Any guesses as to when they’re gonna finally announce this Ozzy house?

No idea about a specific date, but Orlando houses are usually fully announced by the end of July, so I have to imagine it’d be this week, especially if Hollywood has the merch already.

Backrooms is an open concept. It doesn't have to be on the Kane Parson's or A24 IP. With all the Levels and entities that are apart of the lore, the concept to me is ripe for interoperation. I think taking on an idea like that could translate to a house and they could really get creative.

I would expect it this week. We haven’t gotten the teaser for tomorrow so probably not tomorrow.

Stranger Things didn't get one, so it could always just not get one.

Sorry for the double post. This is true, but if we treat the film's success as a reason they'd do a house adapting it, why would it not be the movie? When they finally did FNAF, it was the movie, not the game. I believe we only got TLOU as the game and not the show due to rights issues, and even then, it only happened because of the show. Every time it comes up, people say "it wouldn't have to be the movie, there's a bunch of lore to pull from," but if they're not going to pull from the highly successful movie, why not just do an original based around the same concept?

I wonder if this is a USH/UOR co announcement at Midsummer Scream?

I may be mistaken, but isn’t it just USH and Murdy at Midsummer? If so, I’m guessing any announcement there will be one of the Hollywood remaining exclusives. I just don’t see Orlando waiting till that close to our event start to announce their last major IP, especially one as big as Ozzy. The fact that Hollywood already has the merch ready to go tells me that an announcement is likely imminent this week.

If I had to guess, I'd say Murdy's going to announce the house in Parisian Courtyard at Midsummer. I doubt they'd use the opportunity to announce Killer Klowns...Again. Or they might announce the Terror Tram (Or both Parisian and the Tram if they want to be really nice xD)

I would *want* it to be an original. More creative freedom that way without having to adapt the Kane’s work. I do think it is possible to adapt his work into a good house. The physical concept of the Backrooms leads to creative boo-hole potential. The uncanny design of the rooms creates a really unsettling atmosphere and I think there are enough characters to scare guests.

I would prefer a Backrooms original though. The name alone would sort of backdoor as an IP house in the mind of the public. You may even be able to partner with Kane himself and not involve A24. I feel that it’s really worth a try even if they strike out in execution.

"The Backrooms" as a concept are basically antithetical to the design style and typical experience of an HHN haunt attraction, for all the reasons Brian has already said. Isolation, the endlessly looping and ever-changing nature of the architecture, the fear of an unknown and mostly unseen creature potentially being around any wall.

"Backrooms", the 2026 movie, would be tricky to adapt, but I don't think it is totally impossible. It would lose a lot of the initial eerie concept / vibes, and likely have to fit into the more traditional HHN "book report"-y tropes and structure.

I think IP like A Quiet Place, with its' wildly large monsters and reliance on silence; or Black Phone, taking place almost entirely in a singular dark room, are decent comparisons. I didn't think AQP would ever happen for a number of reasons, but I was wrong and they did it anyways. I still wasn't huge on the AQP house in execution, because the limitations I was worried about were genuine issues with the house (overuse of stiff monster puppets, a sound "mechanic" with no bite). But I conversely thought the Black Phone house was deeply clever in how it portrayed the claustrophobic themes and aesthetics of the film.

I don't personally believe the idea would make for a very good house, and similar to AQP / Black Phone, it would take a lot of bending and work-arounds to portray in the format. But, I've seen weirder and far more niche IP included at the event over the years. The Backrooms film was reasonably successful, and it does have a very specific look and vibe to it.

Outside of really specific cases like Obsession, Hereditary, and a few others, I'm mostly done counting IP totally out of the HHN picture. I am not personally looking for it to happen, but if the HHN team wants it, they'll be able to find some way. For better, or for worse haha.

for me personally, in my opinion, a few rooms from houses like The Shining and Poltergeist already felt like the backrooms. just moments of those houses, or the hallway of mirrors that was used for Freddy vs Jason felt like part of the backrooms.
even a few moments of the Poe house in 2011 remind me of it now.
I'm sure that if I keep thinking about it, there will be more rooms or elements of other houses that feel similar to the backrooms.
the backrooms are a very abstract concept with many different rooms and different elements and parts that are dark.
it could definitely be adapted because the back rooms are not just one thing, it is many things, many rooms many shapes, many furniture.

universal could even CREATE their own hhn version of backrooms because they are so abstract, there could be our OWN hhn version of them.
use the IP and start where the movie is and develop new rooms
