What do you guys think? Agree? Disagree?
 
Houses
1. Angels/Demons
2. Scarecrow
3. Bayou
4. AHS
5. Shining
6. Ash v ED
7. Vamp
8. Blumhouse
9. Saw

In general I love what they do with the originals and the top 3 can move around once official details are released. AHS was my favorite house last year so I am hopeful they do it right again. I want to like saw but I am afraid they will just go for gore and watching people be tortured vs getting actual scares.

SZ
1. TrT
2. Invasion!
3. FotD
4. Purge
5. Altars

Altars could be fun if they have the right characters to take in for a while but this will just be a photo zone unless they have the minions being aggressive with the crowds.

Myself I'm gonna' wait till all the houses are officially announced before doing a hype list, but as for scarezones...

1. Trick R Treat - Even though I'd rather have this as a house, I'm all for having another Halloween-themed scare zone in Central Park. It's hard to beat all those pumpkins in the trees. :heart:

2. Festival of the Deadliest - The theme is right up my alley, and Hollywood has been home to some really good zones, so I can imagine this'll be a ironically lively zone.

3. The Purge - While I think some people have been Purged Out, I'm fine with it. Especially since it sounds like they might be taking some original spins with it.

4. The Altars of Horror - This will no doubt be the photo op zone, probably crowded as well. Admittedly I'd have this last on my rank, but there is one worse....

5. Invasion! - Now this zone is not last due to it's theme, I friggin' LOVE the theme...which makes it all the worse that this zone is stuck in San Fran, it's far too small and cramped. If they put this in New York or Hollywood they could've had a field day, but with it being in SF it feels like a waste of a good theme.

7 ahs - first house was good
8 hive - could be good could be bad
9 blumhouse - im sorry but if you not including split or get out i think this house will just be meh
 
Hmm, so Cathedral-looking pic is probably Angels & Demons. Maybe the body is Dead Waters, the sheet window is scarecrow, and the barbed wire is Hive? Maybe swap Hive and Dead Waters depending on whichever on is supposed to be gorier.

Also, since we have scarecrows, figured I'd rank them too.
1. Trick 'r Treat - Still baffled it's a scarezone and not a house, but seeing the sheet ghosts and pumpkins already has me excited. I expected the big street festival scene from the movie, so I really dig the more eeriee approach it's going for instead.
2. Invasion! - I'm a sucker for classic sci-fi, so it's my number one based only on premise. Waiting to see the execution, since SF is real cramped at the moment. Hopefully we see some big robot/tripod type setpieces with a theremin blasting over the speakers.
3. Festival of the Deadliest - It's a real wildcard since I'm still not entirely sure of the theme still/how it will work. Dumbest name of the scarezones by far though.
4. The Purge - I'm kind of just expecting the same thing as Survive or Die, just with Uncle Sam instead of Mad Max.
5. Altars of Horror - I'm lukewarm on this year's IP lineup, so a zone that's doubling down on them is not doing much for me. Had this shown up last year instead, it'd be a way different story.

Im getting some kind of feeling that Jack is gonna be absent from the Shining house and only present in Altars

Nope; it's been confirmed on Hollywood's side Jack is gonna be in the maze and it would apply to Orlando as well in the case of this maze.

As for guesses on the houses:

Cathedral = Angels vs Demons
Slashed Body = Dead Waters
Sheet Window = Hive
Barbed Wire = Scarecrows or Saw

I typically make a custom house t-shirt but since the full lineup still hasn't been announced, I decided to make a B&T shirt for now. Let me know what you guys think.

I love the pocket logo.

Can I make a suggestion? On the back do the B&T Halloween logo a little smaller then list the "dates" for the shows on the back, like an actual tour.
