Basing the house partially on his as-yet unreleased new album is certainly a fun twist.

Maybe this means the album or perhaps a few singles are due to drop before the event opens?

I am really really hoping this doesn’t become the de-facto repeat house of the year.

The Nightmare is almost over aka contract lol
Let’s get this over with. Make it gory and go hard on the jumpscares.

Posting two variants of the logo for posterity.

The Weeknd: After Hours Nightmare was to me--the perfect IP house for me. Sure it wasn't scary; but what it lacked in intensity, the quality of the experience--the scale and scope and the vibe and experience I had was damn near magical. It is my favorite IP house for a bevy of reasons, and is probably the reason why I am really, really, really excited to see what Murdy and the Hollywood team does.

Mike Dean and The Weeknd being credited directly for new music is also freaking fantastic; as there's a track in the new horrifying tale that I'm really hopeful is in this house.

Well I wish there was nothing repeated from from After Hours, but the extra element of “trilogy” is intriguing to me. Not that I knew exactly what I’d see in Dawn FM either but this added element gives an added bit of “what’s gonna haaaappppeeeeeen?” Either could help it or hinder it from being focused. I’m being extra critical because I HATED the last maze and don’t see this going any better but I remain optimistic and open minded until I experience it lol

For what it's worth, the art department has spent most of the year working on this maze, it's going to be way better than I think a lot people are expecting.

I knew nothing about The Weeknd before his association with HHN, and was not able to see the prior house live, but I did watch the music videos for After Hours and Dawn FM this week to try to get more up to speed. FWIW, I sort of viewed the plot of After Hours as this Faustian debauchery/excess situation, whereas Dawn FM is a more introspective engagement with past demons and mistakes (including those shown in After Hours). If they do it well, I think having parts of After Hours would make the Dawn FM content more meaningful. Or it could be jumbled and unfocused, lol.

Hey, it’s the actor from that HBO show The Idol.

True legends know how good it is to have Mike Dean marketed like a true one.

 

[rageofthegods]

Isn't that the guy from Uncut Gems

Seconded. Very high expectations for this one.

 

[DTH]

I think the sets for the first one were actually top notch. I just didn’t think they were scary to be in and were repetitive from a narrative standpoint. I expect more of the same, especially seeing that the nurses were back.

This has me even more hyped!

 

[HHN Maddux]

This is not the end, Hollywood spec thread, we will meet again. The Lantern shall tremble, the Icons will cry, the battle will be legendary. Until we meet again.

All joking aside, happy for y'all to be getting this house, sounding like it's gonna be something truly special.

 

[snayberry]

This house about to be lit.

 

[Wigglepebbles]

Cmon Hollywood, is this because we got the ghost with the most that time?
Maybe we can both have him if the sequel is a hit next year
Either way, Dawn FM is a great album. Gasoline fits perfect for a haunted maze

Does anyone know where this maze is located? Assuming WD Venue?
If that's the case, I think this maze could really shine with the controlled environment of that venue. Sets tend to have superior lighting and top notch set design in that venue.
