I’ve been on and off of this thread because life, but is there any idea as to what might replace Ellish? Just curious.
Nobody is 100% sure. I’ve heard rumors of Chucky, Halloween 3, some original, but it all seems to be baseless speculation. I know Halloween 3 is rumoured for HHN Hollywood though, but I don’t think it’ll transfer over here.I’ve been on and off of this thread because life, but is there any idea as to what might replace Ellish?

I don’t mind at all! Keep in mind, this is all personal taste and if you liked Hellbilly, that’s great, you don’t have to agree.
Hellbilly fit Rob Zombie’s aesthetic perfectly, and unfortunately that is part of the issue. The horror of the scarezone revolved mostly around using the Go-Go dancers as almost a sort of eye-candy, and because of that, it created a very trashy environment that just felt gross to be in. Now, feeling gross is something I tend to like in horror, it means horror is doing it’s job: however this felt gross in a way that was rooted more in misogyny and the objectification of women. That’s what made it so uncomfortable for me.
In addition, the scarezone attracted a specific crowd of mostly drunk men, and while in that scarezone I saw scareactors (especially female scareactors) being harassed by these drunk park goers. Attracting this kind if crowd by objectifying people is bad enough in movies, but at haunts it’s worse because this is a live, physical performer that has to interact in close range with people who may view them as no more than a prop. They could be heckled, assaulted, or injured. Hellbilly is basically the sole reason I advocate so firmly about making HHN a dry event, because that zone showed me how little you can trust the general audience around scareactors when they’re drunk.
I hope this makes sense! Once again, this is personal taste and personal opinion. Please feel free to educate me if I’ve said anything wrong though.
From what little we know of Ellish, it seems like it would probably have to be a more colorful theme. I could see them resurrect Chucky: Friends ‘till the End from 2009 into that space. They did that with Saw.Nobody is 100% sure. I’ve heard rumors of Chucky, Halloween 3, some original, but it all seems to be baseless speculation.

You miss all the fun, huhDang... I got sidetracked and never got to post my response to the shenanigans...
.... Did I miss a page in the lore?You know who would have NONE of this?
This queer icon:
Nah, I've just decided that because I, a queer man, view Dr. Agana as a queer legend, that she is now a queer legend..... Did I miss a page in the lore?
Yea, did you miss the final nights of Reflections of Fear when she got up on stage and said “Hey Howdy y’all! I’m Bloody Mary, the bisexual!”.... Did I miss a page in the lore?

Hey, that's good enough for me!Nah, I've just decided that because I, a queer man, view Dr. Agana as a queer legend, that she is now a queer legend.
Headcanon.
Ok, back to spec lol
This is one of those "doubt thing that's plug-common because *I* haven't seen it" - "wait a minute, I see it all the time" - "it happens to us in our numbers" cycles that are so prevalent. It'll pop up twice more on this forum before Halloween.
Once again, thank you. (I am a little sad you deleted the @DannyPowers hilarity, that really was a good one.)We're sorry to all for the thread devolving into that chaos and if it offended any of our woman followers or members of the LGBTQ+ community. I've cleaned up the thread starting from when the posts started becoming problematic. I've banned MrTorrance for his comments permanently. While we encourage a difference of opinion, hateful ones are not going to be tolerated - especially when it dismisseses women's issues and homophobia. For now, we'll let the thread get back to HHN speculation and after a cool-down period - we'll open a dedicated thread to the previous discussion.
