Creepshow TV series ould fill the unofficial "synergy" house slot. And HHN has a long-standing relationship with AMC based on TWD.
Everyone is forgetting (or doesn't know) the Shudder angle...
There's no guarantee the movie is coming.

Yes, Nicotero has gotten King’s permission for the TV series, but that doesn’t fit Murdy’s tweet. King would be well aware of Nicotero’s previous working relationship with Universal.
If Creepshow comes in any form, we have to assume it is with King’s blessing.

Announcement schedules aren't always so black and white.In HHN Legacy’s Tophers Log video, he hinted at an announcement this week, so the Ifrit could be right
we thought we wouldn't get a shining house in 27 due to this reason.Honestly, it's time to shut down King-related speculation AGAIN. If King owns it, HHN is NOT getting it. That is the end of that song.
We didn't get KING'S Shining -- he doesn't own Kubrick's Shining, which is an entirely different property. My statement stands.we thought we wouldn't get a shining house in 27 due to this reason.

Funny how King is against HHN and well
made haunted houses yet allowed the Dark tower to be made.
He has been asked repeatedly over the years, and has refused repeatedly. I don't claim to speak for him - and he has refused to give a reason when asked point blank - but I would have to assume at this point that there us something about the medium of the haunt itself that he does not want his work associated with.As much as he seems to be against using his properties for these sorts of events, I am sure if someone went to him with an idea and explained it in such a way that really appealed to him he would give them the OK. Maybe that hasn't happened before, but did with Creepshow

As for the Dark Tower movie, by all accounts he enjoyed it.
Essentially, they weren't supposed to use his name in connection with the Shining house as it wasn't his Shining, and they didn't have the rights to do so. Someone used it in an advertising email anyway, and he rightly threatened legal action. I seem to recall it delayed the official announcement too.Wasn’t he allegedly real mad at Universal for initially using his name in conjunction with The Shining? Didn’t he threaten to sue?? I feel like I need a refresher on this too.
I’m worried it’s a similar situation as Scream, where the bridge has been totally burned.

I don't think it burned a bridge, more that there was no bridge to burn in the first place.
I'm going with classic monsters.So, assuming there is an announcement this week, what do you guys think it will be? House of 1000 Corpses? Killer Klowns?
He also hates Kubrick's Shining. Like despises it. So having his name associated with a house that used imagery based on that would have been insult upon injury
