Is it just me or does this voice very much resemble Chris Hansen from To Catch A Predator? haha

Wellll if you would take a moment to at the very least just read through the last 8-10 pages it would be pretty clear... In a nutshell, in its entirety, it's not REALLY a prison themed house. The house will take place inside of a prisoner's mind via his memories before he's executed.

This is the last time I'm gonna say it.....dissect. the. word. flashback.

All I'm gonna say is one individual has basically described about 90% of what is currently known about the house in one post... The other 10%, which in my opinion is the coolest part surrounding the house...is described on here but in a different post. It's up to you to put the pieces together

C'monnnnn peoplleee...think flashback...the answer is right under your nose. You're so close you can smell it haha Dissect that word 'flashback' a little bit... This is killing me...just killing me haha

Ya know.....now I'm starting to wonder if this house will even be an adaptation of the movies or just an "inspired by" house kind of how The Forasaken was inspired by The Fog but had it's own twist on it. It will be cheaper because they won't have to worry about movie rights, etc. and it will give more creative liberties. If that's the case, then we're looking at 4 "Originals" and 4 Ips and in my book, I'm okay with that

Although I do agree completely with you Chris, I think in a way you're comparing apples to oranges haha Yes, Knotts does more in terms of quantity, I promise you it's nowhere near the quality and detail that goes into HHN. Now am I saying everything that HHN does is perfect? Heck no! But I do have to say the level of detail is unmatched anywhere else. A house could completely suck but damn it'll probably look good! The only other park-wide event I've ever been to outside of HHN is Cedar Point and Chris can contest that it's not all that great (at least I remember you saying you had been to Halloweekends). Considering that Knott's is owned by the same company, I can only assume it's probably on the same level. Perhaps I'm wrong. But sure they have 14,000 houses but are they the same level of detail and such? I'm sure HHN could do everything you mentioned if they wanted to, but I don't think it would be up to par with what we expect from this event when it comes to quality. Now the shows....that's a whole different story haha The shows they pump out now aren't that great....so I'm sure a few others wouldn't hurt

Perhaps the house is based...oh nevermind...

I think it's more or less just a matter of it just seems like that's the direction everything looks like it's going. Whether its intentional or not, everything has WAYY too many similarities this year....I think we're more or less just trying to speculate why haha

^ If you're looking to make jokes to get someone to try to laugh at them and appease you, get in line....there's a lot of us already lined up....

...and then the scareactors will only come up and scare you as long as you're someone who can provide them a ride to and from everywhere and then treat you like complete crap after all you've done for them and eventually push you over the edge to the point where you can't stand them anymore! IT'LL BE A FRIGGEN HOOT! ...said no one ever....

I personally think in some way shape or form, they just might!! If not this year maybe next year then!

Believe it or not though...I don't think he's that far off this time around....

Anyone have anything to report on about this 'announcement' ? I'm anxiously awaiting to hear something haha

I think you probably know just about as much as me, pretty sure our sources are similar haha of course I don't know what is EXACTLY 1000% going to 'for sure' happen because just as you've said, things DO change. I guess I'm really just referring to what is on the table as of now and what our head honchos in charge have planned. What the final product is...we won't know until September. But at this point, I'm only speaking on what I know Now if only I COULD predict the future

When I said I wasn't 100% sold on what was on the table this year I just meant I'm not 100% happy about what was being presented, that's all haha but from what I have heard, what's currently in the works is all a 'for sure' up to this point. I mean I did say that there still is the chance that we could have a change in plans just as we did last year but we'll see. Never know with these guys

I can assure you that Evil Dead isn't happening this year......unless we possibly have a change in plans like we did last year. But I honestly don't see that happening either so you all need to rule Evil Dead out. Like I mentioned. Construction could be starting as early as the end of this month, which means they're dead set on what they have right now. The chances of them conceptualizing, designing, and properly building a house with a movie that JUST came out is extremely unlikely. It could happen, but don't get your hopes up. Now, next year, that's a whole different story....

^ This. (I keep doing that haha) For those of you who are super anti-IP, you might be in a rude awakening this year. But let's remember that the reason why last year's IPs weren't so hot was because of limitations and designs getting changed last minute. Rumor has it that construction for this years' event is starting in a few weeks. That only leads me to believe that they're pretty set on what they have right now. This only means that a lot of thought has gone into these and a lot care is going to go into the building process as well. Although I'm not 100% sold on what I do know, I have no doubt that they will find a way to make it all amazing. I could see them taking these potential ideas and making them some really cool houses.

This. I already know too much...so watching everyone speculate and see how close/far off they are is kind of entertaining *mooches off of Charles' popcorn* haha

Really? We're gonna trust this Ifrit person after them being COMPLETELY useless when it came down to last year's 'hints?' You guys are nuts if you're gonna let this guy troll you all again this year....

As an aspiring audio engineer, I appreciate this more than you realize. I've always said that if my dreams of becoming an Imagineer don't come true, I would love to work for HHN as their lead audio engineer Who knows, maybe one day I'll be the one to appease your audio wants and needs....but let's hope someone figures out how to make it happen before then

^ But a lot of them were original or had their own original take on something. That's what made it amazing. I think AMC having a hand in everything is what ultimately ruined it. As for Silent Hill and P&T...I don't know why they were such lackluster houses but they were. Hopefully this year, if we do have a heavy IP year, hopefully they can do with the houses what they did with Poe and The Thing in 2011....I think it would be a far jump over the IP houses we got last year....

I haven't posted much up to this point...but here's my wishful thinking (in a sense) and the direction I think the event might be going this year. Do you all think it's possible that we may see another Scary Tales house this year? With all of the recreations of fairy tales lately (Hansel & Gretel, all the various Snow White movies, Oz The Great and Powerful, Once Upon A Time, etc. ) I feel like it would be once again relevant and would provide some mass appeal. I also feel like we will see the return of a franchise house one way or another. Nightengales or Body Collectors could seem likely again especially considering the production of a lot of period based movies lately. I mean, lets face it, it was mentioned very clearly that Nightengales was meant to become a franchise. It was a pretty neat house and I think a lot of people would love to see it return. Or how about something that ties in with zombies/ something apocalypse based in which the Nightengales feed on these corpses. It's certainly worth a thought. Lastly I feel like it's very likely we could see the return of American Werewolf in London and/or the urban legend house. The first seeming more likely. Last year saw the fruition of something that was merely an old projected concept actually brought to life (Gothic). Perhaps we could see the things that got scrapped last minute due to unforeseen circumstance actually make an appearance this year. In my opinion, this all seems like it could really happen and I have a feeling we're going to see at least 1 of the 3 here happen. Then again, this is merely just wishful thinking

Look what I have boys and girls! Just to give you a heads up, there's not a whole heck of a lot of speculations, rumors, or that sort of thing. But I did feel like there was some things in here that people needed to hear. Especially those of us who like to jump the gun a little bit when it comes to speculation and the like Enjoy!

Is it just me or does that Mama picture have a striking resemblance to Hollywood's La Llorana? Hmmmmmmm....
