  1. Realistic Niki:

    Most likely based on the newest movie (any one who's actually seen it knows it's not actually a remake) with maybe a cameo from some elements of the originals and AoD. (They do have Ash costumes and the "She-Bitch" costume)

    Wishful Thinking Niki:

    Ash and Co. from Evil Dead and Evil Dead II for the first half, with Linda purposely looking different every time she's in the house. Second half of the house being Army of Darkness.

    Finale ending in S-Mart or the super secret finale if you take a wrong turn being Ash in his car with a long beard in post apocalyptic London, complete with "I'VE SLEPT TOO LONG" eprom.

    Or just simply an Evil Dead: The Musical house.

  2. They did a lot more than mention the real life killers. The first scene had a wall covered in serial killers. After that was the prop Ed Gein (announced over the maze's sound system) standing above a chopped up corpse with a cleaver plunged into her flesh. Then there was a prop Albert Fish with his name written in huge letters over him. They featured a real life child killer. It wasn't the focus, but it was the central feature of a few rooms. I know why they are there, but HHN still chose to use that property and include those scenes. Personally I thought it was a nice touch, but I know a lot of people would be really offended by using a real life serial killer.

    .

    Thanks for clearing that up. The videos of the house I had seen really didn't capture much of the opening scenes, so I missed a lot of that.

  3. The Caretaker was based partly on Mengele and USH featured multiple serial killers in the HOTC maze. So it's hard to say what is too far.

    The serial killers "featured" in the HOTC maze are mentioned because of their use in the movie as part of the tourist trap. Hence why they were mentioned in the house. But if I recall correctly the main focus of the house was the Firefly family and Dr. Satan (not real serial killers). There's a difference between mentioning them and featuring/focusing on them.

  4. New Ifrit clue. No way to post from my phone.

    Picture is of David Hasselhoff, Constantine...can't remember his last name but he's hot, and Sebastian Bach.

    Caption:

    After the break, this one's simple to find, when you remember this:

    The word that matters will follow the contraction of the phrase, "It is."

    All three pictured have played Jekyll/Hyde on Broadway. How the phrase ties in I have no idea as I've not seen the musical or heard the soundtrack.

  5. I've got nothing for Acrostic that hasn't already been mentioned. Though for Simon, I came across this little tidbit:

    "Simon, pseudonymic writer of the 1977 'Simon Necronomicon', or the 'real Necronomicon'"

    The Necronomicon could point to either

    1) Lovecraft

    2) The Evil Dead franchise

    Either one would make me a happy Niki.

  6. Ok I've got three guesses on this one.

    1) The Silence from Doctor Who or a creature similar to it. I've noticed Doctor Who seems to be this decade's Buffy in terms of A&D borrowing or basing creatures off of. (Ex. Nightingales, Weeping Angels)

    2) Possible return of Julian Browning or the Universal Palace Theater for 100 years of horror.

    3) Dead Silence type house if not a continuation if Mary Shaw's curse based on the source material.

  7. I'm a big Christine fan.. I own diecast, vinyl soundtrack, book, and DVD.. My question is.. How could they even try to pull off a Christine house? Just wondering

    I've been wondering the same thing. Was going to post a link to the Monty Python sketch that always comes to mind when I think of how they would pull of a Christine house but my phone is being mean to me.

    All that aside, I find it extremely unlikely there will be a Christine house. Of all the Stephen King properties, it would make the least sense to turn into a haunt experience. Maybe as part of a "Best Of" house where you can have the car maybe stop a few feet by the guests, ala the Test Track truck scare. But a whole house of that? Too expensive an effect and repetitive.

    Heck, Cujo would make a more compelling house. *eye roll*

  8. It's nothing like Twilight. It's actually extremely gory and has more scenes and creatures that would work well in a haunt than TWD and many horror movies.

    I've been wanting a True Blood house for years. Season 2 would make a great house with the Maenad and her brainwashed followers as well as the Fellowship of the Sun. Also as weird as season 5 was, the Authority's headquarters and the whole Lillith arc could make a sweet house.

  9. I think a possible theme for this year's show could be a B&T version of the upcoming movie "This is the End". Gives them an excuse for all the random pop culture icons (not that they need one).

    As far as what's to be included, Harlem Shake is a given. Possibly goats screaming like humans. The song "Thrift Shop" by Macklemore is EVERYWHERE. And of course Grumpy Cat.

    Wishful Thinking:

    Game of Thrones

    11th Doctor

    The Hobbit/Shots parody

    Star Trek/Benedict Cumberbatch

  10. I don't think it would be really hard to get as a house. A evil ghost drowns children in search of her own. Of course yes it would be nice to get a queue video... But people would get the general premise. If that were the case no one would understand the "original" houses.

    Good point. I have a bad habit of underestimating the general public lol.
  11. I'm Cuban American and from Miami, so I represent the flood of Florida Residents from South FL that bombard HHN every year lol...La Llorona is, I believe, a Mexican urban myth. The majority of South Florida is NOT Mexican, but instead Central or South American, and is therefore not familiar with the story. I personally had never heard of La Llorona before HHNH started using it. However, I think it could be successful, if it's given the right marketing. Actually, aiming at the Hispanic demographic in Florida might be a great idea for their numbers....so who knows.

    I too am Cuban American from Miami, and being obsessed with ghost stories, I knew of La Llorona before HHNH did the first house in that "franchise". But what Christy says us true. Most Hispanics in Florida are from Central/South America or the islands. I'm certain La Llorona never made it to Cuban folklore, however if I do the research I'm sure there is some variant of the story somewhere among the Central/South American cultures.

    With that in mind, if they do La Llorona as it was in Hollywood, Uni will need to bring the GP up to speed on the legend, or else it may become the "I Don't Get It" house of the year.
