I feel like haunting of hill house will be the AHS level house and Sabrina will be more of a Ash vs evil dead type. Do one house and not see it reappear again.
I see both existing somewhere between TWD/ASH/ST and Ash/FDTD in terms of popularity at the event. They're solid anchors each bringing in good demos that the latter group couldn't bring in but aren't four-quadrant like the former group.I feel like haunting of hill house will be the AHS level house and Sabrina will be more of a Ash vs evil dead type.

That’s exactly why I feel it makes sense for both houses to appear this yearI see both existing somewhere between TWD/ASH/ST and Ash/FDTD in terms of popularity at the event.

Are you serious? At least half th horror merch I've bought in the last twenty years has been from HTThe musical that’s unlikely to reopen before it closes for The Music Man?
And Hot Topic isn’t exactly the paragon of “horror.” I‘m sure hanging right next to Beetlejuice is Jack Skellington.
Your definition of a "strong" IP?
Not “fans.” People. Specifically, horror casuals who don’t plan their entire year around HHN. A strong IP is one that entices a person with no interest in HHN to attend. TWD, AHS, Stranger Things, Ghostbusters, and the Big Three (Freddy, Jason, and Leatherface) did that. Conjuring, IT (Stephen King in general, actually) would do that. Billie Eilish, in any capacity, could do that.I believe he’s going off of fans it will pull in. I’m presuming (just going off of the hot spec right now) Hill House and Billie Eilish?
How much Invader Zim stuff did you have to dig through to find it? Hot Topic doesn’t sell horror. They sell irony. You get your horror stuff from there because they’re the only ones selling it.Are you serious? At least half th horror merch I've bought in the last twenty years has been from HT

Beetlejuice and Gremlins will attract some niche fans, but it’s a niche that’s already inclined towards attending (assuming they hear about it). Your big IPs aren’t niche.
I’m hearing whole other houses that could replace stuff on that map.
If a couple of the details I’m hearing are true, your whole list will change.

Thats what I was thinkingYou hint a lot as well all know. Is this possibly a hint that you're hearing the possibility of a big IP that, if it was procured by Uni, could flip the whole event on the scale of one of those "headliner" IP types?

I classify IPs by five tiers. Classifying them is more art than science, and it ignores purely "non-horror" IPs. I could add a sixth tier of "not happening," but it's not really needed.How would you classify HoHH and CAoS?
I'd put it in either Tier 2 or 3.You hint a lot as well all know. Is this possibly a hint that you're hearing the possibility of a big IP that, if it was procured by Uni, could flip the whole event on the scale of one of those "headliner" IP types?
I’m curious to know how you guys think crowds will be with the virus or the lack of a property like stranger things? I know billie would bring tons of crowds, but I don’t see anything else bringing in as much of a crowd as stranger things or Billie...
Same. It would actually be very exciting and interesting.Plot twist: 2020 has just been another one of her stories.
Seriously, I’d be really happy with any of the non-clown icons.
Is it possible Sabrina and gremlins are potentially not coming because of WB?Not sure if this is true or not.. but one has heard some rumors that 3 of those houses on that speculation map are not happening at this years event.
1. Sabrina was never a part of this years event. A no-go.
2. Billie might actually still be a part of the lagoon show and not a house in Orlando.
3. Gremlins was originally planned for this years event but is now out of the equation.
Also.. There might actually be an icon/marketing tool for the event this year after all.. And if true this icon, she definitely deserves another shot and would make a lot of sense with the rumoured originals.
Thats all that I’m hearing currently.
But again NOT SURE if its true or not. So this could all be false or accurate. Although I heavily believe Sabrina is NOT happening.
