The one that we all thought was “top secret” was never happening. It was a red herring being spread around.
Nope. Sorry for the misinformation.
Ima go out on a limb here and say we probably shouldn't get too hyped over something coming from an account that's less than a week old.
If you look above that post Ringwraith also agrees it’s not happeningNo offense, everyone is allowed to speculate but - your account is a week old. Other people with longer histories and track records disagree with you. Don't be surprised if you don't get the response you expect.
Take what this new account says with a grain of salt. It was created May 6th. Look at posting histories and join dates. If you are looking for realistic info look at the mods, Legacy, Ringwraith, Joe etc. Again, nothing is ever certain but people with proven track records and history > accounts created on May 6th.
Well said.
This is going to be a warning flare to all would-be leakers and those that have received leaked information:
As a general PSA for those that would like to see certain IP's come to the event. HHN is in actual jeopardy of losing one or more of the speculated IP's if information is leaked. If you want to see some of your favorite characters/sets/movies/shows come to life and you have certain info on some or all of them, please, for the community's sake, keep it to yourself.
It's at level: "F around and find out." And it may be the reason we can't have nice things.
Thank you.
It is never coming.
But that's not the one I'm talking about.
I quoted itShow me where she agrees that Stranger Things isn't happening.
So what your saying is….. it’s just like any other year, nothing is a guarantee until announced by universal.What if… now hear me out…
…Nothing has changed and the risks of losing an IP were always there?…
. Everyone reads into it to much and then when it doesn’t happen, everyone is quick to point blame against them.
When someone says “There was confusion about "rights" circulating the
Stranger Things discussion, which made people think the rights weren't secured. Because of that, some folks are still skittish about the threat of losing the
rights. The rights issue was specifically for a song that had to be separately negotiated. Those music rights weren't impacting the availability of Stranger
Things itself, which was (turns out) ALWAYS in the plan.”
I don’t think people are “reading into it too much” when they believe ST is secured and has always been in the plan after statements like that.
How can they be "out" if Universal hasn't stated they're "in?"darn so stranger things is out… just like that
Bc it’s just asking for a house in S4 so it has to be comingHow can they be "out" if Universal hasn't stated they're "in?"
Completely agree. Anything is possible until the day Universal makes announcements and it's all set set in stone. EVEN THEN I'll still take it with a grain of salt until I see it opening night. Flashbacks of Scream and the scrapped HHN 25 commercial and scrapped merch come to mind *shudders*. As someone who's followed the HHN speculation community since the untimely end of The Vault and the prime years of HNNightmares, I as well as many of the Veterans here have seen houses from Scream to The Conjuring, to the countless times they tried to have AWIL before 2013 and failed, to even last year with Hellblock Horror and a certain IP that required contacts that have been scrapped either with a few months or little to no time to spare. It can happen for many reasons, sometimes budget, sometimes disagreements with the rights holders, and in this context, major leaks within the community. And to those saying that quitting because of leaks does not make sense money-wise need to understand that good business is not just about profits, but also reliability and integrity. If a company sees that, after confiding TOP SECRET information with Universal, that it's "mysteriously" out on a spec map for the world to see, then that's just poor business in their eyes.How can they be "out" if Universal hasn't stated they're "in?"
Don't knock a week old account just for their age. Even though I'm a week old as well, I can confidently say that I know 75-80% of what's happening this year, given that no last minute changes happen (which they will. They always will.) I never cared for the IU forums for a second. I only came to IU after Nightmares' online forums became barren and sad unfortunately, and I wanted some speculative life to be breathed into me once more. I still love the community and I'm enjoying my time hereNo offense, everyone is allowed to speculate but - your account is a week old. Other people with longer histories and track records disagree with you. Don't be surprised if you don't get the response you expect.

What if your last statement is true and now they’re scrambling to replace an IP?Because it’s been shared by the board’s most credible insider that rights for both ST (which were secured a long time ago) and I believe master of puppets (secured more recently) were a go, and that the ST house was a go.
Thus, “in.”
If something fell through after the fact because of overly sensitive corporate personalities on either side, then it becomes “out.”
But it was clear from Legacy’s very direct post that rights for ST AND a difficult to acquire song related to ST were complete.
So yeah, it wasn’t announced yet, but unless they were securing rights just for fun or future considerations, it was “in” at that point.
I always love how most people treat credible sources like Legacy and the moderators' words like gospel. They have credible sources, yes, but there's one thing you always need to consider: speculation here solely relies on spoken word, and information is always volatile. Until I physically see it announced or at the event, then it's not happening. Also the speculation this year has been weird, and if it's been all but confirmed, and then you're hearing about a new IP all of sudden, then you have 2 possibilities: 1) You just heard bad info, or sadly but unsurprisingly, 2) it just got scrapped.But it was clear from Legacy’s very direct post that rights for ST AND a difficult to acquire song related to ST were complete.

Happens every year.What if your last statement is true and now they’re scrambling to replace an IP?
Things are never truly in until confirmed by universal
unfortunately it does for a variety of reasonsI always love how most people treat credible sources like Legacy and the moderators' words like gospel.
