Um..Walking Dead is probably the strongest horror IP in the country right now. Marketing is just doing there job. Correctly.

There's probably a pretty good reason why one of those is taking a back seat to TWD...Yay for gringotts, yay for scream being leaked and yay for video number 2. The twitter message basically said "sorry for the wait, more announcements soon". Also I don't want to get back on this subject again but it makes me so frustrated TWD is before every IP in the promotional stuff with the biggest logo. How the heck Insidious, scream and Freddy vs friggin Jason is taking a backseat to it is unbelievable to me. In the leaked photo insidious isn't even there lol

This reads as either A) the design team knows a house is going to be mediocre or B) Insidious just isn't much of an actual draw, especially after Insidious 3 underperformed (though it does make for good HHN house fodder).
I dunno about strongest in the country, but it's by far the strongest IP HHN has.
Or something else.
Can you name another horror based TV show that brings in the same type of ratings?
In comparison to what's been announced...there hasn't been a Freddy or Jason movie in years. The characters are iconic for sure, but they arent' on TV nor Films currently.
Insidious is a cult horror film franchise, it does not have the same pull as you may think.
TO BE CLEAR...my point isn't about how you personally feel about Walking Dead, nor about how many times they have had a Walking Dead house at HHN. It's simply that this is a very, very, popular IP...and continues to be. It would be silly for the UOR marketing team NOT to put it front and center.
Personally, I still like the show, and as I mentioned I don't go to HHN every year, so I don't get nearly as upset as some of you folks about it.
True. Wouldn't be HHN without a last-minute, BS shakeup, right?
You have no idea...True. Wouldn't be HHN without a last-minute, BS shakeup, right?
Was wondering if an Evil Dead house would appear this year considering the new show they are doing. Of course, Deadites are basically Zombies..so they may not want two zombie houses.
They did 2 years ago.
