I think that’s actually a good problem. Despite its most notable flaw, it was still well-received critically that could be enough to come back years from now at a better and more space-y house location.

Somehow I just can’t picture Killer Klowns coming back to Orlando again right now cause they don’t bring back the IP’s too regularly. Walking Dead and maybe Halloween were the only exceptions, and I could picture the Exorcist to be on the list next year, starting with the first and classic installment, then the sequel trilogy years later if they do well in the box office.

A fun question for those who love watching anime: If there’s one show you’d give a horror treatment to build up a house, then what is your pick and why? I know most of y’all will say Demon Slayer, but I‘m still going with Inuyasha and revolve it around Naraku cause of his manipulative abilities, and they’re actually quite terrifying if you picture them more deeply like I did. Sure it may sound like a stray off, but the series does have some horror stems. As much it will never happen, it’s another Youkai show worth mentioning.

These are the IP’s I’d bring back for next year. The Exorcist (The 1973 classic of course, and very likely to be on the table) Nightmare on Elm Street (The 1984 classic, and also my biggest wildcard of the year) The Shining (Not likely on the table unless it becomes an out of the blue rumor)

Sounds a lot like they wanted ST to be a coast to coast house again, but couldn’t simply because of how much Netflix doesn’t trust Hollywood in terms of handling their IP’s. If they decided to make it an Orlando exclusive, then it probably wouldn’t make sense to do it in the market cause of how massively popular it is right now, leaving Legends Collide and The Weeknd as alternatives - that’s my take on the hold up.

Does anyone know the current relationship between Comcast/Universal and Netflix right now? Though it’s good that Stranger Things didn’t came back again and again yearly like the Walking Dead, but I am hoping that nothing has gotten rocky.

I’m gonna go with the Munsters TV series instead of the movie with a “Greatest Hits” experience from the best and most memorable episodes of it, and a black and white lighting effect in case Stranger Things doesn’t come back again. Though Rob Zombie directed some good movies, but he’s usually a hit and miss.

Would be interesting if he went with songs by any of his favorite music acts as clues cause it’d be more challenging and fun.

Fans who are part of the HHN community on sites like here and the Inside Universal forums have always waited for clues from one certain person who somehow have a connection to Orlando’s and Hollywood’s creative teams for the event. Dr. Jimmy used to do this a lot regularly every year until Legacy filled in for him.

When it comes to speculation in recent years, Legacy loves to use animated TV shows as clues to reference the houses. He done it with Rick & Morty at 29, and this year most recently with Seth MacFarlane’s American Dad. What show do you guys think he’ll go next? He said the next clues will be a little more challenging than before, so I’m guessing that he’s gonna do King of the Hill next. If not, then maybe Futurama.

Was checking out the new Slipknot album on the charts. Though it wasn’t able to be on the top of the Billboard 200, but it did very well elsewhere here. It’s the number one album on the Top Album Sales, Top Current Album Sales, Artist 100 (two weeks straight), Top Rock & Alternative Albums, Top Rock Albums, Top Hard Rock Albums, and Tastemaker Albums. Sold almost 60,000 copies at first week. The End, So Far is also the number one album in Germany, Mexico, the UK, Australia, and Switzerland

Though Nosferatu was sort of at the event on certain years. He was an Easter Egg in House of Horror at 22, and the Hive was also inspired by him at 27. But with the classic 1922 film in the public domain, I totally wanna see and walkthrough a house that is exactly based on that movie with a black and white lighting effect to make yourself feel like you’re in the movie. A bit content upgrade won’t hurt, but not too much in order to retain the vintage vibes.

The Invisible Man would have to be the toughest character to revolve around for a house.

I’m leaning more towards on the Phantom the most cause there are some interesting things you could do, and they could even reused some props from Puppet Theater - It’s something we never had before.

I even created my own house idea inspired of Willy Wonka, but it will never happen at this point and it’ll take years for it to enter the US Public Domain. Not sure how well Winnie The Pooh: Blood & Honey did, but I’d welcome it with open arms if we ever get a house based on that movie, and there’s already talks for a sequel.

The biggest “WTF” factor of today in Horror. https://screencrush.com/grinch-slasher-r-rated-horror-movie-mean-one/

Don’t forget Revenge of Chucky from 28, it was so well received critically that it won Scarezone of the year. If you picture it with another IP that isn’t a Universal property, it’s basically a Toy Story themed zone gone wrong with Lotso in charge, and Chucky was sort of playing that type of role other than just being himself.

And what’s worst is Amazon currently owns the first Chucky movie which was part of the MGM buyout. I’d totally be down for a Child’s Play house with puppets and animatronics of Chucky to make me feel like I was in that movie, but that’s a long shot.

I actually created my own house idea inspired by the Jungle Book as a Scary Tales spin-off, and it’s something they really should go next. https://docs.google.com/document/d/11VKaDeRSk25dkj5ZLq_iICYPJF5YgbeIGgbQ501ogiE/edit

I think they technically had done this before with Slaughterhouse from HHN3, which later became an inspiration for Leave It To Cleaver. In case they couldn’t use any IP’s to represent the Slasher sub-genre at the event, they should either bring back the original RUN of what it was supposed to be. Last year, Lights Camera Hacktion won Scarezone of The Year, so this does give Eddie a chance to be an icon. Another Slasher themed house they could bring back -weather as a redo or a sequel- is Hell’s High from HHN8 that featured a Freddy & Jason hybrid who shares the same first name as Myers named Michael Krueger.

Though it turns out it’ll take longer the for Fear Factor stage to be demolished in favor of the rumored Diagon Alley expansion or whatever the replacement it will be in the future, it’s actually not a stretch for them to bring back the MIB tent as an eleventh house location. If not, then they could use either for an escape room attraction or a themed bar/restaurant. I think it works either way, and would make a nice extra addition for the event. Since Supercharged is their worst attraction, I’d want them to gut everything down inside, and leave it be as a location for one house but bigger until it gets a better replacement. Tear that fucker down for good!

Stranger Things is still one of my early predictions, but I don’t think it would mean the 80’s theme would be all over if there is no plans of bringing it back for some reason in favor some other IP. Looking back at the Weeknd’s recent albums, the guy was influenced by new wave and synth-pop (which was big in the late 70’s and 80’s) other than R&B. He’s a fan of the Bad Brains too, and they were part of the hardcore punk movement back then along with Black Flag, Misfits, Dead Kennedys, and Minor Threat.

Alice Cooper was also a big draw for the crowds in 22 even though his Orlando house was a huge let down cause he was more involved with Hollywood and is also buds with John Murdy (who is a die hard). He’s a Rock & Roll Hall of Famer who sold over 50 million copies worldwide, and should receive a lifetime Grammy achievement years from now.

I think Ice Nine Kills is very unlikely. Universal would find them to be too niche. The same could go with the Misfits, Slayer, Gwar, and Cannibal Corpse.

It’s likely they could to go with him again, since Dawn FM was released months ago. Though it wasn’t the number one album on the Billboard 200, but it’s doing well in terms of sales and streaming. He could come back for the event every year or two until he feels like he is done with the horror theme.
