wow Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 (edited) Well at least they announced the Icon(s?) for this year. 27 looks to have a lot of potential and at least they brought something new to the table. Also, according to the Ifrit the scarecrow house(Field of Screams) might be the Icon house; but at the same time Orlando's Twitter said "23, 24, 27" which means no icon. Idek anymore I'm so confused Edited June 30, 2017 by wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight Detective Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Legacy made the statement that it's important to remember that you have to invite vampires in your house. I wonder if that means they'll be vampires in a disguise of some sort? Vampire Party Clowns? Vampire Cops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elhev Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I just don't get how they expect ppl to book flights, rent hotels, buy tickets, and spend all this cash and only give us two house announcements. We're almost 2 months away from opening night. If I weren't only a 3 hours drive away I wouldn't even bother making the arrangements to take time off of work for an event that i know little to nothing about. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's atrocious, period. I have not booked a flight yet. And I know others personally who haven't (or have stopped going). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, today's hype is intriguing, but it doesn't tell me shit about whether or not I'll actually like hanging out there. :/ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus that sounds like a really creepy house now. I think it could go two ways: (1) A seriously creepy house that could be very quiet yet scary like Body Collectors or (2) Possibly a comedic take like the one you threw out Edited June 30, 2017 by wow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mermaidvomit Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 When I asked HHN Twitter about an icon: "Who said anything about an icon?" Sigh ;( 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soul Harvesters (that would be my guess based on the clue)? Voodoo queen (made that one a while back)? Mary (because I can't help myself)? As to the whole icon or no icon thing. Marketing could be playing coy. They may be using "mascots" instead of "icons". With the four images that appear to be stemming from four houses, these "soul collectors" may be thematically linked to each of the originals. Think the Iniquitus mixed with the soul harvesters. While the soul harvesters had a set look, the Iniquitus varied in look based on the legion they tied to. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForeverEvil1 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I honestly think there's no "official" icon. This Soul Collector imagery will likely be what they advertise around and have shirts for and such, but based on the Twitter's replies, they are not counted as icons. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

criticalanalysis Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Welp, no icon, no overarching theme = dud. Let's face it, this is the first time the board is getting to be unanimously fed up with them. That's not a good sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully those locked boxes are at least House hints so this isn't a glorified HHN25 Sweepstakes thing. A actual concise date for something is never bad though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is probably gonna be like the Storyteller where she wasn't the Icon but she was the mascot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know the more I ponder on the Soul Harvesters the more I enjoy the idea. I think that it could fit well into the general aspects of the speculated houses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what no one is mentioning: If the third is the full reveal, I think that's the earliest full reveal ever. The last week in august is traditional. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, the top left in those images from the video has a smiling bloody? face with what appears to be a form of face paint. As was pointed out, there is a dark aspect in that you have to invite vampires into your house, and clowns are usually around in areas where kids are about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
