And so begins the announcements for the zones, fittingly starting with this year's entrance zone.
For me it sounds akin to 28's The Harvest which was plenty fine, and in all honesty considering how last year's zone barely even counted as one, there's a lot of opportunity for this one to be an improvement.
I don't put too much on the shoulders of an entry zone, since the purpose of them at this point is a nice little welcome to the event, potentially showing the theme of the year and giving a little taste of what's inside. A decaying conservatory with tributes to the houses this year plus crows and gargoyles lurking about can absolutely fit the bill here, so I do hope we get a nice bit of theming here.
Also, the zone possibly getting back into Plaza of the Stars/Illumination Ave can certainly help as the past two years have been rather tiny. Wasn't too bad with Oddfellow as he had his caravan off to the side with his constant presence, but last year didn't and boy did that show in the worst of ways.
