Halloween Horror Nights 2025 (USH) - Speculation & Rumors

[Freak]

Krampus would be a fun property to revisit.

- Fills the Cult IP slot. Also fills the Comedy IP slot to a lesser extent.
- Christmas theme, which is rare.
- Relatively easy to acquire.
- A great way to reuse props/elements from Frozen Empire.
- Recent advancements in puppetry/animatronics could make it a step up from 2016.

It would be better served as a Hollywood exclusive, but I wouldn't mind seeing it return to Orlando.

Although I agree that upgrades in puppetry would improve the house, I really don’t want to see Krampus again. It was already great back then and I don’t think bringing it back would make it that much better anyway. Keep Krampus in the last. It’s best left as a great memory we got to experience.

If we’re gonna repeat an IP from the past, I would say bring back either Silent Hill or American Werewolf. Now either one of those two would greatly benefit from advanced puppetry/AAs and boosted budget. I would love to see a true sound stage scale Silent Hill house in TWDA or AWiL with improved puppets/AAs, bigger sets, and no black walls. Although I enjoyed the original iterations of those houses, the potential for improvements would be so great, they would be worth repeating to make them really good houses.

If we're talking Christmas houses, I'd rather we see the UKC dolls used for Gremlins.

Yeah no point in Krampus when it was already a perfect house imo.

Better to redo houses where there was a clear budget issue holding it back (e.g. Evil Dead 2 to make up for AvED, Poltergeist, or The Shining redo).

Rather than being based on the Krampus film, I think an original take on the character of Krampus could make for a strong house at the event.

There have been many different horror interpretations of Krampus that differ from that movie, and Universal Orlando created an original design for the character at their All Hallows Boutique shop overlay, which some have wanted to be expanded on for a HHN house.
