Ok, there's no way I'm not calling that the dead baby shirt when I'm looking for it in my closet in the future.

This is the first year since they did Universal Monsters back in 2018 where I feel like it could conceivably be the last we see of the Monsters for a while. You better believe I will be stocking up on that Unmasked merch.

Can’t wait to see it all next week!!

It’s not a Universal release, so just like Stranger Things I’m sure they are waiting until the actual event to drop the merch.

I would imagine releasing merch is part of WB’s contract stipulations when lending Universal their IP.

Good things come to those who wait!

The reason why I do *not* think this is the case, is because of something key.

So stupid when companies do this

So instead of letting people have cool merch to remember the event with YOUR brand, they just opt out and then your forget it was even at the event...just stupid

I'm sure the rights lapsed from last year. Maybe it's something they could have renegotiated in time for this year's event, but it's also conceivable that circumstances prevented a marketing license, despite Universal holding a creative production license. These agreements aren't always full "360 deals."

It was supposed to be yesterday, per Murdy. Blumhouse/Universal Pictures/legal must be really dragging their feet on final art and copy approvals.

I can understand if Blumhouse is the holdup for the show announcements, but what's stopping them from announcing the scare zones? Aren't those original concepts?

Legal could be tying those up, too. There was an issue a few years that required a last-minute art and name change.

To be fair, ghostbusters was omitted from the 2019 shirt and almost every store had a whole section devoted to ghostbusters merch despite that. I think its worth holding out hope for at least something.

Except Ghostbusters was a shared IP. I feel like for any IP that isn't shared, they won't really bother with merch. Yeah we had Klownz merch last year but they reused old artwork from Orlando's 2018 zone. I could be completely wrong, but unless they had a design saved from last year, I don't see us getting any EDR merch.

I meant its logo was omitted from the "maximum screamage" shirt with all the names listed similar to this year's omission, it was still on the Key Art shirt via character representation rather than logos.

That is possible, but I still expect something. Could just be a generic black shirt with the evil dead logo on it with no mention of Rise or any other graphic, I don't think it'll be completely void of representation. I think a better reference point would be Exorcist and Halloween 4 having new designs in 2021 despite orlando not sharing them.

Lol I always wondered if it would get to the point with Uni H'wood marketing that they'd announce something after the event started. So curious about show(s), maybe as a transition (and tribute) to Jabberwokeez, they can drown them in the Waterworld lagoon to start the festivities.

Some of these legal agreements on IPs must be quite wacky, who remembers when Orlando ran Beetlejuice for a weekend to satisfy a marketing clause (was that proven to be factual?).

EDIT: I'm seeing photos on Facebook from the Orlando team member preview of a M3gan horde, looks impressive, hopefully that happens in Hollywood (there was a casting call that fit M3gan I believe).
