  1. i actually dont mind LT getting cut if we get better stuff in the park. or that the website is so bare-bones

    Honestly, if LT this year would be like LT last year, I'd rather that money be spent on houses/SZ's instead. As much fun as running around the park for no reason other than to get virtual points that don't mean anything is...

  2. So I did an in-depth, quick 4 minutes of web researching, and it looks HalloweenMovies.com, the source of the leak, is owned by Compass International Pictures, a defunct company now owned by Trancas International Films, Inc. They own the rights to Halloween 1, 4, and 5. So it looks like the rights holders were ready to announce, which leads me to think that the hold up is on Universal's side.

    Another thing to consider, though, is what the house content will be, and if that's affecting the announcement. Universal owns the rights to Halloween 2 and 3, and Dimension owns the rights to 6 - 10, and any new films. Maybe, if the house is a best of, they're having issues with Dimension? Otherwise, it seems like the rights are all lined up.

    I'm of course by no means saying that I think the house has been cancelled or anything, it's just odd that this hasn't been announced yet. Particularly since they went ahead and announced the original content already, and that's been saved for last the past few years.

  3. That's a good point. this picture has to belong here. I forgot the windeigo has a deer head in many versions. However, in the description, they said they were justifing their killings by believing they were windego. So may not see a "real" one

    If you look at the picture I posted, it looks like we see three stages of the Wendigo transformation. The mask on the right is the most human, with the lips chewed off. The one just to the left has a mostly human head, but the face has been peeled away to reveal something a more monstrous. And the head at the top is the creature more (or fully) transformed. My guess is that the colonists are possessed, and then transformed, into a physical manifestation of the Wendigo.

  4. From the blog on the Roanoke colony:

    What’s this business about the “spirit of Wendigo?”

    I’m pretty sure my family rented one of those for a road trip when I was a kid.
    I think that’s a Winnebago… The spirit of Wendigo is something much more sinister. It’s actually a mythical Native American creature that curses all those who ingest human flesh. These people have snapped, and they have to somehow justify their cannibalism. They think they’re being possessed by the Wendigo spirit. They start eating their own mouths. They’ve chewed away their lips. They’ve just completely lost it.


    WENDIGOS!!!! OHMANHMANOHMANOHMAN

    This is officially my most eagerly anticipated house now! And from FB, could that mask in the upper left be one of the full creatures?!

  5. Oh Good Doctor, why? See know I have my own hopes for our Crows.

    Allamagoosalum is a word Stephen King used to describe a M'ikmaq boogeyman. Let's mix it all together shall we?

    Storm of the Century + a mythic Native American monster(Allamagoosalum) + the Gentlemen(The Man in the Black Suit) = the premise of this house.

    Here's a description of The Man in the Black Suit:

    "a man in a black three-piece suit with as is described in the story, glowing, burning eyes, as if there's a fire inside him, looming over him, with pale skin and claws for fingers, and horrible, sharp, shark-like teeth when he grins. "

    A King homage house. Now my hopes are up!

    And that bubble just keeps getting bigger and bigger. :D

  6. It's been repainted, it looks like. My gut says it's not our Colony though. The Gentlemen have too stoic an expression to work in that house, I think.

    I just can't, for the life of me, remember what the third original is.

    I've been thinking, based on the clues we've gotten, and if it is indeed for the colony house, it could (and I stress could, as this is just speculation with no proof) possibly be Wendigos assaulting Roanoke. Their folklore would fit everything I've heard about this house, and if the LT house label were to make a comeback, it would be a good fit. Plus, those BC masks could work with just a bit of modification.

    Per Wikipedia (I know, I know): The Wendigo (also known as windigo, weendigo, windago, windiga, witiko, wihtikow, and numerous other variants including manaha)[1] is a demonic half-beast creature appearing in the legends of the Algonquian peoples along the Atlantic Coast and Great Lakes Region of both the United States and Canada.

    It all seems to fit.

  7. Hey, If Mystique's allowed to have her bubbles, I'm allowed to have mine. :) But I do hope Ritual comes back. I was very much looking forward to exploring that house.

    To use the Holmesian maxim: "eliminate the impossible and whatever remains however improbable must be true" we can deduce what we have based on dedeuctive reasoning.

    *excellent analysis*

  8. I'm not saying there will be, and I very much doubt it myself. But why so certain that they wouldn't? The event has been getting increasingly busy each year, and more and more complaints are popping up about long lines and the event being too expensive for what they offer. Why not add a ninth house to help ease crowds and increase value?

  9. umm they weren't charlie splitfoot and never trust wikipedia

    According to the Wiki (and believe me, I know about the credibility, but it's all I have to go by right now), the two Fox sisters referred to the entity as Splitfoot, who then identified itself as Charles. B. Rosna. Sorry, my grammar was a bit awkward in my last post. So that's two direct, connected references to the image Cassilda posted.

  10. I think it connects to the Fox Sisters, as they tapped to communicate with spirits, and had one case of interacting with Mr. Splitfoot:

    From Wikipedia:

    During the night of March 31, Kate challenged the invisible noisemaker, presumed to be a "spirit", to repeat the snaps of her fingers. "It" did."It" was asked to rap out the ages of the girls. "It" did. The neighbours were called in. Over the course of the next few days a code was developed where raps could signify yes or no in response to a question or be used to indicate a letter of the alphabet.

    The girls addressed the spirit as "Mr. Splitfoot" which is a nickname for the Devil. Later, the alleged "entity" creating the sounds claimed to be the spirit of a peddler named Charles B. Rosna, who had been murdered five years earlier and buried in the cellar. Doyle claims the neighbors dug up the cellar and found a few pieces of bone, but it wasn't until 1904 that a skeleton was found, buried in the cellar wall. No missing person named Charles B. Rosna was ever identified.

    I'm wondering if this may a connection be for one of our original houses? Maybe a "based on truth" house? Wasn't Afterlife something similar last year?

    And on an interesting note, it looks like at one point they stayed with some Quakers. Margaret Fell was a leader of the Quaker movement. Could there be a LT connection buried here?
