Giving "super fans" content early is a pretty normal marketing strategy. Makes them feel special, keeps them involved, and gets additional media sources posting about your content.
I guess, lol. I would understand if it was something bigger but the video isn't really much at all. Hopefully we get some sort of announcement next weekGiving "super fans" content early is a pretty normal marketing strategy.

It's doing what a tease should do. Get people aware that they should be looking out for news soon. Draws more eyes to the real announcement. It's why most musicians, movies, etc. do "announcements for the real announcements" now, as annoying as it may be (and it is lol).I guess, lol.

If I had to bet money on it, probably a new one. Which is REALLY exciting imo. I need a whole generation of new Icons so we can have a civil war type event for HHN 40: Oddfellow V Jack.Defiantly an Icon this year. The question now is it a returning one or a new one.
Nothing. He's chainsaw guy. But thats what makes him cool. He's a contrast to the more bombastic icons. Thats the reason he "killed" Jack in his original concept - to make him a threat he had to pull the trope of killing the "big bad" to establish himself.What is interesting or unique about Eddie?
Agree and disagree. People think he's neat, but it's based entirely around what he could be, not what he is. I think a lot of people have attachment to the character because hes so generic they looked into the backstory to even figure out what his deal was and thought he was kinda cool. Reading about him was a lot like finding out about some cool obscure character in one of those guidebooks you'd find at a Scholastic Book Fair.Better to start from the ground up and craft a new “evil house designer” character rather then try to use Eddie

It definitely does feel like something but so did the video from last year, and nothing came from that.Definitely feels like they're doubling/tripling down on this. Had it just been the door picture I could've written it off as just the HHN Twitter account being HHN Twitter, but this feels like a coordinated push. I'd be legitimately surprised if we didn't get something substantial by the end of this.
Fear seems like an icon who only shows up every 10-15 years, his whole thing is that he’s the culmination of HHN. He’s like the Thanos of the event, I agree that he probably won’t return for a fair whileI would not be mad about this.
All joking aside, I think we're definitely going in the right direction in regards to it being connected to the Lantern, but I highly doubt it's Fear returning.
That being said, the asylum-looking door and the rock concert vibes from the shirt really are starting to shift my mind from hopefulness to genuinely thinking that we might finally see Eddie in the spotlight.
He wasn’tNone of these these teasers have meant anything to me for a few years now. Dr. Oddfellow wasn't in any sort of actual advertising last year, was he?
I would absolutely love to see him again! I didn’t go to HHN till 2013 so I didn’t see his OG year. I did however see him in 30, I even got a fist bump from him on the last night.Adding to the topics of HHN Icons would anyone mind seeing the Usher again? He was one of my favorite HHN Orlando Icons. I feel like he deserved a year where he had more of a presence.
Edit: sorry read that wrongHe wasn’t

Not exactly corrupting the whole park but every SZ was part of his story.Did Oddfellow corrupt the entire park ... I mean he was everywhere last year lol
