The Old HHN 30 Speculation Thread (2020)

[Legacy]

When I say “date,” I mean down to the day. Clue 1 is the only one that is generalized to a year.

 

[TDBLMT]

How about that Scarecrow.

Good but overrated.

Legacy, are all of your clues specific to an "IP" of sorts? Or are some for originals as well?

Great house...
...I liked this year's sprung houses better though. <ducks>

If we get a sequel, could they fit the vane in a soundstage? It would be so cool to see it throughout the whole house.

Isn’t everything original at some point?

Is Dr. Who scary? I've never watched it... I thought it was like Quantum Leap.

Not at all

I’m back!
I don’t really participate in random speculation, but there has been some patterns I’ve been noticing through the years, that being a hint within the event of at least one future IP; Could be mere coincidence.

In 2016 we had Sam’s lollipop littered in Krampus (both directed by Dougherty, but still) we had the scare zone next year, while in Dead Man’s Wharf had the Shining theme playing every so often, we had the Shining next year...

Nothing comes to mind for 2017...

In 2018 Slaughter Sinema featured a song from House of a Corpses at the Queque...

And now Stranger Things has a Candyman VHS for no reason, it all fits!!

Doctor Who is scary, *British accent* proper scary.

Thing is the show is more about scaring little kids (and some adults) to hide behind the couch. It's family friendly sci-fi with a tint towards horror depending on the era. Of course the big problem is the production values of the older serials that focused more on horror (see: later Tom Baker) are bad. As Legacy was hinting at the Weeping Angles an inspiration for the Sorrow Angles from Winter's Night.

As a fan of Doctor Who, on a bigger front, the show doesn't FIT into HHN. The show is more about mystery and a puzzle box than anything scary.

Well, the most recent clue involves the rapper NF who was born on March 30, 1991. Horror IP releases that happened on a March 30 includes the movie Beetlejuice. Even if that's not the answer, is that more the "thought process" you're talking about?

I could have sworn someone said they thought Dr. Who was put out there as a fake name to try and plug leaks. Does anyone else remember seeing this or is all of this speculation jumbling my mind?

This is the right idea.

I said that.

 

[dxwwf3]

I said that.

I thought so. I was scratching my head with the continued discussion about it if you already debunked that rumor.

 

[JJ591]

This is the right idea.

Great - thank you

 

[JawsVictim]

This is the right idea.

Then why bother with properties like UCM? They’re building a while land based on something from ages ago. It isn’t the age gap; it’s what is considered appropriate content for an event called Halloween Horror Nights.

I guess next year we can see Bjork, Grimes, and/or The Knife/Fever Ray since they’re all weirdo pop artists with a tinge of creepiness to their visuals!

you say this like it’s a bad thing. personally i would LOVE to go through a psychosexual orgy house based on plunge!

seriously, i’ve seen less vitriol here than in other places, but it bears repeating. eilish is a great artist who has made a lot of really interesting visuals in her career so far. IF this rumor is true, then i’d love to see this lagoon show. hhn will have other places for diehards to go. let the kids have their fun.

“Right idea” doesn’t mean, “right date.”

And I’m still expecting no more than 4 IPs.

A question and a follow up

1) Do you consider them using Billie Eilish in the lagoon show to be an IP?

2) If so, does that count as one of our 4 IPs?

I would too! I chose those artists because they laid the groundwork for Eilish, and their visuals are creepy but lyrics are not - well, most the time at least. Wouldn’t be bad at all!

HHN has never been exclusive to adults. I’m not one of those fans. I have friends and former co workers that started attending in their tweens. I got into HHN from afar at the age of 12. Yet I also don’t think I’m crazy for believing an Eilish lagoon show is out of place for this year. If this were last year or next year, I probably wouldn’t care. It just ruins the illusion of HHN 30 being a celebration of the event and the horror genre.

While I’m at it, I’m also not sexist or prejudice for not being into the idea like some have insinuated. 2019 was a great year for women in music. My top 3 albums were Weyes Blood, Sharon Van Etten, and FKA Twigs - Eilish’s was fine, but didn’t even crack my top 50.
