Halloween Horror Nights 31 (UOR) - Speculation & Rumors

[HHN Maddux]

Something I just thought, could we have a Yeti situation with SCarey?

The Swamp Yeti section in Slaughter Sinema was the best received and got its own house (altered of course) the next year.

Maybe the same could happen with SCarey?

Whichever section was best received (which I think would probably be Leave It to Cleaver or Hive).

Scarey was made up of multiple different previously existing houses though. Although, I do not think any of the scenes in Scarey where exact replicas of scenes in previous houses.

Slaughter Sinema was made up of houses the creative team wanted to make into houses, but decided that their dream houses could not fill up a whole house. With some changes, the creative team was able to make these dream house ideas into single rooms for Slaughter Sinema.

The Swamp Yeti just happened to be unanimously well received by everyone that the team thought it would be a good time to try the Yeti house out. I just don’t know what scene from Scarey is unanimously well received in the same way the Swamp Yeti scene was.

Maybe we see a squeal to something in Carey, but I think it’s more likely to see something at the event in Carey than anything else.

I need Leave it to Cleaver 2!!

Doubt they’re going to do anything from Scarey since we just had it last year.

ST 3 was a perfect ending to the series before the tag after the credits. Wish they weren’t doing any more, but I guess there’s too much moneybeing made to stop it. Watch it get run into the ground like WD.

I know anniversaries are an easy assumption, but that’s not always a safe bet. 2020 would’ve been the 60th Anniversary of Psycho, a property that has some strong roots in HHN’s early history, and it wasn’t featured for the “Anniversary Celebration”.

Disregard films that are having an anniversary, there is not enough evidence that supports the motive of the design leads taking this into consideration.

It also comes off as wishlist talk most of the time.

Agreed, one might think film Anniversaries at the company own are a sure bet, but unless marketing or A&D want to do something with that property for that year, well you're out of luck there.

The only Anniversary you can kind of make a sure bet on is the event itself (10, 16, 25, 30 etc.).

It's true, they did - but Us has significantly more characters that translate to a haunt environment. While its themes are political, they also aren't nearly as brazen and openly provocative as what's in the new Candyman.

I'm not saying it can't be done, but I'm not peronally sure how they would execute it. I don't even know which "Candyman" they'd use. With that said... I'm sure if the producers are willing to go for it, Universal would love to use it. Marketing-wise, the hook is as popular as the "Us" scissors.

I have some ideas and am plotting out a fan-treatment for a haunt based on the new film, but it is difficult and takes some creative liberties. The nice thing is that the film provides multiple "Candymen" to utilize. Plus it calls back to some 1992 plot points that I bank on devoting moments to. So the success of adapting the new film really depends on if creative is allowed to utilize those same characters & plot points/scenes from the 1992 movie that the new film was able to. I don't know how rights issues on that would work out.

Even with mixed reviews, I think ticket sales for the new movie proved that the name alone will always bring a crowd no matter what. Maybe not in the top-tier level that your Michael, Jason, and Freddy will. But I think certainly on a level close to if not even with TCM at the bare minimum. I think the social commentary that creative would have to work around is somewhere between Us and Get Out in terms of controversy, but probably just on the borderline of material they can avoid getting too deep into within a haunt and still provide a cohesive haunt.

I would have thought this past year to be the one Uni would want to jump on it though, which gives me my only hesitation about it showing up next year.

I could have sworn I saw a "coming soon" sign over a Swamp Yeti poster in icons

I really doubt the “coming soon” means anything. Any movie theater has posters of films coming soon

 

[Freak]

Yeti was my favorite house from 29. Another yeti house but in a Dead Waters setting? Sign me up!

Yep.

I'm saying!

A house set in the Everglades would be a lot of fun IMO

I'm incredibly interested to see what they're going to do about the bottlenecks next year. They need to be addressed, particularly San Francisco.

Everyone talks about HHN Orlando's bottlenecks... but then I just end up thinking about Springfield in HHN Hollywood...

Florida Man: Terror of the Everglades

The facade will be a Publix that Florida man has terrorized. After we go through it, the other half of the maze will go through the Everglades where he roams.

USH local here. I can attest to the fact that area gets AWFUL during HHN and peak season.

The best state in the union deserves a haunted house at HHN

Fixed.
