Halloween Horror Nights 2023 (USH) - Speculation & Rumors

[Rideguy70]

Well, FWIW, I've always been surprised they just haven't had an area that plays classic horror films on a loop, just so people can come in and rest for a bit while a horror movie plays. Sea World did similar, and USH already has all the rights to basically every classic horror movie they need.

I've always wondered why they haven't used it... it's a huge theater venue just sitting there unused for HHN.

I know it's a pipe dream and will never happen, but I still argue the best use of the venue for HHN would be to show key excerpts from the 1959 movie The Tingler, and have seat effects as William Castle would have intended. That'd be amazing, and basically the only place that could get away with it (both in terms of atmosphere and physical effects).

For the first few hours of the event it’s used as guest services and people go in there to get their disability access passes for the event and stuff like that. So that’s something to think about operations wise

I remember going to the Circus Circus Frightdome over a decade ago, and they would have little film highlight horror shows in the theaters at the park. Maybe it’s something like that?

I’ll be honest, even tho it takes you out of the event for a good minute, it is a nice way to recuperate after some hours at the park.

Maybe folks will imbibe at the Universal plaza bar, and recover and relax in the theater for a little while. Not sure how it could he managed, but if that is an option, I’d go check it out!

Please PLEASE tell me they’re going to have a screening of Scared Shrekless.

I got an idea...

Real talk: the fact we are looking at a potential Purge show in WaterWorld and them opening up DWT for HHN hours instills a lot of good vibez. Glad to see them having more things to get people off the streets

You have no idea how frustrating it has been to see venues shut down/blocked off when the crowds are huge when they could be using them. I’m glad they’re finally utilizing what they have.

If they plan on moving the Guest Relations to SSFL to help things out, I hope they get Silly Swirley open during event hours.

In general, having more for guests to do beyond the eight houses and TT is the big thing I've wanted them to see happen since the beginning of Post-Covid. Feels logical with what seems to be the park being given the ability to do more.

Ngl Silly Swirly at night with fog everywhere might actually be pretty cool. They could even play some cheesy Minions style spooky music

It would be the true HHN experience.

Real talk though: having SSFL for Guest Relations make sense if DWT is going to be used during HHN properly now. It would allow them to properly make queues should they wish of it as-well.

Has there been any indication if the plaza is going to get a different theme this year, or are we getting the Dia De Los Muertos theme for the third time?

 

[Wesker69]

Why change what isn't necessary? The theme works & it'd be nice for it to become an iconic feature of the event.

...if they wanted to make it a Cyberpunk Universal Monsters cemetery theme, then that'd be fine too

Looking at what’s coming at Parisian Courtyard, I can’t imagine the theme being any different.

Yep... its obviously our Netflix house based on the new movie "CHUPA"

They really named a movie “Suck”

 

[Wesker69]

"CHUPA" one of our Dia De Los Muertos cocktails then experience the terrors of our newest house, "Suck", only at HHN Hollywood!

Bringing up for the sake of speculation but it if has merit...

I'd prefer UHH over Evil Dead Rise.

If we get Holidayz again PLUS Exorcist PLUS Evil Dead Rise, talk about a bad deal for repeats. It’s just sucks that Orlando gets about one repeat while we have fewer houses and may get three. Ugh

EDR would just be an inferior UHH. I genuinely do not have any love for the film, and I fail to see how it could work for HHN.

UHH would be an improvement, but it's still a bad situation.

It's literally...........

Literally the same maze.

I’d argue it’s kinda not for example I think the decomposing fried lady rising out of a bathtub is more impressive or cool than a mostly normal looking lady possibly portrayed by a puppet just rising out of a tub
