Halloween Horror Nights 26 Discussion

[SeventyOne]

Krampus definitely isn't happening, got it.

No, was given a list of houses NOT happening--Krampus was NOT on that list. Despite being arguably the most rumored house this year. Could've just slipped the source's mind, but given the source even remembered rumored Ash v Evil Dead house, I think the silence implies it IS coming.

Money talks

Money absolutely does when it comes to TWD. As much of a fan I am of the IP id say it's run it's course after it's first year! If it wasn't for the frequent fear plus I would have never waited the 2 hours in line for the house. The 2 hour wait def speaks to it's standing popularity with the general public. I would have been disappointed I wasted half my night in line.

Good to hear more and more info is becoming available. Any word on scare zones and if they will be zones this year?

There will be zones. I don't know much more than that.

Bored. House list as I know it.

The announced
The announced: Second coming (Tent 2)
The unannounced: The return (Parade)
The unannounced: The expected
The unannounced: The returning
The unannounced: The requeling
The unannounced: Claustrophic jewel
The unknown
Shall not be named

FWIW, heard from a solid source no Lovecraft--no clue what that clue could mean otherwise, tho. Also heard TWD back, so agree that's probably "Expected."

Cautiously optimistic about what might return to Parade.

What we know so far:

9 houses with the new location being the MIB queue.
The Exorcist and Texas Chain Saw Massacre are confirmed for a SS and Tent 2 respectively.
TWD is back.
Tent 1 has an original codenamed Cobweb and it will be a very tight house.
There is a requel of an original, probably Ghost Town based on what Legacy is hinting.
Parade has an IP that isn't TWD.
The Purge is not one of the houses.
Krampus is looking iffy, there's conflicting info from insiders.
No Hitchcock or Lovecraft.

Am I reading this correctly that the house called going into The Parade Building called The Return is an IP AND has been in The Parade Building before? If so, it narrows the list to Silver Screams and House of Horrors (since we have been told TWD will not go there).

Anyone?

 

[Legacy]

The house in Parade has never been in Parade before.

 

[hishedale]

No Ash?!
Where else will I ever get an Inflatable Chainsaw hand + Boomstick combo?!

 

[kingcooger]

The house in Parade has never been in Parade before.

Okay, thank you for clearing that up.

Is the clue The Return implying that this IP has been at HHN before or is it more related to the content of the IP (like Homecoming was with Halloween)?

Also, do we know the house locations of the other clues yet?

To the first question, the IP has been at HHN before. But note that I don't refer to anything as a repeat.

To the second question, not really.

Okay, so if the IP has been present, but it is not a repeat, we could be looking at houses based on sequels (like Halloween 2), reinterpretations of an IP (like the PsychoPath mazes), a loose IP (Tales from the Crypt Presents), or an IP house that was formerly a scarezone. Am I right in making that assumption?

Sounds good to me.

 

[sjago13]

Do you know if one of the houses is a complete copy of a previous house like AWIL?

Like I said, I don't describe anything as a "repeat."

IPs that have been used at the event before (spoiler tagging for length):

Spoiler

People Under the Stairs
Psycho
Crypt Keeper
The Mummy
Classic Monsters
Marvel
Jurassic Park
All Nite Die-in 2 IPs (Scream, Hellraiser, Silence of the Lambs, The Ring)
Friday the 13th
Nightmare on Elm Street
TCM
Dead Silence
The Thing
Doomsday
Saw
Child's Play
Wolfman
Dracula
Frankenstein
Cirque du Freak
Silver Screams IPs (Phantom of the Opera, My Bloody Valentine, Evil Dead, The Thing, Shaun of the Dead, The Strangers)
Alice Cooper
Penn and Teller
Silent Hill
TWD
Cabin in the Woods
AWIL
Resident Evil
Halloween
AVP
From Dusk Till Dawn
FVJ
Insidious
The Purge

That's a total of 41 IPs! What we can eliminate:

TCM and TWD (we know about them)
The Purge and Evil Dead (not happening)
Any of last year's other IPs (AWIL, Insidious, FVJ, and probably NOES and F13th as well)
Psycho (no Hitchcock)
All of the Silver Screams IPs (The IP in Parade has never been there before)
Classic Monsters (They've been in there before)
Scream (Because of last year)
Saw (No repeats)
AVP (Needs a soundstage and probably would count as a repeat)
JP (Needs a soundstage)
Marvel (Contract might restrict it)
IPs that probably wouldn't be used again (People Under the Stairs, Doomsday, FDTD, CITW, Alice Cooper, Cirque du Freak, Dead Silence)

Eliminating those leaves us with Crypt Keeper, Hellraiser, Silence of the Lambs, The Ring, Child's Play, Penn and Teller, Silent Hill, Resident Evil, and Halloween.

 

[Legacy]

That's how you spec, ladies and gentlemen.

My money is on Child's Play.

Does this include characters that showed up in All Night Die-In?

 

[foodstampsFTW]

Ok I'm going with Halloween 2 because a trustworthy person on another forums said it's coming.

 

[Teebin]

I have been glancing at this thread for weeks now and I am so happy that no one has blown this years lineup. It still seems to be a fun topic of speculation which it should be.

It's been really hard, I'll admit. A couple of things I just want to scream from the mountain tops.

 

[foodstampsFTW]

good screams or bad
