The Old HHN 30 Speculation Thread (2020)

[Luigi18512]

Hmm I thought legacy said that would be ridiculous the other day or something

I'm not sure, but maybe he was being sarcastic? I don't really see what other houses Terra Cruentus could fit into if the 30 years house supposedly has the Dungeon of Terror as the facade.

I remember Ringwraith said 7/10 of the houses on TPUs list were right, and Icons was on there. I think it's safe to say at this point Invisible Man and Earthquake Zombies are not coming. I was thinking the other wrong one was the Victorian Tooth Fairy, as this house seems to be speculated as relating more to bedtime stories. Also, the description given by Legacy about the Tooth Fairy being large and looking Guillermo Del Toro-esque doesn't seem like it would be in Victorian times.n I could be very wrong though.

EDIT: NVM, it can't be Eillish. Ringwraith said that one of these (Eillish, Earthquake, and Invisible Man) was a known go.

EDIT2: RingWraith also pointed out the discrepancy between how the spec map had Bedtime Stories and TPU had Tooth Fairy, and how they may be two different ideas or how they can intertwine. Personally, I am leaning more towards the Bedtime Stories idea, because that was what seemed to be the rumor last year.

what music do you listen to? what bands?

... Not exactly the point of the post.

Spoiler: Music I Enjoy That's Besides The Point

The bands/slash artists I enjoy on repeat consist of Green Day, Say Anything, Ghost, Taylor Swift, a random mix of ska songs, 80's synth style horror music, operatic Italian horror music, and some horror musicals (Beetlejuice, Evil Dead, Sweeney Todd) just to name a few. I have a weird musical sensibility, especially for a horror film fanatic. Could never really get into metal or anything 'harder' than pop punk.

As someone who probably resided in the minority and really loved Depths of Fear (it nailed that vibe of crazy 80's bonkers horror movie directed by Stuart Gordon for me) I'd be pretty happy to see it return, even if I would prefer to see something older.

I'm super curious with regards to any 'anniversary' type house with regards to what rooms they would feature. I know we've had 'anniversary' houses before so will this one focus on just the most recent of horrors (i.e. 25 onward) or will it look back and try to capture the entire run of the event (as Legacy has hinted and others have contemplated).

It will be some of the past and some of the most recent, best of these last few years but it should be interesting which they would pick, I'm more interested what past houses they will pick from the beginning years of the event.

ghost is my all time favorite band.

I did.

But didn’t say it wasn’t true.

 

[OhHaiInternet95]

I did.

But didn’t say it wasn’t true.

Yeah I kinda hoped they would lean more into new ideas. But I can understand and respect the pressure to provide fanservice.

 

[Luigi18512]

I did.

But didn’t say it wasn’t true.

So, I am going to assume that this will tie into Terra Cruentus in some way (due to Ringwraith's post), and possibly tying into earthquakes (this second point I am alot less sure about). I suppose this means that this will be located in Soundstage 24, where the spec map speculated the Terra Cruentus house would go. I guess that this also gives us confirmation that the icons idea on TPU's list was right, meaning that the Tooth Fairy will most likely be more towards Bedtime stories.

Also, the list Tryston made a little while back was confirmed to have three things right. Assuming Bedtime/Toothfairy and Icons are in the Soundstages and Pumpkin King is in Sprung Tent 2 (which has pretty much been confirmed as well), this means that TCM isn't in Shrek, one of the Sprungs has an IP (although Legacy could have grouped the "originals in sprungs" together), Eilish and Monsters are not in the warehouses, and Hillhouse isn't in a soundstage. Apparently, Hillhouse was confirmed to be in the New Parade Warehouse, and Billie seems to be most likely in Shrek. The only other IP that could be in Sprung 1 is TCM. There is still an unknown original though (by my list in soundstage 23), and I am very interested in what it could be.

EDIT: I wouldn't be surprised if Billie was in a Soundstage and the original was in Shrek.

Thank you for enduring that. I've heard from several people how hard the experience was. Its not even like the compensation for the work is all that good. Hopefully you get a better role this year if you go for one. I have mad respect for you and other team members who have to put up with stuff like that.

Yeah it’s a lot to deal with. But a total blast and I love it. I’m super excited for this year. I started out as reserve last year so I only had to suffer being a fish for one night before I was lucky enough to get hard cast in a different house. Which thank god because the new role was great and our house was well received by fans Which made it even more fun. We’ll see what’s in store for me this year! I love reading all the speculation on here though. We are all kept in the dark right up until day one of rehearsals when they finally tell us our roles. So it’s fun to muse over the possibilities haha.

In every HHN position I’ve ever been in, they burn masks and costume pieces at the end. They’re so beat up by the end that they’re mostly beyond repair and it’s cheaper to replace.

That's so wild to me. I don't know if it's because they're produced at a generally higher quality, but practically all of the masks and costume pieces from Hollywood's event get logged, stored, and saved.

haven’t been on this forum in a bit, so i’m pretty behind, but can we talk about how structured the window jumping scare was? first sally popped in the boo hole, then leatherface ran in behind her, then sally runs through the window transitioning into the next scene? i kind of love it

I’m not expecting a Terra Cruentes “house.” I expect the Terra Queen to appear in a house. That’s it.

I was honestly amazed when I saw that scare! also really liked how they had leatherfaces outside of the house!!!

that was really cool as well. overall, for a house based on a movie that has virtually no gore whatsoever they did a pretty decent job trying to make it gory.

although it does seem like this house takes place in the texas chainsaw 3D timeline, as drayton definitely looks less like jim siedow and more like bill moseley playing jim siedow

Let it be known in the forum. ^THIS is how you connect the dots and come up with something that is well thought out. And you showed your work! Some of it's wrong, but you're well on your way! 92%

This is the same thing I've been saying the entire time. Many are focused on an earthquake rather than what is the result of the earthquake.

Is there any word at all on Dr. Agana for an icon house?

She's too copyright for us, one of the intellectual types.

I still feel like they can get around with it in a house with "The Doctor"

Queen deserves better than being owned by some stupid makeup lady.

Clearly, not bitter at all here.

 

[Pedro Navarro]

Whoa, I thought the copyright claim expired months ago, it was expired and they could use Mary now @mystiquephreeq had figured it out.

 

[shiekra38]

Whoa, I thought the copyright claim expired months ago, we found out that it was expired and they could use Mary now

Who knows honestly...Well I'm sure someone does...That was my favorite year of all time so I would LOVE any reference to it.
