Dr Morgus

Actually, Buffy's 7th and final season was in 2003. Buffy's 4th season, which included Hush, aired in 1999. Simpliest bit of research would have told you this. So yea...Sledge was right.

No need to hope. Legacy and others at IU have confirmed that it will be in NY.

If you enter the new HHN 25 sweepstakes here, you are taken to a page with 4 pictures with locks on them, dated Aug. 4th, 11th, 18th, 25th. Dates for house/scarezone reveals or something else? And checking the page source code leads to this video labeled HHN 25 Scare Video. It's The Purge. And it has this description: "I uncovered this scare: Will you? #HHN25 http://momentsdev.universalorlando.co..." There's another video linked on the page, but it goes to a suspended account which doesn't seem to have anything to do with the event.

Good! And this from BriMan at OU just now: "I'm assuming the twist is the same that I was told, but it has to do with a location being dumped for another. Not a cutback. I guess we'll see come Haunt season. "

For whatever it's worth, Teebin at OU said yesterday that Disaster was fine, not losing it as a house.

Seriously! They were practically begging people to go in. I was holding out hope that they might start offering cash to attend. Didn't happen.

Hmm, budget cuts? Not enough gas for the saws? Not enough greasepaint for the clowns?

Wrong. Streets are said to be all originals. No IPs.

Unknown at OI says in addition to the 9 houses and 6 scare zones (all originals, no IPs), there will be 3 shows (one is a "minishow"), and 2 "roaming groups". For the roaming groups, I'll go with the obvious - Chainsaws and Jack's clowns. For the shows - Bill & Ted (of course), RHPS (of course?), and some sort of 25th anniversary mini show with Jack. Either as a pre-show or something like the Purge auction.

Yep. It looks like that's what it meant. That house is on the move. And I wonder which one it was? Teebin:"Yeah... it was good to go until it wasn't. Ever thus. Where? It is quite clever. Universal Clever." Jungle Skip: "Yes. All I was told was "It'll be interesting, that's for sure". I'm on pins and needles." Intrigue abounds!

Teebin over at Orlando United just posted a photo of a tent being blown away. I guess this was the change he hinted at a few days ago? So we've lost that extra tent house?

There's always An American Werewolf in Paris.

Well, Lizzy is gone now. Will Cassi be back? While we wait to find out, I thought I should mention what's going on at Orlando Informer. Someone called Unknown claims to have info, and is posting clues. No idea if this is legit, or some kid seeking attention, but might as well take a look. Unknown's 2015 Cryptic Code Names/Hints! The haunt season is almost here! Houses are being finalized, and I've got the scoop for you all. Here I will be doing something I hope to do each year... Here is some more info on what is going to happen. I am going to start my own cryptic clues...might as well start out like this. Hope you all appreciate this, as it's very early and I hit a few bumps in the road trying to get ahold of this list. My first "Code Name" is going to be.... Washington D.C. I will release a new code name each week, but I should have started 2 weeks ago when I got the list, oh well. Also going to give you some more info because I enjoy seeing you all wonder about things (Seems like I have to change this a bit, won't be doing it weekly but Instead I will be doing it every other day.) It's all numbers so you're going to have to do some work for this info.... 9+6+3=18 Hope that isn't too cryptic... Shouldn't be too hard to figure it out. Hint: The number riddle has nothing to do with the theme of a house... SZ's, Houses, Shows.... (Note: It was guessed as being 9 houses, 6 scare zones, 3 shows, and stuff from HHN 18, and he/she indicated that some of that might be right.) Houses 1: Washington D.C. Hints: "stupidity is also a gift from god but one mustn't misuse it" (Answer: Thought to be Walking Dead) 2: Tiny Tim Hints: "Can't wait to release my next clue, here is a tease....my next clue will be an artist/singer. See you soon! Gonna tip toe away until the morning, have a concert to catch." "This one might not be as easy as you think…(Or am I just trying to throw you all off?)" Alarm Clock (Answer: Insidious is the obvious answer, but what about Tiny Tim in A Christmas Carol? Dark Christmas/Krampus?) 3. "Bark At The Moon by Ozzy" Hints: "99 red balloons go flying by!" "For a second time yes, damn wolves won't leave us alone!" "Let's give them another hint for that one. I'm only doing another hint because nobody has guessed correctly yet. So hear is another towards that house....Nazis." "No need to watch AWIP, but I'd watch AWIL again ;-)" (Answer: American Werewolf in London returns.) Scare Zones Shows Other? Does anyone really believe this? Insidious or Dark Christmas is nothing new, but a return of AWIL? Do any of Cassi or Doc's clues fit this? Would they really bring it back so soon? I loved it, but really don't see the need for another one so soon. Back to Lizzy, she's been taken by Legendary Truth: 20:51 04-10-15 The entity known as "Cassilda" has been captured and her "vessel", who identifies herself as Lizzy Putnam, is being tended to. Rest assured we will treat her with the utmost care. Please disregard anything the entity has said. Thank you for your cooperation.

Well this has taken an unexpected turn! She's Lizzy now.

I agree with that, the use of the word chattel is key, but I think the misspelling is intentional. She's reassuring us that while 5 would be a high number of IPs, don't worry, you're getting 10 houses. Just a hopeful thought.

From Cassi: Well, here we go again! What's been lost and what's been gained? Hmm, maybe that's what Cassi is saying? 5 properties locked in, but the others are changing? Or that she has revealed 5 houses, with 5 more to go? And has she intentionally misspelled quiet? If so, what's the significance of that? So that we can read "ten" in "quite now"?

New Cassi clue:

Well hell, I really thought I was on to something. But all of these references to things with puppets can't be a coincidence. Or maybe I'm missing the bigger picture?

Aha! Light bulbs flashing all over my head after the Doc's last posts. Puppets! Let's examine.... Cryptic 3 wasn't Doc singing for 2 people, he was being a ventriloquist. Puppets. Cassi's "Everyone wences" clue is a reference to Senor Wences. Who was a famous ventriloquist. Puppets. He was primarily known for his appearances on Ed Sullivan, but later on , heappeared on the Muppet Show. Puppets. That show that everyone saw, but no one remembers? Candle Cove. A creepypasta about a puppet show. Puppets. In Doc's new hints here, he talks of Punch & Judy. Puppets. Of that show no one remembers, and "to dispel darkness and to light the lights of knowledge". Candle Cove. Puppets. And a reference to Sherlock Hemlock? A Muppet. Puppets. But what does it all mean? Some sort of house or scare zone based on puppets. Or I could be 100% wrong about all of this.

New message from Cassi:

Pretty sure Dr. Jimmy's comment about it being better a couple of days ago, just means a song from Jesus Christ SS, sung by Mary Magdalene, might have been more appropriate on Easter. Again, don't know how much Jungle Skip at OU actually knows, but he says this one doesn't fit any of the IPs he knows for this year, so it must refer to one of the originals, which he says he knows nothing about.

For whatever it's worth, Jungle Skip at OU says no AHS this year: "I would not expect AHS to be at the event this year. Unless the HHN info I got was wildly bad (totally possible, admittedly), AHS ain't gonna be there." Who knows. But, I agree, this one was way too easy and obvious. Has to be something else. Also, new clue from Cassi:

Cryptic Four seems too obvious to be American Horror Story: Freakshow, but look at the description of the video - "Dr. Jimmy defies all expectations... could there be life on Mars?" Elsa Mars (Jessica Lange) sang David Bowie's Life on Mars on the 1st episode of that season. See it here.

No idea if this will end up being relevant to our event, or if this is something totally unconnected, but it's pretty interesting. Insidious Chapter 3 - Into The Further 4D Experience Atlanta Dogwood Festival April 10th - 12th Event Details Experience the world of INSIDIOUS like you never have before. The “Into The Further 4D Experience” is a fully-immersive experience that will take you physically and virtually into the world of INSIDIOUS: CHAPTER 3. Elise Ranier (Lin Shaye) will be your guide on an intense 4D experience that will bend your perception of what is ‘real’ and what is ‘the further.’ Think of this as the evolution of the haunted house experience – a place where analog meets digital. INTO THE FURTHER is a walk-through haunted house with a unique virtual reality / oculus rift component, which creates a truly scary ‘ride’ that has never been done before. And just when you think the experience is over, you’ll realize it’s only just begun. I got an invite to the dress rehearsal here in New Orleans on Friday night, but it looks like I wasn't quick enough to respond, and all of the time slots are filled. Will keep trying to get in, and might just go over to it even if I can't secure a time slot. So what is this? Just a cool promotion ahead of the movie? Or a test run for something bigger in September & October? If they are doing their own thing, I would guess that lessens the chances of it being at HHN25? Then again, The Purge and Walking Dead have done stand alone events like this, and that hasn't kept them away from HHN.

And 2 more scarezones...Bayou of Blood and Maskerade: Unstitched. Details on the blog, along with a bunch of great photos of sketches, masks, etc.
