here's what i think should be done for next year at HHN30/31 (in my opinion) 1: bring back all the past icons and make "Fear" the central icon of the event. -Jack -Eddie -Chance -Cindy -Caretaker -Director -Storyteller -Terra Queen -Usher -Beetlejuice -Universal Classic Monsters 2: 5 retro scare zones -Midway of the Bizarre -Fright Yard -Treaks & Foons -Scary Carey -Mel's Die In 3: 5 new scarezones -original scarezone -original scarezone 2 -IP scarezone -30 years tribute scarezone -icons scarezone 3: 5 Retro houses -Hell's High -The People Under The Stairs -Psychoscarapy -Body Collectors -Run 4: 5 new houses -Beetlejuice -Universal Classic Monsters -IP house -30 years Tribute house -Icon house 5: 5 shows -Lagoon show -show at animal actors stage -show at fear factor stage -Festival of the Dead parade -Robosaurus

The houses in lady luck era are all connected to her, and each houses are about her victims making wrong decisions challenging their "luck". And also i think the reason why she is not that talked about in the HHN community is because of the event and how they poorly promote her. her mask is so tacky and look cheap compared to fear which is so realistic. And the fact that they only give her a little scarezone that year called "you run out of luck" like.. come on, lady luck has many potential. But they wasted it like what they did to Bloody Mary

God I love Halloween and horror. I'm not normally big on these more interactive haunts, but I want to go just because of how much I've come to love Jack the Clown just through your videos. That dude deserves a movie franchise of his own purely because of how hard the actor goes to bring the character to life.

I would love to see that

I have a few theories on why he didn't make a lasting impression. 1. Every original Icon before him was the corruption of something generally positive. Jack was a corrupted clown, the Caretaker was a corrupted doctor/, the Storyteller was a corrupted elderly lady, Director = corrupted Director, the list goes on. Fear is... nothing. Sure, he has a fairly intimidating appearance, but there's little in reality to reference him with. The fact that we have reference for what the others were makes them scarier. Fear doesn't have this. 2. All bark, no bite. As you mentioned it, Fear never got to prove how good he was at inspiring... fear. For someone who the other icons apparently can't compare to in terms of his terrifying presence, we never really got to see him do much. We know what each of the icons will do; Jack toys with his victims a bit before using blade weapons, the Caretaker will dissect his victims, Director kills in a cinematic fashion, the Usher won't do the deed himself, instead, he'll get some movie monsters to do it for him. I don't know about you, but I don't quite know what Fear will do. He can apparently manipulate flames and possess others, but that isn't enough. How does he slay his victims? They say there's fear in the unknown, which is true. However, it is easier to imagine ourselves in a horrifying situation when we clearly see what our aggressor does to another.

Still waiting on that video about The Usher! ;P I'm so glad we're getting HHN videos again! These, and your videos on European theme parks (Efteling, Tibidabo) are my personal favorites when you cover them! I hope you end up covering some Asian theme parks (aside from the obvious Disney and Universal ones, although I would love to see your videos on those too) soon! If you're taking requests for more HHN icons, I would love to see you cover some of the other forgotten/secondary ones like Nightmare from HHN 12, The Terra Queen from HHN 15, Eddie Schmidt and Cindy Caine-- even though they are well-know, they're not up there in popularity like The Caretaker, Jack, The Storyteller, The Director, or The Usher. I'd also love to see a video on Chance because I'm curious to know if there's more to the story of how her character came about and was developed beyond basically being Harley Quinn. Especially since her and Jack's relationship doesn't seem to be as toxic/abusive as the original Joker and Harley (Jack at least appears to like Harley and isn't abusive to her as Joker is with Harley). I don't know if you could dedicate an entire video to The Patient from HHN 13, but maybe you could do a video on why the HHN team chose not to have an official icon that year and why they went with the mental asylum theme they did that year? My worry is that certain icons won't get covered since their backstories aren't really fleshed out, and all the information that's available on them has already been discussed in your HHN retrospective, and there's not a whole lot you can add to them.

The only thing to Fear is... I feel like I'm forgetting something

So, my thoughts on HHN my first year was with The Caretaker and my second was The Director.... I absolutely loved these two years and that everything was tied together into one story line for the entire event. The other thing i really liked was the year they used both parks, that being said... I would love to see them do a retrospective year that uses both parks, BUT set it up as One park looks back (houses and scare zones from previous years) and one park is all original laying the ground work for the next several years... eg: the start to new additional icons to get their own themed years over the next few years...

I think Fear is type of character who is not without compassion. My fan theory is he revoked his plans and creations for last year, putting them on a halt with a handful of exceptions. He may felt all the crazy stuff that happened last year like the ongoing pandemic, the destructive riots, and political impacts were too dark, considering all that happened in our own worlds and doesn’t want to deal with them. He should come back, but I do want the character to appear with a newer look as a reference to how much the event grew and evolved with the addition of Lady Luck to represent fate as his newest heralded. Not sure how it would work for Chance though, since she still makes me think of Chaos, which is what Jack represents and still have it as a badge of honor.

You can make a video about Lake Shawnee, it is an abandoned amusement park in West Virginia it was built in a indian burial ground where a massacre took place some time ago, two children died while the park was open and human remains have been found. It is considered the most haunted amusement park in the world
