Halloween Horror Nights 2024 (USH) - Speculation & Rumors

[Spookies n' Stuff]

Wassup with the NOES rumor? Is this only for HHN ORL or both coasts? And I thought WB owned the IP?

I think I saw a post recently of Murdy pretty definitively shooting down the possibility of NOES, but I could be wrong.

It's an IP everyone wants, but then also complains about it being at the event for the 16th time lol

 

[Ridesandstuff]

I would love to see New Nightmare at the event

 

[Wesker69]

It would be an iteration of Freddy that Hollywood hasn't gotten as far as i know.

Did trench coat Freddy have a cameo in The 2007/2008 house?

Popping in from the Orlando thread to deliver some Legacy comments:

More @Legacy and "Pinhead" tidbits from Discord:

Legacy: "At this point, the 4th IP (in regards to the rumored 4/6 split) remains the only question"
User: "so the main three so far are Ghostbusters, Nightmare On Elm Street, Uni Monsters: Dracula, and an unknown IP?"
Legacy: "Yep."
User: "was A Quiet Place actually “leaked”? Or the rumor mill has it heavily speculated"
Legacy: "Those three have been steady for about 2 months. Five Nights at Freddys was steady until it wasn’t. I haven’t heard Silent Hill since early January. Heard A Quiet Place three weeks ago"
"Pinhead"/IKnowMoreThanYou: "There's 1 more IP I've steadily heard about, but not as a house or zone."

Ghostbusters, ANoES and Dracula have been consistent, A Quiet Place was heard 3 weeks ago. Once again probably no FNaF, and Silent Hill has gotten literal with its name.

There are no Bill and Ted rumors.

And this was in response to there possibly being a 'comedy duo live show'.

Well the only show venue we have is Waterworld... although.... HHN Hollywood 2000:

^^^terrible quality, but its a rare artifact of the past! Definitely still enjoyable. However, see below for.....

Best quality you will ever find from this version, a surprising cast stand-in & post-show! ENJOY!!!


Now back to our regularly scheduled present day spec...

 

[TheHaunter]

If this is the case for the Ips is it possible for another 80's themed year?

Once again... please read the last few pages of speculation.

 

[DTH]

Consistent heard IP not a maze or a zone sounds a lot like Purge as a show again.

What if we lie to you & say the entire event is SCREAM themed.

 

[ItsAtrap]

That 2000 B&T in WaterWorld with the Bill replacement is really cool. But it shows why that is a terrible venue for the B&T show

I just noticed: they guy in the "S" in NSYNC is Derek Mears. One of the stuntmen who played Jason

 

[StopMakingSense]

Slightly off topic, but any speculation (or confirmation) about dates this year? Every year I hope they bump it back a week to Labor Day Weekend to align with Orlando.

 

[Wesker69]

Eh, I don't think it was a terrible venue for the show. Granted it was the only year it was held there. I liked seeing different stunts not seen in Waterworld (Storm wirework, burning dude on jetski, etc)

But me personally, I would want to see them attempt the former Creature From The Black Lagoon musical at Waterworld!!

Yep! Yoshi Sudarso who was a Waterworld stunt-actor ended up as the Blue Dino Charge Ranger! Gotta love the talent found in Universal entertainment!!

I definitely think we could try something other than The Purge in Waterworld, but honestly, I'm down to give it another shot as long as they add more humor to the show. I'm not saying a full on satire, but at least 30-40% of the show, I should be laughing. Dangerous Waters Year 1 took itself WAY too seriously, and they VERY ODDLY did zero rewrites throughout the season (as far as I could tell).

What if we lie to you & say the entire event is SCREAM themed.

Don't do this to me...

 

[Rideguy70]

Yeah, I certainly admired them for trying, but it seems like last year's Waterworld had a very over-wrought plot they were determined to get through... and while I'm usually quite the show critic, even I was just like... "Dude... it's a HHN Purge water stunt show. How much plot do we really need?" It'd not like they're going for an Oscar here.

I think I've mentioned this previously, but the Purge show's development/rehearsal process was... tumultuous, to say the least. It's a miracle anything got on stage last year. Adjusting dialogue is tricky, as the stunt cast relies on lines/marks for cues. With that said, if they bring it back, I hope they take the opportunity to give the script a tune-up. They are aware of its shortcomings.

Personally spitballing with what I know--I think they won't take the risk with fine tuning The Purge; and start from scratch with another new show theme altogether. The amount of show they cut; and the development issues that took place *especially in technical rehearsals* makes me think they wouldn't want to deal with that mess again.

 

[Wesker69]

Just flip the script & bring back Slaughterworld. It's bloody & raunchy. Just what the event needs lol

You're about 5 hours late on that. And there's also a dedicated thread for when stuff goes vertical
