mystiquephreeq Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Ifrit posted an additional clue for the image of the man. I have asked for clarification, because the additional clue confused me. It mentions the letters mcod. In the initial clue, there does not appear to be a d. So, I've asked if the letter thought to be a p is a d. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunnylvr Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I find it hard to believe we have a complete "list" of all the houses. I mean, I expect IPs, but to have a majority of them as IPs? Really? What about the 100 year anniversary of Universal Monsters?? What about their original houses ala Gothic and Dead End? Those are my FAVORITES. I'm not complaining about the IP houses - I grew up with AWIL, and it fascinated me, so I'd LOVE that; I also loved Cabin and Evil Dead (but those have so many similarities.. it's like: PICK ONE). I don't know.. I'm not buying it. Maybe I'll eat these words later, but I simply cannot and will not believe they would not address the 100 year anniversary. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDW Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 Welcome to a new "era or darkness". lol Honestly they have done the classics to death. '09 and just last year are the most recent ones that come to mind. The GP doesn't know this is 100 years of horror. They probably barely knew is was 100 years of Universal last year... and only bc they had it pushed on them in advertisement. I don't like the IP to original ratio... But is it really a surprise? Last year was nearly just as bad. Now we have the same amount of originals... but one extra IP. Hardly a stretch. I knew the powers that be would see the insane crowds as a positive response to the changes... I knew that before the event even happened last year. I'm sure we are getting better stories this year. But as for what is presented by marketing? I'm a lot less confident. I'm assuming TWD will be there advertisement... or something like that. Maybe Cabin in The Woods. But the main site I'm concerned will be just like last year. Simple info for the uninitiated. HTML 5 with little to no frills. I would guess the games will be back again as we already know HU/LT is doing stuff. But I'm not expecting a '05, '08, '09.... or even a '04 site. I just don't see it that the powers that be feel there is value in it... I hope I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legacy Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I just don't see it that the powers that be feel there is value in it... I hope I'm wrong. The sad reality is that, with the crowds last year saw, there's proof that there ISN'T a true value in fancy websites and original stories. All the compelling website games, canonical stories and unique characters don't matter to a general public whose ONLY interest is TV, movies and alcohol.Horror Unearthed, Legendary Truth, Carey, are designed and directed to a fraction of attendees who buy their Frequent Fear Passes sight-unseen and will attend multiple nights regardless of what is presented. From a financial perspective, I don't really blame the powers-that-be operating things they way they are now. From an artisitic view-point it pisses me off, but theme parks aren't about artistry (despite how much fans like to say they are). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boogeyman13 Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Honestly, I'm surprised I'm not upset by this ratio. But I think it'll be a good year. I'm expecting some actual SZ's this year, and the 100 Years of horror will probably be addressed by the lagoon show, which I'm assuming is returning. Maybe it's also the stepped up game presence, but I'm excited for this year. If the rumored show turns out to be true, I think we're going to have a fun, varied year. And there will be more people eaters available, which is always a good thing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think this list of houses is IT. At all. Something doesn't fit or sound right, and the lack of an anniversary is almost too weird. CiTW is, as I have mentioned in the past, a fantastic way to handle the 100 years of horror idea. But that's just me. More importantly, can we please talk about Dr. Jimmy's mention of the Rocky Horror rumor?!?!?!?!?!?! SO EXCITED ERMAHGERD.....I would die. Please, HHN gods, PLEASE let Rocky Horror replace the magic shows.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please, HHN gods, PLEASE let Rocky Horror replace the magic shows.... I think it's too early to be "sure" of anything. My first impulse was to say, "Well, shit, if this really is the deal, then my thoughts of flying down THREE times for this year is scrapped." We flew down twice last year, and it was awesome to get to experience everything for two whole weekends. I know, I know, you all get it every weekend, but this was a big deal for us... so much so, that we were already figuring the logistics of the trifecta. So, I'll just sit back and watch you all speculate because I SUCK at it, and then we'll see what actually sticks. I'll make the decision on travel much, much later. Rocky Horror would be great if they didn't tame it down to a cheesy G rating. I mean, seriously, WTF - this isn't Disney which is why I love it so much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ecto_Freak Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 If it is the list, its the list.. We cant do anything about it.. Am I disappointed? Yes and no Yes cause Im old skool HHN and would love to see the stuff the minds can come out with on there on, but sadly $$ sales and this will break in the crowds. HHN is one giant commercial these days, but A&D still likes the fans and they do care about us.. Hell the site may suck but LT/HU was created to bring us a new form of interactive outside the main site and it worked. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mystiquephreeq Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) Part 1: Image of man. The letters SMCFSUHJFBPMO appear over is eyes. Part 2: Sometimes a different method helps when things remain the same. Don't get caught within your cage and figure out the mcod. Part 3: How this series ends is how this series began; the tool remains the same Ponder on patterns, couplets and rhymes, and you will figure out the MCOD. The tool is obviously still the phone pad. SMCFSUHJFBPMO = 7623784532766 MCOD = 6262 With patterns and clues, highlighted and underlined respectively, MCOD also = name. 7 = PQRS 6 = MNO 2 = ABC 3 = DEF 7 = PQRS 8 = TUV 4 = GHI 5 = JKL 3 = DEF 2 = ABC 7 = PQRS 6 = MNO 6 = MNO ROBERT GLEASON This would have to be a loosely based character. A very loosely based character. Gleason was executed in Greensville Corrections Center this year. Edited May 20, 2013 by mystiquephreeq 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the clue, GAME and NAME seem to be the only words that make contextual sense. Was that mug-shot figured out at all? If not, maybe that's what this is the cipher-key for. I'm assuming by "series" it means the prison clues that just started. So the tool would be the phone-pad that Heather used to find the coordinates.EDIT - Heather beat me to it.And Robert Gleason... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/19/robert-gleasons-last-words_n_2511254.htmlThe only thing of note seems to be that he chose electricution over lethal injection.

PsychoMassacreFilms Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Dr. JImmy's photo hinting at the "prison" house. The guy in the image is Guiseppe Zangara and he was the assassin of Chicago mayor Anton Cermak, though United States President–electFranklin D. Roosevelt may have been his intended target.[1] Roosevelt escaped injury, but five people were shot including Cermak. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to everyone saying "Old Sparky," are you referring to the electric chair from Hellgate Prison (2004), because that was Old Smokey...or is this some other electric chair or reference I don't know about.
