Halloween Horror Nights 2025 (USH) - Speculation & Rumors

[downunder]

I think the key is that Art the Clown is pretty much a horror icon now, with a very distinctive look that is quite marketable. I agree the violence is more on the sadistic side than some of the other slashers, there's genuine expressed relish in the commission of violent acts - which is effective - and makes it more disturbing. I think HHN will pull it off, it will be really violent like TCM, but maybe they won't split someone in two from an upside-down position, or maybe they will...

I’m sorry but to call Art a horror icon is laughable

Of the modern age? Yes he is. You can laugh at it all you want but it's true.

He absolutely isn’t and to think Terrifer is anything outside of niche still is fooling yourself. All three films were never released nationally at a wide scale, and by some loose definition, could still be considered indie.

Whatever you say.

I’d argue in the terms of a modern slasher that has a larger audience gauge is M3GAN, and she has more of a right to show up next year because of 2.0 than Art does.

This is going to be a long spec season...

It’s July 2025. The full HHN lineup has yet to be revealed. Speculation continues to run rampant. This thread has hit page 137…

“I’d like this thing I personally like to come to HHN.”

“You’re an idiot.”

“No u”

“Unh-unh!”

“Yes HUH!”

That's the crazy thing. I never even said I was against M3GAN coming next year (in fact I said I do want it for HHN 34) and for some reason it was brought up in a completely unrelated discussion lol.

Terrifier 3 made more money than House of a thousand corpses and it’s still considered an iconic horror movie. I consider both movies to be niche but there’s no argument to how popular Terrifier has become this year. It completely makes sense for it to come this year. But for those unexcited, at least you’ll never have to hear “bring Terrifier to HHN” again.

 

[Jake S]

I think two things can be true at once: terrifier is clearly more popular than it has ever been and it has a long way to go before art the clown is near as popular or recognizable as Freddy, Jason, leather face or Chucky. that's no insult (and frankly, who cares unless you're getting residuals).

Not to mention, I’d argue that if Art were to come to HHN, whether it be in 2025 or 2035 or 2045, the fact that Universal would see value in bringing him/the IP to the event would mean that they believe he’s broken through enough to be an icon. Whether he’s there yet or not is obviously (and rightfully) up for debate from person to person, but the moment Universal ever decides to bring him should theoretically be when the debate on if he’s “made it” can be settled.
