“Universal Classic Monsters: Get Bent”
I'd welcome the idea of Female/Gender-Swapped Monsters since the rumor of another Dracula house didn't really excite me. We've had vamps in the first three UCM houses, so I'm good with more of a break from them.

I definitely think this would be more likely to feature the established cast of female characters from the Universal Monsters franchise, rather than gender-swaped versions of some of the monsters. As the Hollywood scarezone showed, there's already plenty of characters to work with.
I mean Victoria Frankenstein as an Epic Universe preview makes some sense.
Have you heard anything about this Legacy? I’m not sure if the house has changed because people were so sure about Dracula

The Gender Bender
The Gender Bender was a URFL fighter who was invented to lose to the more popular robot, Destructor. He was dressed in a pink tutu, wore a blonde wing, and carried a fairy wand. Gender Bender chose to fight back against the rules and fought Destructor, but lost when Destructor fell on him. He...

Doesn’t sound great to me. Sounds like they’re grasping. If you have to grasp just don’t use it for a year or two.
Anyone have feedback on the scream queens of the silver screen zone?

This is probably the more likely avenue (assuming the rumor is true). It’s not a terrible idea for a house. But, even if it’s not technically gender-bent monsters, it’s gender-bent monsters.

I'm still anticipating / hoping that gender-bent monsters is just a red-herring for Abigail. I can't base that off anything other than "I've got a really good feeling about it," but I'm pretty sure a lot of people have been anticipating Abigail's success for a while now- and it seems like a perfect storm of ingredients for an HHN appearance IMO.
I'll be back in a week to see how poorly this post has aged.

I get why it feels that way, but I think casting is the main hurdle against Abigail showing up.
Universal has a hard enough time casting 2 or 3 lookalikes for children. It’s why the Stranger Things houses relied on so many Eleven mannequins. Even Cindy, who has the benefit of heavy makeup, appeared only twice in her house because casting. (I also think it was a hurdle for M3GAN.)
An Abigail house, by virtue of Abigail being the antagonist, requires a whole lot of lookalikes for the entire duration of the run. Without Universal knowing the movie is already a success, I don’t see them risking it.

Eh I mean they made it work for Exorcist: Believer. So I don't see why they couldn't do Abigail

I don't know if Abigail is likely, but I think there's a very good chance that we could see an original take on Dracula's Daughter. Perhaps the reason Dracula was suspected is because the house takes place within his castle. I'm not convinced they're doing a literal gender-bent house, but I think utilizing Dracula's Daughter, Bride of Frankenstein, She-Wolf of London, and Anck-Su-Namun could be an interesting concept.

There’s two rumors right now for the Universal Classic Monsters. One is the gender bent monsters and the other is Dracula.
Maybe it was the brides of Dracula causing the confusion? Also there is the possibility that this is one house with multiple monsters.

I know most have been going far longer than I have but as far as the monsters go, I don’t get the hate for them repeating.
I buy several versions of a record that have pretty much the same songs, a few variations maybe. Or the record is a different pressed color. It’s something to enjoy having around and listen to from time to time.
I could understand frustration if the event was the same 10 houses every year. Monsters rotating every few years is fine in my view as long as the story changes. I think of them as b sides or alternate print if that analogy makes sense.

Based on the source of the rumor, it's a "female-centric" Universal Monsters house. Anything about it being gender-bent is just speculation going off of that. I was just suggesting that elements of both rumors could be true, a female-centric house that has connections to Dracula.

Didn’t that house feature two girls with progressively more prosthetics as the possession advanced? It also had demon scares.
Abigail, to our knowledge, has none of that flexibility.
