I mean--we'll have a few weeks to just speak about this, cool our heads.
And no, they're not doing a horror event in the spring.

I know it’s not on topic - but I’d wager that’s probably cut unless treatment options improve/vaccine is released.

I'm home and I poured myself a drink.
farfanoogin.
I'm emotionally wiped. Moderating the forum and thread since March has taken a real toll on myself and others. This is the drop that just hits so hard, I don't know what to say. I'm going to miss a lot of things and a lot of people. I don't know really what to do right now and still haven't canceled my flight or hotel room. I'm just so so so spent and exhausted.
I think we all need to take a break after this.

Would you like me to pop out of a boo hole to some synced up sound bite from your fav horror film?

I'll cheers to that. I've been drinking (responsibly) since noon
As much as I didn't really feel safe about the whole event moving forward, it was still the last and only thing I had left to look forward to for the year after having so many big moments canceled and now it's down the drain too. It's rough. Definitely think getting away from the event for a few months is much needed. Hoping this doesn't take too much of a toll on the staffing within the parks, but it's going to be rough it seems.And massive thanks to the staff as always. We all owe you all drinks (or maybe pizza fries) come next year's event lol.

If we have Christmas but not Halloween I'm sending some angry emails
On the bright side... now they have even more time to make that long-awaited Iron Maiden house!

Just to be 100% clear - I do not expect to see any indication of "Halloween Horror Nights 2021" on either coast until it's clear the pandemic situation has measurably improved, either by a breakthrough treatment, vaccine, or drastically lowered and controlled case numbers.
Expecting anything else is foolhardy.

who needs haunted houses when you're stuck in an endless episode of the twilight zone eh'
I think Brian’s early prediction of March is probably smart. Gets past the election, Christmas, and hopefully gets the cases lowered. So basically it will be like any other HHN year just with a year long gap.

Is there a chance we could see more anniversary merch for this year or prob just what’s already been seen?

Hang in there brother. Thanks to yourself and everyone else who mods and contributes to the threads. This disease has really wrecked so much of what we all love and cherish in a short period of time. Its been such a rough year and I think we were all hoping this would someone be possible - it does really hit hard no matter how inevitable it was.
This thread was a source of some sanity (and at times insanity) through some very difficult months. So again, thanks. Dark times no doubt, but optimism and promise is on the horizon with the hundreds of vaccine trials in various stages.
See you in the fog, whenever that might be.

Obviously the safety issue was paramount. But I bet it was a financial decision too. They probably calculated that without income from booze and the very limited amount of people who could be accommodated nightly, the event just didn’t make sense. Certainly not enough to cover blowback that they would have gotten for holding the event. They made the decision they felt they had to make but still a major disappointment for fans and I’m sure many scareactors.
I imagine the loss of an IP as was hinted at along with the potential money that would’ve been lost from that also “helped” the call.

Welp. Looks like Billie was about to drop a new song right around the time of the announcement even. Wonder if/how much marketing discussed the timing of the announcement (pre-cancellation) with her team.
