Halloween Horror Nights 31 (UOR) - Speculation & Rumors

[Parkscope Joe]

I’m killing myself,TONIGHT.

How about we don't joke about that.

They should announce the first house in City Walk after dark. Make it a party and live stream it.

Even WDW did a halfway to Halloween event this year.

Wow you certainly had a lot riding on it being in Puerto Rico

Eh, not that big of a deal to me. Just was kinda shopping for some my culture represented at hhn. But Mexico is cool too. I’ve always wanted either an Aztec original house or a día de los muertos house and this is the closest thing to it

How about we don't joke about that.

How about we not get offended about dark humor on a forum about a HORORR event.

How about suicide be off-limits.

Or, don't joke about something like that when you have no idea who is reading the forums. Coming from someone with VERY personal experience, it's not funny at all.

I love dark humor, but there is a time and a place for it. In this case, the forums ain't it - especially when it's about suicide.

In the meantime, let's try and get back to some HHN spec.

So, the consensus is not this week, but next for an announcement?

Yes

Legacy said he heard the 17th for an announcement for a long time...and they preload stuff into the webpages so a leak a week in advance was less-than-shocking.

Weird that they seem to me moving from Thur to Tue for announcements. Friday the 13th seemed like a perfect date...but with the news cycle they'd have had to have briefed the media under embargo and couldn't risk a leak.

Oh, um, nevermind.

A shift to Tuesdays isn’t a bad thing. It extends their engagement cycle, somewhat—especially for joint announcements of IPs.

For example -
Announcement of Tuesday, with blog post.
PRs published on media sites on Wednesday.
Behind the scenes/making of whatevers on Thursday. Double-tap everything on Friday.

Suddenly, what was a two-day cycle becomes a possible four-day.

So we’re assuming Tuesday’s announcement would be Monsters? Fine with it, just excited to get the ball rolling and to really get into HHN season

 

[HHN Maddux]

...Halloween ain't a red herring is it?

 

[ghostsarejerks]

I would love the new Halloween movies to come to HHN, as long as I get to hear that new score I'll be happy.

 

[8bit slasher]

This is really off topic but I had a random cool idea for if there was ever a scream house in the future, could you guys imagine how cool it would be if at the end of a scream house you got to see ghost face unmask themself to reveal who the killer is and it’s a different character who’s the killer each day? Like at the end of hhn icons captured with a different character being on the throne each time

 

[Parkscope Joe]

...Halloween ain't a red herring is it?

I think they’re either going mashup/TCM with it or new movies. Feels like they can’t retread what they did before.

Not sure Legacy is referring to Halloween here…

It’s all Halloween to me >

I think He’s either referring to Candyman in Hollywood or Evil Dead Murdy recently said that the current shakeup with miramax doesn’t change much of current rights issues. Which I guess isn’t exactly deconfirmation but still it’s certainly something

Typically (though not always), a change in rights ownership still requires recognition of current, on-going agreements (see - Simpsons/Marvel). Universal tries to have license agreements signed long before March.

 

[Ahmanet]

Marvel has hired a couple people from 'Rick and Morty' recently ... reading some interviews they are doing lately and it really makes me think that 'Rick and Morty' would take part in HHN if offered.

Not sure of the usual rights / competition question - but I think it would bring lot of money for all parties.
