Very true points, and remember: the lineup can change at anytime, as it has happened before.

Gee, sorry. I was just saying that could be why it's there, but I believe that they are using it. (and yes, for a clown maze)

Well, they DO re-use props all the time, and I don't see a reason for them to bring out old props into construction places, besides to just tease the fans. But my guess is that they will be re-using it in this maze.

Whoa that slipped right passed me XD. Didn't remember that. Thanks Gambit!

Alright, so it seems that we have been updated with new HHN24 construction photos. These photos have been posted by UoLeaker. (Here is the link to the photos: http://uoleaker.com/photo/hhn-24-update-61514 ) Alright so, the first thing that caught my eye was that the "clown arm" in one of the pictures had stars printed on the sleeve.... "Stars". Remind you of anything Dr. Jimmy-related? If you have been following his cryptic performances, you should know that his most speculated video was the one in which he went through the lyrics of the song, "Stars", by Les Miserables. A lot of the clues that have been connecting to our "Alien" or "AVP" mazes have been getting mixed up with also connecting to a "Killer Klowns From Outer Space" maze. This IS a clown arm. And many of the clowns in the movie have Stars on their costumes. This could explain so much. (But please don't assume that I have the answers. This is pure speculation.)

Of course. That's what makes the IP completely Maze-Worthy!

(THE PHOTO BELOW IS NOT AN HHN24 CONSTRUCTION PHOTO) Does anyone else recall seeing that Clown Arm from the construction picture before? If you went through the "Jack's Funhouse" maze in 2007, you should remember a clown. With the same exact costume. That clown arm, is this prop:

Yeah the posters are pretty badass.

Yes, I am well aware that it is not official and has a large chance of not happening. What I am saying is that I am excited that the IP is even being speculated. However, even if it is currently on the lineup, the chances of it changing is very high, with it being so early. I was just thinking about if it DOES happen, and if you lookat all of the clues, it easily adds up to "Halloween"

Another thing I'm excited about is the "Halloween" maze that was officially confirmed by Orlando Informer. It'll be awesome to see a piece of the classic slashers genre return to HHN. We haven't seen any slashers since the Carnival Of Carnage.

But think about it. What if this "Prop Master" does in fact turn out to be a new and original character. In fact, Aiello stated that there would be a maze this year that would be "Completely original. Not a sequel to anything. Brand new and ORIGINAL." To me, that could mean MANY things. Hell, it could potentially just be another basic story 3D maze like AfterLife: Death's Vengeance from last year. But I believe that this "Completely Original" maze, will be based off of this "Prop Master". If this maze really IS about the prop master, than that means this character will have a big enough back story to feature in a maze. This is all pure speculation, but it's great to think about! The return of HHN Originality from the years of the icons! If this character's story is big enough for an original maze, then it could potentially be the next "Jack The Clown". (Of course, I am most likely way over my head about this. This is PURE speculation with little proof. Just something to think about.)

Interesting points. I was thinking the Propmaster was going to be an "already used" Icon such as Fear or Jack. There are possibilities of it being a brand new character but I believe it will be one of the 2: Jack The Clown, or Fear. There are also the possibilities of forgotten icons like Eddie, which would be great, but so far, with all the IP's being speculated, I don't see a character with such a back story making an appearance. Jack could be considered a prop master in many ways, but I agree with you that Fear has many more connections. In fact, HHN XX proved it, with him being the "master" of the entire event. It makes so much sense to me.

I'm interested to see how this AVP maze goes down, if it happens, which it most likely will. I'm for it... mostly to see the Aliens. I believe the Aliens will most likely be mechanical puppets, like the wolves in the AWIL maze from last year. They could definitely pull it off, with all of the AMAZING mechanical creatures we have seen in the past. ("The Thing" maze comes to mind. Remember THOSE creatures? Perfection.) I'm so excited about this!!

Ok so if you have been following up, you should know that HateToFly posted (a while back) about some new "Propmaster" character. I have quite a few theories of what this character or icon could be. I honestly think that he/she could be connecting to the so called "Steam Punk Clowns" rumor going around but I'm not sure. Does anyone else have further information or hopes about this topic?

Well I can tell you the one reason TWD keeps returning. Money. However, there IS a bright side to this. If how Aiello described it is TRUE, this maze may turn out to be pretty exciting. "Hordes of zombies" sounds like a cool idea for a maze. The one thing I'm worried about is the main theme ignoring all other properties except TWD like last year when the entire event was aimed toward the show and the whole "Evil takes root" idea had no connection. All I'm trying to say is that I hope there is a theme or icon this year, even though that has been lowly speculated.

-Houses: 1. Iron Maiden: Fear Of The Dark (Band House. I think it would work great with music playing, and all of the different themes from different albums such as Number Of The Beast or Peace Of Mind) 2. HellRaiser (Based on the movies. Could walk you through all of the most intense and terrifying torture scenes from the movies. Could also have all of the Hell Creatures to jump out.) 3. Nightengales 2 (Sequel to the first one. It would be amazing!) 4. Alien (Based on the movie "Alien". They could use mechanical puppets for the Aliens. They always use puppets when using bizarre creatures in mazes. They could also add the FaceHugger victims and people with aliens ripping through their stomachs. Maybe even use the "Alien Queen") 5. The Exorcist (Would be scary as hell. Walk through the most terrifying moments of the intense film.) 6. Killer Klowns From Outer Space In 3D (3D IP house based on the killer klowns. That would be amazing.) 7. Revenge From The Past (Walk through the hellish HHN prop warehouse which holds all of the terrors from the past years such as Jack The Clown, Bloody Mary, and all of the evil themes which have come back to life, to kill those who trespass. This may never happen, but it would blow my mind to see something similar.) 8. ~Something original that has to do with Vampires and Gargoyles~ (An old castle, filed with demonic stone creatures, bat things, gargoyls, and blood thirsty vampires. Also add castle traps and lots of coffin rooms.) -Scarezones: 1. NewKD Vegas: Aftermath (A sequel to the original house. The aftermath of the nuclear apocalypse) 2. Toyz: Playful Vengeance (Sequel to Hollywood's Toyz scarezone but in Orlando. NEW Killer Toyz. More to the story.) 3. Asylum Breakout (Escaped crazy psychos and insane killers running wild, on the hunt. Lots of loud sirens and red alarm lights. Broken down ambulance vehicles) 4. Medusa: Land Of Sorrow (I completely made this one up myself. Based on the mythology of Medusa. There could be statues, which were victims of Medusa who have been turned to stone. Some statues would be fake, some would be actors and would follow guests or suddenly move. But think: Statues. EVERYWHERE. No one will know where to go, because they won't know which ones will jump at them. Maybe even have a really creepy original look for Medusa, who will walk around and hunt guests down. -Roaming Hordes: 1. The Silent Ones (Roaming undead victims who were all brutally killed in different ways such as being burned, stabbed, shot, or tortured/hung. They seek revenge on those who killed them. There form of revenge: Do to the killers what they had done to them. Basically, these pissed off undead victims wish to hunt down victims of their own (the park guests) and show them their pain and suffering!) 2. Chainsaw Crew (average bloody chainsaw crew)

Very true. In fact, If there really WAS going to be a 3D maze, it could possibly be Killer Klowns From Outer Space. That's purely wishful thinking, but it would work very well. However, I don't sense any 3D mazes for this year.

Interesting thought, but it's already been confirmed that "Stars" leads to the AVP or just Alien house. But if Killer Klowns ends up being a maze, it'll be interesting to see how a "killer klowns from outer space" maze plays out.

All we can do for now is speculate about what the maze will be like. However, what would an Alien based IP maze be without the queen alien?! I am 100% sure that HHN will be able to replicate the queen alien as a mechanical puppet. They've done so many great, detailed puppets in previous years. Remember the ones in "The Thing" maze? But I 100% agree with you. I would love to see The Queen Alien in this maze.

Well, with the numerous IPs being used this year, plus - the lack of rumors, It just doesn't seem likely to me. But you never know. Even if there truly isn't a 3D maze being planned this year, they could change the lineup at any time.

At this point, a 3D maze would be a hell of a risk, with all the speculation saying otherwise.

I'm interested to see how this "Alien Vs Predator" Maze plays out. It'll be especially cool to see how they create the Aliens. I'm thinking the Aliens would have to be mechanical puppets, like the AWIL werewolves from last year.
