Halloween Horror Nights 2024 (USH) - Speculation & Rumors

[Lucky Planet]

I'm actually not at all surprised Orlando isn't getting it -- it was not a good house, and I don't think the GP cared for it either.

Ours was a HOTY contender, and the artist helped with a lot of the creative, which obviously set it apart from Orlando. I agree though, it should be among the best of the year once again.

i was expecting a Weeknd scarezone for orlando

My sense is the licensing fee wouldn’t be worth only getting a scare zone. And if they didn’t or couldn’t do a house, that’s why Orlando ended up Weekndless.

Still wondering why they passed on the house. My feelings on the house notwithstanding, if it was generally well-received, you’d think it’d be a no-brainer.

Yeah, I also think this is perplexing to be clear.

It seems to be genuinely one of the most perplexing calls I've seen UDX ever really make; especially given it could've been a major deal with the Album getting it's kickoff event seemingly on that weekend.

Sad thing is, it doesn't really make sense for Orlando to pick it up next year even too--as by the time HHN occurs next year; The Weeknd name should be history.

Also, shouldn't we open a Tips and Tricks Planning Thread? Questions like these would be perfect there. I made one a few weeks back but it got deleted.

That thread will come when all the details and offerings of the event are announced. Typically, it’ll be opened by Brian or one of us moderators . It’ll be here soon.

Exactly this, same with AHS Coven for me!!

Beetlejuice is the one I’m bitter about…..sounds like that’s never happening out here…we might’ve missed that boat on that one and that makes me sad cause I genuinely think Murdy and the team could’ve killed it

Must've been a casualty of last week's upgrade hiccup. We can set one up now.

I wonder what's taking HHN so long to announce the last show?

I wonder what's taking HHN so long to announce the last show?

The usual suspects. Approvals from IP stakeholders regarding naming, copy, key art, and content, most likely. In a less-great scenario, they're still working out what the show actually is, which in turn delays finalization of the aforementioned elements.

 

[Wesker69]

Or there is the unfortunate possibility that we aren't getting another show in DreamWorks

They also still haven't made a fuss about Dark Arts & DeathEaters returning for HHN... but..


And this

 

[Clive]

Something is planned for Dreamworks, it's just changed in concept a few times, from my understanding.

I thought I made this clear, but unless something has shifted recently, no Death Eaters this year.

I must've missed that memo lame. Sadness

It's such a good addition to the event. But yea, a teammember mentioned on Sunday that the next nighttime show would be the holiday version (same with Frog Choir).

Do you know if they will still be shining the creepy effects on the Hogwarts castle? I've always thought that is one of the coolest things.

I would assume they will still turn on the atmospheric lighting and effects.

The Weeknd is seemingly the main HHN house being promoted on the Lankershim sign for Hollywood.
