My dream lineup if I ever ran the event for a year(and rights issues didn’t exist), in Orlando, would be this:
Icon: The Storyteller
Theme: There are no Happy Endings
Icon Houses: Dungeon of Terror: Reopened & Scary Tales: Hell Freezes Over
IP Houses:
The Conjuring: The Cases of Ed & Lorraine Warren - SS22
This house would encompass both Conjuring 1&2. I know the house that was supposed to come in 27 was to be in Tent 2, but I think the maze would be better suited in a SS since the environments in both movies are pretty large. Especially the house in Conjuring 1
IT - SS24A
Based solely on Chapter 1. Pretty self explanatory; facade would be the Neibolt House and finale would be in the Sewers.
Scream - SS24B
This house would be based on Scream 1-4. The emphasis would be placed mostly on 1 and would begin in Casey’s house and end in the Barn from Scream 4.
The Strangers: Angels of Death - Shrek Theater 2
This house would start off in the house from the first movie, but a large emphasis of the maze(about %60-%70 of the maze) would take place in the Trailer Park from 2. Soundtrack would be filled with 80s songs
A Nightmare on Elm Street - Sprung Tent 2
Based solely off the first movie. Would be reminiscent of Halloween(24) in terms of retelling the original movie of a franchise in great detail with Easter eggs to other movies.
Original Houses:
Paradise City - SS21
An original based on 1984, We Happy Few, & Bioshock. A dystopian city that has dark secrets, an expansion of Saws n Steam except more grandiose and focusing expanding the lore. This would not be the mega house, but would be in SS21 solely because of large the sets would be, similar to Resident Evil except a bit longer.
Vamp ‘94: The College Years - Sprung Tent 1
The vamps invade a fraternity at Carey University during a back to school party. Grunge vampires, New jack vampires, and tons of early-mid 90s music.
Dungeon of Terror: Reopened - MiB Tent
The roadside haunt known as the Dungeon of Terror is reopened to the public, but all is not well as The Storyteller and her minions have overtaken the haunt. Would be semi-reboot of DoT Retold, except this would be a cheesy roadside haunt/gift shop and would feature more gore. Also would ditch the weird pig masks and hillbilly aspect
Scary Tales: Hell Freezes Over - B108N
The Snow Queen has taken over the land of fairy tales, and has enslaved all of the heroes and villains of children’s stories. Stories would include Frozen, Jack and the Beanstalk, Miss Muffet, Pinocchio, Tarzan, Jungle Book, Aladdin, Beauty & The Beast, among others.
Children of the Evil - Parade Building
Deep in the cornfields of Nebraska lies a church, where a cult of children has turned to an ancient evil for survival. Should you enter the church, there is only one way out: Being sacrificed. This house would draw inspiration from Children of the Corn and would be set up as a 70s B movie. House would start off in the church, work it’s way through, enter the sacrificial barn, and then end in a Scarecrow style Cornfield.
Scarezones:
Ripped from the Silver Screen - Producion Central
The IP photo op zone. Think Altars of Horror or The Harvest
Freak Show of the Bizarre - Central Park: Similar to Cirque du Freak from 19.
Body Collectors: Silence of the Night - New York
The Body Collectors have crossed over into 1920’s New York to find new victims.
The Fog - South Street/San Francisco
This zone would cover both South Street & San Francisco and would be based off the 1980 movie.
Universal’s Classic Monsters - Hollywood
Would take place during a 1950s film festival based on the Classic Monsters, coincidentally they would also rise and kill everything there.

I know like maybe two people here care about this haunt, but since I'm working it again, I felt I may as well post something.
There's two new things this year compared to last year. One's a new maze, one's a new scarezone. One of a long-time running maze will not be there anymore.
Idk if I should post them or not. But maybe. I'm sure you'll find out soon if it's not already somewhere on the internet.
I'll be in the new maze as a 'child.' Because both my personality and my stature is that of a child.
I didn't wanna do scarezones because their break scheduling sucks. A lot.
Guessing Toy Factory or Cornstalkers is biting the dust. Toy Factory was amazing last year and the only house where I got legit scared, felt like something at HHN. Constalkers is fun but was severely understaffed all last year, same with Zombie High(but that’s always a dud IMO except for the Prom and Bungee scene).
Is the new house an Orphanage or School or something like that? I really hope it’ll be the Scary Tales zone from last year
So basically the house lineup is:
- Chaos House
- Madame Marie’s Massacre Manor
- Backwoods(AWFUL maze last year; never got a good run through and was really corny but the set design was amazing)
- Roadkill Roadhouse
- New Maze
- Zombie High
- Cornstalkers or Toy Factory
- Wax Museum
* ik it sounds like I hated last year but it’s always a ton of fun, just wish they had more staff.

I know it won't happen, but if Murdy in some way were to at least acknowledge that 2017 had too many black hallways, I would have a degree of hope. He wouldn't even have to address the budget - just admit that last year was a problem.
So let's imagine Stranger Things comes to HHN 2018. Does anyone else easily imagine that anything that takes place in the the Upside Down is just a black hallway with vines on the walls? It's like they wrote that show for Murdy...
I’d hope they’d go with the other images of the Upside Down where it’s blueish and ash falls, but Murdy is probably gonna use the black wall version

So from Murdy's tweets, sounds like he's returning for HHN 2018: Even BLACKER Plywood Hallways!
At least 2017 set the bar really low; about all he can do is trip over it this year.
Idk I have a feeling that after the “meh” reception of last year they’ll up the budget for this year since if something like Stranger Things or IT comes their rights holders wouldn’t let them flop

I should have been more specific. As I'm a Constant Reader, I tend to forget that most don't know the King fandom slang and theories.
The term derives from forwards and afterwards that King has written in his books. These notes to the reader(s) always start with "Dear Constant Reader,".
I can give give a few more explanations about the Ifrit clue.
Frankenstein - form taken by IT due to Victor Criss or Belch Huggins.
The Mummy - Ben's first encounter
The Creature - Eddie Corcoran's encounter. IT actually takes two forms during this encounter. (Random Trivia: Eddie Corcoran's stepfather, Richard Macklin, creates a link between the IT novel and Different Seasons: Rita Hayworth and The Shawshank Redemption)
Leeches - Patrick Hockstetter's encounter. The alterations to Patrick's character in the new movie are one of the more pet peevey things I didn't like. Hockstetter is one of the most disturbing human characters in the novel.
I wonder that if 2017 IT comes whether or not they might borrow a few characters from the book. Probably not, but considering they own the rights to Frankenstein, The Mummy, and The Creature.

Unfortunately, I think that shipped sailed.
Constant Reader is a King fan. Specifically, a Constant Reader is a King book fan.
Ifrit pulled from the book IT.
Example: Rodan is mentioned in IT during Mike's first encounter with it.
Ohhhh sorry I didn’t get that; I thought u meant a constant reader of HNN.
-
Since Ifrits a constant reader I wonder if he can confirm or deny the speculated IP’s; and Scream could definitely happen in future years now that Weinstein isn’t in control

Come on... at least acknowledge where this info is coming from.
Sorry, last year people would get annoyed if you sourced it
-
Word has it from Legacy and the Orlando United forums that Universal locked they’re IP’s very early for 2018, like they booked some in August. The following are IP’s that are most likely coming to HHN 28 so read if you want, and * will indicate if the property has already been leaked as a locked property :
- The Conjuring
- Nightmare On Elm Street*
- Stranger Things*
- Halloween
- American Horror Story: Cult
- IT
Once again, these aren’t confirmed but just be aware that these definitely have a strong chance of coming to the event

Alright I figured it out.
So "The Ifrit" has been tweeting around the time of Thanksgiving which is interesting. He stated in his latest tweet.
"Circle back to the beginning
All of you so quick to pinning
The answer for what lies in wait
To the numbers instead of date"Look up "Lies in Wait" and you get...
"Conceal oneself, waiting to surprise, attack, or catch someone".
The Answer for what conceals/hides itself to the numbers instead of the Date.
Circle back to the Beginning and you shall find the answer. Along with a date. November 23rd = Thanksgiving. So then circle back to the Beginning. How did Thanksgiving come to be?
Look for one who quested on subs:
Squanto.
Two Clubs - Southern New England and the Mayflower Settlers or Pokanoket and the Mayflower Settlers. Pilgrims and the Wampoanoag.
"Will make the Fruit more sweet" = He is famous for helping the early pilgrims survive by teaching them how to plant corn and plant fruits.
They grew enough food and had a successful crop. They celebrated on November 23rd, 1621 the first Thanksgiving with the Pilgrims and the Wampoanoag.
"Shimmering, mad light" = Wampoanoag or the People of the First Light.
Squanto eventually died by the Indian Fever.
"Gather around
Family and friends
He's gone to ground
Is this the end?" ="Without Squanto to pilot them, the English settlers decided against trying the shoals again and returned to Cape Cod Bay."
There was beliefs that Squanto was poisoned but no actual evidence.
"Now is the time for us to feast
But who will feed? You or the beast?"What if Squanto came back?
So basically Roanoke: CC part 2?

I thought a little different.
"Circle back to the Beginning" and "To the Numbers" is what I looked at.
If you want to count his first tweet being "And letting the horror grow. Will make the fruit more sweet". Doesn't matter. It's either the first or second tweet. Which counting all of them is he has tweeted 91 or 92 times. I'm gonna say 91.
"Circle back to the Beginning" which can refer to his first tweet and he has 91 tweets so the first year of HHN Orlando was 1991. The First Maze at the Event was called "Dungeon of Terror".
This could refer to Dungeon of Terror as a Beast could be found in a Dungeon. Plus the Plot Description is...
"Watch as a full cast of madmen and monsters wreak havoc and mayhem within the walls of the dungeons dark, dark depths."
"Monsters" = Beasts
Two Clubs meaning Madmen and Monsters.
There was a sequel to this Maze in 2006 called "Dungeon of Terror: Retold".
Perhaps I'm stretching but if it isn't that then I don't know what it is.
Has he liked the tweet yet? It could be a requel house if it comes into fruition
-
Did y’all see Ifrit’s latest tweet? It seems to be referencing either John Carpenter’s The Thing or a possible Nightengales sequel set in the winter.

I find the tweet "Now it is time for us to feast but who will feed? You or the beast?" strange. When you look it up it's similar to the quote "Now it is time for us to fear but who will feed? You or the beast?".
When you look that up you find two searches "Beauty and the Beast" or "Clash of the Titans". "Beauty and the Beast" could be referring to Wolves. And "Clash of the Titans" could be referring to the Titans of Terror.
But who knows?
Hopefully it’s just an Orlando exclusive...but isn’t it too soon for ToT to be back at both coasts? They just did them in 2016 and 2015

To be fair, that could also be the Creeper from Jeepers Creepers, that one guy from X-Files, or any other number of horror creatures.
True; but his tweet about “Don’t slip” and “mad light” are similar to the ending of IT

how is this referencing it? sorry haven't read the novel or seen the miniseries
In the end of the 2017 movie IT falls into the sewer after being “killed” by the Losers Club. His next tweet references that every 27 years IT, “the beast”, feeds

Would totally be okay with this. As much as I would love 4 originals, I wouldn't count on it
Originals owned this year and I’ve heard that Universal noticed... it not as unlikely as it seems

I can live with that lineup.
Same; I also feel like Trick R Treat could be a possible house due to the Zones popularity but they’ll probably wait

The '80s nostalgia theme came from a convo I had on IU about my concern that It and Stranger Things would be too thematically similar ('80s horror/adventure about a group of young misfits fighting a monster).
Thinking about how big a hit this year's originals were with the "GP" (god I hate using that term, makes me sound like an elitist a-hole), I'd like to think they were actually good by historical standards. Maybe not all timers but I'd like to think if you put them in a year from '02-'11 they hold up ok. In any event, if it gets marketing to allow for 4 originals, that's awesome.
In case anyone can't tell, I REALLY want a NG house next year. LOL
I’d imagine they probably will. Nightengales have been requested for a sequel forever, and they’re historical houses have generally had a good track record(aside from Roanoke). My dream Original house is for a revamped Orfanage or Leave It To Cleaver, never got to do those but they seemed badass. That said IT, Halloween, AHS Cult, and ST are basically given properties they’re gonna wanna bring next year. Since they already have The Conjuring house designed, if the lawsuit works out they’ll probably do it.
I think the lineup for next year is:
- IT
- Conjuring
- Stranger Things
- AHS Cult
- Halloween
- Requel Original
- Sequel Original(Nightengales Please!)
- New Original
- Icon House

I'd love to see an '80s nostalgia-themed HHN. Unfortunately, AHS Cult, Happy Death Day, Purge, and Conjuring are probably requirements (if they can get the rights to the latter, which I'm sure they'll try).
In a second Horrors of Blumhouse, you would have HDD, Purge and the new Halloween, so since Halloween is 80s-ish, that could tie in.
Not sure if it'd be something they'd dare touch. But, a Chernobyl Nightingales house would be interesting.
How have the Nightengales not gotten a sequel is what I’m wondering; between Chernobyl, The Donner Party, Black Plague(Catacombs crossover?), and maybe even something like Ed Gein and they have plenty of events to choose from.

The Ifrit is back. Got absolutely no idea what this could mean (probably anything at this stage!):
Shimmering, mad light
Rippling, foreign, writhing, dead
Grab hold and don't slipChud ritual from IT is my guess. Either that or The Fog

See, but, the joke here was that he's carrying the whole series on his back. The show would absolutely not be fine without him.
Twere a joke. Only this, and nothing more.
Oh sorry; True Evan Peters has been playing way too many people this season. Like it’s kind of annoying tbh
