Oh, no doubt the material is new- but will the GP be accepting of hearing TCM as top billing again?

It wasn’t top billing last year.
Devil's Advocate: is a show that couldn't crack the top 15 of 2021 and seemingly didn't get enough views to warrant a sequel truly a "headliner" worth HHN's time? (Yeah, some of the 70s/80s flicks had mediocre box office, but their reputation has grown).
On the flip side, Netflix has Witcher, the #3 most watched original show with a third season and entire extended universe coming. Netflix has Squid Game, which--as ill-suited to a house as it is--was the #1 show turned cultural phenomenon, and has a sequel coming. Even if they want to bench Stranger Things to avoid TWD-like fatigue (which seems counter-intuitive with it still well-represented in among the crowd last Fall despite having 2 years off), I'd think a top 3 show with future prospects is more appealing to Netflix Marketing department than what can only be described from a business perspective as a modest corporate failure. Hell, even Shadow & Bone, also a poor but not impossible candidate for a house, had better ratings and earned a sequel.

I've heard enough to know that F&F will be a house location this year. Not sure if it'll be in queue or the empty space, but it'll be used. Wonder if it'll replace MIB or Shrek.
If Minions/Shrek project was moved for next year, they'll have to find another space. Guess they intended on utilizing Shrek until the delay.
And before anyone gets worried, we're not losing the # of houses.

Was the Cafe La Bamba location ever genuinely considered for a house last event or was that part of the intentional red herring speculation?
F&F queue area is a wonderful choice to space the houses out a little, btw. Glad to get something back in that area beyond the cluttered scare zone

Honestly, I can't even remember if it was actually considered or not. I do remember thinking how ridiculous it was due to how small of a space it is.
I'm pretty sure "House in La Bamba" rumor was a misread of the Skeleton Bar in the same way "Earthquake Zombies" was to Puppet Theatre.

So past years we've seen houses based on streets (Dead Waters, etc) so I'm wondering if we'll be getting another this year and if so what it would be.

The Viking scarezone from 2019 would be a great fit.

If you're keeping the pattern of last year's street feeding into this year's house then Seek and Destroy would have the best aesthetic imo. Just lean further into the cyberpunk aspect

Crypt TV would make a great house. Unfortunately, the street was too crowded, but a house with these monsters would be great
What about Vamp, Invasion, or Dead Man's Wharf? They were all represented in Eddie's Zone last year, so maybe it's time to give one of them a house?

Ngl, I really think an Invasion house would be awesome.

Invasion! has oodles of potential for a fun, campy house. I'd be all for it if that happened.
The online reaction to scare zones last year seemed poor.
The themed bars at Sea World however, seemed well received.
Time for some zones to evolve into something more? Also, would bring in more money on booze.
