Basic HHN is still better than most others do.

Had already canceled my plans to go so most of my disappointment is for those that were still hoping. You have my empathy. Would still love to see what was planned for this year. Odds are by next year somethings will change. Not sure how the licensing will work and if they will still get to use all or any IPs they originally had. Plus budget will play a huge part depending on what happens between now and then.

Haunting of Hill House. Hope they have a lot of hidden ghosts for us to find.

I’m hoping that at most, she is recording an original song for the lagoon show and they can market it as Marathon of Mayhem 2 featuring Billie Eilish.

Conjuring 3 comes out this year. “A third will exist”

Mary really would be the best icon for this year. I was fortunate enough to go to 18 and the story and website was the best. Never felt more immersed because of all of the Easter eggs and references throughout the park. Anyway, Mary was all about two things: Fear and the past. To take us back through the mirror to look at our past would fit perfect for an anniversary year. Candy man would also make a lot of sense as he basically is a variation of Bloody Mary. Keough is for Francis Patrick Keough, he was the archbishop Of Baltimore that used the motto and crest. Not sure if there is any significance.

Since the movie is probably never gonna get made, could the Chiodo brothers work with Uni to get Return of the Killer Klowns from Outer Space in 3D as a maze next year instead. Combo IP and original maze.

Until Dawn would be awesome if they did a gimmick where the maze would branch off in different directions which would have different scenes so the experience can be different on multiple trips. As much as I love Resident Evil 7, playing it in VR is the most terrifying experience so it feels like going through a maze already. Dead Space would be my top pick for a video game adaptation. Interstellar Terror was an amazing scene maze and picturing that with creatures from Dead Space would be amazing Doom would be a great maze to use puppets For all the giant demons plus is a very well known IP An Evil Within maze actually was done by Warner Bros movie world in 2014 I think. Not saying Uni couldn’t do it better but still has already been done.

To make a very long complicated story short: HHN XV featured the Storyteller as the icon telling the story of Terra Cruentus and the Terra Queen who ruled over the land. She was like a sub-icon for the year. I believe part of the reason for this was Creative felt she was not very marketable and so created the storyteller. All the mazes were tied into a giant story that involved the forging of a blade that was used nightly to “sacrifice” a victim. The final night of XV the Terra Queen Sacrificed herself but basically made a “prophecy” she would return in 15 years ,eg HHN30. There is Soooooo much more to this story so advise you to look it up. Also one of the best HHN websites they ever did. Side note: My dog Terra is named for her royal highness the Terra Queen

Speculation: 1. Psychoscareapy-Return to Shadybrook 2. Hellraiser-Not my fav franchise but they have been wanting to do it long enough 3. Halloween-either 6 or 2018 4. IT 5. All Night Die In-Final Cut 6. Jack’s Not so Funhouse-Jack’s Last Laugh 7. Screamhouse-The last Sacrifice 8. Zombieland 9. Dungeon of Terra Cruentes- Full credit to FaceBagman. This IS too perfect a name. 10. Aliens- not too sure now that this is owned by the rodent down the street but still wishful thinking. In My Dreams: Arkham Asylum Monster Squad Star Trek:Borg Tales from the Crypt

I pledge to continue to really hope I can go.

My guess for the new clue is Sinister. New movie coming out and 3 homes scene of the crime could refer to how all the murders were connected

Quick thought about the house that is "WAY" outside typical horror. Could be a BORG maze.

I'm thinking the dust witch will be the primary icon and jack might be a secondary. Maybe the carnival of carnage is returning and jack caught new characters but he cannot control them and they are running amok but the dust witch wants revenge on Jack.

Dust witch.
