I LOVE Ho1C but I would kill it off in a heartbeat for Suspiria. So many good haunt moments and it’s a perfect cult classic for a future HHN

Freaks was also speculated for some reason. I wouldn't mind if any IP except corpses and UM being replaced by suspiria.

I feel like we would probably get a Hellraiser house somewhere the down the line, I mean Clive Barker has worked with Universal before in Hollywood and he doesn't seem to have any problems, heck, I mean he could even make an original for us over here since he's done some for Hollywood, it'd be awesome to see a Clive Barker original house happen. I always wondered if we'd get something like his game Jericho.
Suspiria is so colorful and amazing, that movie should definitely be given its due as house and would love to see Pumpkinhead, I mean these three are just perfect opportunities to bring HHN, I wonder what is making em wait on making em happen, the commercial featuring these ips would be sick too, a lot of imagery they could work with.

From what I vaguely recall, didn’t Mike and the team visit Highgate Cemetery in London a year or two ago? There’s a lot of history with the cemetery, as well as connections to the occult and the “Highgate vampire”.
Assuming this is the inspiration for the graveyard house, code name salt would fit well with the occult connections of Highgate. As others have mentioned on here a circle of salt is typically used for protection when dealing with demons and spirits. Also, when first speculated there seemed to be a lot of references to kids involved in the story (either as ghost kids or playing hide and seek in the graveyard). So are we looking at some kind of demon summoning gone wrong performed by kids messing about in a graveyard?
I’m not feeling the vampire connection for this - we’ve had a lot of vampires of late and given the main “man” Dracula will be next door in UCM.
The one thing I’m struggling with was the very early comments on this house. Obviously things may have (and do) change, but a few people who heard the concept seemed a little confused about it, and said it was a bit “esoteric”. Is this still the case? If so I’m intrigued to see how that plays out.

I am honestly pretty glad Hollywood isn't getting Metallica. I'm a Tallica fan and would have likely gone there for that house alone.

I doubt it’s this year but a house based on the salt mines below the Great Lakes would be INTENSE.
Pumpkinhead is probably my favorite part of Spec this year. What a crazy choice that we all kinda took as fact for awhile until Blood Pit threw that cold water at our faces. 
Is it possible to find out anymore of what Tooth Fairy was going to be? I remember hearing that Tooth Fairy was just a small part in a larger house theme and that the actual Fairy was going to be a huge grotesque monster or something like that.

I remember when The Twilight Zone was speculated during early speculation. Honestly wouldn't mind seeing it. Alien was also speculated too and is also my dream ip, but I don't think its ever gonna happen due to a certain mouse that owns it.

I think you're mixing up Great Lakes with Salt Lake City...

I was thinking more Cleveland area than upstate New York.

I don't know if there's a house I would be more excited for than Suspiria tbh.

I think people have been prepared for more off-the-wall IPs. While it's a much more known property, remember how out-of-nowhere Poltergeist felt when it started being rumored last year?
I was just surprised it took them this long to get to Poltergeist.. and also remember thinking to myself "In all the years of HHN fans requesting IPs to Murdy and Aiello on Twitter.. how did very few of them remember to request Poltergeist?!".. because it wasn't much of a common fan request/suggestion, even from the early years of HHN Hollywood's Twitter..

To be fair, we had Yeti last week at the very least. They haven't had anything since the Uni Monsters duel announce.
