Halloween Horror Nights 28 General Discussion

[RevFreako]

With Stranger Things and IT there is no need for Purge... especially if the film flops. BUT if the film ends up being very popular, no doubt it will come. I think they will wait for the movie's debut.

Movie drops in July. No way they wait that long for a decision.

Purge's past at the event begs to differ.

I haven't heard Purge as a possibility - following up on end of last year's word that they were done with it.

They can wait. Purge is a very easy concept to pull.

What have you heard on AHS Cult?

Then again, Purge has been shoved into the event as back up.

This would be the only way I could see Purge showing up, but everything seems to be pretty solid this year, so I doubt it

If it ever does return - that's the only way; and even then... it's not their first choice. They don't even want that problem to begin with, which is why they are making sure the line-up for this year is solid and locked early.

I've heard how it's being implemented in Hollywood. That should assure you the contract stands for it to appear this year.

Have you heard anything on Trick ‘r Treat and IT? I’m hoping IT comes but with Warner Bros’ Haunt happening again there could be an issue, most likely not though

Will be cool if they do Cult, as it would have a house within a house (the hell house part).

Agreed. Some of the masks might be a stretch though.

I've heard stuff. Doesn't mean I think it's not too early to start really intimating hard info.

The gun violence of Purge caused issues the last two years. Purge was supposed to be a street in 26, but was replaced because of the Pulse mass shooting. It ended up being a street and part of a house in 27 and after the Las Vegas mass shooting, they removed certain gun props on the streets and downplayed them as much as possible in Horrors of Blumhouse.

I don't think they will go that route again, especially with the movie being so politically charged.

Totally forgot about the gun issue. I much more buy that as a reason to avoid doing Purge than any sort of political butthurt.

Typically Purge comes whenever a movie is released(2016 is the only exception), but I’d hope this year breaks the streak. Purge is overdone and not really interesting

We need to purge The Purge

I'm a fan - obviously - but even I would prefer every-other-year if Universal is going with these homegrown IPs as an easy evergreen thing.
