Last week we talked about the first HHN house in this years 2015 lineup, An American Werewolf in London, and since that post there has been a little bit of controversy surrounding the legitimacy of the leaked HHN house lineup. According to a few people "in the know" Universal intentionally leaked a false house lineup and all the houses that have been leaked are not actually happening. A few others in the know say that is not true and that the leaked lineup is 100% Accurate. And a few say the leaked lineup is a mix of false houses and accurate houses. It would make a little sense for it to be false because some houses, such as the return of American Werewolf in London, seem questionable. However, my personal opinion is that Universal is just embarrassed the houses leaked so early and is trying to save face by making it seem like false info and I believe the lineup is more or less accurate. So today we continue to house Number Two
The Walking Dead
This will be the 4th year for the Walking Dead at Halloween Horror Nights and many people are sick of it. There are two groups of people that go to HHN. There are the first group like me, who talk about HHN year round, count down the days, and go 10+ nights a year when it comes around. That group HATES the Walking Dead at HHN. Group two is the group that doesnt even give a passing thought to HHN until October rolls around, goes for one night, then doesnt give a passing thought about it until the next year. Group two LOVES Walking Dead at HHN. The Walking Dead is a show I enjoy, alot. Its a great show, but it is not a show that lends itself well to a haunted house. It's not a "horror" show, its a drama, and trying to make it a haunted house has failed 3 straight years, so why would a 4th be any better? One thing is for sure though, group two will flock to this house like bees to honey, it will draw 3+ hours long lines every night, the big suits who only care about money will deem it a success no matter how much the house sucks, and Walking Dead will return in 2015 for a 5th year, the cycle repeats again. The Walking Dead is going to be in the parade building this year behind ET, which will allow them to use the ET queue line for the house on super busy nights. The parade building house has the most potential space for a line so it makes sense to put the house that will draw the longest lines there.
Next week we will talk about house number three.
