The Old HHN 30 Speculation Thread (2020)

[JJ591]

So, to clarify “lead:”

Long E sound.

LOL - I googled "2nd First Look + Lead + Horror" and the very first article that came up was: Pinhead (Hellraiser) - Wikipedia

It literally has nothing to do with 2nd First Look or Lead, but it was pretty funny that it was the very first article that appeared and is also #1 on my wish list for an IP house.

The Far Side
Won 2 Reuben Awards
Paul Reubens
Lead actor in Pee Wee's Big Adventure
Directed by Tim Burton
Tim Burton has been traveling around with his artwork and stuff, so Tim Burton property

This is kinda a long shot, but i'll give it a try.

The Far Side
Midvale School for the Gifted
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children is a movie about "gifted" kids
Directed by Tim Burton
Lead actress is Eva Green
Who was in Dark Shadows, also directed by Tim Burton

Anything there?

Maybe that's what Legacy meant by "hard"

Pinhead?? He was the “a lead” for the Cenbites.

 

[Imperius]

Alright my turn.
Tales from the Far Side was a short film with the lead composer being Bill Frisell. He is also a lead guitarist and there is an article where he played original scores for buster keaton and Boris Karlof films are UCLA live. So maybe another UCM house rumor.

 

[ssirin88]

Alright, another longshot.

Far Side
Midvale School for the Gifted
Midvale is a city in Utah
The Stand and Halloween 4 had scenes filmed in Midvale
Lead actor of The Stand is Gary Sinise
Gary Sinise was in Apollo 13 with Bill Paxton
Bill Paxton was one of the leads in Aliens

Something Aliens related?

Am I even on the right path by focusing on the Midvale aspect?

 

[Legacy]

Maybe that's what Legacy meant by "hard"

No, I mean "hard" as in difficult. It's intentionally challenging, and requires a smattering of random trivia and unexpected logic.

I am proud of the "lead" shortcut though, as it actually applies a couple of ways.

So no Pinhead?

Yeah that's what I was referring to - a Google search containing all the clues leading to the answer rather than guessing here.

But you already said nope, so that's all done.

 

[JJ591]

So no Pinhead?

To be clear, I wasn't even remotely supposing that Hellraiser was the actual answer. It was more just of a funny note that when I plugged those key words into google, that's what came up first being that it's a lot of people's #1 wishes (including mine).

 

[Legacy]

So no Pinhead?

Pinhead is not the answer.

 

[RevFreako]

Speaking of which, we have one outstanding clue that I'm guessing nobody's gotten close on yet. Thought I would throw it back up in case people forgot about it.

Long shot, but could the Far Side clue somehow be New Mutants? It's technically a horror movie, and the "school for the gifted" is what Xavier calls it...

Would probably put that at 0% chance.

 

[Kichkinet85]

The clue @Legacy gave us was for Midvil school for the gifted.
@Legacy said it was for a H.
@Legacy said clues for H involves the date/location.
The dates I come up with are 11/24/1986 and 9/9/2012.
The location I have is Utah.

Am I on the right track @Legacy?

Nope.

So far, no one has even figured out what matters from the clue to start the logic.

That now leads me to push/pull or maybe the boy is suppose to “lead” to the boy. It’s so easy it’s hard.

Nope.

* Midvale School for the Gifted
* Famous Far Side comic strip
* This specific image from 2nd First Look website
* Official Far Side site was relaunched (kind of a "second first look") on September 13, 2019
* A horror movie released on that date was named "Haunt", in which the lead character has to lead the group through the rest of the house and to safety
* My guess is HAUNT as a B-level slasher movie that, in reality, is made to be an HHN house.

* Even if it's not the answer, this movie is REALLY cool and would make an amazing house. It's from the writers of A Quiet Place and it's basically a group of "kids" walking through a makeshift HHN house (but through like a garage) that has some really creepy costumes and set pieces.
