Were they ever?

If by cryptic you mean nonsense.

I always wanted to go to the house of shock... The Mortuary is trash

The House of Shock (RIP) starts with a show and then funnels you into the house.

House of Shock was purchased by 13th floor entertainment and should reopen if not this season, (I'd be shocked), next, as per my sauces.

YES, THANK YOU FOR TELLING ME

Take this with a grain of salt

Again... Murdy isn't actually saying anything. We already know there's a possibility for a HP show because they've done it in Japan and it was planned for Orlando.

To say this, I do think it does speak volumes that he is finally at-least addressing the elephant in the room, that the others have used Potter for the event.

That doesn't mean anything is happening, but it's still exciting nonetheless.

Slightly OT but I just watched The Lost Boys and, if it comes, it’s gonna be a solid house. They could use a ton of effects in the house(hopefully the catwalk over the Boardwalk to simulate flying over it); and a finale in the caves is a must. Definitely reminded me of HIVE with a mix of Vamp’ 55 like Legacy said

why wouldn't the finale take place in the place the actual film ends??

I’m reading about construction of platforms and such for new water shows at Universal. Curious if and how they may use this for HHN.

One of the buddy’s I go to HHN with told me that they use to show horror movies on “water spray” screens on the water. Before my time, maybe HHN23 or a bit earlier. Anyone else recall that?

Hive was such an underrated house IMO. The cast was really on point which is perhaps why I enjoyed it so much. I’m cautiously optimistic this rumour is true.

Hive looked amazing, and definitely seemed like a good maze. I think it could’ve been better had it not been a retrofit of Conjuring(which surprisingly it felt at home in those environments, but some scenes were really obviously Conjuring), and also if it had a facade.

Loved Hive!

Yes, for me I enjoyed it, but it seemed a bit repetitive at some points...I mean, I'm putting it against the rest of the houses with very memorable scenes though

I agree that the Conjuring sets were hard to ignore. However, there was so much negativity with losing Conjuring that I had really low expectations for the house. I was therefore surprised and very happy with the end result.

It’s been pointed out here before but the event and houses are really a dynamic work in progress. I think Univesal did a fantastic job saving the house. Even with the obvious environments I think the scareactors did a great job and really imersed themselves in their job. By the end of October this was one of my favourite houses.

So, to your point ... another vampire house, this time based on a solid IP and with time to properly plan. Yes please!

I think the most obviously Conjuring scenes were the crib room(Annabelle), the room with the hanging bodies(Conjuring 2 Living Room), and the Basement with the mirror(Amityville). Besides that they did a MUCH better job saving that house than they did with Scream/Purge, although they had more time for Hive than the latter. Anyways, if The Lost Boys comes I’m wondering if they’ll incorporate any of the fighting scenes into the maze as show scenes

Hive would have been far better if the facade had been newspaper headline clippings setting up the story. A small detail, sure, but to me it would have given the house more of an identity.

I'm really starting to enjoy this year.

The speculation or the lineup?

I know you wouldn't be able to share it, but have you heard things?

Thinking about the speculation, I'll never forget how much fun the speculation for HHN 18 was.

Yes.
