Halloween Horror Nights 2026 (USH) - Speculation & Rumors

[wedgeskywalker9]

I’m actually really surprised how cool everyone is being about this. For some reason I assumed yall would think Fortnite at HHN is dumb. I think it’s fun personally, anything people are excited about it cool

Feels pretty similar to FNAF in my book - a video game IP that appeals to a younger demographic. FNAF has more of a jump scare focus, but the actual character designs for the Fortnitemares stuff I've seen feel like an easier fit than for a scare zone or house than the bulky animatronics. Not like there's a lot of must get IP this year, either. I say bring it on.

I disagree as someone who plays both. FNAF is alot more grounded and has a movie that did all the work of making the games exist as practical props. Exploring an abandoned haunted pizzaria works perfectly for a house. Fortnite-mares usually is a lot of IP collabs with huge areas of the map decorated; even for Orlando it's way too big for a house. A scarezone and/or a show fits Fortnite-mares a lot better, but the Waterworld stage would be strange... not sure how they'd make it fit to be honest. But I'm open to anything!

I guess I just don't understand the appeal of having Fortnitemares if the cool thing about it is having IPs clashing (I think?), which, inevitably I have to imagine HHN won't have? Since the trouble to go through having those IPs is still an obstacle to deal with other studios. And if they did obtain the rights to use those IP characters, my main thought would be "cool, but then why not use them for a maze?" Unless Fortnitmares will specifically only use the Universal and/or HHN characters from 2026, but somehow, that seems like "eh, so what? I already saw them elsewhere."

I guess it just comes down to "cool and easy synergy where we can kinda do what we want but have a video game IP, but it ultimately doesn't matter one way or another"

They’ll probably just use the Blumhouse characters for whatever they’re using for Fortnightmares
