It wasn’t mannequins.
Well, all the better, since it clearly wouldn't be a rip off, then.

Well, it could have still been a rip-off. It would have just ripped off something different.Well, all the better, since it clearly wouldn't be a rip off, then.
I doubt that the house is in a condition to do that. Besides, I bet they use the house next year.So since this is the wishlist page I think it’s safe to post this here but if not feel free to delete it
since HHN is canceled this year and is their big money maker I’m sure they will want to bring in any revenue possible so what if they opened up the beetlejuice house for day time guests without scare actors. For the most part it would be family friendly and good Halloween fun and at the very least it would make pass holders come through the gates to see it
The house was complete by the time they canceled. The only houses that weren’t done were Eillish and a couple of the soundstage houses. The tents and parades were (are?) guest-ready.I doubt that the house is in a condition to do that. Besides, I bet they use the house next year.
Huh, good to know. There's always the fact that they're not gonna give you anything for free that they can sell at full price on 2021 --The house was complete by the time they canceled. The only houses that weren’t done were Eillish and a couple of the soundstage houses. The tents and parades were (are?) guest-ready.
The challenge with opening any of the houses (safety aside) is a question of finances. Is it worth it, based on daytime crowds at limited capacity, to staff and operate a house? That also has to take into account repair costs after the “run” if they’re planning on reusing the house next year. Throw in the fact that the rights usage of the IPs would be explicitly for HHN and not daytime operation... there’s a lot a math.
Nevermind that, from what I’ve heard about Beetlejuice, the house isn’t “family friendly.” They amped it up, supposedly, including characters from the cartoon in order to actually make it scary rather than a Ghostbusters-esque book report.
Thinking about the mannequin theatre house we'll hopefully get to experience next year, I feel like a house that takes place in an old nuclear testing site being hunted by the remains of the mannequins used there would be cool--they would be all rusted, which would heighten the scary factor.
Kind of in this vein and tied into a popular video game IP, but a Fallout house would be pretty sweet.
Twin Peaks. I want a Twin Peaks house so badly. I want to walk through the Red Room/Black Lodge and be surrounded by evil doppelgängers of Agent Coper and Laura Palmer and be accosted by Bob.
For fun, I started working on a treatment for a TP house, but it quickly evolved into an overlay for Orlando’s ToT. Idk if we have a thread for blue skying attractions, but I’ll post it if so.
i second this motion. you can make an entire house based solely on atticus’s opening dream sequence. this isn’t even taking into account the shoggoths and the other monsters we’ll be seeing this seasonI've been beating this drum for years. Hopefully with a TV series coming to Amazon we might get it!
After watching the first episode of LOVECRAFT COUNTRY, I would love a house based on it.
I think even if we don’t get a official love craft country house it will atleast draw popularity so we could see a lovecraftian themed original possibly in the future! The dream sequence as a house would be truly amazing like a nightingales meets invasioni second this motion. you can make an entire house based solely on atticus’s opening dream sequence. this isn’t even taking into account the shoggoths and the other monsters we’ll be seeing this season
You're gonna be waiting long for a train that isn't coming. They're gonna do what makes money, first, middle and last. Look to the smaller haunts for innovation.Sorry to be vague, but I guess I just want to see them do new ideas over the next decade. One house a year that does something to subvert the formula.

I’d temper that expectation. The vibe I’ve gotten is that it’s something other events have before.This “theatre” house could very well be what I’m looking for. A good example of the last four years was Seeds.
