Halloween Horror Nights 33 (UOR) - Speculation & Rumors

[HHN Maddux]

Not a last-minute house, just not part of the original planning stages.

It still got full construction and house-prep, so we should be good. I believe Graveyard Games was a similar situation (not in original planning stages, but still got full treatment in prep season).

I don’t think I saw this asked exactly but with FNAF, was it issues with trying to get the suits to work and look good or another Scream issue where the rights holder pulled out?

I don't think anyone's necessarily at liberty to say, but I've said several times that series creator Scott Cawthorn has a reputation for not being the easiest to work with.

Alright - I guess since everything has been formally announced, it's time for the annual Q&A of trying to offer some insight and clarity to the Spec Year that was.

Ask away!

Any reason the SZ were wrong on the spec. Map or was that just bad spec.?

I do know Blumhouse wasn't always planned, and Demon Queens wasn't in Hollywood.

The other 3 were planned for a while. Read into that as you'd like.

The second the release picture came out and it was all characters they already had costumes for previous houses, it certainly smelled like a replacement to me.

I mean, it's pretty well-known which one it was. haha

They tried for another one but it was too little, too late. It never really got off the ground to even consider it part of the 33 plans.

And no - it was not a Weeknd house.

Would the latter have resulted in a thumbs up from fans?

So Demon Queens was in SF? Was Demon Queens always planned and the location just changed?

Who knows anymore... I would've been good with it!

Now that I don't know specifically, but I can't answer any more than I did originally.

Speaking of Scream I'm surprised HHN never went the DBD route and make an original Ghostface house with the fun world license.

Surely normies couldn't tell the difference and with Ghostface being such an icon I can't imagine it wouldn't play better than any of the licenses they picked this year.

my favorite time of year!!!! LOL

- Has there been any rumblings for theming of the tribute store, that you may or may not be able to hint at?
- With all the cost cutting measures that universal has been implementing, is there any concerns for various HHN impacts such as detailing/ actors/ house lengths?
- With the reduction of certain tickets and increase in prices, and this new premium scream night. In your opinion, do you see universal trying to focus more on customer quality vs throughput?

Purge is notably missing from the art and description of Orlando’s Blumhouse zone. Will the IP be included in the event? Was it ever going to be?

Yes, there are Purge decorations visible in the zone right now.

Was there ever going to be an icon house or is what we got with Sinist3r and Surr3al all that was planned?

The Purge is in the description on the website.

Just to clarify re: Purge --

Don't expect guns
They may not use the political Purgers (i.e. characters with Founding Fathers/USA iconography)

Thanks! Odd that it was omitted from the tweet announcement, which is otherwise very similar.

Any word on Bughuul?
