Halloween Horror Nights 35 Code Names

The HHN35 house codenames are out, and you know what that means! Reckless speculation, wild IP guesses, and probably connecting dots that were never meant to be connected.
From balloons and buses we’re breaking down each codename and guessing what they could mean for Halloween Horror Nights 35. Are these clever misdirects? Obvious clues? Or just Universal laughing at us? We’re throwing out our theories, calling our shots, and setting ourselves up to be either geniuses or completely wrong by August.

Way Too Early HHN35 Predictions

It’s that time of year again… our WAAAAAY too early Halloween Horror Nights predictions are back!
And yes, we hear you: “It’s barely December, what the hell?” But around here, it’s never too early to start theorizing.
Last year we threw out some wild guesses; Jason, FNAF, even Hatchet and Chains and somehow nailed a few along the way.
Can we pull off another Hail Mary this season? We won’t know until August, but the speculation starts right now!
