I will gladly eat crow if that means stirring up the pot on this thread so y'all actually speculate instead of going dead quiet. Look, 3 new pages and some new theories on the Mexican original's theme.
Yes, I am your savior. /s
Keep in mind, even if properties are right, the locations have often been wrong.
Even things along the lines of, "This year I hear they have less black walls" only to find there's more black walls than ever.
And every year y'all think HHN is gonna redeem itself with some cool new properties, what do they do?
Give you an Unfriended/Truth or Dare/First Purge maze on the side.
I'm still wondering, where is that side this year? I know it's in there somewhere.
It's not a "we want a better event" thing. They need this for the sake of business and money.
This event isn't to please the hardcore fans, it's to get the general public.
It's to get YOUR money.
Risking failure for even one year could be catastrophic for business.
They just MIGHT shell out the cash to convince WB to give us IT.
Keep in mind I don't WANT Insidious or even Us, but that's some GP crap they want. What business probably wants Murdy to do. What Murdy has to have at least one of to justify Klowns and two original mazes. ST ain't enough, it's just one mazeeeee.
Or maybe it truly brought in a whole new fanbase so they're not worried. I don't know.
But history just tells me different.
As Luke Skywalker says, "This is not going to go the way you THINK!"
Keep on speculating, that's all I'm saying. Even IF this is a completely locked lineup from head to toe, there's still a whole lot to find out.
