This is a copy of the email that I got a few minutes ago, since someone asked: (when I saved it, it was titled zzz_hhn_reveal2_)

When I got the email, the thing on the top of the lantern looked a lot to me like an anchor with tentacles. Then again, it also looks like roots of a tree to me. There's my two cents for the day.

They audition for stilt walkers every year. There were stilt walkers in the Cirque Du Freak last year & in various other places the year before. Every time Universal has an audition for some event whether it be HHN, Mardi Gras or Macy's, they ask for stilt walkers...

Haha I think part of his pacing was because he wasn't able to speak. I like that idea though. Though, Cindy & The Caretaker had free roam. I always though that meant something.

It's my understanding that the GA approves of Jack the most, though die hard fans mostly don't. I agree there's a lot to the audio we're missing & I still don't understand why The Usher was even in the SZ since he wasn't really present. Besides the icons, what do you think all the other actors in the SZ mean?

I heard the same about most of the clues being in the audio, but not all. I still think people took/take the SZ too literally & need to step back & look at differently. About the vortex, they're on contract to use a prop? That seems weird, idk. I have no experience with 3D houses either. I'm not even sure I fully know what that means...

I've been thinking about this since you posted it. If that's true then the audio clip from last year COULD have been a clue to this Mythology type house if that is indeed what it is. On another note, I'm still curious about this vortex. Is that like the thing that was in Chucky or something different? Yeah, I'm pulling for straws. I got nothin new.

I don't know about every year since last year was my first year having one, but last year I was able to go the first Thursday & Friday. They also opened up the last weekend to pass members too.

I'm still waiting for a reply to this question since I'd like to know too. I didn't go that year either (my first year was 2008) so I don't know much about her story & whatnot. They may be totally unrelated, I honestly don't know. From what I read it was "Halloween Horror Nights XX" as for a subtitle, I don't know.

One of my roommates works overnights at UO/IOA & came home the other day & told me that they have started construction for HHN in parts of UO. This, turned out to be true. However, my roommate also told me there was going to be 10 houses. I somewhat believed him only because he isn't big into HHN and doesn't go searching for rumors & news. On the other hand, I don't because well, it's been confirmed & he mainly works in IOA & is rarely in UO to see/hear anything first hand. Though I will be asking him to keep an eye out from now on! Even if his "news" is false, any news right now is good to me. I'm a speculator at heart.

I think I saw your video about this list. This all happened while I was away from the vault. Boo. But I will agree, as soon as I saw these scene names pop up today & read the Medusa/Gordon part the first thing that popped into my mind was this list & the part about Hades. That seems to make sense. So maybe there was indeed a bit of fact to that list. With that said, like I mentioned earlier last year was only my second year so for me to think that UO might bring back some houses or house ideas that people on this forum seem to agree were some of the best, makes me excited. Gives me hope that I might be able to see a new generation or re-vamp of past favorites. I took wish I had a DeLorean so I could visit the HHN past. ANY house with ghosts is bound to scare the crap out of me as ghosts are a big fear of mine. (Not so much the friendly ones, but more like the scary demonic types.) /end ramble

Forgive me, I'm new. I don't know how to quote...haha. But, I agree. I remember reading somewhere during HHN last year during the last week to look closer for more clues. It always made me think that what was on the surface wasn't necessarily to be taken at face value & perhaps was a metaphor of some sort that we'll be clueless to until HHNXX. Or perhaps I'm wrong. I just don't think that UO would flat out give us all the info for next year with a scarezone at the end of the run. There has to be some twist to it that perhaps we aren't seeing.

Also, I think there was a lot in Shadows of the Past that people missed or took too literally. It could have meant a plethora of things.

Hokay. First post here. Hey, hi & whatnot. I pretty much spent all day yesterday reading this entire thread to catch up and find out what's going on since...the other place is on hiatus? Anyhoo, I for one, was ecstatic to even get a small glimpse into this years event with the scene names. They could be a throw off, they could be dead on, but either way it's something to ponder. Now, I'm all for mythology, because aspects of it are in fact creepy, but how could mythology tie in to a reunion/scrapbook/family tree/etc.? I'm somewhat of an HHN n00b still. Last year was my second year but the first year I got to experience it more than once, so forgive me for not being up to par with my HHN history. Also, I rather liked the family tree idea & the idea of Hypnos/Morpheus. Anything has to be better than last year right? I mean, don't get me wrong, I enjoyed last year. I just feel they dropped the ball in some areas (costuming & makeup mainly...) Anyway, there's my 2 cents & they're probably lame. =]
