    Halloween Horror Nights 25 Wishful Thinking

    Im reading all this stuff (sorry no time Doc's vids) and it seems everyone is all over the place. Dr. Who, Freddy vs Jason, Dead Silence, TWD, etc.... do we really just need to wait a little longer before we accurately guess something solid???? Im freaking lost with all this shit!!!!!!!!

    The first clue is widely considered to be TWD. The rest is anyone's guess.

    I kind of thought of area 51.

    Its nicknamed "Neverland" and "Dreamland" and the CIA only publicly acknowledged its existence in 2013.

    That being said, the song is from "Peter Pan" so perhaps the connection is more direct. Lost boys?

    Weeping angels also makes sense.

    This could connect to the British children books scarezone he was mentioning in the April Fool's video since the Lost Boys were mentioned to be in the zone.

    That sounds a lot like Doctor Who.

    "I have a place where dreams are born and time is never planned." The TARDIS, and the Doctor is a Time Lord.

    "It's not on any charts." Gallifrey?

    The plot thickens more with Jimmy's new status: "Ah, there you are, Angel Bob. How's life? Sorry, bad subject." This could be a clear sign to the Weeping Angels.

    Or... The Walking Dead clue was the actual April Fool's Joke.

    The Scary Tales type scare zone could be pretty decent in my opinion as well as the Harry Potter one. If they actually did have a Harry Potter scare zone, that would finally bring some action to that general area to the park that has been seriously lacking for years.

    As for the houses, most likely only 1 or 2 of them are probably correct. I do have to wonder if a couple of the joke ones could some sort of clue though. For instance, he mentioned that 2 of the houses would be for an additional fee (Ghostwatch and Hell's Kitchen). What it could really mean is that for the extra fee, you go with Legendary Truth on a mission to do research at a haunted diner, during which time there will be interactive objectives and more extreme (possibly hands on) creatures that show up to try and stop/scare you.

    I'll add what I believe the chances are of this list of houses:

    The Woman in Black: less than 5%... I really hope this one doesn't happen since I'm not even remotely a fan of the movies.

    Dracula (old tv series): 0%... Maybe Universal classic monsters or The Strain would work for me.

    Doctor Who: 60% I'd give it higher, but it would be too good to be true. However, I do find it peculiar that he mentions the connection between the Brits and the surveys. I was always under the impression that a decent amount of British folks did show up for the event. I don't think the whole event will be British, but maybe they will be bringing in the Doctor to show some love for all the British HHN fans.

    Hellworld: 50% Although I'd love to see it, the timing of it's use seems a bit questionable.

    Hitchcock: 35% I just can't buy into the idea of a Hitchcock variety themed house happening. Personally, I think someone got their clues mixed up somehow and mixed up Psycho with PsychoScareapy or maybe The Birds with the plague doctors from the Catacombs.

    ShakesFear: 15% This house could be based off of some type of literature, but Shakespeare... c'mon now, it just seems unlikely in my opinion.

    God Save the Queen/Bloody Tower dual run: 5% If any house is going to be a dual run, it's probably TWD in it's finale run. However, I'd also love to see a big ol' Scary Tales house here too.

    Union Jack House: Less than 5%, but there almost certainly will be another clown house this year and since Jack is returning, there you go. 80%

    So... with that being said, I'm not feeling too confident there was much honest info to pull from these April Fool's Videos. I think they are sticking with the rumored big 3 (Freddy, Jason, Leatherface) which is 3 ip houses right off the bat. We're almost guaranteed a Jack/clown house. The blizzard clue Mike tossed out almost has to be a Krampus house original. We may possibly get Dr. Who for all those Brits out there. If TWD returns, it wouldn't be a huge surprise if it was a dual run (regular series and new spinoff). That would be 8 already. I'm counting on the 9 or 10th house to be an original upcharge house possibly having ties to Legendary Truth. TWD almost can't return in order for them to have an icon tie in house (unless the icon house is the upcharge). But if Comcast is calling the shots, they'd probably want one of the highest rated shows on television at the event. Maybe they will cut out 1 or 2 of the big 3 after all??? Just please have Dr. Who!

    I don't see all of the big three being used this year. Freddy is the likeliest followed by Leatherface, but with the Friday the 13th reboot out next year why use Jason this year? Right now, I think this will be the lineup:

    TWD (potentially dual run)

    AHS

    Doctor Who

    Hitchcock

    Crimson Peak or Insidious

    Jack

    Dark Christmas

    Two new originals

    Legendary Truth upcharge

    My thoughts on what percentage of chance each of the houses in the form stated have:

    Woman in Black: 5%

    Dracula: 0%

    Doctor Who: 75%

    Hellworld: 60%

    Hitchcock: 90%

    ShakesFear: 35%

    God Save the Queen: 20%

    Union Jack House: 5%

    Ghostwatch: 0%

    Hell's Kitchen: 0%

    If this is like Giggles and Dusk from last year where the monster was right but the property wasn't, some of the percentages could easily be changed. Obviously Jack is going to get his own house, the UK theme is why I have it at 5%. Change it to regular Jack and it's 100%. I think a ghost house could happen (especially if it's LT), but definitely not Ghostwatch. Dracula returning in some form wouldn't be a surprise, but the 50's Dracula is a bit far fetched.

    For the rest of the houses, Hitchcock is the likeliest followed by Doctor Who. The former was one of the first rumors for 25 and the latter has been speculated to be the non-horror IP Hollywood is getting. It helps that DW merch is now in Citywalk. Hellworld/raiser sounds like a good possibility, but I don't think this will be the year. ShakesFear sounds like an awesome idea for a house, I really hope that one is true. God Save the Queen is interesting, but relying on the queen's life sounds bit too risky. Woman in Black 2 didn't do so well at the box office and Comcast has better alternatives for promoting. Hell's Kitchen wouldn't work at all.

    Outside of the HP scarezone, they don't sound all that interesting and are probably fake. Having Diagon open during the event would help crowds out a lot. It would be nice to see RHPS replaced by something else, but it's not a big deal.

    On another note, I'm a bit surprised Crimson Peak wasn't brought up. It fits in with the British theme and marketing would love it.
