The talk of time makes me think Doctor Who.

Maybe too along the lines of the obvious, but a house dedicated to the Lost Boys could be interesting.

^^THIS!!! I have always wanted a Lost Boys house! I was actually hoping that last years rumored vampire house was Lost Boys. If they were to this myself and some other people would be very happy!

I don't take him literally, but a house based on a twisted Peter Pan would be amazing

Thanks, but I've heard folks say similar things before and I just don't see it. Can anyone point me to something specific that he predicted correctly before anyone else leaked it? All I've ever seen is vague ramblings that are retconned after the fact to seem like smart predictions, the same way a fake psychic throws out enough guesses until something happens to be right...

More or less. Sometimes he has actual info - usually gleaned from other sources he's close to - and those "cryptic comments" will be far more detailed and usually more obvious. But he knows a lot less than he lets on.

He seems to know a lot very early this yr which means they (UO) know what they want to do this yr... Hopefully nothing last min gets tossed in the mix.

To be honest I want an event that feels like a 25th Anniversary, and not some best of from the last few years

UO did stuff in the 90s that put them on the map in Haunts, then in the IOA years they did story lines that nobody seen before.. The last few yrs it feels like there doing stuff very cookie cutter to make everybody happy.

Hmm, that is a valid point..it seems the event has stopped evolving and is the same event with different names each year...The thing is, where do you go from where they are?

 

[Dr. Raymond Holmes]

Sometimes I feel like there going backwards in some ways... They got the design and details down, so lets make the event scary again

Can you imagine a giant Crocodile puppet? Like how scary would that be mixed with strobe lights and claps of thunder!?!?

Jimmy's 3rd clue is up, sounds like it might be Freddy vs Jason.

If you go back about 2 - 3 years, his one-word clues were not that difficult at all--generally broken within hours--and all proved accurate (well, the Mayan house or whatever that was bumped for Transformers didn't come to pass, but I think everyone accepts it was on the table, and he later amended that hint). Apparently some heat came down, because he soon switched to obscure show tunes as clues.

He could be trying to make concepts fit random songs he's chosen, but if you watch his 10-minute explanation of why he chose "You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile" last year--where he gives like 5 different reasons why he picked that song and they all kind of make sense. Besides, a couple, e.g. "Masquerade," were just too squarely on the nose. I tend to think he's on the up and up.

something occurred to me
what if they were going to repeat the purge scarezone from last year? would anyone like that? I personally would like it.
If they changed the props around or added new props and changed some of the music I think it would be fun, even if they make a house as well

I don't see The Purge returning this year since the 3rd got delayed to 2016.

I'd like the Purge scare zone more if it was smaller.

I really enjoyed the Purge scares one this year. I wouldn't mind it making a second appearance this year. I really liked the deal of the environment that it gave the event in the New York area. If they wanted to change things up with different props/shows that would be even better.

However, I really don't think its probable that we will see it again this year but I really hope that I'm wrong.

 

[georgemoe]

If any scare zone from 24 deserves a reprieve it's Bayou of Blood. Losing the ritual sacrifice after the first weekend took a lot away from the scarezone. While I did enjoy some performances for the four nights I was there the 2nd weekend, it wasn't the best experience possible. I totally don't buy the whole logistical argument for losing it. It was no picnic getting throw The Purge Zone at times during their show and I didn't see them changing anything there.

 

[Dr. Raymond Holmes]

The Purge SZ was IMO a 'Best of' SZ's in that area to make The Purge...

Hopefully they do another show in that area

 

[rockingamer20]

I think the 3rd clue is referring to FvJ. I can totally see FvJ this year, goes with the fact they did Halloween and AvP last year. Even though Paramount now owns Jason, they own the Friday the 13th series, New Line still owns FvJ the movie so their old partnership with New Line could make it happen. This ties to that tweet about old friends.

As for Neverland. I think it's Insidious and the further. Even if it's not I would be incredibly surprised if it doesn't happen this year. 1st is their past relationship with Jason Blum and using Saw,Purge, and Insidious in Hollywood. The 3rd movie comes out in June, Purge Anarchy came out in July last year. So the home video release ties directly with the event this year just like Purge did. Also it was Hollywood's highest rated house, and having experienced how awesome it was I'd love to see what we can do with it.

I know it will never happen, but I would love a house based on Dario Argento's Suspiria.
