Halloween Horror Nights 29 General Discussion

In that case, why didn't they announce GOT as the second IP to have it locked? Universal Monsters was announced right when the show was at its peak.

So, i never seen GOT. I get theres white walkers and wolves they can do, but what else? Are there any scenes they can do?

I don’t understand why leaks for a house is this big of a deal! If anything people are gonna be more hyped for your event!

Big dragon puppets, soldiers and.... pretty much it? Don't think that a house would done justice to the scale of the show.

I agree but it still would have been incredible to simply have a GoT house...

So... That release schedule I mentioned?

The 3rd IP was supposed to get announced May 21st.

That was two days after the finale.

That's when you announce. It would've extended the discussion about the show.

Since it’s not happening now do you have any idea what the house was gonna be based on? Like the best of all the seasons or just the battle of winterfell?

I don't know what specifically was pitched. Just that it was heavily pursued.

Did something end up replacing the house?

Does this really need to be explained?

HBO was probably more concerned that uni would somehow leak the ending more so that the house was going to happen

 

[Clive]

Guys, I don't think HBO was concerned about the ending. There was no chance in hell they were going to tell Universal the ending if they could help it, and it's doubtful a maze would have included it in any tangible way.

But HBO is protective of its brand and has become extremely sensitive to leaks given how much of it has happened during the Thrones tenure. If Ghostbusters was getting so nakedly leaked, I wouldn't blame them for having second thoughts.

They leaked the ending themselves a long time ago. It was on reddit early on.

Do you think that the backlash on the last series has anything to do with them pulling the house? I don’t watch it, but it’s hard to miss the complaints about how bad the last series was. To me, it makes business sense for them to wait a year or two, and then create a ‘best of’ house from there. No doubt it would have been an extremely popular house though

This would’ve been a decision before the finale, so no.

In that case Walking Dead should stoped returning as a house after the third time.

Man just logged on and got caught up. This really sucks.

Even if you’re not a GOT fan how can this be good for anyone who loves HHN?

I’m no insider but having a reputation where you can’t be trusted to protect an IP can’t be good. I hope this doesn’t have any kind of serious impact on negotiations for HHN 30.

This also would have got my wife to the event with me. So disappointed. Have a good weekend everyone.

 

[horrornights789]

Didn’t even of think of this. They’re likely gonna end up going after propertied they can reuse but imagine if they went after BIG properties for the anniversary year.

Another thing that sucks about this is it cuts out another “HUGE” IP on the level of Stranger Things, Walking Dead, Conjuring, It, etc.

@Legacy Should I stop dreaming about a West World house ?
