The Old HHN 30 Speculation Thread (2020)

[Living Dead Dude]

It’s prob fair to point out I enjoy saw and Jason a little to much lmao

 

[ChaseTuff]

Also, I doubt it’s as simple as that. Plenty of close quarters house concepts that could be spun off again. Tomb Of The Ancients, Seeds, etc.

I don’t know what they’re putting in the space. Just that there’s a rumor it’s happening.

By “old school,” I’m referring to the execution, not the house concept itself.

So, no ST this year still, right? Please say this is right...

Nothing is confirmed until it’s confirmed.

Unless they do a StrTh house this year on season 4, which isn’t out for another year. I don’t see this happing.(they did have houses on IPs that were not out yet before) Why have merchandise for an IP they don’t have?

 

[Petercamie]

This is just a weird thought but what if they do an original house based off Stranger Things? For example, a house about the upside with an original story but not based off any particular season/episode.

Not happening.

Good. Then I don't see how a new ST house can be made this year.

Assuming Universal signed an initial three-year deal with Netflix, a “Story So Far” house with all three seasons isn’t a stretch. That’s assuming it was a three-year contract. They could also agree to a “pause” in the contract. We don’t know that for sure. They could have negotiated individual years, which allows them to skip a year with no difficulties. Even if there was a three year contract, Netflix could pull the contract with the argument either “season 2” house did not properly portray the property as stipulated.

They could also use another Netflix property.

That's an interesting point. I feel HHN could get ST fatigue if they do that and then we get a ST season 4 house. I hope Universal takes a break this year and does season 4 next year.

They could, depending on how the initial contract was worded. It would involve different creators, so either the original contract gets renegotiated or a new one is drawn up, regardless.

If ST does happen, I don't see it being THE headliner; sort of like how WD was "a" headliner, but not THE headliner its last two years.

If 11 houses happens, which is more likely: 6 IPs/5 originals or 5 IPs/6 originals?

I was just thinking that a “spinoff” house based in the Russia prison could be interesting if there had to be something ST this year.

Then why not just do Hellgate?

 

[AlteredWalters]

A bland ST contract requirement house is my literal worst nightmare for this years event

 

[JJ591]

I would guess 4 IP/6 originals with 1 hybrid like UM (versus house or something) that's partial IP (creature), partial original (story). So you could couch it as 4 IP/7 original or 5 IP/6 original in that instance. I do think something from the UM universe in some respect is coming though.

But IP!!!!!!!

That ST season 4 teaser kind of came out of nowhere, and blew up a huge question from the third season...and we’re still probably a year out from the season premiere. Who knows what kind of content they may have by September to “promote” season four.

I know the team was able to see all of season three well in advance to plan the house sooo....
