Confirm
Nice; did John say anything about The Conjuring fiasco or are they just gonna act like it never happened

There are only three as far as I know: Hell-O-Ween, Toxic Tunnel, and Urban inferno
Can you confirm or deny that French Street is gonna be used for Horrors of Blumhouse?

The Horrors of Blumhouse. Insidious: Beyond the Further.
In response to your USH forum post, I wouldn't dare leak the ending of AHS. All I will say is this: It is bitchin' and mad unexpected. I doubt anyone would have ever guessed what it is.
Any specifics on Roanoke besides the ending?

How sure of we of the house content in "The Fallen?"
Very sure. Based on images released by Universal there is definitely a house that:
(1) Has a portion set in a Cathedral
(2) Features an underworld with Satanic imagery
(3) In the underworld that looks similar to Catacombs
(4) Dead angels
Based off of the leaked house concept Angels vs Demons this is a definite match. It's also understandable looking at the concept art how this maze could be interpreted as a "Gothic meets Catacombs" maze; which imo would've been really good too.

How come they don't put some of these Ip in actual inside venue?
Because they're not available. Hollywood's soundstage venues are used for movies and TV shows so HHN can't use them unless they're free

Will anyone in the know be able to tell us what happened behind closed doors with the "Soul Collectors?"
And will the drama have an effect on the actual event quality? Everything I've heard about the houses themselves sounds great.
From what I've heard all the houses are top notch quality and could win HoTY, it sounds like there's no duds. The only awkward thing you may notice is that the house codenamed Hive is gonna look a lot like the Conjuring.

Another incident from this year I wanted to point out was that Insidious was originally a house in the MIB tent but was scrapped in favor for the Blumhouse Mashup(at least this is what I've heard). Additionally(according to rumors), half of the Blumhouse maze is Insidious with the other half being half Sinister and half Purge. If the Insidious rumor is true then that means the initial lineup planned was:
AHS: Asylum, Coven, Roanoke; SS??
The Shining; SS22
Ash vs Evil Dead*; Parade Building
Saw; Shrek Queue
The Conjuring; Sprung 2
Insidious: MIB Tent
Bayou of Blood/Dead Waters: SS24
Angels vs Demons: SS24
Scarecrows: Sprung 1
* = AvED was initially rumored to be based on Evil Dead 1 & 2 and use the name for promotion, which has yet to be proven(in terms of if it initially was an Evil Dead house) aside from early leaks

I feel like AHS Roanoke is gonna be house of the year(either this, Blumhouse, or ToT) because of how much content there is and how good the content is. The woods and Polk scenes alone should be terrifying; that farmhouse facade is gonna be amazing to see in person

I'm pretty sure they planned on doing something more with the Soul Collector idea and it fell through. I also think that countdown was originally for something much better than a damn wallpaper. I swear, I want a tell-all book from the Universal staff about this year's horror nights. There's no way all of this was just out of pure laziness. Some kind of shit had to have gone down.
Yeah; this years been very chaotic behind the scenes and some incidents have been obvious(Conjuring turned into Hive) while some are still highly unknown(Collectors)

Awwww darn, ok thanks!
It seems odd to me as I thought both Jack and Chance were successful the past two years, even if Chance's house and scarezone wasn't as well received.
Agreed; they had a really good concept with the Soul Collectors too and could've used that to their advantage

I'm sorry I have seen it kinda discussed but no direct answer really and I know we won't get one until Universal says but what are we leaning towards in terms of Icon or no icon? Will one happen or no...?
No icon

What's hive? Is that just our most recent name for the conjouring replacement(I can't spell)
Hive is the Universal codename for the Vampire house that replaced Conjuring

I'm curious to see how Angels vs Demons & Bayou of Blood/Dead Waters turns out. AvD seems to be a very interesting concept in particular due to its "battle over creation" theme

So yes the marketing & announcements have sucked tremendously on both coasts this year.... BUT I noticed something odd about this year as well. The HHN facebook page hasn't posted/shared announcement artwork for each maze announcement like they used to do every year. On top of that, their cover photo is STILL AHS.
Its very underwhelming. It crossed my mind anytime I see a past maze announcement in the "on this day" section.
I think marketing for Hollywood has been good this year solely because of Mr. Murdy. There's been a lot of missed opportunities for announcements but that's been due to the rights holders(Conjuring incident, Ash vs Evil Dead delayed announcement), but I think Universal's handled it well. I'm just glad we don't have Orlando's marketing team, the word "soon" would be a pain in the a** if we had to hear it for two consecutive months

I know we are still waiting on the original house announcements....but I just don't undertand some of Uni's choices here. WE have a festival, which is supposedly a quasi-over-arching theme, but no leader to said activity? Are we in for another surprise here, but why would you announce the Icon last if so? But if we are really just getting this zone of mascots instead an Icon, I'm not sure how much sense it makes. I thought Uni had seen the errors of their ways when we finally returned to having them 2 years ago. It has to be easier to drive advertising, marketing, in-park merchandising sales, etc. (I'm sure we could think of more). Hopefully we get hit with a surprise outta left field...unless someone else can shed light on any of this?
The Soul Collectors say hi

Invasion! looks badass, so does Altars of Horror; when do you guys think they'll announce the original houses?

Updates from the forums on the quality of the original maze names, credit to Legacy;
Angels vs Demons(previously suspected to be Gothicombs): A creative & memorable name
Voodoo(previously suspected to be Bayou of Blood): Creative
Scarecrows & Soul Collectors: Terrible name
Vampire: Bad name that works for the house
Also, just a reminder to everyone that apparently every house this year is strong, and that if actors deliver there should be no duds(a la Lunatic's Playground).

The most surprising thing is how Universal's twitter isn't making as stupid comments right now; like they're actually decent

I seriously doubt the incident in Hollywood had anything to do with this. Either they think this show has run its course, and it's time for something new. Or, the theater is being torn down, and logistically it won't work.
A B&T shirt would be most excellent
From what Legacy said on the forums he made it sound like it's getting harder to write parodies because of how quickly pop culture moves nowadays. He said you could write something in June and it's already dated by October so if I had to guess they just might be having a hard time writing, as well as Universal thinking the show has run it's course

Bill and Ted's bogus Halloween journey would make a great house for an anniversary year.
And it probably will be; this was inevitably gonna happen due to the incedint in Hollywood though so as much as I'll miss it I'm not surprised

Apparently in Wikipedia's code we're getting a maze called "Krampus: Electric Boogaloo" so very excited for that(it's definitely a joke). The page shouldn't be taken seriously but I'm surprised John hasn't noticed it yet

Click the link, scroll down to Event Summaries and go into Hollywood's 2017 section. Someone on the forums brought it up & sure enough the entire lineup(including our last two houses) are in there

Also, do you think we'll be having an announcement this week? Tomorrow (Tuesday) is the one month mark. It'd be great to announce something then.
I heard somewhere Jigsaw could be announced today

In a construction video of the JP maze (Insidious) the right window on the facade inside it looks like a silhouette of a traditional ghost. Idk if it was just a reflection or a prop or just a random sheet, but from the chapter 4 screening I do not recall seeing a traditional ghost , maybe they added it after.
Was the JP house in Chp 4 or no?

Ok; in AHS will there be anything based off of the fake trailers?
