Halloween Horror Nights 33 (UOR) - Speculation & Rumors

[TheCodeMan95]

I'm curious to see how the Vamp aspect will be integrated as well.

Like mentioned, I don't think it's really necessary to lump in the Blumhouse zone and Insidious. Insidious is a very popular and successful Horror franchise that exists on its own away from Blumhouse.

I'm actually excited for Dead Coconut. Hollywood was able to have FNAF props and stuff displayed, so there is no reason to think that Orlando, in a well lit, indoor, controlled environment couldn't possibly get them to display as well.

God, I really, really hope not.

What we've enjoyed with the Dead Coconut Club (and Revenge of the Dead Coconut Club) is it leans into the vibe of Golden age Hollywood mixed with vintage Tiki-chic and classic Halloween. Vamp, I can see working, but Blumhouse would clash severely with the American Sirens and their Halloween show.

And, incidentally, the Dead Coconut Club, if you haven't been, is the furthest thing from a well-lit, controlled environment.

The first thing I thought of was Tiki-chic/beachy vampires.

No idea how to save/send it, but new HHN commercial popped up on YouTube. "Evil Arch" at the end for a brief second, otherwise set in what looked like a haunted laundromat. Underwhelming to be honest. AQP the headliner IP.

Was it the AQP announcement video cut down or something bc I saw that. Or was it something new completely?

I meant well lit, indoor, controlled environment as opposed to a popup booth, outdoor display in the dark, or in a house where it has to be slathered in Vaseline so that idiots don't break stuff. I meant that the props would be relatively safe.

And while I understand what you're saying about the golden age stuff, they had aliens downstairs in the back part of the club. I wouldn't think that animatronic characters in that same area (again, where bartenders and others can see to make sure people don't hop over ropes and mess with them) would be too out of place. Animatronics have been in use for quite a while. Disney started using them in the 60's which is generally accepted as the tail end of the Golden Age in Hollywood.

Personally, I have no real love of FNAF. The movie was better than I expected (because I had zero expectations), but I've never even seen any of the videogames, let alone played them. But I still find it hard to believe that it won't somehow, someway, be incorporated into the event so was just making a hypothetical argument.

Definitely made in-house. Just the AQP logo, no footage. Of course hasn't come up since even tho it's the one ad I didn't skip.

And there you've hit on why I dislike this Vamp/Blumhouse rumor so much.

Yes, there were aliens downstairs last year, but it was integrated into the story for the "Revenge of the Dead Coconut Club (in 3D)". The Monsters had tried their hands at a cheesy '50s B-movie and were hosting a premiere party at the club. So all the golden age sci-fi and drive-in decor had a place and had a reason to be there. It was a cohesive experience.

So I'm not against animatronics per se....

I don't like the idea of plopping out a display of FNAF props for the same reason I don't like the rumored Vamp/Blumhouse split. There's no story line, it's basically saying "Hey, people really liked Vamp '55. Vamp '69, Vamp '85.....it's not in the park this year, let's put it in the Dead Coconut Club" and someone else saying "There's two floors....What if we do Blumhouse too?".
