The Old HHN 30 Speculation Thread (2020)

[PlatinumFate]

Seems like a perfect fit with Shrek. I thought they wanted to put the lighter houses at the front?

That’s what I’m thinking. Beetlejuice feels like too big a movie for the tents with the amount of stuff that will have to be happening in it, but I feel it could work in Shrek if not a SoundStage. Also maybe in the Parade Building? Idk if we count that as a SS or not though.

I really hate this location stuff... it means nothing other than what A&D feels fit their design needs the most. Besides that, they’ve done great work in each location so... it’s not indicative of quality.

One reason Shrek would work so well for Beetlejuice is that office room you walk through beforehand. It could easily be dressed up as a waiting room. With only mannequins of course for obvious reasons.

Even if it's shrek that doesn't necessarily mean the inferno room wont show up in the house, its not that huge of a facade.
Though I always imagined orlando doing something like poltergeist for BJ, with the facade being a miniature of the Maitlands house, starting the maze in Beetlejuice's graveyard. Wouldn't be chronologically accurate to the movie, but it seems doable.

Honestly I loved klowns last year in shrek and I think beetlejuice will fit well in that spot!

What house is going To be where ghostbusters was last year?

I thought we left the "tent houses are worse than soundstage houses" discussion in 2007

What house is going To be where ghostbusters was last year?

Nothing.

I think it’s notable to point out that with the Klowns exception, Shrek is typically given to one of the less A&D favored IP’s. And Klowns was only an exception since there wasn’t a “unfavorable” (just using that as a base word) IP last year to them (Us not counting due to its late nature).

I can’t help but think A&D would want to use Beetlejuice in a larger manner (settings wise) than what the Shrek queue would give. I remember Legacy stating that there was campaigning for Ghostbusters to win HOTY, and based on the fact Beetlejuice is happening, I don’t think the Ghostbusters reception affects their view on using these “pseudo-horror” (May not be the right word) properties especially if there’s love for them in the room.

Tents have long not been the “dump” locations but that just feels off to me. So...one of the Parade Warehouses?

What house is going To be where ghostbusters was last year?

That location is out of commission as of this year so as Legacy said, nothing.

EDIT TO MY ABOVE ARGUMENT: Krampus as well and I think my argument still applies since TWD’s setting that year wouldn’t have worked in Shrek. Still a matter of space and design after all.

for the houses this year it looks like Hollywood is going to have candayman. Do you think we’ll get it if they have it?

I think one or MAYBE even two pseudo horror properties a year is okay. But three is pushing. GB would’ve probably been better received had ST and Klownz not both been there as well. Same point @Returning-The-Reaction made about Beetlejuice being easier to get excited for WITHOUT Gremlins. And vice versa.

My dude, you seem really behind on the rumors. Candyman hasn’t been a thing in forever.

Now I really wanna know where billie is going if she’s not shrek or MIB!?!

I don’t think her not being Shrek was confirmed. The latter was.

 

[Ringwraith]

Ok I’m gonna try this again
SS- Bride, beetlejuice, bedtime, icons
ST- TCM, Pumpkin king
MIB-Dungeon
PW- Hill house, Earthquake
Shrek- Billie

Getting closer...still not exactly accurate with house label, but locations are better.

It’s going to be in Shrek then, right? I’d assume they’d have it very similar in size to Killer Klowns, so that makes sense to me.

Nope. That would also kill any option they'd have to shrink you down(if they're going to), as it's difficult to change scale in there.

Aiello loved the Halloween franchise and they put a house in Shrek.

Dude.

Nobody said she wasn't.


There are many locations this year, that you wouldn't think houses would go. Some are head scratching and some are perfect.

*M A N I A C A L L A U G H
I joke

Beetlejuice is not a soundstage house.

* wail of the damned (2nd one this week, first was figuring out TC wasn't getting her own house.)

 

[SirAustin77]

Am I the only one who could see Billie in 23A with the queue in the music plaza? Maybe that and Hill House could be in 23 so the mega-popular IPs are at the front.

 

[Luigi18512]

So have we dropped the idea of Terra Cruentus getting its own house? Maybe it has something to do with "Earthquake", since the land revolves around the blood in its soil. Or, maybe it could be a scarezone? Sorry if this has been answered already, i'm a little behind on the speculation.

 

[OhHaiInternet95]

Alright, if space is an issue with Shrek, then so are the tents. Therefore I conclude Beetlejuice will be in one of the parade buildings.
