I'm a little disappointed they don't release walkthrough videos of houses after the season ends. I forgot to ask my our guide if there were any posted layouts of the mazes like for fire escape plans and such. Especially the tents. I mean it's not like were ever going to see them again, even if the layouts to two are similar.
Anyways HHN 27
for originals...
Hoping for a Nightingales or Catacombs sequel/prequel whatever.
Maybe a return of Scary Tales or a Scary Tales spin off similar to Asylum in Wonderland
Maybe a return to Asylum in Wonderland that is a bit more filled out and has more actors and more scares.
Something space themed. I feel like it's been missing (minus AVP).
As for returning house, if Werewolf and Halloween are an indicator, the properties that could return are FVJ, Insidious, and maybe Purge? I don't really know what was at 25 that could return. Halloween seemed so drastically different from its original (unlike werewolf) that I guess they have the budget for 9 completely new houses. And Insidious 4 would just seem like a new house and not a return, unless they try to include them all together maybe in a super house?
I'd welcome FVJ again. Or either as stand alone, but with a preference on Freddy.
New IPs
Obviously Conjuring is top of my list. If they could do an Anabelle/Conjuring/Conjuring2 mashup I'd be forever grateful. Some great characters to use for mini scenes and distractions. And some really great demons. I would love to see that nun painting coming to life somehow (I have my own ideas
lol)
Poltergeist, although admittedly I don't know exactly how to go about it, but AHS isn't exactly terrifying and they still made a compelling house.
V/H/S so great and could offer a great variety of terrors and themes. Just pick the best 6-8 short stories!
Maybe the VVItch.. although it is definitely not a typical horror, and may not lend itself to a house. Maybe if they do an original house based on classic pagan myth they could try to capture this tone.
I know that's not a complete list, these are just hopeful thinking ideas.
Also, I'd like them to change up the way they scare too. It seems like most of the actor hiding places are very obvious. A slightly smaller doorway with fabric hanging down is a bit obvious or a big hole in a wall. I mean don't get me wrong they get me sometimes but it gets predictable. And they were so proud of the piano scare in ghost town (which is definitely cool) but I feel like that should be more prevalent... like objects and walls opening up when they look static or solid. It's a minor complaint, as even when I know where people are the environment mixed with sound and lighting cues can still startle me better than any of my local haunts.
And that's my poorly structured rant. It's 3:15 here so I apologize for any bad formatting and or lack of interesting information.
