All of the 2020 houses were able to be pushed. Eilish was never on the table for 2021 because of her marketing team’s efforts to change her image. She was never planned for 2021 and a new house was 100% going into that space this year, even without a pandemic.
The argument is “Eilish was suppose to be there, so the event needs a huge IP to replace her.” I’m pointing out that isn’t true for 2021 and anything could have been planned to go there expect an Eilish house.
If we're really digging into semantics, she and the rest of the line up were planned for HHN30. It needed to be delayed a year, but the planned HHN30 remains intact aside from her. Therefore, Eilish is being replaced for HHN30, regardless of when it actually happens.
You're right in that Season of the Witch wouldn't be a replacement had HHN30 happened last year. But that would just mean they would need headliners for HHN31, as well as find a way to promote the last of the Halloween reboot trilogy which was supposed to drop October 2021. Marketing is still going to want that marketing synergy, and still can't use the reboots for houses, so Season of the Witch with Michael could still be a likely possibility. Even more so if Hollywood had done it's H3 house in 2020 like planned and it was a hit.
