Though if that wasn't one the nose enough, one of the Inventors themselves confirmed this was designed for HHN.
EDIT- Welp, proven to be a joke on it being designed for HHN.

First I just wanna say it's good to see everybody here again!
As for Speculation, I think basically we know everything coming with the exception of Billie unless a few curveballs are thrown.
The only house we know for sure is confirmed is Puppet Theather.
Beetlejuice was forced to open I think it's safe to say it will be returning as well.
Since Puppet Theater is confirmed I think it is safe to say Wicked Growth, (S)carey Ohio, Icons, will return.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre actually seems to make more sense this year then it did last year having synergy with the new film this year!
As for Brides and Tooth Fairy, Personally, I don't see them scrapping 2 houses never used at the event.
Hill House I'm 50/50 on. Since the synergy is gone I really dont see a reason for it to come to the event. Its a great show but I'm sure a equally great original could take place in the hill house. Seems like they could save money on probably a expensive IP as well.
Billie is for sure the only thing not returning. This is kind of the tricky one since this was our main headlining IP for the year. It seems to me they would probably want to have another big IP but the question is what could they use? If they do not replace with a big IP i think it will either become creepshow and replace the zone or probably some kind of original house.
did this thread’s opening warm the hearts of anyone’s else? I went back to the old thread for my last post, ugh. So happy to be here.
That was a joke...
I had a feeling. These permits are often drawn with the planned use, and it sure looked like Volcano Bay

In no particular order: tooth and brides replacements, Billie replacement, TCM still?, scarezones, shows, food, beverage, operating dates, and tickets.
I think this year will be much quieter but it’ll be a nice break from the exponentially crazier threads year after year.
I hope Legacy is right and everything but Eilish comes back. Personally, I don't care about Hill House, but know a lot of people were excited for it so hope it returns.
I would LOVE to see this replace Eilish. I guess its a complete rip off of 5 Nights at Freddy's but I've never watched/read/played that. It would be simple enough to rip it off and do an all original one, but just from this 2 minute trailer I think having it as an IP would be amazing. Knowing NOTHING about this movie before seeing the preview, it just looks like an awesome and fun movie and you can't help but instantly think of it as a haouse at HHN. It wouldn't be anything to draw people in on name recognition, but as a direct to VOD movie it would probably be pretty cheap to buy the the rights and they'd probably love the attention to maybe drive some Blu-Ray sales.
You'd have Nic Cage screaming audio cues (worth the price of licensing alone), the facade is already outlined in the trailer, if you made the shirts available to purchase I certainly would buy one, and the song would just be stuck in your head after doing the house. It just has everything you could need for a house. Even if the movie is terrible, it would still make for a great house in my opinion.
That was just total baseless wishful thinking and not very helpful for speculating, so I'll add this:
I'm wondering if anybody has heard anything of substance about the event starting earlier or possibly being up to 7 days a week to try to recoup some lost money? I've seen random musings about that, but just wondering if it's something they'd try...especially if an alternative is to jack up ticket prices substantially. While they don't have to build all the houses this year, storing and preserving them has to have had extensive costs and headaches associated with it.
I was wondering about the show as well. If we even get a show my guess is it will be something like Jacks carnival of carnage but I love the idea of using all the icons instead of just Jack!Moreso than anything, I'm actually interested about the subject of shows.
Not to get into the subject too much, but now with Academy of Villians completely gone; that leaves a massive hole in the FFL theater. It makes me intensely curious to see what exactly they have in mind for that venue, as I can't see it being unused this year for a show, to get people off the streets.
Honestly, I'm kind of wondering if they'll try to do a more grander Icon show for FFL. Especially if Jack's properly back, as per how rumors were of the crew filming safety videos with Jack.
The Carnival of Carnage is a show that seemingly works really well with Horror Nights's tone and style.I was wondering about the show as well. If we even get a show my guess is it will be something like Jacks carnival of carnage but I love the idea of using all the icons instead of just Jack!
