I've learned my lesson from the past years to not build personal hype for a house/zone based on the concept alone as it can be poorly executed (Museum, Shipyard, Spirits of the Coven, etc.). So instead, I decided to rank them into general categories based on how interesting the concept is to me and wait to be surprised.

(Excited, Looking Forward) - Grave of Flesh, El Artista, Hatchet & Chains
  • Grave of Flesh sounds like a very claustrophobic dark house, El Artista has that "possessed house" concept, and Hatchet was a great room at Slaughter.
(Cautiously Optimistic) - Terrifier, Jason Universe, Dolls, Galkn
  • Terrifier is my most anticipated IP, but I worry it may become too reliant on gore like the SAW houses. Jason Universe I'm skeptical due to its location. The Musuem's ship scene was the only good part of that house, so I'm hoping it's similar.
(Not Personally Interested, Waiting to be Surprised) - Five Nights at Freddy, WWE, Fallout
  • Not interested in any of these IPs, but I'm looking forward to treating them as originals. I don't think they're bad concepts, just not something I'm personally invested in.

I don't need all-timers this year, but it can't be a repeat of last year. Last year really bummed me out.

As someone who has lost the passion for HHN after 12-14ish years, I love reading these lists to see that I’ve been replaced by people who are still hyped for the event.

I lost a bit of passion these last few years based on the execution (HHN 33 was embarrassing), but I think this is a redemption year for them. Just walking through USF lately has excited me which hasn't been the case the last 2-3 years.

I am happy to see all of you so excited for this year. I do agree with some previous discussions that last year really seemed like a turd in a punchbowl with the exception of Insidious and Slaughter Sinema 2 which I loved. Most of last year just felt way off - especially the zones. With the crazy rumors this year, and the announced IPs, it was the first time in 20 years that I seriously considered cutting back my travel. For me, there isn't any IP where I am losing my mind with excitement. I am hoping they pull off some really amazing houses and surprise the hell out of me and my group. On paper though, all of us are kind of meh about the IPs. I've watched several Jason movies (not all of them as one of my pet peeves is how they milk these franchises to death until they become a parody of themselves). Overall, Jason has never been one of my faves as far as slashers. I prefer more paranormal type horror as opposed to slasher/gore movies., but if I had to pick a "fave slasher', it'd be Michael Myers. Thankfully, I've seen that iteration multiple times at HHN. Nothing beats the original one from 2014 though. My god..

I watched the FNAF movie this past weekend just because it's coming, and I thought it was one of the dumbest things I've ever seen. Not dissing anyone here who loves it - again, you do you. For me, it was just badly written, extremely reliant on overused tropes and pretty much laughable. Nothing "scary" to it at all.

The last several years, it's mostly been the originals that have done it for me, so that's why I am focusing on now.

1. El Artista - this looks to be exactly my kind of thing - love the gorgeous sets and the haunted house vibe

2. Galkn - when I saw the artwork and noticed the wolf in the pic, my first thought was they would bring back the wolf puppets from AWIL. YES PLEASE!

3. Grave of Flesh - this is higher on my list because I'm hoping this is the claustrophobic, tight house with agressive scares. I could be wrong, but that's the vibe I get.

4. Fallout - I enjoyed this show. I could see this one being really fun especially if they use the music (which I'm sure they will), There is a lot of potential with this one I think.

5. Hatchet & Chains - while also not the SS2 room I would've made into a house, I'm curious to see what they do with it. Generally not into Westerns, but this could end up being a fun one.

6. Dolls - I loved Dollhouse of the Damned, but I just wonder if this will be kind of a remix of other doll centered houses they've done before. Not sure what to think on this one.

7. Jason Universe - a familiar slasher with maybe some very large, aggressive actors might keep this from being repetitive and somewhat uninspired.

8. WWE - not a wrestling fan AT ALL, but I did see the pics you've all posted of the masks and makeup used by the characters. If I ignore the idea that this came from WWE and focus on the characters, maybe this will be cool. Also, any time A&D has a lot of passion about something, it often turns out to be a real banger.. so, I will give this a chance.

9. FNAF - I can only base this on the movie I watched which I just metnioned above. I'm sure all of you who played the games have a different take. I hope you get what you want.

10. Terrifier - I absolutely loathe horror movies whose sole existence is just to feature gore and torture. I get that Art the Clown is suddenly ubiquitous, but I'm not going to get sucked in to watching this stuff after learning what it really is. It's not like Art is a new version of Pennywise or something. He's clearly much darker. I'll pass on the torture porn.

1. The Wyatt Sicks - The story of the Firefly Funhouse is very personal to the dearly departed Bray Wyatt. First and foremost, it is a horror story, with frightening characters. The fact that he was a professional wrestler merely serves as context for the demons in his mind. I expect references to Exorcist, Poltergeist, and House of 1000 Corpses.

2. Jason Universe - I’m hoping the rights issues didn’t hold them back here because I’ve always been a fan of the big 80s slasher films. The movies are just stupid fun.

3. Galkn - I’m a nerd for mythology, so this gets my imagination going.

4. El Artista - Between the artistic concept and the rumored set design, this could jump even higher on my list later.

5. Dolls - I’m really intrigued by the dollhouse scale and how they pull it off.

6. FNaF - I’m aware of the games, and I found the movie boring, but it’s still a great horror concept. I grew up going to Chuck E Cheese.

7. Fallout - It’s a really fun show, with a lot of opportunity for character moments.

8. Hatchet and Chains - I really like the idea of a western horror, but I’m hoping there is some variety in the characters used. I’m keeping my expectations low for now.

9. Grave of Flesh - I’m having a hard time picturing how this story is going to play out, but I want to be taken by surprise by this house. Let’s see if it jumps up the list.

10. Terrifier - In 3 movies, I couldn’t find any characters I really enjoyed. The sets could be fun, but Art the Clown is not an interesting character to me. It’s the only house I can’t get hyped for right now.
