Halloween Horror Nights 33 (UOR) - Speculation & Rumors

[Casper Gutman]

It's gonna be mostly Purge with the Butcher from Freaky, Babyface from Happy Death Day, and the Grabber from The Black Phone. If we're lucky, we'll get Baghuul and maybe some Insidious demons. I'd be surprised if they try to send M3GAN or the Exorcist Believer girls out there with how female-presenting popular horror characters tend to get treated. (If M3GAN's there, and I assume she will be in some capacity, she'll either be locked to a stage or participate in a dance troupe.)

Yup - Universal killed the Believer franchise and is trying to save the Exorcist IP. We won’t be seeing any mention of that big ol’ bomb again.

Honestly, I look forward to the Hollywood zone as much as any house (I spend a lot more time there, after all). It’s hard to imagine a more disappointing theme for the area.

I'm the weird one that ALWAYS does NY S&S. It's just part of the experience for us. (and honestly, it's really never as bad as people say or think lol)

Also, I'm gonna be the one to say it - anyone think FNAF could pop up in Blumzone?

I'm really hoping for some FNAF representation in the Blumzone, it's still insane to me that Universal and Cawthon fumbled so hard by not doing a house this year

It’s too bad Abigail wasn’t Blumhouse. I’d love to see Abigail and M3GAN duke it out in the zone lol

 

[Kichkinet85]

We’ve done the Purge enough. It’s utterly boring.

As a house it is very boring but as a zone it’s quit the opposite IMO

I don’t think they would ever let MM just be a scare zone and Im housed out with him for awhile. Movie’ed out too.

I still would love to see him but you’re right, I don’t see him ever in a zone. Unless he’s part of something like All Nite Die in from 2015. Otherwise it will all pretty much be Myers SA and maybe a few victim SA.

It really doesn’t make any sense. The only positive is that at least if they save it for the next movie they’ll have over twice the characters to use, including Mangle and the Puppet

Am I the only one who watched Totally Killer?

Seeing a bunch of these guys running around BlumZone would make me giddy like a schoolgirl lol. Underrated slasher that I hope gets some representation so it gains more exposure!

For the signature haunted mazes, Six Flags has teamed with creatives behind the “Saw” movies, the “Conjuring” films, “Stranger Things,” “Trick ‘r Treat,” “Army of the Dead,” “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” and creepy comic book “DCeased.”

Sorry if slightly off-topic, but wow this is interesting

Obviously the quality of the HHN mazes will blow these out of the water but it's wild that Six Flags of all parks managed to bag an IP lineup that's 1000 times more interesting than the one we're getting this year.

I'm honestly surprised that it took them this long.

Not a great indication of access to Warner IP's for the foreseeable future.

 

[TheCodeMan95]

That's wild. I live about 2 hours from Great Adventure.

Hm..

I'd take a closer look at the wording of that statement. They said they're working with the "creatives behind" those properties. Not getting all the properties themselves.

Hm..

same, if they get ST, trick r treat, and conjuring. I’ll be there for my first ever FF. That IP lineup is to good to pass up and being 2 hours away this will be so kind to my wallet lol

This feels like HHN. Where an article gets leaked before the official announcement and they scramble to release the promo video

 

[HHNObsession]

???

Lol they kind of threw a punch at Universal…”This Fall at Six Flags, something EPIC is coming!”

With that said it’s wild that WB let Six Flags have the Conjuring and not Universal. I guess there is some kind of behind the scenes drama with that?

 

[Clive]

???

I stand corrected!

...we'll see how this goes...

(Mods, maybe this discussion needs to be moved?)

Didn't they try this before in Hollywood a couple years ago? Or did I make up a Joker maze in my head?

Not a huge issue this year, but if it grows legs, another national competitor (especially if they expand to other locations) and ties up WB IPs. And if it does real well, can look for a non-6 Flags partner down here, e.g. Gaylord or the old Nick hotel.

 

[TheCodeMan95]

This inspired me to watch a POV of the Saw X maze from Six Flags last year.

It's uh.. very apparent that, even though they can get the license, it doesn't mean the house will look as great as an HHN house lol

They already had access to Conjuring last year as well. Not sure if this has a huge impact on accessibility to WB IPs given presence of some of those at HHN recently but what do I know. Wild to think any of these IP holders ever had quality control concerns with HHN houses given the walkthroughs of the Conjuring from last year.

I also just visited Six Flags Magic Mountain for the first time, and the facade for Saw was a large printed facade stuck on a building. And was out in the open along a guest pathway (either still up 8 months later or up out in the open in prep for this year before an official announcement) with no attempt at concealing.

P.S. again sorry mods if off topic - I do think interesting to spec if this impacts IP accessibility at all.

I think this is the most relevant thing in regards to spec for HHN - it can't be the fear of quality control that's preventing WB IPs for coming to the event lol
