Halloween Horror Nights 29 General Discussion

Seriously though, a Chucky vs. Annabelle house would be a riot.

Since Ghostbusters is at the event this year, let's make Judge Alvin the icon this year. The pieces fit.

Amazing that Universal has publicly leaked Ghostbusters twice now.

I don't know. I think that'd be nothing but trouble.

Man, it's not Hollywood's year for keeping things under wraps. XD

On the plus side, announcement must be super imminent if it's loaded into the app already.

Legacy commented on the Hollywood thread that they've been sitting on this for three weeks apparently, so we'll see.

Next week is 4th Of July, we'll see if that affects anything or this blunder makes them just shoot their shot.

What happened?

What happened?

Can't link it here due to the rules, but go to the #HHN29 on Twitter and you'll see that somebody (I believe Alicia on here actually?) found the Ghostbusters key art on Hollywood's website

Hey, at least a hotel didnt reveal 3 ips for this year, thankfully.

With over half the announcements left being IP's, I think we have more than enough time to get one more really dumb thing. So I wouldn't speak toooo soon on that one.

Man, preventing leaks must be a pain. Seems like no matter how big a corporation you are, you can't prevent things getting out.

In some cases, I feel sympathy for Uni. Here though, I feel like they kinda earned this one by sitting on it forever trying to hunt for the "perfect day".

Wouldn’t be shocked at all if Corpses gets leaked *again*. I’m actually surprised that one’s been relatively kept secret considering 3 From Hell’s marketing is starting to gear up

Legacy did state that the commercial concept had 4 IP's, so as far as I'm concerned, we're due for at least one more leak, since I can't think of the last time a top billing HHN IP actually made it to its' announce date without a dumb leak.

What I would love is for HHN30 to have more originals than IPs...it won't happen but a man can dream can't he?

Not sure if it’s worth spoiler tagging or not but I’d guess that the Big 4 would be

Spoiler: spoilers?

Demodog, Stay Puft, Red, Dracula/Frankenstein/Wolfman

Universal is kind of in a fortunate position in that leaks really don’t matter. It’s only the hardcore fan base (us) who keep up with this stuff in the off season. A lot of bigger companies have a lot more damaging leaks. Like you said every company experiences this, it’s really just a part of the business I guess.

Very true. I pondered to myself why the heck does Uni keeping doing things that seem to all but guarantee their announcements being leaked. Why does something like hotel ads coming out early even happen, etc. The reason is because only this minority knows and super (maybe) cares.

I still think it's a bad look, but eh.

Ghostbusters day already came and passed by, so no sympathy for the marketing team from me.

I really dislike how they backseat some IPs, the fact that there was no Sam or Ash Williams (heck, even Blumhouse characters) in past commercials seem like a missed opportunity to cath a bigger audience in a single Ad. Shame that the iconic klowns and the Fireflies will get the same treatment.

If I were to guess, they probably just wanna keep things focused in terms of the marketing. I guess five might be too much info but the "Big Three or Four (26 and this year apparently)" just click right.

But yeah, you would think for properties they know are more obscure, they'd at least want to mention them.
