This is BOGUS. It just wouldnt be HHN without the Wyld Stallyns! Its absolutely ridiculous that they dont just have it at a different stage, who likes animal actors anyways? Im so mad right now

Not really a scareactor...but when Billy Mays humped the crap out of me at the last B&T show in 2009. It was glorious

I dont mean this to be combative at all, cross my heart! I think the asylum trope is so common because the idea of being surrounded by criminally insane people (which do actually exist) is super scary and unnerving. Innocent and harmless people were horribly abused in asylums, sure. But innocent and harmless people have also been mass murdered, put in torture chambers, been eaten, etc, etc: all sorts of common tropes that we see at HHN. I would give the creators the benefit of the doubt and assume they're not purposefully trying to portray the dark realities of historical asylums. You mention being more "respectful" about it, thats certainly fair. Would the theme be more palatable if the backstories behind future attractions explicitly stated that the inmates were violently insane or something? Just trying to find a happy middle ground i guess

For me a few minutes ago it was at 47, the counter must be on the fritz

At least now we know marketing wasn't kidnapped or swallowed by quicksand Then again those were their last possible excuses for the utter lack of updates......... *bangs head on wall*

Well gang, looks like no announcement today after all I guess ill just play some Bill and Ted recordings and cry myself to sleep....

I still see red every time I think about that fiasco. A show that had been an HHN tradition for years was pulled from the event because one concerned parent got his feelings boobooed. I understand that certain subjects can be offensive to people but they warn you before each and every show to expect those kinds of jokes and to leave if you don't like it! Its one of my greatest fears that the Orlando B&T might get pulled because some SJW claims the show gave them PTSD.

Haha I remember that house, it got me all excited for a movie that suuuuuucked! Heres to hoping Jigsaw is better

-Bill Cosby getting off the hook -Wonder Woman -Miley Cyrus cleaning up her image

Five more days to wait according to one source https://hhnunofficial.com/2017/06/23/the-date-of-the-next-hhn-update-will-be/

But does Joe the Plumber who's wondering where to take his family this fall have any idea about the leaks we all rave about? You'd think it would benefit Universal to have more buzz about the event earlier on Then again Ive never managed a marketing initiative for a multi-billion dollar company so I should probably shut my mouth lol

Those early announcements are how they get people to book/plan their trips early though. It seems weird that theyre starting their big marketing initiatives so close to the event. Im with CriticalAnalysis, Universal Marketing seems to have made a miscalculation with their strategy here.

Well all the marketing folks at universal have gone home by now so nothing new tonight probably. God I hope we get news tomorrow

2 words... Fidget. Spinners.

That would be Muppet Treasure Island, duh! Blind Pierre from that movie should be this year's icon. Holy shit was he scary

Hmmmmm as in the Scar on Harry's forehead?

Woah there I think they'll be able to make it pretty funny. They've been building up to this for YEARS now so they should have something good in store for us

I was wondering about the new Mummy movie. It appears to be a flop but will Universal make fun of their own film? I bet they'll heap all the blame on Tom Cruise who I don't think has really featured in B&T since 2000 unless Im mistaken. And im always up for ANY reason to make fun of Tom Cruise

I looked up pictures of voodoo altars, and it seems like that is what the homepage picture is pointing too. The site could be trying to tie together Catacombs, Voodoo Queen, and potentially Cindy if she truly is a fortune teller.

AMEN! At the end of the day this is a big win for HHN fans, we're getting an original maze instead of an IP that theyre bound to do in the next couple years anyways. Plus theres some poetic justice in this character getting her due after being axed in 2014 for dumb reasons

I think you are absolutely correct. So does this mean she's getting her own house? It seems like the Ifrit is saying he hasn't started talking about scare zones yet according to one of his tweets. "The shift, the tide that you seek Is not from houses to zones It's cause is found in a leak And things that became unknowns I wonder if the leak he means is the Conjuring and it's replacement? I would be so happy to have this instead of TWD again.

So combining the two theories, could witchcraft and steamboats point to some sort of New Orleans/voodoo themed scare zone? Seems like a strange theme considering Bayou of Blood was only 3 years ago. And I doubt that the Coven season of AHS would get its own zone. Is there some other riparian paganism theme that im not thinking of?

I know what you mean about the lack of interactiveness. I would love it if Orlando would add Chucky's Insult Emporium. Its hilarious and a chance for people to engage with the event rather than just observe. It definitely wouldn't make it past any censorship though haha

Aw, I love me some B&T, especially the 2015 show :). I liked AoV too, more than I thought I would for a dance show. Its especially well suited for the streetside stage. Do we think they'll end up being a yearly gig like the jabbawockees in hollywood?

Youre right they're probably chomping at the bit to add Trump jokes, though they should probably stay away from politics as much as possible. Melissa McCarthy as Spicey is a different story though! Those skits have been a phenomenon that both sides of the isle can laugh at A buff, shirtless Putin while riding a bear or some shit could be a funny and harmless way to poke trump as well
