_Veritas_

Not to beat a dead horse but my two cents: I'm fine with the reveal in general and am no less excited for this year. Like many others I've pretty much accepted that the creative style of pre-HHNX is pretty much gone and will only be seen as glimpses from now on. Literally my biggest complaint is the website. And not the fact that it's not interactive- we all expected that and knew that that wouldn't happen. Lavish websites for HHN died when the creativity/marketing changed (once again, something we all realize.) But this is by far the most disappointing HHN website to date. It's bland, no unique graphics at all, no music or sounds... I mean it is the bare minimum. I mean, Jesus- the Singapore site kicks our ass! Even the Hollywood site has a better layout, I feel, compared to the Orlando one (even though theirs is fairly bland as well.)

I really appreciate the comments! And just in time for tonight.... video #2:

Hey everyone. So I'm working on a project right now called Jack's Maniacs. Just a fun little series of shorts, centered around this years event. I have a few more planned, but the first one is online now:

Really? I would've thought we'd be more likely to see Ash vs. The Evil Dead

While I guess at this point it's all a matter of opinion, I don't personally feel like Uni has dropped the ball. To me it'd be a "dropped ball" only if this issue isn't addressed (I.E if this is all true and they end up not having the 9th house, although I can't imagine the pressure they're feeling.) To me Mike, and everyone else involved has displayed incredible poise and resilience. From the sounds of it they are trying to work through the problem (whatever it is) and it's all happening fairly quietly- of which I am really astounded, considering info concerning HHN is often known for having leaky piping.... I feel like it's less because of them being greedy wanting to use too many IPs but the IPs/IP holders themselves being greedy.

That's exactly how I feel, haha. I've finally caught up on all of the hubub and I (like others) feel pretty torn. Not necessarily on the prospect of SCREAM being replaced/scrapped but because I can't image the headache that some people at Uni/A&D are experiencing right now. In entertainment last minute changes happen all the time, but it doesn't make it suck any less. And this is a major change. While, if the change does happen, I'll be super excited to see what they pull off and I do admit... all of this news has me excited and anxious (at the expense of poor A&D.) If it doesn't happen though I'll be happy as well, I'm sure.

If that were true I wouldn't expect them to do TWD four years in a row or bring back AWIL

They also did it, kind of, with HHN23 and that whole What Evil Has Taken Root story with "PS"

Tad random, but with all the recent hub-ub of The Green Inferno being released (and Universal being the ones to release it) I'm really hoping that it's capitalized in some respect this year. I mean... obviously it probably wont be a house, since we have a good idea of what we're getting. But a scarezone would be pretty effective.

^ I honestly think that is the only way they can go with it. Not only does last season not offer up a lot in terms of house potential, but they can also spin a Fear The Walking Dead as "new" in a way, I guess. Plus, I'm sure it really will have some new-ish scenarios we haven't seen ( at least in WD houses past.) On top of all of that... it's free publicity for the new show.

No I wasn't, sorry. I totes understand those OCD feels though- especially since, like you, I live so far away. I want to make sure everything is good to go way ahead of time.

I purchased my RoF tickets the second day they were available without any problems. <.<

I def didn't get the "rocker" Jack vibe at all from the video. I mean, I can understand why some would think that, but it's not like rock music has never been used with Jack's character before. I mean... with the CoC show, that's how his theme was played during his entrance. That's what it reminded me of.

Well said- pretty much summed up how I feel in general, especially about how the website and promotion of the event has been handled thus far.

Agreed. Not many things give me pause before going to sleep...

I heard the same thing, from my BTS guide- basically because without J.K's approval for anything (be it a HHN section within the HP area, or HP being used during HHN period) they can't have it open or use it.
