    In regards to future icons, there looking at using one for 30. 

     

     

    Jack. They're interested in using Jack.

     

    Return of the season!

     

    From what I can recall Jack has been the idea for 30 since 25/26 probably prior.

     

    As much as I'd love to see the queen and eelmouth return unfortunately like others have said "heard it from the horses mouth".

     

    Maybe the queen will return and kill off Jack on 10/31/2020!

    Definitely fingers crossed. I don't now why it never occurred to me until now given all the spec, but it's one of the first scenes in TrT (if I remember correctly). The girlfriend blows out the candle, and the boyfriend says something like, "You're not suppose to blow the candles out before midnight on Halloween."

     

    It's a perfect opportunity to use the timed/synced outages. 

    Exactly. 

     

    The other rules include. 

     

    -always wear a costume

    -always pass out treats

    -always check your candy

    And NEVER blow out a Jack O Lantern before midnight

    This isn't so much related to your above comment but...a while back now you made a cryptic comment about this year having something entirely new.  Maybe not a house or zone, but more along the lines of HHN doing something totally different.  I think you said some will like it, others won't.  Did you ever give some follow up info on that?  What's the dealio?  Feel free to respond while you're on the toilet, too.

    The cryptic comment was in regards to a zone. For a while i thought it had gotten canned, until Ifrits latest tweets. If it is still a go, they have done hell of a job keeping a lid on it. 

  4. There was a massive IP scheduled to make an appearance, however haven't heard anything else about it in quite some time.

     

    It may have gotten the axe.  

    I actually enjoy not knowing what originals and scarezones we are getting. It leaves some element of surprise.

     

    There's ALWAYS a shakeup.

    Ugh really? I was actually excited for that one too. I'm curious to see how they do it/what it is but it'll probably end up being really good 

    It's gonna be an Animal House/Vamp55 sequel mash up.

     

    Its the fall 1974 and homecoming weekend at Carey University. The Carey University football team is undefeated and KILLING the opposition. The boys Delta Tau Chis are throwing the biggest frat party since last year. The band will be jamming, the beer will be cold, and everyone is feeling friendly. Open invitation everyone is invited even those creepy locals and those nocturnal nerds from Lambda Lambda Lambda. Only catch is BYOB. Bring your own Blood.

     

    Universal will also be covered in a dome, so even if it rains you will be good to go! Don't worry about the chainsaw fumes it will add to the effect!

    Has anyone seen the movie Creep? Got a 97% on rotten tomatoes.  I thought it was ok, watchable, but I didn't understand how it got such a high rating.  It's a blumhouse movie also would be fun if they added the peachfuzz character to the blumhouse maze lol 

    I really enjoyed creep. If peachfuzz made an appearance I'd be stoked!

  7. Exactly. Should've put it into context, they were referring to the Shining as an IP they have been chasing for a while.

    A guy at a casino table that they know is going to be throwing around a lot of money..... thats the only definition I know. What do they use it for?

    And who are those guys and what are their roles? Im gonna listen in a bit.

    Charles is Show Director of Houses

    Patrick is also a Show Director

    Would you mind giving any highlights? I don't know that I will find time to listen to the entire thing.

    They leave Easter eggs through out but some notables include:

     

    -very high on originals (I'd hope so)

    -considered the shining a white whale.

    -both extremely high on AoV

    -Charles mentioned wanting to bring back The Thing, and creating their own story after MacGready and Childs are found.

    -Patrick would to have another take on Dead exposure.

    -mentioned having a love for classic Halloween themes, really hinting at Trick r Treat

    The audition forms don't have the names of the houses and zones. They have the Entertainment code names, which are also different from the A&D code names. So only the casting directors know what the houses actually are. 

     

    Also, not to be rude, but scareactors aren't 'unemployed 19-year-olds', they're people from all walks of life who sometimes even work 'normal' day jobs. :)

    Exactly. 

     

    Entertainment codenames usually have similarities to one another. House codenames in the past have included watermelon, melon, strawberry, sweet tea, etc...

    Believe me, I know. And for the record, I'm not advocating either way. I'm just telling it like it is.

     

    All I can contribute to the debate is my own personal experience, which is this: I became obsessed with this event more than a decade before ever attending because of the intricate story telling and elaborate website design Universal used to create for HHN.  Without it, I would have never gone - let alone be working the event this year.

    First and foremost congrats on being cast! You'll have the time of your life.

     

    Same here. The stories and backgrounds of the houses and scarezones took my young mind captive and still will not let it go. I appreciate the creative team more than they will ever know.

     

    Back to the current issue at hand...

     

    Is theifrit holding something back?

    Marketing doesn't care about us, man.

     

    Majority of event goers will find out about the event in August when everything is announced.

     

    It's been the same story for years now: marketing sucks, and creative should take over the website and hype up the reveal. They've heard us complain, and nothing has changed. 

     

    While I'm as frustrated with lack of info as everyone on here. Think about it from a business aspect. Each year the event grows and continues to make more money. If you were Bill Davis you'd be a fool to change it up. In his eyes (and the rest of the board) marketing is killing it year in and year out.

     

    The definition of marketing is "the process or technique of promoting,selling,and distributing a product or service"

     

    And cousin business is booming.

    Maybe it's a Catacombs prequel set in Feudal times? At least now there's something to speculate on

    Blood Ruins from HHN 15 kinda followed this suite.

     

    Evil and cruelty are the only survivors of this plague-raveged medieval village where torture is life and death your only escape.

     

    Ghost town=14-26

    Blood Ruins=15-27?

    There's not that much to speculate anymore; I guess all that's left is the Icon and when mazes will be announced/what we think will be in said mazes. If I had to guess I'd say the order of announcements is Icon announcement this week, Catacombs/Gothic announcement early July, Blumhouse mid July, Ash vs Evil Dead @ Comic Con(Late July), Saw early August, and Bayou of Blood & Vampire maze mid August

    You missed something pretty big.

  14. In regards to the number of houses. Another soundstage was built near the location of the parade building. It might even be a bit bigger than the parade building.

     

    I'm not saying that a house is going in there but it does in fact exist. There's no way we are getting less than nine houses.

     

    Also it's getting close to that time of the month...

    Did Hollywood finally announce AHS?

     

    Seems to me that list is now highly suspect since AHS wasn't announced. 

     

    Unless, I missed the announcement. 

    You're absolutely right. Hollywood hasn't announced AHS yet. While I'm not sure about the complete list it says two things. 

     

    1. Arriving

    2. Departing
