Horror Nights Wish List - Orlando

[Lucky Planet]

Bringing the conversation over here, and of course let's keep it civil.

I genuinely think FNaF is a perfect fit at the event, and the 'middle schooler' argument doesn't hold much weight. As I stated previously, most of the core audience that grew up with FNaF are now young adults or about to be, just as with Stranger Things.

Not to mention, FNaF's story is genuinely rather disturbing when you really stop and think about it, and should never really be considered kid-friendly IMO (it's literally about a serial killer who targets children). Plus the game that just released, Into the Pit, gets surprisingly bloody and mature, and the next mainline game, Secret of the Mimic, is looking to go back to the franchise's roots and dive more into being a dreadful psychological horror.

TL;DR- I think FNaF would be perfect at HHN. Just please don't put it in F&F.f

five nights at Freddy's is one of my biggest wishes for hhn. I truly beg the stars for a Freddy's house or zone
because it will be just like killer clowns. in the sense of big costumes. I love the Freddy's robots a lot. I love them. I need to see them at hhn. lol. I'm a huge fan of creatures like that. big puppets. big costumes. like the bunny in silent hill.

I don't think anyone is suggesting it's unworthy of being included, just that it's mainly targeted at a much younger audience.

I've seen other people argue online that it shouldn't be at the event for that reason, which is why I brought that up.

And genuinely I think if they had the house focus on certain elements of the franchise, you might see less arguing about it being targeted at younger audiences. The first game is still genuinely scary, and Into the Pit (the game that just released) has a rather disturbing depiction of the kids being murdered, and it's already confirmed to be getting a sequel, so we'll definitely be seeing more of the games dipping into being more adult.

I mean, sure - but that doesn't change the demographics. An R-rating is 17, after all - and the demo isn't that far removed from that target. (Of course, the film was PG-13 for more than just BO reasons, too.)

So I watched this for the 200th time since childhood this week. I love this film and it would make a perfect HHN house... View attachment 22332

I need to watch it, but I've seen a picture of the house in House. It's like 30 minutes from where I live. I've driven by it all the time.

Can’t imagine the target audience for Five Nights at Freddy’s and the new Ghostbusters movie are that far apart in age, though.

1)FNAF is still considered entry level horror for tweens, a demographic Universal just doesn't seem interested in attracting to HHN (hence no Clocks in Walls, Goosebumps, etc). In addition to not really lining up with what the HHN GP wants, HHN isn't what the FNAF fans want either. I think that's fine.

2) Scott is a massive piece of poop bigot and I don't think Universal should be getting in bed with ANOTHER garbage person.

C'mon now...

Ghostbusters has 40 years of history, and the first 2 films are more "adult-leaning".

And again, I'm not saying because it's more tween-skewed that it shouldn't come. Just merely pointing out that it is.

1) I respectfully disagree on the point of HHN GP not wanting to see it, considering how many times in spec season we saw people expecting it and/or disappointed in it not coming.

2) Now this we can fully agree on. Doesn't help that as we literally saw with this year, he's also just really hard to work with.

I hear you, but I don’t think the online reaction is all that representative of the broader HHN audience.

Yeah we'll probably never see eye to eye on #1 and that's ok.

five nights at Freddy's is more horror than Billie eilish or the weeknd ( and yes, weeknd music videos have "horror" elements, but they are closer to a Quentin Tarantino movie than anything else) yeah Weeknd has some creepy imagery but it's not a horror artist.

but five nights at Freddy's is an actually legitimate horror game. it IS a proper horror property.

That's not close to the discussion... at all.

I will point out that I fully believe Universal would do a Five Nights at Freddy's house if it were possible. Read into that what you will.
