Only 2011 and 2012 1. Dead End 2. Gothic 3. Nightingales: Blood Prey 4. Nevermore: The Madess of Poe 5. The In-Between 6. Universal's House of Horrors 7. Winter's Night: The Haunting of Hawthorne Cemetery 8. Silent Hill 9. The Forsaken 10. The Walking Dead 5-10 are all my C-B range houses. Gothic/Dead end would get As, Nightingales/Poe A-/B+ HHN23 will probably shuffle this list quite a bit even if it is considered to be a 'bad' year

Shout-out to the Beasts in NY last night around 12:15 taking full advantage of the whole "nowhere is safe" thing. I was walking with about 4 others headed to Ben & Jerry's then one beast attacked us from the front making 2 girls scream their heads off. Another beast in the cast noticed the screams and came up behind them, which made them sprint into Ben & Jerry's. Then, as soon as they were in B&J and thought they were safe a 3rd beast charged into the ice cream parlor. They were absolutely terrified...it was absolutely hilarious. Gothic 10:15 Cast- the last gargoyle in the house absolutely nailed these same 2 girls. They had just pushed aside the curtains and saw the exit, then you came out of nowhere and made them retreat back behind the curtain...literally making one of them fall to the ground (first time I've ever seen that happen). Then as they got back up you kept scaring them. Fantastic job! Dead End- 1:10 Cast. So many good scares. Everyone seems to have timed their effect to perfection. The guy on the left in the garden room came out of nowhere and scared the same group mentioned above to the literal ground. The mirror boo-hole guy in the bathroom got a different person in my group making her scream for the first time of the night. The boo-hole guy located near the floor towards the end of the house got a different guy to scream for the first time of his night. 9/29 Opening cast of Dead End. the 2nd Peppers ghost gave me the best scare i've ever gotten in any house....ever. I applaud thee. Dead End is the only house that I can say I was truly scared in...solid scares throuought and a few of the best scares I've ever seen... my house of the year without a doubt.

is there a track list for the house? I went through on Saturday without listening to anything, I enjoyed the house but didn't quite understand quite what was going on. Same with Silent Hill to an extent (i'll probably watch 1st movie before my last visit this year)

the rabbit freaked me out. And the whole facade/environment was amazing.

I was eating outside of Mel's last night. Plenty of interaction with Traditionals. At one point one of the actors with a bell came up to me and rang her bell, stuck out her hand and pointed at an unused ketchup packet at my table. I gave it to her and she took it to the table next to us and set it on someones tray. so maybe they'd do the same with candy?

anyone know what the previous largest amount of SAs in a room was?

I emailed. Hopefully others here did too so the 22 clues (note the #) don't just end up in the hands of random facebook fans that have never heard of HNN. It'd be great to get all the Info we can. I guess this could ironically be considered "Wishful thinking"...

in response to the quote "Hear the whispers and dare respond. But if they answer... Best be gone." could have to do with contacting the supernatural? Sounds Legendary Truth-y

I just did some reading on Robert the Doll. From what I gather the Artist house in Key West (the location of most things related to Robert) is a Victorian Style Mansion... with all the poltergeist talk perhaps we could be looking at a house with a ton of different haunts (Robert et al.) and to take the Neil Patrick Harris talk completely out of context I want Dr. Horrible as an Icon! sure it wouldn't be fitting or scary or pleasing to anyone that is a fan of HHN...but it'd be awesome. EDIT: well this is now fairly out of context outside of the speculation thread...whatever. Guess the 2nd half is wishful thinking

Assuming that IS a pic from a "100 years of horror" house...which is quite an assumption...it looks like the house will not be entirely in that black/gray-scale painting people were talking about earlier. I guess it is possible that we get black and white scenes with the real "classic" monsters...but this would mean the whole house would not be black/white. maybe a progression through the "100 years of horror" starting in the past ending with more contemporary properties. Or backwards starting now. ENDING with a black and white (DE like) finale? Perhaps the tunnel (if we haven't already located it) could be used to transport in time? I spitball a lot...if you haven't noticed by now in my 6 (or so) posts.

As far as dubstep goes....ew. I mean I'd give the house a chance, but its the first actual idea that I've seen this year that seems bad. I mean I know they need an overlay for the HoH but I don't see exactly why Dubstep is a central part of any maze...

practically all I remember from last year was the True Grits joke...wasn't a fan personally. B&T seems to have gone downhill every year i've seen it. I'm to the point where I don't think there's anything wrong or "lazy" with the writing...I just think its basically the same show every year. I still go see it every year for a few laughs and a good change of pace from all the haunts.

Any particular reason speculation on the Shows has been minimal? If anything could lead to an overarching sort of "theme" i'd bet it could be the lagoon show. no?

but what role do we play? we've practically been beaten over the head with Legendary Truth related clues. So mayhaps we will (again) take on the role of investigators? we have seen LT go from relatively niche-y marketing to a House now maybe the next step is whatever it is exactly we'll see this year? and the Mansion/Victorian house sounds like it could be a LT2 house...(because 'everyone loves sequals) And this War/Alliance/Gathering/intramural sporting event (likely lacrosse based on current talk) is taking place on the streets while We+LT investigate? because this thread is for speculation
