Halloween Horror Nights 28 General Discussion

[happy bunny rabbit]

I don’t. I’m just saying if they’re still greenlit for Hollywood(not NoES) then I’d assume it applies here

didn't know these were confirmed greenlit for Hollywood, don't follow the spec. How do you know they were greenlit, though? Just rumored?

Finally got around to IT last night. Fantastic movie, a new classic for sure. I really hope it comes this year.

 

[Legacy]

What's the popularly assumed list right now?

Stranger Things (Confirmed)
IT
The Thing
Trick R Treat
Halloween
The Lost Boys

Then Nightmare on Elm Street, Conjuring, and Alien keep flittering about the edges?

Of those nine, I was told four that aren't happening.

It’s more spec and just general discussion over there. Plus Murdy did say nothing major has changed(i.e. IT)

doesn't that projector scene feel like it was practically designed for a huge animatronic scare? I loved it.

I’m just gonna guess NoES, Alien, Conjuring, and The Lost Boys. Although Alien and Conjuring definitely are always wanted

HHN 28 is going to be extra lit this year.

Don't trust Murdy. Really. He can say "nothing major changed," but his perspective is different than ours. EDIT - A "change" for him is after approvals/contracts.

Forgot that one. Still four though.

I thought of a lot of great scenes that could be recreated in the house. Lots and lots of potential.

True about Murdy but last year he was really clear about what happened with The Conjuring. Really curious to see what the 4 are but unless something major happens I’m still thinking Conjuring, NoES & Alien may not be happening

ok well AHS is not one of the four "definitely not happening" IPs

 

[Viator]

To say this, perhaps in some cases, we shouldn't look at both Orlando and Hollywood, and trying to determine what is coming?

ok well AHS is probably not confirmed to be not hapening, then

If I was Universal, there would be no way in hell that they let go a still popular and diverse Television series, regardless of what the rumored season has.

Of those 10 IPs, four of them not happening means that the other six could very easily happen.

Conjuring WAS a major change, because of how late it hit. Remember, Orlando was mid-construction when they lost the rights to use it. Contracts for the build would have, likely, already been signed in Hollywood. Any actually "changes" this year, so far, would have occurred before those things happened. If house lineup gets approved in January, but the proposed lineup was altered in November/December, did the lineup change? From our perspective, maybe. From Universal's? No.

Sorry that post was confusing, I was saying that AHS is not one of the four confirmed to be not coming, I imagine it is coming (don't have any inside info though).

So could others.

Curious, what is the harm in posting the houses that "aren't" happening? That seems like something that would actually calm expectations. I understand not spoiling the houses that ARE happening. Don't get why we can't know the ones that aren't.

To say this, even if I hadn't have info, AHS would be expected, as I would have to assume that they have to uphold the contract they set with Fox's FX network.

And to post my tip into the bin, nothing has made me worry of HHNs chances with AHS. What makes me wonder, is next year, once the Disney/Fox deal is complete.

It could disappoint people, I'd wager.

Forever holding out for the Evil Dead trilogyray:
