Halloween Horror Nights 28 General Discussion

[shiekra38]

I dont think the lineup sucks persay. It’s just not all that exciting

I do hope they continue to mix old and new IPs and the event avoids becoming an advertisement for Universal latest horror movies

 

[Robert Bliss]

So, if things are announced, do we expect that to happen at the traditional Thu 11am?

Yes.

 

[Robert Bliss]

Yes.

So tomorrow IS going to be a long day. heh heh
Thanks

I’m curious to see what it’ll be. Whatever it will be it’ll mean we’ll finally know what Zero is

 

[kingmantis]

Just a last minute guess before tomorrow, and sorry if someone already said this, but what if it’s Walking Dead Exposure? It’s a heck of a long shot, but it fits some of the hints:

- Return of TWD to the event would definitely cause a freak out
- It’s unprecented in that while there’s been IP/original hybrids before, there’s never been a sequel to an original house that was retrofitted into an IP
- Lines up with Ifrit’s clues of a Dead Exposure return, but also explains why they would be announcing an original in April
- Technically a shared IP, but it’s an Orlando exclusive announcement since it’s already a permanent attraction in Hollywood
- Lines up with Legacy’s Rick and Morty cannibalism gif and the Parks and Recs gif when someone brought up TWD
- Could line up with the Zero codename, either patient zero, or like using Uncle for TWD2016, it’s a tongue-in-check reference to how there’s zero interest in working with this property again
- Lines up with rumors that the IPs may not be anywhere near as exciting as originally thought​

Of course, biggest strike against TWD is it’s been done to death and gone for a year already. I have no idea why you would bring it back when ratings are on the decline and you have the rights to more popular shows.

Zero... degrees? As in freezing?

As in Antarctic temperature maybe?

 

[JungleSkip]

TWD isn't coming back. I'll put that out there to ease everyone.

I thought Zero was supposed to be an original? I could see Thing getting announced next week though since HW is supposed to get an early May announcement and Thing is probably gonna be shared

 

[JungleSkip]

Thing is probably gonna be shared

Is it?:look:

 

[Alicia]

Yea I don't know what Zero means, but wanted to shift discussion to The Thing, since that's my guess for tomorrow's announcement. :tease:

 

[horrornights789]

Is it?:look:

Well... moreso hope it is. I could see Hollywood getting it since they’ve only had it once; not sure why Orlando wouldn’t do it though

 

[Robert Bliss]

Zero is very likely an original. I am hoping it is being announced early to make the megafans (we're likely the only ones keeping up with this right now) heads explode. If it is not just a house reveal, but an overall theme reveal, it is going to be very awesome. Crossing my fingers for something Legions of Horror related.
More than anything I just hope there is an actual reveal tomorrow.

I wouldn't hold out much hope for The Thing and that pains me to say, as it is one of my favorite films.

 

[JawsVictim]

Thank Satan it’s not WD!

Crossing my fingers it’s The Thing OR an announcement Eddie’s the icon with his own house and zone.

 

[Viator]

Throwing my guess for tomorrow, marketing will kick off more with the announcement of Zero being connected to the events theme (AND THAT ISN'T MEANING ICON).

 

[horrornights789]

So if Zero is Dead Exposure would they set it in an older time since that’s the speculated theme? Also I’d wonder if they’d put it in a tent again or in a SS

 

[Viator]

Yea I don't know what Zero means, but wanted to shift discussion to The Thing, since that's my guess for tomorrow's announcement. :tease:

If it's Thing, I would expect a tease from social media, as when I got the rumor of that, it was shared.

Now? I'm not too sure, to be frank.

Ik it’s the wrong thread but is it still greenlit for HW?

 

[shiekra38]

Zero always makes me think of the origins of something, or someone

Perhaps we are getting a prequel house of some kind

 

[Legacy]

Throwing my guess for tomorrow, marketing will kick off more with the announcement of Zero being connected to the events theme (AND THAT ISN'T MEANING ICON).

I'm starting to think they've essentially announced the theme already. I can't confirm icon or anything, but they've mentioned "the past" and everything I've had confirmed for so far has not so strained connection to things in the past.
