Halloween Horror Nights 2022 (USH) - Speculation & Rumors

[DTH]

La Llorona is in my top 5 all time favorite mazes, so I will gladly welcome it back. A lot of my friends are newbies to the event, so I'm hoping this one can deliver as good as it used to. If it can, this may be the dark horse of the event to be maze of the year.

There's not going to be any room for that epic river scene so it would be nice to replace it with something unique or different.

Murdy did say that is a scene he wouldn't have done if he had kids at that time. So makes sense he felt it was an easy cut for this iteration. Great scene though, I hope it's represented in some way.

Easily the most remembered scene in my head when I think about that maze. Whenever I tell that to anyone who missed it they are shocked.

I wouldn't be shocked if the lake scene is cut, but I do hope they include it. Really wouldn't be shocked if it was, especially given Murdy now having kids.

I think that's why I am completely on board, because of how this will be for a lot of people, a completely new maze. And I'm all here for it.

I’d be really excited for La Llorona to come back as someone has never visited the 2012/13 maze. I remember seeing those videos at a young age and being TERRIFIED by the audio narration at the beginning. Years later, and now I’m ready to experience what it was like back in 2013 now that I’m an adult and no longer a scared kid lol.

Gonna be really tough to fit that lake scene into that space, so I imagine that'll be part of the excuse for cutting it. Here's hoping they can implement some new ideas.

Not gonna' lie, La Llorona is easily one of the top mazes I wish I could've experienced in person. The maze looked like it had such an immense sense of dread, and it kept building and building to an unforgettable finale. And this was just from watching videos for me, I can only imagine what it was like in person!

I'll have to agree with others, I can understand if they don't do a lake scene...but man, that looked seriously haunting. Either way, if this maze can still capture the dread the original pulled off, it's gonna' be good!

Either way, this is one of those properties which is making me seriously want to drop by when I'm down in Cali in September.

They had a water feature in the Shrek queue?

I honestly don't believe they'll cut the Lake Scene. If going by that logic of sensitivity then there's a lot of the maze that would have to be cut (Underground Crypt having Decaying Girls, Decomposing Children in the House Set, etc).

Why is everyone assuming he broke some NDA or exposing the event? I am sure it's only a hand full of us that know what he referencing and that won't stop any bug release to his FAN BASE.

I addressed this in the Orlando thread, but NDAs and contracts are serious and can have financial penalties built in.

Those two tweets he's done have done more for the event than months of announcements. You mean finding out they're gonna sell tickets for this year's HHN doesn't do it for you?

It's not something you want to lackadaisically do, even if you do have star power, as word will get around in the entertainment industry and it will hurt you.

In this new construction update, it looks a bit like the first house is similar to the Blumhouse logo... Wondering if it has anything to do with that???

Well after seeing that trailer, I’d be very surprised if Stranger Things doesn’t happen next year.

Maybe Orlando but I don’t think it’d come here

I dont think Stranger Things is ever coming back to Hollywood

Why not? It seemed fairly successful in garnering huge lines every night and overall eyes on the event. It also seemed to start a nice partnership with Netflix.

Maybe this had to do with it...

 

[queenmetroid]

Yeah, I was going to say that Universal Studios Hollywood has an unfortunate record of angering numerous rightholders of various intellectual properties...

 

[HydraGen2299]

I don’t know if I should say this but I visited the Netflix headquarters once and they had this huge lawn chair with the HHN 28 art and it was signed by Mike and orlando people….there wasn’t anything of the sort involving Hollywood’s. Also the way murdy talked about stranger things 2 in his retrospective made it sound like it wasn’t really his favorite thing in the world that’s the only evidence I really have for there being a thing between Hollywood and Netflix and things others have hinted at but I personally don’t know anything about it.
