1)Nevermore- Nearly each of Poe's stories individually could merit its own house much less an amalgam of them all. Even more befitting, the man had to drop out of the University of Virginia due to outstanding gambling debts. The still shot released was by far the most in-depth and surreal. Considering I've known about this house for quite a while now, I absolutely cannot wait.
2)Nightingales: A WWI tench warfare house where demonic shake-shifters pose as nurses to pray on the wounded? That is a perfectly twisted premise and it has my full attention. The promo photo of the three masks also look absolutely horrifying. I am stoked.
3)Winter's Night: I know it seems generic but I love a good, classic haunt. And the Weeping Angel from Dr. Who in the promo image adds a nice layer to it. Like the Body Collectors nodded to Buffy and Sculders Nodded to X-Files, the Weeping Angels stalking throughout this haunt would be an brilliant move. The officially titled photo on the new website has a glowing, weeping figure as well, making me even more excited that my Who-intuition is correct.
4)Saws'N'Steam: I have also known about this house a while so, naturally, I have been very anxious to see it in motion. Steam Punk is always fun and, with a granted soundstage and assumed high budget, this house could really go far.
5)The Forsaken: Seems a bit underwhelming. I was really hoping for a Pirates maze. I'm sure it'll be filled with undead crewmen, angry natives, and spiritual warfare. Effects-wise they have a lot of room here to experiment and shell out some wicked stuff.
6) H.R. Bloodengutz: It looks like they might be trying too hard to fit the mold they've made for themselves after years of successful B-houses. I'm sure it'll be funny but it just seems all too familiar. Basically they're combining Cleaver, Creatures, and Zombigedden with the additional flare of a Dr. Paul Bearer-esk T.V. host.
7)The In Between: I a not a fan of light-gimmicks. I didn't like Jack's Fun House. I didn't like Dead Exposure. And this house seems to be falling in the same line. I think the premise is intriguing enough but I'm not certain about another pseudo-trippy house--especially with an element of 3D.
8)The Thing: Not looking forward to the prequel and not looking forward to a fourth year of Thing Puppets.
