Forgot to post my original HYPE LIST a while back but after all the BTS tours and even some of the houses in Orlando, I'm even more pumped and some things have shifted!
9. Universal Monsters: Eternal Bloodlines
Even in last I am still looking forward to this one, that fact they give the Monsters not only a Soundstage venue, but THE historical soundstage 12 is insane! The facade is already looking amazing and this soundstage is big so I hope it is a long house aswell! The Bride is one of the more popular and iconic universal Monsters so lets see if her 2nd outing can score her 2 for 2.
8. Dead Exposure: Death Valley
Unsure of what to even make of this one, it's not an adaption from Orlando's but shares the name. Its story and premise have been very vague, and even the BTS still don't give us much of an idea. It may just be a regular zombie house but I'm still curious to see what will be come of Death Valley!

It may just be a regular zombie house or it can blow out minds. Just on that, I'm still VERY curious to see what will be come of Death Valley!
6. Terror Tram: Enter the Blumhouse
Would have been #9 as Blumhouse isn't at all an interesting concept for the Terror Tram and with how it usually is formatted, I would say it wasn't gonna be all too exciting. However! With the amount of effort they are putting into the sections in the former Who-Ville, Bates Motel, War of the Worlds, all these mini Gauntlets with set pieces and multiple facades!?! I think this may be the start of a new Terror Tram era where it goes from basically just a large scarezone, to the return of gauntlets! Something we haven't seen since 2019, and I'm here for it!!!
5. A Quiet Place
This one has been shrouded in mystery of how are they gonna pull it off? And after some of the BTS, I can say this could deliver! It's a fresh venue with no walls to get around, I wonder how well it will actually be quiet (Spoilers: It Wont) or at least dampened. But I'm interested to see how they pull it off!
4. The Weeknd: Nightmare Trilogy
The VIBE has returned! I loved hearing the songs from After Hours during the queue and house, the lighting was amazing and I feel like this will be a step above this. Plus the 3rd mystery album should be a surprise since we got no idea what it might entail!
3. Monstruos Dos: The Nightmares of Latin America
Last Year's Latin American Monsters were stellar! So I hope this one can live up to its predecessor! The facade is looking just as beautiful and some of the BTS are looking more vicious than ever!
2. Insidious: The Further
2017's iteration of Insidious is still the scariest house I have ever been through at any Haunt Event EVER! This has that scare level to live up to and I'm sure it will pass it in scenic cuz yea XD. The Insidious franchise just lends itself to being adapted for a haunted attraction and I'm sure this will be great!
1. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Legacy of Leatherface
Leatherface! Unlike many I always welcome the return of iconic slashers back to HHN, especially when this new take on the chainsaw-wielding brute that is coming at us with an all-new take! The multiverse and roles of the dis-assembly line approach make the idea of multiple Leatherfaces from all nine films sound amazing! We only ever get the original look in many of TCM's returns, so too see many variations on the character!? I can't wait! The facade looks amazing and all that was shown at Midsummer is making this house to be one of the goriest and most disgusting ever!
