Halloween Horror Nights 28 General Discussion

[Viator]

Well we know that Stranger Things and Nightmare on Elm Street were already locked and designed... my guess is they also are working on Trick ‘r Treat, AHS, & IT; and that the “brilliant collaborator” might be Jason Blum due to the fact the Halloween script is most likely finalized by now

Halloween has already begun production.

Halloween has already begun production.

Didn’t know that; wonder who that special collaborator is

So an idea I had for an original house, as posted on HNN:

Don't know if this would be too "taboo," but I think a house aboard a plane could be scary--maybe it somehow drifts into some nightmarish alternate dimension, a la Twilight Zone? The very few times I've flown, it really felt like being in an alternate dimension.
-----------------------------------
So it sounds like the IPs are fairly set: AHS Cult, Blumhouse Halloween, NoES (unlikely but would love to see them continue the Sleepwell storyline), TrT, Stranger Things and It.

I assume we'll start getting whispers of what the originals will be around April? Seems like that was the case last year.

Judging off of last year I’m just gonna assume details about originals are gonna come out whenever Ifrit wants to give hints.

Originals are always the last to leak. Mostly because the IPs require more work on the front end to lock rights.

True; I’m excited to see how this year turns out since it seems like a really good IP lineup, comparable to 17, 19, & 26. I’m also really curious to see what original houses and scare zones they bring(here’s hoping for a Nightengales sequel)

Legit asking - is stranger things locked? Like 100% we are sure?

A few months ago someone who has inside info said ST and NoES were %100 locked; however it’s good not to keep your hopes up too high because *hopefully not* but remember what happened to Scream and The Conjuring

Fantastic. Can’t wait for October

On top of those properties it’s *not sure if speculated or locked* likely that Trick ‘r Treat and IT are coming to the event as well

Trick R treat was fantastic last year. Loved that zone

I didn’t go last year but everyone seemed to love it. If it comes I’m really curious about how they’re gonna translate it to a house since it’s an anthology movie

God it looks straight out of the movie set; doesn’t even look like a zone it looks so amazing

My wife and I watched the movie before going. Enjoyed that zone more than anything last year. Was ABSOLUTLEY stunning and well themed. Enjoyed the environment so much

I’d imagine that in the zone and possible House most of the scares would be driven by the zombie kids

For me it brought back good memories of Skoolhouse (my favorite zone of the four years I've gone--so not as good, but that's not saying much).

Things are locked. Things are lost. Horrah.

… I’m hoping by lost the only property you mean is The Conjuring?

Legacy seems to be generalizing. I wouldn’t read too much into his statement. Every year things are locked down, and every year things are lost; plenty of time for both to still happen.

Curious if we are getting a replacement for Bill and Ted, or if AoV will be the only show this year. I know last year they had an elaborate tie in to Festival of the Deadliest that was destroyed by Irma. It’d be interesting if they tried this concept again.
