I would be shocked if there is no house related to Grimm. Especially since it got renewed. That show reaks of oppurtunities for a haunted house.

So excited about Silent Hills being announced. I am a massive fan of the video games but I wasn't such a fan of the movie (great movie but not really true to the games per se same way I felt about Resident Evil).
Can anyone help me understand the ticketing to HHN? I want to go to the one in Orlando but I saw online it is an 86 dollar ticket. I saw something about a 30 dollar ticket but it sounded like you needed to add it to an already purchased ticket. 86 dollars seems pretty steep for an event if you can't spend all day in the parks and especially if the season pass for HHN was something like 100.

They have the stay and scream option to add to your regular park ticket... You get to stay in the park and start the houses earlier than arriving guests...

So I should set more aside for this than I would for the hard ticket events at Disney? I just want to go to HHN and not be in the park early so 86 seemed kinda steep. Also when HHN is going on are the rides closed and such? Never been that's why I have so many questions.

The rides were open last year... Jaws wasn't that I can remember, but I assumed that was because there was a house there... I know I rode Simpsons at night... RRRR was also open... To be honest, I didn't pay much attention to the attractions... I was too busy seeking out the scare zones and walking through the houses...
I purchased the Stay and Scream option last year, on top of the price for my regular ticket... I bought three day, one park a day tickets, not the two parks one day ticket... So my base ticket price lower than the one day ticket since I purchased multi-day, so the extra 30 bucks was not much of a hit in the pocket...
If you think about it, the costs between MNSSHP and HHN aren't much different... MNSSHP is a separate admission price on top of the one day ticket with no "stay" option... The HHN ticket alone may be a tad more expensive than MNSSHP, but if you buy a ticket into Universal and the stay and scream option, it may actually wind up cheaper than all day at MK, then MNSSHP at night (two separate admission tickets).. And if you buy more than one days worth of Universal tickets, then the extra 30 bucks really isn't that bad of an added cost...

JAWS was in fact open last year. The typical rides that are in rotation for HHN nights are: Rockit, Mummy, JAWS (RIP), MIB, Simpsons. Everything else is closed. This year, Despicable Me is expected to be open as it's new and will pick up the capacity lost from JAWS.
For what it's worth, Silent Hill has been confirmed for the Orlando event as one of the haunted houses. There's a lot of other rumors, developments & concerns swirling around, but that'd take a long time to type out to catch everyone up.

Current rumors: 7 houses -- Silent Hill, The Walking Dead, Penn & Teller, Alice Cooper, a 19th century (literal) haunted house, something having to do with gargoyles, and a classic monsters house.
Possibly only 1 set scare zone this year, with "roaming hordes" elsewhere.
Penn & Teller are supposedly the icons as of now.
Consider yourselves caught up.

Jaws was??? Ok... Like I said, I didn't really pay attention to the rides... I only went on Simpsons because I didn't ride it during the day... Was too focused on the scare zones and houses...
Yeah, Jaws was almost always walk-on, but maintained relatively steady attendance.
Penn & Teller as the icons (or in any capacity at HHN)? The last I checked, tickets were available for their shows in Las Vegas throughout the month of October. I would prefer an icon that has live presence at HHN.

What I was trying to say is I don't want to pay for all day. I'll be working at Disney World and wanted to go just when HHN had started and not be in the park all day. So the 86 dollar ticket seemed like a lot for a half day or less at the park. I would be going on either a Wednesday or Thursday. I mean I'll still go but I just felt like maybe I was reading the pricing wrong.

That leaves out a lot of the finer details, including (but not limited to) significant Walking Dead legal issues, the classic monster house's supposed "Dead Exposure" influences, the lack of an elaborate backstory-laden website this year, Comcast's potential influence in how the event is running (with practices such as IP sharing), the uncertainty of where the houses are actually located (and how many there will be...), the possibility of the classic monsters house being cut entirely, the auditions sheet suggesting 8 zones but making no distinction between hoards and more traditional zones...
Phew. There is a lot. But I guess I caught you guys up on some of it, right?
BTW, if you're curious about the whole involvement with Comcast, this article might help.
The house count and locations are currently set in stone... unless someone gets bulldozer happy again. The IP sharing and website takeover are coming from Hollywood. Apparently Marketing hadn't meddled with the event enough in the past. This year's website will probably be considerably poorer than what we're used to, but with all of these IPs, there's not much of a story to tell anyway.

Supposedly not. No one knows whether we're getting six houses, seven houses, or even potentially eight. Apparently a "surprise" permit has yet to surface. The Soundstage 33 permit has not appeared yet.
The IPs were managed quite well with 07 and 09's sites/overarching plots. They can - they just won't (fund it).
Fingers crossed that we see another totally useless iPhone app 
Some know better than others. The current plan is 7. They've decided on using the parade building instead of 33.
EDIT: Expect another announcement tomorrow
