-The Flying Thing that Hector, Isadora, and Duncan jumped in at the end of book 7 may be returning.
-The letters at the end (there are 6 or 7 or maybe 8 in total) doesn't tell the tiltle of the 12th book. This is a first, because in all the other letters from the books, no matter how bad they were (*cough*The Hostile Hospital's letter about the Carnivorous Carnival*cough*) the title of the next book could still be readable. Not anymore.
-According to the ending picture, with the cap on the beach that says 'Hotel D' then it must take place at that freaky Hotel thing that begins with a D. When it left off, it was Tuesday morning. The 12th book, possibly the last, must go up to that Thursday or beyond.
That's all I could uncover.

(And the movie sounds awful... Jim Carrey's playing Olaf, and they're putting the first three books into the first movie... Plus, looking at the two trailers, it seems more like a comedy than a dark children's drama/horror)

The actual series is half-comedy anyway.

This one shows a bellboys hat that says hotel d. For some reason I remeber reading the name Hotel Demount or something. I will have to do some more research.

I don't think it'll be Horrible Hotel... H has already been used for his alleteration techniques (Hostile Hospital).
Oh, and in the Grim Grotto, I wonder why Klaus didn't use the Tidal Charts to see which way Quigley went down the Stricken Stream...
