Alright rankings time, not gonna include tram but it’d be last, gonna go from least to most.
8. A Quiet Place: Not a big fan of the movies besides the third, don’t really think this translates that well to a live environment but more than happy to be proven wrong.
7. Texas Chainsaw Massacre: While I’m glad this is more of an original take on the franchise, its still another edition of a series I’ve seen multiple times before, it’ll probably be good but I'm not super excited.
6. Dead Exposure Death Valley: Very happy at more originals from Orlando coming over but considering that the original gimmick isn't also being brought over brings this down a bit, nothing else I’ve seen really intrigues me that much.
5. Weeknd Nightmare Trilogy: Enjoyed the first house quite a bit, excited to see what they do with it, feels like this should be higher but I’m just more interested in some of the other houses.
4. Ghostbusters Frozen Empire: Loved the first house, I expect this to be just as fun.
3. Universal Monsters Eternal Bloodlines: The monsters have only had one dud so far and this going in SS12 solidify bring up the hype levels a lot, very curious to see what they do.
2. Monstruos 2: The first house was excellent and Hollywood’s track record with these kinds of mazes is strong, be shocked if this isn't as least solid.
1. Insidious: The first 2 houses are the best houses Hollywood has ever done, the 2017 wasn’t as good but it was still great, if this can be in between the quality of both we’re in for a real treat.
Overall, the lineup this year doesn’t blow me away or anything, but I’m still fairly confident the event will be good.
