The facade is the gas station. And, in my mind, one of the better SS facades they’ve done.
Well, good to have a different facade than the first two TCM houses.

The only thing about SotL that I don't quite grok is the Lecter Pops they were selling in the Tribute store. They don't tend to sell stuff from non-Uni IPs that they're not working with. What was happening there?The facade is the gas station. And, in my mind, one of the better SS facades they’ve done.
It was rumored/spec that Universal was pursuing SotL, but they got denied early enough they could give TCM a full design. It’s not a “replacement.”
I've been to the actual gas station from the movie, and now I'm excited to see how closely it compares to the HHN version. But I am surprised to hear you say that it is one of the better facades. I'm trying to imagine what this could look like that would be visually impressive.The facade is the gas station. And, in my mind, one of the better SS facades they’ve done.
Different avenues, is my guess. Merch is told, “we’re trying to get SotL during planning,” so they contract the purchase of SotL Funkos (which likely require a long lead time for wholesale purchases). While that’s happening, rights for the house fall through.The only thing about SotL that I don't quite grok is the Lecter Pops they were selling in the Tribute store.

Sometimes, the visual authenticity of a simple location is the impressive part.

Isn't it pretty similar to House of 1000 Corpses, but with less neon and the giant skull?
They had a few months to replace Eilish.So does this rule out SotL for Shrek?
It can't be, because it's in a SS. That said, Ive heard good things.I hope they go all out with this house and that it's not a repeat of the 2016 one.
Maybe the title of this thread should be updated to include, “It’s in a soundstage this time.”
Not everyone looks at the spec map.Not sure why there's any confusion, it was clearly on the spec map.
Some more praise for TCM.
