Sinfear

Candyman hasn’t been at the event yet. If we ever see it, I want it to be the original movie from 1992 at the event. Maybe half the house 1992 and the second half 2021, but I’d love to see the first movie come to the event.

I enjoyed SCarey as well even though I ranked it pretty low. Overall felt like they should’ve put that one in a soundstage or a parade building. Case Files was sort of a compilation house as well and that was in my top 5 of last year. And Universal Monsters from 29 was so so good. I feel like The Purge tainted the Horrors of Blumhouse houses because the general consensus of the first two was The Purge just didn’t work.

I agree completely with this statement. The Blumhouse compilations have been kinda lackluster(not sure about this year’s Blumhouse, haven’t gone yet). When you have a mashup like All Nite Die-In where you can have a huge amount of properties, then I like that, as you’ve got a lot of variety. Or a Slaughter Sinema-style house, despite that being an original, a lot of variety there too. I have heard some positive things about this year’s Blumhouse, however, I honestly believe they shouldn’t do anymore.

Yeah, seeing other Stephen King properties like IT or Carrie would be really cool at the event. Unfortunate we won’t see those happen though.

Yooooo, I would LOVE a Slipknot house at HHN. They are one of my favourite bands and I think they have the right kind of imagery for it to work. If we are to get another music house next year at 32, Slipknot and Ice Nine Kills are my top wishes.

Wait, we already have potential IP information about next year? That’s interesting

I would love a Shaun of the Dead house but yeah, not too sure if that would come next year.

I’m kinda surprised we have HHN 32 speculation already. The IPs I expect at next year’s event are Creature From The Black Lagoon, Blumhouse’s Exorcist Reboot, The Thing, Scream, and Chucky. I would’ve loved to have seen them do another Resident Evil game house but because the Netflix show was awful, I feel that diminishes the chances. If we get another music artist, I’d love to see Ice Nine Kills or Slipknot but not super sure of the likeliness of those.

I’m very curious to how the runs of the houses, scarezones, and shows will go for me when I attend the two nights next month. I’ve been avoiding any sort of photos and videos of the event and just reading people’s personal thoughts on their runs. This year sounds solid and I bet a lot could potentially change in the next month, making some houses rise and drop in people’s rankings and reviews. Getting more and more excited to return to the fog.

The team member preview tidbits are interesting to read. Some houses I definitely expected to be praised heavily and others that look like they most likely will improve later in the season.

My party typically does two nights so last year, night one in Springfield and night 2 New York. This year, one of our two nights is R.I.P Tour for the first time so I guess whatever our favourite house is this year, night two will be that specific area lol

That makes a lot more sense now. I wonder if they’ll potentially open up a lot of the food booths for stay and scream or if they’ll open them when the event officially kicks off.

Interesting. Whichever location has Dead Man’s Pier i exactly where I’ll be lol.

100% agreed. Those three houses look like they’re gonna be fan favs and listening to Universal’s podcast about the originals has me thinking those three may make my top three this year.

Here’s my guess on the average wait times: Legends Collide- 100+ minutes Halloween- 120+ minutes Blumhouse- 70+ minutes Weeknd- 120+ minutes Bugs- 60+ minutes Descendants- 75+ minutes Coven- 90+ minutes Dead Man’s Pier- 90+ minutes Chupacabras- 80+ minutes Hellblock- 70+ minutes

Hmmm. Definitely won’t be as busy as 28 and 29 but definitely busier than last year. We’ll definitely be seeing crowds but I don’t think any wait times will be over 120 minutes but nothing under 50 minutes either.

Yes!!! Scares at 100% again. Glad to have the confirmation

Not surprised The Weeknd isn’t on any of the tours. Usually one IP isn’t. My party is doing 3 house tour and while I am excited to do Halloween, Coven, and Chupacabras, I am sad that I don’t get to see Dead Man’s Pier on the 3 house.

The food looks really good this year. I’m most excited to try the candy corn ice cream cookie sandwich, pepperoni pizza skulls, and that haunted horseshoe burger thing. And I think we’re exactly one week from opening night.

Oh, nice! That’s always great to hear the event running as late as possible, especially for us HHN addicts lol. RIP Tour Podcast on their twitter released some pics they took at the park today of the food stands and their menus. A lot of the dishes sound tasty and I am so so happy that Leave It To Cleaver has a food booth going on.

I mean, the best advice I have is something my party tried last year. Stay n Scream with express passes. We ran like five houses the first night without express and came back to them later on with express passes. for those who like going to Diagon Alley, go during HHN, as it’s kind of empty depending on the day.

I’m so excited to see those billboards when I fly out in October

I guess I should do my hype list too. 10. The Horrors of Blumhouse(I’m cautiously optimistic about this one) 9. The Weeknd: After Hours Nightmare(I feel this has a lot of potential) 8. Hellblock Horror(The synopsis reminds me of the bloodbath in The Cabin In the Woods, which is one of my favourite movies and a house I wish I got to do from the past) 7. Descendants of Destruction(Have no idea if this is a Seeds sequel, but the setting and idea of feral and mutant humans sounds neat. Potential for scariest house) 6. Halloween(Excited to experience the original but I do have some concerns) 5. Fiesta De Chupacabras(I love the idea of the chupacabras and villagers trying to kill you. High potential for gore house) 4. Spirits of the Coven(I love witches in horror and Halloween, and I’m excited for this one) 3. Universal Monsters: Legends Collide(I love the Monsters houses so they’re gonna get me hyped every time) 2. Bugs Eaten Alive(I love the concept, and I’m excited to see everyone around me terrified lol. I’ve wanted this concept for a few years now) 1. Dead Man’s Pier: Winter’s Wake(I’ve watched numerous videos of Dead Man’s Wharf and this is the number one scarezone from the past I wish I got to experience. I’m beyond excited to experience the house version and I’m expecting this to have some of the best set designs) 5. Conjure the Dark(Cautiously optimistic. I love witches but this scarezone location can get quite crowded and the selfie crowd could become a problem) 4. Scarecrow: Curse Soil(I expect a lot of scares in this zone and I like that there’s apparently gonna be a barn type setting) 3. Horrors of Halloween(Pumpkin Lord, Lil Boo and traditional Halloween stuff? Sign me up) 2. Graveyard: Deadly Unrest(Okay, I love graveyard and cemetery settings so visually, I’m gonna be pleased. Just hoping the execution is great) 1. Sweet Revenge(Super excited for this one. Gives me Leave It To Cleaver and Psychoscareapy: Unleashed vibes based on the synopsis and the different photos of the zone. Fingers crossed that Major Sweets candy will be available for purchase in the tribute store) Halloween Nightmare Fuel: Wildfire(Didn’t attend the show last year but I’m curious of this year’s show. I’m pretty sure I’ll get to see it on my R.I.P. Tour) Ghoulish: A Halloween Tale(Very very excited for this show. I loved both Marathon of Mayhem shows so I’m hoping it lives up to them)

Let’s goooooo!!! I’m pumped for all the originals. Most hyped house is Dead Man’s Pier and most hyped scarezone is Sweet Revenge.

I’ve seen a theory similar to that one. It would make a lot of sense. Considering this is in a sprung tent, I am counting on this house to be one of scariest ones this year.
