Halloween Horror Nights 2024 (USH) - Speculation & Rumors

[Tobias]

That makes sense. I should have thought about it that way, but in my brain it got categorized as an "original" since wasn't 1:1 to the source material. Either way, I hope that is the case!

Yeah, I can totally see how one might get a little confused about it. But a real good way to think about it is it's not about being 1:1 to the source material, it's more due to the fact that HHN still needs to get permission from the owners/studio to use those specific characters as they're IP.

Being that The Bride of Frankenstein is one of my all time favorite films, I should have thought about it!

If the Pig is TCM, maybe it’s the recent Netflix one. It wouldn’t be a repeat and often there is a Netflix house. There are rumblings of sequel in the works so Netflix may want to get people to remember this one again.

Other pig head movies that come to mind are Winnie the Pooh blood and honey (lol) and any of the Saw movies.

H-lot 1. Obvious choice is Bride of Franky, but something else it could be is the Bride of Chucky.

The only thing so far that is disappointing to me is the music themed house. I know it probably brings in an audience but I’d prefer we stick to movies/shows.

 

[DTH]

I can't imagine any creative drumming up that lineup and thinking "ah yes, this will be the biggest year ever! Wait until they get a load of TCM for the 6th (7th?!) time! Insidious for a 4th time! They had the Stranger Things monster 3 times before, now here's AQP monster that'll look exactly the same! More UCM! More Blumhouse! More fun with Ghostbusters! More dancing through mazes with The Weeknd!"

It all looks like pivots and last second fixes.

What do you guys think that Quonset but on fire is??

I understand nothing has been confirmed, but just going off of the rumors, the line up sounds very….underwhelming. Doesn’t sound like it will hold a candle to last year.

With that said, I’m getting flashbacks of 2022 speculation. I recall speculation pointing to a lot of familiar IPs/repeats and it ended up being one of the better years for me. I’m not excited about TCM and Insidious being back for the 37474th time as well as Ghostbusters, but it’s extremely possible I’ll be pleasantly surprised.

The speculation just doesn’t add up to me right now. I can’t imagine Murdy saying there’d be no literal repeats, and then you end up with 4 not-literal-but-still repeats (Insidious, Ghostbusters, TCM, Weeknd) to go along with a run of the mill UM maze, an IP no one really wants (AQP) and a couple of originals. I feel like this is back to 2023 when everything was held so close to the vest that no one really had any idea what was going on.

Honestly, I’ve kinda given up on spec this year. Things appear to be shifting around way more than they usually do. Feels like maybe the info streams have been throw out of sync, or maybe people are just being extra coy about stuff this year. Just gonna ride it out and see what happens over the summer.

What do you guys think that Quonset but on fire is??

My initial thought was a Toxic Tunnel house.

Exterminatorz??

 

[HHN Maddux]

Looking at the map, the logo at Waterworld I believe is a Purge symbol, so likely the return (or hopefully a different and much improved version) of Dangerous Waters.

Also if I may ask, do we know why they don't just bring back Slaughterworld?

 

[Wishmaster]

Exterminatorz??

As a house

Because why do slaughterworld when you have an ip that would get people to actually attend the show?

As a house

Is that on the spec map?

I promise I don't wanna stoke this discourse again, but genuinely my first thought with the radiation symbol being on it was Fallout. Sure it doesn't have the little indicator that it's an IP, but up until now we've only seen them use those for Movies and now Musicians too, i dunno if it applies to video games.
Wouldn't hold my breath though, very easy second answer would just be an original also themed to a nuclear apocalypse.

It’s not Fallout.

 

[saint.piss]

It’s not Fallout.

Lol

Speculating but given what seems to be the case; Weeknd seems to be fully ours if nothing really changes.

I wonder if they do tickets and dates with Weeknd in June. Would honestly make sense if they'd want to have a "Headliner" IP be a major force for Hollywood and LA crowds to get it (then you could save Texas for MidSummer Scream, and talk about the 50th anniversary of the film there).

If it is Weeknd, I wonder what direction they go with the house? They would have already done After Hours, and Dawn FM will have been almost 3 years old by that point and honestly I think that album was relatively unsuccessful commercially. I know they did an After Hours/Dawn FM house last year outside of the states, but would they go with a fully Dawn FM house this time? I feel like it’s more likely to be something based on a new album or a house that he’s helping produce that isn’t directly related to any music videos.
