What about a roadkill house

 

[ChaseTuff]

Is Jerky original? Sorry catching up

If it is...there is that movie Motel Hell where the smoked meats are human flesh

A sequel to Motel Hell (HHN universe) would be interesting

Jerky is indeed an original, but apparently not a sequel or a new original, based on Legacy's responses?

Can we define what @Legacy considers a "sequel"? I'm assuming something like Recollections was a sequel, but what about Ghost Town, or Dead Waters?

 

[Legacy]

The character is Scruffy.

The show is Futurama.

The hint is "Voice."


This is an original. Something we've seen before, but not a sequel. I guess a "spin-off" isn't a terrible way to describe it (if they connect it to recent years. If they go a different route, the it would be the next story in an anthology).

This clue is a bit harder. There's a couple of layers to get through.

Is there only 1 house previously we are looking to connect this to or multiple?

1 house.

Code name Jerky.

Soundstage, but that's not where we would have seen this creature before.

Well David Herman voices Scruffy, and also several characters in Bob’s Burgers.

Maybe a cannibal inspired dinner - where the first room or two look normal until you go in the back and see the process to make the meat / jerky?

Hmmm....the Wendigo maybe?

Jerky kinda ties into the Roanoke stuff, and that was in the Parade Warehouse.

I don't know how "Voice" and the Futurama clue tie in though so that's probably a no.

Awww hell yeah Leave it to Cleaver 2!

I'm not jumping shows, but you got the actor.


And the house isn't food related.

Unfortunately I'm pretty sure Legacy had a quote earlier saying he thought it was Leave It 2 Cleaver but that he shoved that to the side.

 

[RyanH]

Should I be looking for something about the voice of scruffy or the actor himself

The actor, and other characters he voices on Futurama.

He’s voiced like 200 characters

So, I dug through David Herman's roles on Futurama, and the two that stood out to me were Bigfoot and Slurms MacKenzie, which brings me to two new ideas:

1. Swamp Yeti - Bigfoot is obvious connection, Jerky could refer to the Jack Link commercials, and it could either be a spin-off of Slaughter Sinema, or a new entry in the Urban Legends series. It was discussed a few pages back, but I don't know if that talk scuttled just Slaughter Sinema 2 or Bigfoot in general.
2. Saws n' Steam - Slurms MacKenzie represents a factory hiding a dark secret, Jerky is what you get when you suck all the water out of the meat. Maybe not a true sequel to Saws 'n Steam since it wouldn't focus on water, but it could be a soylent green-type house where the leftovers husks are processed into food. My question would be how the anthology vs. spin-off distinction works.

EDIT: Also, none of these were soundstage houses.

Speculation, everyone.

 

[JawsVictim]

Nice! I like the idea of a Sasquatch house.

 

[ChaseTuff]

It does feel like the type of jokey HHN codename we get sometimes. I'm imaging large forest and campsite sets.

 

[kingmantis]

Swamp Yeti was definitely the scariest moment of the entire event for me last year so that's awesome to hear. I wouldn't mind shifting it into a Bigfoot house though, I bet the Pacific Northwest scenery would be beautiful.

Also, we now have another house codename/location/theme for the speculation pile. I think this is the current list so far, but I could be wrong:

• Hysteria - Soundstage - Speculated to be Stranger Things
• Jerky - Soundstage - Speculated to be Sasquatch
• Onyx - Soundstage - Implied to be the best fit for an Alien house (if it happens)
• Pressure - Parade - Implied to be usable for an Alien house (if it happens)
• Cotton - Shrek - Would need to move if Shrek closes, may be Killer Klowns (if it happens)
• Pit - Tent - Implied to be too small for Hill House (if it happens)

So we're still looking for the locations of Chicken, Drill, Dog, and Salt, and all but two of the houses' themes are still in question.

Maybe a spin off of the Urban Legends franchise?
