If you have been following LT, I think they basically say that Fear was summoned from the lantern, I think, by the five icons. He has the appearance of thorny branches. I looked for a quote, but I'm sleepy and couldn't find it. Heh.

Exactly. I was excited but I had put it out of my head until today because I didn't have time to sit and anticipate. Plus, I've learned that if you look forward to something enough, it'll just end up disappointing you because your expectations are too high. Haha. Which is basically just rewording what you said. Halo is meh anyway. =p

I've heard this response from a few other people as well. How long have you been attending/following the website? I think for me, the reason I'm so excited is that I only have the last two years to compare it to & this is the first year I've been fully involved from start to finish. I also get scared easily and I viewed the update alone in the dark with my friends on Skype. Perhaps maybe if you have more years of experience with HHN that's why you're disappointed. You have more expectations because you have more from the past to compare it to. Just a thought.

I think there is still more to come for the website. I may be wrong, but we've still got time. =] I enjoyed the update a lot. It's dark and mysterious and still leaves us with an element of surprise. It's gives people just enough to leave them wanting more, which is brilliant to me.

I am extremely excited about everything I've seen so far. This is the first time in the short amount of years that I've been attending that I've been this scared for the event. When I first saw the video of Fear himself talking, I almost cried. I have witnesses, haha. I'm happy that they chose to go in the direction that they are going. Rather than just give us a rehash anniversary year, they opted for new and exciting. If this is any indication of years to come, I can't wait. I would say that I'm especially excited to see certain houses/scarezones but they all seem exciting to me in some ways. The houses that stand out the most to me though are the Orfanage, the LT house and the Hades house. I also want to see what's lurking in Psychoscareapy and the Hallow'd house. The scarezones look AMAZING, just my style. This year is dark, mysterious and full of Fear. It's already shaping up to be my favorite. I can't wait for Employee Preview Night. Just a little under 30 days to go.

Awesome, thank you for that. The images definitely make the houses look more intense. I'm so excited for everything I've seen so far.

I'm guessing that the clown mask is from the Parade building.

Yes, I admit that my lack of knowledge about the event and trusting the words of everyone around me who does know more lead me to believe this was a Caretaker house. I apologize for the misinformation, Jimmy.

As I falling asleep earlier, I was thinking to myself that I can't believe how everything has been in front of our faces the entire time. "Twenty Years of Fear" suddenly makes more sense to me now than it ever did. The faces of the icons dancing around in the flames suddenly makes more sense to me now too. Suddenly everything just clicked. Either way, this year is already poised to be my favorite out of the few that I've attended. On another note, how does what we know now relate to the Shadows of the Past scarezone? WAS that just a red herring?

In other news, the sky is blue, fish swim & we get our update in TWO DAYS! I speculate that it will be AMAZING.

I love that guy. Almost as much as I love the dancing security guard. "ICE COLD BEEEEEEE-ERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!" Gotta love it. I hope he's there again this year.

Nope.

The stone pieces have been moved. They are not in or around the tent.

The main HHN site was working just fine for me about ten minutes ago...and now I'm getting a 403 error again. Hahaha, lovely.

Yeah, I said the same thing. Either we're looking inside the lantern, or we're in the lantern looking out. But the anomalies are definitely part of the lantern.

I was told that the first rehearsal date is September 12th. So about a week & a half before the event starts.

The website has been working fine for me too and now all of a sudden I'm getting a 403 error too. I cleaned my cookies and history and I'm still getting it. I'm hoping this means something good as I was just going to the site to buy my ticket.

I thought it was just a rip of the site though?

I would just like to be more acquainted with LT & with what happened last time so I know a little bit about what to expect since I didn't get to participate last time. I'm sure a lot of people would like to see a virtual record. =]

I know this is off topic & will probably get deleted, it's okay. I don't know where to ask. Does anyone has like...a record of LT from 08? Not the website, but a record of the events that happened? I can't formulate my question properly, my brain just blanked out. Hopefully someone understands my randomness.

Yeah, that seems to be the cast. I'm excited about it. I didn't get to participate last time so this is all new to me, but it's already something I can see myself obsessing over. I love puzzles & logic games. Hopefully they'll wait till Wednesday to update so I don't miss out. =] Wishful thinking...

So does this mean that we'll get to see these photos after the weekend? I hope so. I also hope these photos aren't the photos currently on the HHN site, although I don't think they are. Too bad I will be away from my computer Sunday-Tuesday.

House of 1,000 Corpses is in Hollywood, not Orlando. Thanks.

I noticed that too. I believe, also, that the comments made to that post were deleted. Maybe that's what they were talking about? When I saw that I made a shocked face & said something to the effect of, "Wow. This shit is serious."
