Ah. I just recall seeing some of the animals remaining overnight in 2010.

I think some do, I mean who wants a skunk?
Did see two handlers walking dogs through Springfield during HHN last year. It was hilarious.
Generic stuff is done with HHN marketing until things are ready.

This is what I've been saying. They have our money, with very few exceptions. There is literally no reason to pander to us from Universals POV - we're going anyway

The nostalgic part of me badly wants, say, another Screamhouse. But we've already had three.
Should there be a couple houses that celebrate the past (Terra Cruentes)? Absolutely. But it's time for fresh, new ideas. I feel like 18 was the perfect balance of this--a couple of returning classics, but six brand-new houses.

Welcome back. Most of this is still just "best guess" at this point - this is NOT a wish-list, but a general theory given some things I've heard, some things Legacy has posted, other sites, common sense, etc. Please don't take this as anything concrete - again, this is just a list that, if I had to say RIGHT NOW makes sense given the very limited info at our disposal, this would be it...
I think there will be 11 houses. More original than IP. I'm guessing 4 IP, 7 originals. AoV is back. Marathon of Mayhem is back in some form because it was such a success.
My "best guess" with respect to houses at this point (probably mostly wrong):
1 - IP - Conjuring Universe/The Nun - headliner IP
2 - IP - Jordan Peele's Candyman (this one is the most likely of everything to appear)
3 - IP - Creepshow
4 - IP - Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers
5 - Original/IP (half & half) - Some form of Universal Monsters - like a "versus" house (e.g. Frankenstein vs Wolfman)
6 - Original - "mash up" house of former HHN Icons/original houses from past anniversary events
7 - Original - sequel to Scarecrow The Reaping - or something based on it
8 - Original - sequel to Slaughter Sinema
9 - Original - ???
10 - Original - ???
11 - Original - ???
My "best guess" with respect to Scare Zones (also probably mostly wrong):
1 - Alien Abduction or Alien Invasion - something involving Aliens like a sequel to HHN 27's "Invasion!"
2 - The Final Purge
3 - ???
4 - ???
5 - ???
EDIT: Also - and this is a TOTAL GUESS. Haven't heard anything, but this is my own speculation - I would not be surprised to see something involving Rob Zombie return to HHN 30 given the extreme success of Ho1C and Hellbilly Deluxe. What that would be I have no idea. Could be an original Rob Zombie house. Could be a Devil's Rejects or/and 3 From Hell house, or it could be a Scarezone of some sorts. Just food for thought.

If they import Creepshow from Hollywood, cut the IP number down by one (licensing $$$) and cut the number of scarezones down (I say take out Plaza, for example) that might spread the budget for 11 houses without having to repeat one from Orlando's past.
I would not count on Purge.
Zombie is interesting. I'd wager an original house would be more likely over one based on the films; but IMO, I think it's a "one and done".

....
The budget is determined by how many houses are approved, not the other way around.
Yeah I'm certainly not counting on any of these LOL - just my best guess at this point. I know it's been implied (or maybe stated) that Purge isn't coming back, but with the new film being released in July and the success of it as a Scare Zone (I never liked it as a house, but I think it works well as a SZ), I thought it was a possibility.
I haven't heard a thing about Zombie coming back. I just know that both the house and SZ were successes last year, so it makes some sense. I agree that an original would probably be the call a la Welcome To My Nightmare if Zombie were to make another appearance this year.

I wouldn't doubt seeing The Purge make its final appearance as a zone, I mean the previous ones were good and have had moments of hits and misses, but better than the houses I'd say also I wouldn't mind combining both the movie and show in one to balance it and promote both properties.
As for Rob Zombie, I'd love to see them make him a house call it The Thrilling Chilling World Of Rob Zombie like his maze in Hollywood was called in 99 sounds like a perfect title for a house and to have feature some of the scareactors from the zone and others and hopefully take us into the music videos up close and personal with Dragula, Living Dead Girl, and so forth, they could definitely surround the house with some of big albums like Hellbilly Deluxe & Hellbilly Deluxe 2 would be really awesome they tackle both albums sorta what Alice Cooper's Welcome to My Nightmare house was trying to do although Hollywood's kinda nailed it a bit better.

“The event doesn’t need icons!”
“Leave the icons in the past!”
“The event doesn’t suffer due to lack of icons!”
“Oh, and BRING BACK THE PURGE!”
Haha, okay.

Incredibly popular. Zone of the year for me, and it wasn't close.

They were probably gun shy about another one after the horrible Alice Cooper house way back when. The Rob Zombie scare zone was one of my favorites ever, and while I don't care for his movies, the House of 1,000 Corpses was one of my favorites last year.
I hope for more Zones like this as I think that is where it works best as you just have have the music blasting all night long and not playing over other songs by the artist in the houses were you hear snippits of 7 songs for 25 seconds each. The party aspect of the zone worked so well that I hope it's a new tradition to have one artist every year.
I'd love for a Marilyn Manson one where you have a Manson look alike on stage (just needs to be a skinny dude, the rest is all makeup and a contact lens) performing a concert (aka lipsyncing songs) and have some story like his music opened a portal to hell or something and have beasts roaming about who massacred the audience. The stage performance is a great distraction for scares. Have a "plant" that stands in the crowd who is periodically taken, literally kicking and screaming, by the beasts. And I'm sure the beasts would spare a few scantily clad women and shirtless beefcakes to dance for their entertainment ;-)
