In the second clue, I made an even more obvious change to try and bring focus to the fact that I changed something. So, Detective. A Detective is important to Zero. And yes, shocked is a termed that, in this instance, means subverting what is expected with immense emotion. Surprise. Are those two connected? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRobcat Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 (edited) Zero and Surprise are both codenames. I think the last bit is telling us that if not Chucky, Surprise is something we aren't expecting. Or something like that. I think his earlier AHS connection to that name was mostly a joke.

I don’t think it’s Chucky, or, has that one been seriously hinted at? What I’m curious about is whether Zero & Surprise are codenames for originals.

Last week though I replied to @Legacy about Chucky and it wasn’t addressed so I figured I must’ve been wrong about it. However it was in regards to @mystiquephreeq‘s post, and I did only mention specifically Child’s Play. If I’m reading things right (which I’m probably not) this sounds like it might be some Bride of Chucky/Seed of Chucky/Third Cousin of Chucky/Chucky’s Grandson’s Hamster stuff? Or is the dad stuff just in regards to Zero? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got that far and are now at the point that we know a detective is related to zero in some way. The R&M gifs pointed us to "Detective". There is a well known HHN Detective that I mentioned previously, but I am still not sure if that is the guy this points to. And again, I don't actually think Chucky is coming, but something as not-talked about as Chucky that will take us off guard. Unless ol' Lion McDonald was actually confirming it. He's tricksy though. heh heh Maybe the surprise is Titans of Terror. I might be the only one who would be super happy with that.

Hmmm well I have no idea whether Zero is strictly for an original or IP but if we’re talking IP’s, and one’s that haven’t been brought up (yet...at least to my knowledge, apologies if someone has mentioned it already) there is Sinister. There’s a cop in that one that helps play detective for Ethan Hawke’s character (in both movies) I know it was used last year, but so was AHS and that seems to be all but officially confirmed at this point. It’s not something I personally want to see happen, but I don’t think it’d surprise me if it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxmoser Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Sinister would not happen as a IP. It will be original. I mean they got a shit ton they can do. I honestly would like to see an icon like house similar to Horror Night Nightmares or something of that nature. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunnylvr Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Not sure if it's been mentioned or not - but in addition to a new Halloween movie this year WITH the great Jamie Lee, it's also the 40th anniversary of Halloween. I would shocked, SHOCKED if Halloween isn't a given this year. Also, it's the 10th anniversary of Legendary Truth.. all this talk of a detective makes me think of Boris as well... and then I start my wishing and hoping for an LT connection this year. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good, sounds like detective zeroes in on suspect(s) and a hunt/be hunted house?? Original houses are very difficult to guess, it could be absolutely anything. But if it’s Legendary Truth I only started attending during 26 so I’ll definitely have to read up on it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think two weeks out would be an ok time to even think about announcing again. I know it is different genres but Avengers is such a mammoth that anything entertainment released same time frame is doomed to be crushed by the titan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombieman Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I'm a bit confused, as there are so many codenames/clues flying about. Is Ifrit's riddle connected to the detective from the past dozen posts? Regarding Ifrit's clue: Welcome now to the hallowed past Been awhile since we saw this last Just one of many in that year Both times seen, it was linked to fear Line 1: Referring not only to anything from the past, but a specific house (Hallowed Past from 2010). Line 2: 20 years and 8 years for my guess, to be specific, but still a long time in the past. Line 3: Just one of many (houses) in that year (2010) Line 4: "Linked to fear" possible meanings: 1998: S.S. Frightanic Fear in First Class 2000: Fearhouse 2002: Islands of Fear 2002: Fear Factor 2003: Funhouse of Fear 2008: Reflections of Fear 2010: Fear as an icon 2015: RUN: Blood Sweat and Fears I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess (HOPE) this is referring to an original that everyone has been screaming for: An S.S. Frightanic House!!! As for the "Both times seen, it was linked to Fear", we have: S.S. Frightanic: FEAR in First Class house in 1998 S.S. Frightanic room from 2010, which had FEAR as the icon In 1998, there were technically two Frightanic houses but they were part of a dual-run house, so one could arguably still refer to Frightanic as being "Both" times seen - once (technically twice?) in 1998 and once in 2010. I feel super confident on this one. That clue was written for this. And because it would be so cool to see them do this with a big budget. If I'm right this would be my #1 thing to look forward to for 2018. Technically Treaks & Foons could be equally as correct given this clue, as "Fear" could apply to it as well. However, I've never seen Ifrit give a scarezone clue this early, and I cannot imagine ANY excitement by anyone for a Treaks & Foons house. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about whether or not the rest of the clues tie in in any way but first thing that comes to mind when I hear detective is unsolved murders Ripper, Dahlia, etc... memory eludes me on what I've read about past events so if detective is tied to something we've already seen in some way I'm not sure if this would rule that kinda house out but either one would be a cool theme to try! Victorian era white chapel with the Ripper could be an awesome original if done right! Of coarse that's probably more wishful thinking since that's a dream original for me to see them do plus I'm pretty sure I'm mixing the clues Edited April 23, 2018 by ToxicodendronHEDERA92 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started going in 2004 so I missed Ship of Screams in 2003 and obviously Frightanic. Even though Dark Waters was probably better than any past nautical based house, I would have still loved to have gone through these. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
