Hey, maybe we do end up getting that 4/6 split.
Would be a good off year if you’re HHN fatigued.I'm gonna be real here....I understand these are all rumors and nothing is set in stone until it's announced, but the IPs this year sound extremely underwhelming. Would love to be pleasantly surprised with some long-requested IPs, but NoES was legitimately the only IP I was actually excited for this year. Ghostbusters as well, but that's a bit more recent and not quite as fresh as a standalone NoES house.
Eh....my excitement is plateaued right now.

It does seem awfully early to be getting TCS again. But it is the 40th anniversary this year. So, who knows?Seems like a lot of people over on some of the discords think if ANOES isn’t happening it’ll be TCM instead. I really hope that’s not the case cause assuming GB and Insidious are happening that would mean three repeats this year, or even four if the rumors the monsters house is Bride vs Drac’s Brides again are true.
Honestly, I think it's easy to dismiss and forget the originals at this point in speculation. The initial rumor is so often detached from the details of what we ultimately get, such as the heavy lean on the occult aspect of Blood Moon, Spirits of the Coven being billed as just a "witch original," and SoX being referred to as an "alien original." These were each TRUE, but they were only about half of the premise. The rumored originals right now (if true) may be only half of the ultimate premise. Sorry if I am making no sense lolMy favorite houses are ALWAYS the originals. I couldn’t care less what IPs are featured anyway.
What if…the repeat IPs are the solution to the overcrowding of HHN? Just have the IPs be properties everyone is tired of so fewer people come to the event? LolWhile the originals are always the best house and I’m sure the houses will be as amazing as always this year, the IP rumors are so…lame. It’s one thing to repeat a ICONIC IP’s like ghostbusters, Halloween, AWIL, heck even Texas. But when rumors go around where basically the whole IP line up is repeats it’s just a bit worrying on what it could mean for the future of the event.
I think some people take for granted that a lot of people who attend the event aren’t locals. People spend thousands to come to this event with hotels, airfare, and the tickets.While the originals are always the best house and I’m sure the houses will be as amazing as always this year, the IP rumors are so…lame.

You can't blame people for not being happy about these rumors, lol. I know they're just rumors, but this is all we have to go off of with no official announcements and none of them have been that great for awhile
