Halloween Horror Nights 2023 (USH) - Speculation & Rumors

[HydraGen2299]

We got a clue! And not only is it exclusive, but it's an Original!

Oh boy a Hollywood original. I really hope they figure out how to crack these clues quick

Updating: Legacy on the HNN discord seems to suggest that this clue is no longer valid.

I can respect that, though IMO Saw mazes just seem kinda conceptually flawed to me as they've been doing them.
Personally if they're ever gonna do it again, I really hope they focus more on the scenic aspects and effects to make it feel more claustrophobic and more like you yourself are in the trap, rather that coming off more as a passive observer to everything happening. 2017 almost hit that feeling near the end with the buzzsaws coming out of the walls, but otherwise it really was just walking next to the action rather than feeling like part of it.

Feels like there might be logistical challenges with Saw too. You kind of have to devote a significant portion of your actors to filling out the traps in a Saw maze, since those are the star of the show. Leaves you with fewer actors to actually do the scares.

I don’t have a lot of info this year (yet), but I’m not entirely convinced Saw is coming.

Not sure if anyone is interested but there’s a pretty cool scream walk through going on in Santa Monica this weekend and next weekend.

It's very short and pretty low quality tbh, I wouldn't recommend driving across town for it honestly. There's only one haunted house-esque room and it's a worse version of the halloween hhn house finale with only one scareactor.

They need to let Universal just do Scream whether that be with the fees or the original.

Gives the same vibes as the two IT experiences back when those were coming out. Doesn't look fantastic, but I guess it makes sense financially though, giving a probably relatively small budget to a much smaller design team that isnt gonna take a significant cut is easier than negotiating rights with another huge corporation thats gonna get a cut and promotion from your IP.

I think im finally on the Scream is never happening train guys. That and the Conjuring will always be the greatest houses that never were.

Unfortunately it's really seeming that way. Somewhere out in the multiverse theres a year with Scream, Conjuring, Hellraser, H2018, Beetlejuice and The Thing sharing an event, but that reality is one I doubt we'll ever see even in part.

Was Bettlejuice supposed to be where Exorcist was in 2021? I'm still salty about Orlando getting it and not us.

I don't think it was ever like solidly confirmed by insiders but the assumption I heard was Exorcist replaced Eilish and Pandora replaced Beetle.

2021 IMO weakest line up in the history of Hollywood, only year I've skipped since I started going.

I think that's a year that gets a deserved mulligan.

Still bummed about missing out on a Eilish maze..

Eilish seemed like it could've been cool, but I think Halloween 3 will always land harder for me based on just how close it was, and the fact that the screw up was so bad we'll genuinely never get the chance to see it.
Somehow losing Eilish because of the timeframe preventing re-use doesn't quite hit that hard.

Not even remotely true but go off

Really? I’m curious, what do you think is the worst lineup of Hollywood? The only ones that stood out in 2021 were UCM and Haunting, otherwise the rest were nothing but repeats.

 

[Clive]

2021 had some high points with Hill House, Bride, and (yet another take on) Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but yeah, the lineup was overall pretty underwhelming.

With that said... this is the 2023 spec thread.

The folks at HNN (Horror Night Nightmares) Discord figured out Legacy's two clues!

What was originally planned--but has now been seemingly scrapped, we would've gotten Hollywood Harry to get a house! But the one that he released recently, is still going on...and it's NIGHTINGALESSSS

Woah, I’m no Orlando goer myself, but I heard that it’s one of the best houses of HHN Orlando of all time? How did the clue process go that lead to the answer?

I’m a bit surprised to that Harry got scrapped, but at the same time, thank god, because I’m so over Harry and clowns. Does anyone know what led to that being scrapped?
