I'm honestly not sure why people thought it would be related. They've had a house in F&F for the last 2 years without closing the attraction lol

While interesting, Lance has updated his previous rumors and said today, as you brought up, "the shutdown of F&F may be entirely unrelated to Halloween Horror Nights at this time," and we are at 10 haunted houses. Don't expect any of this stuff, like a F&F overlay and more than 10 houses, this year.

"If you hated [scarezone] wait till you see [house]."
Keep in mind when I tell this person I liked Hellblock they roll their eyes at me.
Creating the video and syncing to motion is so incredibly expensive this is never going to happen. This isn't as easy as this person is speculating it is.

Confirmed: Disney & Universal collab for a "Dark Side" house! Let's gooooooooo!!!
"Celebrating 70 Years of the Iconic Creature from the Black Lagoon" - Fangoria , this week
I know anniversaries guarantee nothing, but if not this year don't think he'll ever get a house.
Also I think good timing to let the A-List UCMs rest up for a year before Epic

Yeah, the vast majority of people seem to never tire of him but at this point I find him neither scary nor funny. Chance is even worse imo.
Well the main group of Monsters is
Phantom (occasionally), Dracula, Mummy, Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, Wolfman & Creature. That is your technical "A-list"
If you set them aside, well.... off the top of my head, Mole-man & Mutant. Hunchback is iconic, but just sort've exists lol
Otherwise the rest go into sequel TERRORtory. Dracula's daughter, she-wolf of London, son of Frankenstein, etc

Ima be real, I just want to see him once. I've managed to miss him every time since we've been attending lol
Consider it more of a blessing than a curse.
Counterpoint: it’s fun to enjoy a popular icon that has defined an event we love.

As much as I truly do love Jack (slightly biased as 25 was my first year, so he was also my first Icon), I do very much agree it's time for him to either be retired or be given a long break.
I hope whenever we get Jack vs Oddfellow, it's also used as a finale of sorts for Jack, his last time being full Icon status, and from there on while he does get appearances, it's more align to 16 where while he did have a presence as a supporting Icon, he wasn't *the* Icon.

And that line of thinking will hold back event growth & evolution. Keep the Clown locked in retirement. Let others have their time, old or new, preferably not tied to him (like last year).
2010 was supposed to be start a new age of darkness. Unfortunately, IP overload was the "new age of darkness", but expected.

Actually I think having new Icons tied to previous ones is a great way of respecting the legacy while also paving the way for new Icons. While yes, Oddfellow is inherently connected to Jack, he very much stood as his own character and Icon (and I would argue is actually better than Jack).
Another example that could hopefully happen one day, as Legacy has suggested before, the Projectionist, the man who filmed for the Director and was driven insane by everything he's seen. Pull some strings with his backstory to make him stand more on his own like they did for Oddfellow, and viola, another great new Icon that also respects and continues the legacy of an older one (in this case, the absolute worst and most boring Icon, but I digress).
Big difference between acknowledging others & ....the Clown lol
He was used for the 2006 Universal Movie Balls Lagoon show that year. Definitely would make a good icon.
(FUN FACT: He was played by Jack actor- James Keaton)
Like the Director & Usher, he's a good fit in such an IP heavy era of HHN.
Doing that to basically the face of HHN is illogical

Director might not have a very deep backstory, and the only house type he lended himself to was knock off IP mashups, but goshdarnit it's a unique concept for an icon. So much more interesting to me than Jack.
Of course, most people do not feel that way... : /

Director was fairly provocative even back in 2003 when he was first introduced. I'm not sure he can really return as a marquee icon, unfortunately - he's just a bit too grim and nasty for what the event has become.

Yeah the very potential Orlando could have done with him, Hollywood had already done it and pretty much shows that yeah not many people would fully love it and only a select few would lol.
