    Halloween Horror Nights 2024 (USH) - Speculation & Rumors

    I honestly expect there to be fragments of truth in the rumors, but I don't really buy the whole. I was illustrating to my boyfriend a few weeks back how speculation maps tend to change over time and how much they get right in like April, vs how much the get right in like May or June,. Obviously...

    Halloween Horror Nights 2024 (USH) - Speculation & Rumors

    I kinda have two mentalities about this, on one hand, it kinda makes no sense. There's no Insidious 6 coming any time soon, or ever really, since 5 was supposed to be the last of the series, so it feels like they kinda missed the boat, and on top of that we've already seen a maze for 1 and 2...

    Halloween Horror Nights 2024 (USH) - Speculation & Rumors

    Been thinking about Murdy's posts in regards to his most recent final pitch. Might be kinda a stretch but it being an IP Original and Murdy being really excited pitching it, gives me the vibe he could've been pitching a Universal Monsters house? He's always sort of considered them to be in that...

    Halloween Horror Nights 2024 (USH) - Speculation & Rumors

    Honestly looking at the speculated lineup it's what I'm most on board for, But me and my group are Larry Larva's strongest soldiers so we probably don't represent most people.

    Halloween Horror Nights 2024 (USH) - Speculation & Rumors

    It's absolutely valid that in most cases theres a rumor from one place or another that we can easily slot in for the symbols, but I think it's pretty easy to forget how niche these forums really are in the grand scheme, even if a rumor originates here, if someone isn't checking in a couple times...

    Halloween Horror Nights 2024 (USH) - Speculation & Rumors

    I'm just gonna keep deluding myself that the fanged skull has a chance of being Eggers' Nosferatu despite all odds :innocent:

    Knott's Berry Farm

    Obviously probably too early to say since they're only just now restarting construction and we haven't seen the station or queue or anything touched, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say May-ish 2025 opening sounds reasonable since they're getting straight to restarting construction? Could see...

    Halloween Horror Nights 2024 (USH) - Speculation & Rumors

    I think I saw a post recently of Murdy pretty definitively shooting down the possibility of NOES, but I could be wrong.

    Halloween Horror Nights 2024 (USH) - Speculation & Rumors

    Didn't they explicitly use A Quiet Place as an example of a property that would be like, near impossible to recreate during the Midsummer Scream 2018 panel? lol I know a lot has changed since then technologically but like, most of the issues they brought up still stand. It's not really possible...

    Universal Great Britain

    I've actually been thinking about this, as purely coincidentally I was just talking to a friend about how odd it was that Doctor Who has no theme park space despite existing for so long. If you *wanted* to do a full land, I'd say the best way you could do justice to the promise of a time travel...

    Halloween Horror Nights 2024 Clue Cheatsheet (USH)

    He did state under that post that the high concept was the main theme or idea of any house, and that all houses they make have intensive research. Not trying to make it a debate or anything, just don't want us all barking up the wrong trees as far as speculation goes, since High Concepts are a...

    Halloween Horror Nights 2024 Clue Cheatsheet (USH)

    I dont wanna rain on any parades but I think when he says "the high concept" it less means the IP itself is high concept, and more that they settled on the overall tone and story they want to tell within the house, like the high concept you'd see on a published study or something that succinctly...

    The Last of Us (HHN 2023)

    Really wish they'd bring those back, watching the 2009 behind the screams videos ripped in 240p on youtube is how I discovered the event in the first place.

    Universal Monsters: Unmasked (HHN 2023)

    https://x.com/john_murdy/status/1726341510025904296?s=20 Gonna be honest, Silent Screams is a better name especially considering how little invisible man was actually in there in practice. Kinda assumed this was always the intended name but I guess it was kinda a no brainer given it was the...

    Halloween Horror Nights 2024 (USH) - Speculation & Rumors

    Honestly I think it's strange that people are even framing it that way. I think it definitely means we're likely to see more licensed WB content at Six Flags parks, which we already have, but like, as far as CF parks getting IP, I can't think of many instances of it happening outside of Knotts...

    Halloween Horror Nights 2024 (USH) - Speculation & Rumors

    Wrote this a few weeks back, so it's a little old for the purposes of entirely up to date accuracy, but this is a list I put together of things that logically make sense to be at the event next year and an overly detailed explanation for why I think they have a shot; -Five Nights at Freddy’s...

    Halloween Horror Nights 2023 (USH) - News & Info

    I mean maybe it'll have another chance if they actually respectfully draw upon actual specific folklore and not just White guy in basically yellowface prosthetic makeup and generic chinese dragon monster.

    Halloween Horror Nights 2023 (USH) - News & Info

    Perhaps off topic, but has anyone ever taken the time to compile what mazes have won house of the year, and cross referenced to see if those concepts get a sequel the next year? I doubt it always happens, but I remember it was a factor in Halloween 2 in 2016, Universal Monsters continuing until...

    Knott's Scary Farm 2024

    Also, not necessarily a guest perspective thing, but something that was on my mind. Heard from a lot of my monster friends that knotts completely overhauled the way scheduling works, ditching an A/B 1 hour on 1 hour off cast system in favor of giving them set 30-45 minute breaks at certain...

    Knott's Scary Farm 2024

    The big one that sticks out to me, and possibly the only one within my time, was Dead of Winter, which only lasted 2015-2016 before being replaced with Dark Ride. For other questionably recieved mazes, 3 years is pretty standard, like Lost Vegas or Red Barn. Bloodlines' reception from fans...
