I like to think of each house as a movie. AWIL '13 was great and everybody loved it, then, the sequel is released this year and it gets panned by critics and will never live up to its predecessor. How many horror sequels are as good as the original? ZERO*. So I think that in a weird movie analogy way, AWIL 15 being horrible was the best thing ever.
*Maybe Insidious 2 but that's what I've heard...
