    Though I am not attending this year, I have to admit that while everything seems like it is going to be good - nothing is truly a hard selling point for me.

    Nightingales?

     

    I'm not saying that the entire lineup screams "masterpiece" for me--I think it's best to go in with a blank mind. I'm just saying that there's nothing currently rumored that actively turns me off, like HDD last year.

    There isn’t a “Graveyard” series. The phrase on the list (that being: “Graveyard: Hide and seek with kids”) isn’t a title. It’s a location and story description. The house, as presented, is playing a game of hide and seek in a cemetery. 

     

    It wouldn’t directly connect to Carnival Graveyard in any obvious way, if it connects at all narratively. They’re two completely different ideas and concepts.

    Could it be an open floor plan?

    Knott's Tooth Fairy

    Here is a high quality video, but a so-so cast.  Note the  unique Stuff in Face - hanging strings with teeth tied to them.

    The house began in a child's room (@0:48), where an actor was repeatedly abducted by the TF minions.   It transitioned to the TF lair, where she performs her extractions, with all the dental drill sounds that terrified us as kids.  Aside from lots of cages with kids in them (@2:28), the Tooth Fairy's lair had walls covered with letters that kids had written to the Tooth Fairy (@2:16) along with fliers for missing children.  Creep factor 10.  And if anyone recalls the Saws and Steam hallway with the small animated crushers - repeatedly squeezing the last bit of fluid from chunks of human meat - TF had a hallway with animated skulls opening and slamming their jaws shut (@2:50).   It was a seriously messed up house.  Check out @4:21.  And although this video doesn't show it, the finale room was a effect of the TF flying out from a wall above you.  

     

    The video doesn't capture the facade very well, but it was made to look like a house.  Through the windows in front you could peer into a little girl's bedroom.  It was a looping video of her playing, then getting sleepy and crawling into bed, then waking and going to play.  The little girl is the daughter of a Knott's Show Director.

     

    Here's another video (with a much better cast) that catches things missed in the first one

    The facade (@0:15)

    Piles of stolen money from under pillows, Dear Tooth Fairy letters, and Missing children reports (@3:18)

    Bloody mouth video (@6:25)

    Finale room scare (@7:44)

     

    One thing you can't help but notice is Knott's propensity to use big goofy masks that don't really fit the theme.

     

    Seems similar to Dollhouse.

     

    Guessing this will be the flyer house?

    Weird.  My source told me the list was:

    Walking Dead Season 1

    Walking Dead Season 2

    Walking Dead Season 3

    Walking Dead Season 4

    Walking Dead Season 5

    Walking Dead Season 6

    Walking Dead Season 7

    Walking Dead Season 8

    Walking Dead Season 9

    The Hotwives of Orlando

     

    I really need a new source...

    The Purge

    The Purge: Anarchy

    The Purge: Election Year

    The First Purge

    Look Who's Purging Now (with Tony Toni Tonne!)

    But it probably is next year. Doesn't mean that they will or won't be licensing out properties for 29, just laying it out there.

    Also, there's been a ton of work going on for 29 since last August, and the HMH info just came into public knowledge recently. Uni may have known earlier, but who knows if it would have been early enough.

    They had lost access to WB's properties by Christmas 2017, IIRC. We didn't really figure that out until around this time last year.

    Actually, no one really responded beyond the couple in this thread.. I just forgot I had posted this (work and life have been crazy lately)..

     

    Anyway.. I have it from what I would consider a pretty damn good source that 2 of the IP's will be    'IT' and 'Chucky'.

    I haven't followed HHN 29 news/rumors super close yet this year (beyond the official announcements) so I don't know how much those have been speculated on, but .. Well, there it is..     I can't give any details on the source because it would compromise multiple people (and jobs!)..     I'm good with an IT house... just so-so on Chucky..    

    Glad you responded. That said, I'll believe "It" when I see "It." ;)

    (Not meaning to be rude. It's just that my skepticism is through the roof after last year's spec, when It was a "sure thing." I was also looking through the AHS v2 thread on IU recently, and insiders saying that barring major events, AHS would be back at 28. Well, major events happened alright.)

    I’ve said this a dozen times. If Bloodengutz returns, it needs to “Bloodengutz Presents: Reality Terror-vision.”

    As I've said, a good backstory for this would either be his ghost becoming a demi-god of sorts and haunting the old studio (like Gabriel from Supernatural), or him and other inmates escaping and holding a TV studio hostage.

     

    About a month ago now, I watched a little of Kitchen Nightmares (specifically the most infamous episode, Amy's Baking Company) and thought that concept could make a good comedy house. So that would work as a scene in your idea.

    I'm sure the Orlando team knows the fans want to see Bloodengtz return, and that Hollywood had a hit with a very similar theme.  Wouldn't surprise me if we saw him return for the 30th.  Sinema/Bloodengutz mashup?  Usher/Bloodengutz mashup?  I know I'm talking mashup a lot, but I'm still convinced Nightengales is going to be a mashup with Scarecrow.

     

     

     

    I need to stress again - the only similarity between Bloodengutz and Holidayz in Hell was that holidays were used.  Bloodengutz just happened to be placed during a holiday movie marathon, and it was the comedy house for HHN 21.  Holidayz was played straight horror, and only came about due to the wildly popular Dark Christmas scarezone (which ironically preceded Krampus).  So I feel Holidayz in Hell would have organically come from Dark Christmas even if Bloodengutz had never happened.  In the same vein,  one could argue that Bloodengutz was derived from Usher's popularity.

    By that, I meant from the first maze. As I've stated previously, it could be a good way to incorporate the UCMs, as well as a proper Hellgate crossover.

    Y'know, if the website's reveal board is any indicator, an Usher-hosted mashup house like his first one would kinda fit the bill as our "6th" IP house while still having some original content as a wraparound too... :unsure:

    Highly doubt we see Usher this year, but yeah, an IP mashup in an original form would be a nice compromise.

    So I feel really dumb but can you explain a “synergy” house?

    A house that doesn't really have enough drawing power to be used in the advertising, but rather is there just to promote a new property. Basically its goal is not to draw people to the event, but rather to get people to go out and watch the movie/show/whatever. Fear Factor, Dead Silence, Doomsday, Thing prequel, Dracula Untold, Krampus, the Blumhouses...

    If there was any question that House of 1000 Corpses wasnt coming - Rob Zombie announced Three From Hell will have an early fall release date

    HoTC would be the "synergy" house--more on the line of the Blumhouses than Saw and H4 just because it's nowhere near as known as those two.

    Conclusion #3

     

    Universal asked what WB's operational costs and profits were during last year's event. They gave them that money times 10 to use their properties. WB closed up shop for 2019's event and said...yeah...we're good.

    So this is just for one year where Uni might be allowed to use WB properties?

     

    If they were able to land a white whale like Conjuring or It, they better have as many rides open as possible--and sadly, they're going to have to make prices astronomical. Because otherwise, the crowds would make last year's crowds look like a local haunt. Could be much ado about nothing of course--member two months back when Alien was being teased for about a day?

    i was REALLY hoping for a 15th anniversary shaun of the dead house but im more than pleased with the world's end even being on a spec map. another person of culture, i see! 

     

    also, are we still anticipating an announcement today or tomorrow? or has that been pushed back?

    I'm pretty sure that they've clamped down on leakers this year, so I doubt even Legacy knows. Could be wrong, though.


    I would expect them to announce something by the end of the month, but they seem to take a bit longer to announce houses on odd years, for whatever reason.

    This will probably merge so caplocks:

     

    HORROR MADE HERE IS NOT HAPPENING IN 2019. 

     

    Murdy’s tweet about a surprise pitch is officially far more intriguing than before. It happened the same day as Mike’s tweet about a successful pitch. 

     

    Now...everyone remind me to be cynical. Cause my inner King fangirl is trying to freaking claw her way to the top. 

    I'll help: it sounds like they might be doing a permanent attraction, and they decided to announce this after HHN had all its properties locked in.

     

    Then again, you did say you know something we don't.

    The flames were outside the house. Heat was an issue in Disaster! and Jaws. Scareactors became ill from it. Adding heat creates a liability issue to Universal. 

     

    No theme is worth making scareactors ill. 

    Might've been a reason 4/6 houses in the Jaws queue (not counting the years when Jaws was closed) were poorly received.

     

    Saws N Steam looked pretty damn awesome, though.

     Season 2 was kind of lack luster, it only had about 3 good episodes. 
     I think it's easy for them to put together a 2 year contact deal instead of living through 5 years of Walking dead. 
     I think TWD was the reason why we only got 2 year deals. 
     We don't know what the GP or will be hot in 3 years away from now.. 
      I would like another Vampire house or Creatures house. 
     I wish that  Seeds had more dessert feel. 
     They could had heaters..

    From what I can tell, it was wildly popular for the first three years. 25 was when it seems like even the GP started getting tired of it.
