Honestly 26 was pretty mediocre for me aside from Academy of Villains, AHS/Tomb/TWD and Chance. The only house that made me want to go through it over and over was Tomb of the Ancients. Most everything else was just ok, nothing too great. Lunatics Playground sucked. The streets were pretty bland this year as well. Hell, I didn't even really like B&T that much this year and i've liked it through some dark periods (of course that could have to do with AoV being of such high quality).
Overall, I really hope they fine tune the event for next year. They had great IPs to work with this year and sort of just half-assed it on a scare level.
- The actors need to be SCARIER
- The streets need to be be more intense
- Continue to bring in compelling IPs along with great original houses
- The show by Mel's has a high bar to meet for me following The Carnage Returns and Academy of Villains
- If your gonna do a 3D house, do it right. More like Alice, less like Lunatics.
- IP I personally want to see:
The Last of Us will be my choice here until the day I die if it never happens

- Hoping for another Icon. I'd love to see A&D actually create a new one.
