I’ve said it before but I think I kind of struck gold during speculation season with my Van Helsing vs the Monsters house. Have it serve as a reboot, have it be like the original UCM house except with gruesome massacres, have the final scene be a rotating battle between Helsing and a different monster, etc.
Some ideas work, some don’t. Clearly this year it kind of fell flat. Just stick to what makes the Monsters great and the established lore great.
