(Oh god was that really 4 years ago)

I'm still of the mind that a potential IT house is gonna be based on the first movie only, just because of how much space it's gonna take. AHS being taken out with Cult-zone and Asylum house means that the mega-tent will be (possibly) freed up for next year; I could see an IT compilation house / Stranger Things S2&3 in there, then.

Truly, I didn't realize how long it had been either until I just had to count it out.

And yeah I also think the adult half of the book wouldn't translate well as a maze anyways unless the movie REALLY changes it up.

Apparently, they're adapting the history segments as well, so the fire at the Black Spot and possibly the long-rumoured "colony" scene could be included. There are cool parts of the Adult segment, too: Pennywise in the TV, Pennywise at the Asylum, the murder of the gay bloke, Christine showing up, the Bully going crazy, Stan's suicide, giant spider... Get creative with the ending, and I think there's enough.

I honestly don't even remember if we got a HHN announcement at last year's SDCC. I remember there was a huge gap in the June-July period if memory serves correctly. I hope this year doesn't have a repeat, in that it feels like most of the mazes are rushed to be announced late-July through all of August.

If I remember correctly, June and July was when a lot of the behind the scenes shake-ups for HHN happened which would explain the dry spell..

True, I distinctly remember Murdy saying that there was an announcement (turned out to be AvED) coming one week and then backtracking. Meddling Starz!

Yeah I remember the delayed announcement! And then they started getting spit out towards the end of the month, going into August. My hope is that things run a bit smoother in the following 4 months. That way, by the time tickets go on sale, we'll at least have the vast majority of attractions announced (or for those of us in this forum's case, CONFIRMED).

I just hope USH doesn't use some of the black walls displayed in some of their mazes including Evil Dead and the Exorcist. I was so disappointed with the number of black mazes being used in Evil Dead whereas Orlando barely any of that is used at all.

I think Evil Dead's problems stemmed more from budget woes than deliberate creative choices. If you went through Murdy's twitter after the event, you could see that he wasn't happy with AvED either (admitted problems with # of Black walls + talked about how he had to cut things like the Delta, tool shed, possessed trees, etc. from the maze)

Edit: reports from last year said this year's budget was upped significantly, so things are looking up!

Just a thought but 1984 does have Big Brother, which could be a connection to Georgie and Bill from IT. Although I do think the 1984 = The Thing connection makes more sense

It's the theme that keeps bringing me back to The Thing. John tweeted the codename will give you the theme of the maze.

Yeah I agree; Not sure why but I have a feeling The Thing might be our next announcement since Late April/May typically brings the classic property maze

So I went back a little bit and started back at the 1984 connection. With 1984 being the codename.

One year ago Murdy brought up this song by David Bowie as a idea for a Codename for Ash Vs Evil Dead. Fast forward to this year and the codename for this year is "1984".

I believe that the codename refers to the song 1984 by David Bowie. Which is on a Album called Diamond Dogs. Another song on the Album is called "Sweet Thing" (Reprise).

The Lyrics of the Song reveal the THEME of what the Maze is going to be about.

"If you want it, boys, get it here thing
'Cause hope, boys, is a cheap thing, cheap thing

Is it nice in your snow storm
Freezing your brain?
Do you think that your face looks the same?
Then let it be
It's all I ever wanted
It's a street with a deal
And a taste
It's got claws
It's got me
It's got you"

1984 = The Thing

That seems like a dead on connection. It seems like even Murdy acknowledged this might be true too

I could see that, especially with Murdy being a music guy.

Would be funny if I hit the codename but got the wrong connection.

EDIT (So I don't double post) To further strengthen the 1984 Orwell connection. The David Bowie song 1984 is based on the novel and was intended to be part of a stage musical based on the book. The musical was scrapped because Orwell's widow wouldn't allow it.

While Sweet Thing does have some elements that could relate to The Thing, I think the code name 1984 has to do with the song and book themselves. In fact the entire Diamond Dogs album was inspired by the Book 1984.
