Halloween Horror Nights 31 (UOR) - Speculation & Rumors

[dxwwf3]

Wasn't the original post about this IP leading us to believe that it could be a headliner of the event? The vast majority of these guesses are properties that absolutely could not headline any event.

You could, it's hugely popular with the GP when new seasons come out. Plus, it has the same actress from Hill House/Bly Manor.

If it were to be a music IP, maybe Fall Out Boy? Their music isn’t really that dark but I can see many of their songs being a great score to a house. Also, they did the soundtrack on Hulk, and have headlined many concerts there over the years. Just a thought.

I believe it’s been stated it’s not music based.

Is you horror adjacent? I haven’t seen the show

Spoiler: Trigger warning

It’s about stalking and domestic violence. Literally every season.

Hoping it’s something that doesn’t come to HHN.

Yea, that’s what I was thinking.

Kinda like the whole discussion we had last year about Invisible Man movie

 

[Mashmingingmasher77]

So Blumhouse is remaking Stephen Kings Firestarter this year. I don’t really think it’s Horror so I’d assume it’s adjacent. It’s a S.K. Property so I’d assume all the general public is aware. Also I believe fans would be divided. Could it headline? I guess depending on the popularity of the new movie.

My vote is still for Witcher though. If they could get that girl to crawl on the ceiling……

So I just read they just announced for May release so probably not.

Chucky? It was earlier in spec and hasn’t been brought up in awhile. It’s definitely horror but perhaps the meta clue could mean something else? Although I don’t see it being decisive either.

Chucky feels like a lock in some capacity: show, street, or house.

What about Nope? It comes out in July.

 

[FaceBagman]

I feel like we don’t know enough about Nope to determine whether it will be a “divisive” property to include.

But yeah we all know the real answer is Pokémon, right team?

I feel like that’s coming but that’s not what these clues are about. Also Nope might be more social commentary heavy than Us, for example. So maybe not the best house.

I kid you not, I just had a weird dream where Legacy decided to reveal the answer, then I found myself roaming around some club at Disney at the mall and walked in a Lego store…

Okay weirdness aside, I’m going to trust my dream like it was a vision from the future and guess it’s Men in Black? Horror adjacent? Yes. Potential headliner? Maybe, although it ain’t popular enough, it’s a standout from the other more horror IP’s. Divisive? Well the fanbase would probably hate that an unpopular PG-13 film was coming to a HORROR themed event, while the other half would love to see Will Smith’s character in a maze And of course, it currently has an ride unlike GB and BJ.

 

[Mashmingingmasher77]

The new Salems Lot comes out in prime territory September 9th but I’d classify that as horror. Maybe it could be a supporting house. Barlow is a creep.

“Johnny Knoxville Presents: Jackass 3D” house incoming, everyone!

Ok, now I may or may not just be throwing everything at the wall lmao

*sigh*

Here is what we know from Rookie about the IP:

- The IP is popular with the general public and horror-adjacent. That pretty much knocks out “cult classic” and anime. This is something that Universal believes is a big enough IP that can headline despite not being obvious horror.
- It’s not a music artist or musical act.
- The HHN fandom will likely respond to the IP by vocally saying it doesn’t belong in a similar way they reacted to Eilish.

I’m also confident, based on stuff I’ve been told from others, that the IP is a TV show and/or movie. While that doesn’t eliminate all video games, it does eliminate most of them (and the popular enough to occur despite not being “horror” will likely eliminate most other video game options).

Assuming we can take all of these clues at face value, there’s actually not as many options as it would appear at first glance. Of those options, we can likely start taking some off the table to actually narrow things down.

You know what, I've shifted my thoughts from "Gremlins" and now feel pretty confident that it's going to be "Chucky" and I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner. It seems so OBVIOUS now.

- It's extremely popular with the general public and horror-adjacent...it's horror but also the latter films have leaned more into the comedy-horror side with dark humor and campiness. He's had a presence at HHN multiple times and even when he hasn't had a zone where he was featured, we've pretty much never NOT had merch with him available. Also, he's a Universal IP already so it's a shoe-in really.
-It's not a music artist or act.
- Even though the IP is very popular amongst the general public, I can see the HHN fandom being generally mixed as some people want "straight up" horror and not horror-comedy.
- There is a NEW TV show that HHN cross promoted last year with the photo zone so it only makes sense to keep cross promoting it. The IP in and of itself is pretty timeless but having that extra "NEW" factor of the show makes it a no-brainer.

Yeah, If I were a betting person, I'd cash in my chips on Chucky at this point.

Chuckie isn’t horror adjacent, it’s 100% horror. It’s about a demon doll who kills people. No one would be angry it’s coming to HHN as it’s been here before.

I consider Chucky horror...that said there are some people who don't believe he's scary enough because of the comedy factor. I'm not saying it's what I believe but I am pointing out the reality that some people will inevitably complain about him not being scary enough. Also, just because he's meant to be scary doesn't mean the creators didn't intend for him to be humorous too. If you don't think Don Mancini intended there to be camp and dark comedy within the series I'm not sure what to tell you lol. It's very much part of his brand.
