Roadkill013

So does this mean a few of the IPs were delayed due to word getting out about them? Like how The Shining was leaked early or how AvED was leaked that it would be based on the 1st 2 movies not the show.

My rankings: 1-Harvest of Souls 2-Shining 3-Angel/Demons 4-Bayou of Blood 5-AHS 6-Vampires that may be children that's not a comedy house set inside the old Conjuring house...house 7-Ash vs Evil Dead (if it turns out to be the movies it will move up list) 8- Blumhouse 9-Jigsaw *Also I'm going 1st week in Oct...or at least that's my plan. I haven't bought my tickets yet because I do not like buying before I have really anything to go on.

hmm favorite scareactor moments.........one that comes to mind was in the 1st Halloween house in the room with all the Michaels. 1st Michael lunged a knife at my face and it came close. I jumped then the next 2 did the same and the 1st one I guess wanted to have another go so he ran across the room to the exit and lunged his knife back at my face. 2nd moment actually happened to my mom on her first HHN trip back in '13. We were walking toward central park SZ and they had stilt walkers (as they usually do). I suddenly hear her scream my name and goes bolting past me as like 2/3 stilt walkers came chasing after her. Honorable mention: same year we both were waiting at the gate to go in and watching the zombies all bombard the gate. Well when they opened the gate the girl with the teddy bear was waiting a little ways back. Well my mom started walking in and of course the teddy bear zombie came up to her and my mom ran.....in a big circle. Next thing I know there is a line of zombies chasing my mom round and round till she runs off towards NY. Somewhere out there on is a video of this as many ppl were recording.

I read this and my mind went straight to a Humanoids from the Deep house, and how awesome it would be! .

I say yes! I only made it part way into season1 so I'm in need of a little binging.

If the ED house focuses mainly on #2 I may walk through it going dead by dawn!! Side note: I do see the annoyance of having essentially the same house as the one in '13 only with more humor. The thing that is making me excited for this potential house is just how much I love ED 1&2 (2 being my fav). Just seeing Ash with his chainsaw arm and hopefully telling me to shop smart shop S-Mart will make me smile so much. So I see the negatives but I see the positives too. Now if will just get officially announced already.

So all this talk about vampires and having to invite them in reminds me of one of my favorite 80's horror movies which I would love to experience as a house one year... Fright Night!

I would love a Carey, Ohio mashup. So many good stories are set there within HHN lore.

yeah it was in '15 he and Eddie were waiting outside the house.

That house gets a lot of hate, and it might be because it was my 1st year officially attending HHN after 2 previous failed attempts in '07 & '09, but I liked that house a great deal. The little kids reaching out at you from the walls and the fire effects were all top notch.

I'm just going to sit back and let my excitement for HHN fade. I am usually super pumped for HHN around this time because its so close, but this year...meh. We're in July now and have 2 houses announced. I will say I am enjoying the rebirth of speculation that's been happening lately. So please keep it up, its all I have to keep me going regarding HHN.

well the 4th is a tuesday. so they would drop it weds. not saying they will... just something I heard someone mention.

Based on what I've read today....a whole heap of nothing

So I read that next weds is when we will see another announcement. I think it will be our icon (more hoping than anything). What happens a lot on the 4th of July, family and friends get together. What family have I heard about that's being bounced around as a potential Icon(s) this year... oh yeah Dr. Albert Caine and his family. Having missed the year the Caretaker was the icon including HHN 16 I personally would love to see his return.

There are few factors that go into house selection such as space (Insidious was out because of this in '15 and TOA last year). They tend to try and go through the really popular IPs like AHS in '16 and in '14 Halloween and in '15 FvJ and a few originals. Most likely we will see Shining on this years list. As far as if it will happen in the morning or afternoon tours that I'm not sure. Also on a side note (to complain a little) I'm seeing memories on like FB pop up about past house announcements and it's making me more upset that we've reached this dry spell with no communication from marketing. I understand if they don't want to announce a house, but maybe start teasing something. You can tell a major difference now that Mike is not tweeting much any more about HHN.

Its split into 2 tours. The am and afternoon tour. both tend to be about 4 hours each, and if you do both together there is a lunch break in between. I finally had a chance to do a combo tour in 2015 and LOVED!! it. Run went from being a mediocre house for me to well still kinda mediocre but it was a lot more enjoyable knowing what was going on. You also learn about all the little details the design team puts into each house that you really cant see at night. Its also fun to play the game of what year was this prop from and finding all the easter eggs within the house (like the Dead Silence doll and Billy from Saw being ion the Dollhouse of the Damned house in '14 and the shark and Delorean toys in the graveyard in AWIL in '13).

I tend to buy the express pass or do ROF+Express only because I've had to wait in those 1-2 hour lines and wish not to ever again. I will say last year I went with my wife and our 2 friends and I was the only one who had gone before, and they wouldn't listen to my tales of the long lines that could occur and the perks of the express pass. Ended up they left earlier because they didn't want to wait in long lines. This year I'm taking my mom (she's the reason I love horror so much) and my wife for like 5 days so we decided to save a little and not do express. Also I was there the weekend the hurricane hit driving down from SC. Drove down the west coast to Tampa (hurricane was on east coast) to visit my dad then up the east coast home back towards the hurricane I just avoided.

I like to look over old house videos and reviews from past HHNs, and sometimes commercials from past HHNs (idk why but this just pumps me up). Also if there is any IPs based on movies I haven't seen recently I will rewatch them to help me find those little details in houses.

I also must be lucky because I have yet to really see any out right drunk people. I see people drinking, but never causing a scene. I did witness someone try and grab a scareactor in the FDTD house but security was waiting for them at the end of the house. also I'm with you both blinky cup is a must!

outside of an original maze based around a music artist.

I will say in 2013 when it was all TWD all over, alcohol helped me get a little more enjoyment out of the scarezones being nothing but zombies. Having the van stop next to me and unload zombies was cool.

I'm going down the 1st week of Oct for HHN. I will have to check with my wife and see if she'd like to go. This sounds really fun.

Logged in today on my bday hoping for some fresh rumors of changes or confirmations. Oh well. Side note/question: with the rumor of the bayou facede featuring a steamboat, do you think we'll start out in a swamp and move inland? Possibly to a run down shack or plantation

I'm curious if they are following USH schedule of releasing info in July

I'm curious if the rumor of growing corn for the scarecrow maze is true. If so would we see a façade that resembles 14's field of screams?
