I was thinking more about something like SAW lol.Not necessarily, to use some anecdotal evidence Exorcist Believer was an absolutely atrocious movie but the house last year alternates between my first and second favorite of the year
I agree with both Lucky Planet and Killer Klown. IP houses definitely are affected by your love of the material. For instance, last year, I went to Hollywood and loved Chucky: Ultimate Kill Count because Child's Play is so meaningful to me; I liked Strangers Things 4 and The Last of US less because those IPs are less special to me. That is totally subjective. But for sure some houses are objectively better than others - Exorcist: Believer was a strong house even though the movie was not good, and from what I hear, Chucky Orlando was very disappointing even to people predisposed to love it.Not necessarily, to use some anecdotal evidence Exorcist Believer was an absolutely atrocious movie but the house last year alternates between my first and second favorite of the year
Well, they already started setting up some truss rigging where Oddfellow was last year - so I'm assuming that will be for one of the new tents.
That was me! Love Chucky and have done since I first saw the ending of Childs Play 2 way too young, and that house was a mess. It really was one of the worst houses I’ve done by quite some way, and was left so disappointed by it. Agreed on Exorcist believer too - great house even if vast majority of it didn’t make the Final Cut of the movie, and as a result the movie felt very poor.Chucky Orlando was very disappointing even to people predisposed to love it.
I believe this is current spec:We figure out which will be at Minions, what at music plaza stage, etc yet?
Reading this in list form, it's kinda wild to think about how condensed houses are in general.I believe this is current spec:
- SS23A (Despicable Me) - Monstruos
- SS22 (Plaza) - A Quiet Place
- SS23B (Fallon) - Ghostbusters
- SS24A (NYPL Left Side) - Insidious
- SS24B (NYPL Right Side) - Triplets
- F&F - Major Sweets
- Sprung 3 (???) - Goblin's
- Sprung 4 (???) - Monsters
- Sprung 2 (MIB?) - Slaughter Sinema 2
- Sprung 1 (Coke?) - Museum
All the people? PLUS Chucky burgers? Oh the humanityUnless the people making decisions haven't been to HHN, there's just no way they can dump 4 houses + FFL theater into the same area. Those poor Amity/MIB bathrooms can't handle that capacity lol

I still question whether insidious and quiet place should be swapped. The house inside 24 doesn’t look like any of insidiousI believe this is current spec:
- SS23A (Despicable Me) - Monstruos
- SS22 (Plaza) - A Quiet Place
- SS23B (Fallon) - Ghostbusters

ghostbustersAny rumors of an announcement tomorrow? I remember tomorrow being speculated earlier this month but haven’t heard anything recently

I do agree having an affinity to the IP does help your enjoyment of the house, but it’s not the determining factor. Ultimately it’s the quality of the house and the experience you have going through that counts. Even the same house can be great one run through and poor the next.
Replying to this because it piqued my interest in seeing how the HHN IP houses that I've experienced stacked up as far as whether or not I enjoyed the film(s)/show(s)/etc. versus how much I enjoyed the haunted houses based on those IPs.I’d almost argue the IP itself doesn’t matter as much as the execution does - many examples of “lesser” IPs becoming fan favourites, and vice versa.
Personally I am afraid of no ghostsAre we busting Ghosts today or do we still have a while to wait…?

I think they were referring to the lighting truss work.As much as I would really like it to be Bill & Ted, that’s literally just the Fear Factor set.. View attachment 22382
