Hey guys! This is my first post (nice to meet you all.) I've spent the past couple hours reading through your fine forum here (alotta information floating around in my brain right now O_O) but I thought I'd just post a few things on my mind :]
I was reading through and somebody mentioned the whole "Jack the Ripper" thing. That isn't the first time I've heard of that rumor. I saw a picture someone took (I'll see if I can find a link to it) of a plaque someone posted in the park during HHN last year. it was a marker announcing the death of one of Jack the Ripper's victims; Lisa, I believe her name was. I doubt they'll use The Ripper as an icon, but maybe this means we'll see something to do with the Body Collectors this year? Just a thought...
Also, I have considered (as a couple other ppl here have mentioned) the use of the Cryptkeeper. I mean he WAS the first icon (not counting Jack). If this is supposed to be the shadows of the past, then why not?
Finally, I stumbled on a little piece of info I thought I'd share: I've heard Universal is in negotiations with NLC (return of the Big 3?) but they haven't reknewed their contract to use Bloody Mary just yet. :/ These are all rumors, of course, but thats what speculation is all about :]
Anyway, those are my thoughts I look forward to reading more about what you crazy kids have to say
