I'm going to be completely honest with y'all, I doubt the imagery in this ad is any sort of tease towards an icon or theme. It looks cool but it comes across (to me at least) just scary theming for marketing and that's it. Maybe you guys are right but idk... lolThis definitely feels more high-concept than Oddfellow. I would not be surprised if this brings back the idea that, by entering the park, we are entering some kind of realm or world that the Icon rules over- just going off the arch design in the video. It reminds me of entering the Palace Theater for the Director, or Jack's Carnival of Carnage, or even the Terra Realm.
:^)On the topic of Icons, it's worth noting that Fear's Lantern Realm (as featured in the ICONS Captured house) canonically exists directly underneath the park. So if we're getting some kind of icon tease, maybe one of the heralds is returning?
The fact that Hollywood shared the same commercial points to this as well. They're not known to play the "icon game".I'm going to be completely honest with y'all, I doubt the imagery in this ad is any sort of tease towards an icon or theme.

Although, the success of Oddfellow may be changing that tune.
Are we really getting a shared Icon. I am so excited I have never been to a HHN year that had a icon or even a theme before. I guess "Fear really can't be contained"If Fear is involved, I feel like that concept is something general enough that Hollywood can still utilize for marketing without having it be tied in the same way it is for Orlando. As @saint.piss said, it's generic enough to be spooky imagery and that's all Hollywood needs. Orlando can continue spinning their mythology however they please, and maybe that's how they tie the marketing together for both coast in lieu of heavy-hitting IPs (potentially)
I think time will tell. If the announcements continue this theme and imagery, I think it'll be a lock. But as of now, I understand the skepticismI'm going to be completely honest with y'all, I doubt the imagery in this ad is any sort of tease towards an icon or theme.

I said this earlier but best case scenario we get one on Thursday. Most of the hhn house announcements we've gotten over the past couple of years have always been on a Thursday and they have that HHN panel at Spooky Empire the day after so it would make a lot of sense imo.Now the question is announcement when? Are we still thinking we could get something this week before spooky empire? Or is this our announcement for now.
I feel like your whole argument is very flawed because of the fact that Hollywood also posted the same video.I think it’s a new “icon” the more I look at everything, but I am not sure if the focus on the year will just be this monster we see.
This trailer and the marketing is way to in depth to be something one off. A bigger story is at play here and I’m here for it.
Maybe Boris will fight it? They did use the NY section of the park in the trailer after all…
I don't mind a shared Icon though. We could use fear at HHN Hollywood the marketing and the theming is getting kind of bland.I feel like your whole argument is very flawed because of the fact that Hollywood also posted the same video.

Or June.I said this earlier but best case scenario we get one on Thursday. Most of the hhn house announcements we've gotten over the past couple of years have always been on a Thursday and they have that HHN panel at Spooky Empire the day after so it would make a lot of sense imo.
Could be misremembering, but doesn’t Hollywood have a habit of moving in lockstep(ish) with these marketing video releases up until a certain point, when they branch off? With that point being either when the IPs diverge or Orlando has a more in depth theme/backstory that Hollywood just cuts out of their final trailer?The fact that Hollywood shared the same commercial points to this as well. They're not known to play the "icon game".
