'm wrong. The family tree/genealogy concept is interesting and would be an easy way to connect backstories. Maybe a significant event in each icons story occurred in Carey, Ohio? Perhaps Carey is located on a Hellmouth which could have influenced the icons? I'm just throwing stuff out there for pure speculations sake.

So Albert Caine is going to take the souls from the other past icons in order to find one for Cindy? Some of the icons are "dead"; do dead people have souls to take? Maybe Albert will collect souls to make one super-soul for Cindy, then she will take over! Or were you thinking the past icons will assist Albert as Dante was saying? I don't like this as much though. Cool idea

This is a really cool idea! Each icon representing an even more twisted version of their corresponding God/Goddess. However, we are probably looking too far into the names for the house permits, but who cares.. it's speculation!
