No you're remembering correctly. The New Halloween Films including 2018 - Ends are all owned by Miramax which is owned by Disney.
Disney no longer owns Miramax and hasn't since 2010. beIN Media owns 51% and Viacom owns 49%.

Still no reason they couldn't do any Halloween films that they have permission for though. I was never suggesting a Halloween house would be the new trilogy, just that it would be the Halloween IP.No, you're correct. New Halloween is off-limits.
I don't see a house near F&F happening unless they use the F&F queue. The only alternative would be to throw up a 4th tent backstage, but the only spot for it is across from a highly trafficked backstage road, especially during HHN. And there's a lot of SA's walking around out of costume back there since that's right near where the backstage cafeteria is.Going on my list as I did for Hollywood...
- 11 Mazes, yes, I think there is an addition. 40D (Villain-Con), B108-S, B79, SS23 A/B, SS24 A/B, MIB Sprung Tent 1/2, and Near Supercharged
- Jack The Clown and Chance returns, with Bourne or BMG's Venues used for a Stage Show with the two.
- Safe Bet IP: Monsters, Chucky, Fear Street, and Stranger Things
- Small Risk IP: Last Night in Soho
- Risk IP: Squid Game [If Squid Game is not feasible, then Mike Flannigan]
- 5 Original Mazes, with one of them being a repeat of a previous maze
- No Production Central/Plaza of The Stars Scarezone.
I think Jack and Chance being at HHN for another year is highly sensical, due to international guests being able to come to the event properly again. I think it makes a lot of sense that Marketing would want to have a reliable face to head the event, and those two feel like the faces of HHN.
Any reason not to speculate towards a potential Chucky zone/house? We got the photo-op this year, the show is on an NBC network, and it's not like it's unexplored territory for HHN by any means.
My thoughts exactly. It baffles me why they didn't already go up to 11 with a 5th soundstage house at the very front.I don't see a house near F&F happening unless they use the F&F queue.

I think if an 11th house happens, it'll be in BMG. Throw a house up in there and have then since you are going to the BMG side instead of the cluster of sound stages on the other side, there's plenty of room for queueing. Start the queue right next to Despicable Me much like houses in the past have like From Dusk Til Dawn and 25 Years.

Good point, that feels like something they'd want to do for the marketing synergy. The new series is getting good reviews, how are the ratings?
'Chucky' Series Premiere Scares Up 4.4 Million Viewers Across USA and Syfy
It was child's play to get adults ages 18-49 to watch the USA Network and Syfy premiere of new horror series "Chucky."www.thewrap.com
The premiere ended up generating 4.4 million, even counting a delay. It is USA's highest rated series for a premiere.
Wow geeze yeah I think Chucky will definitely have a house or zone or SOMETHING.
First episode had 808k combined on SyFy and USAGood point, that feels like something they'd want to do for the marketing synergy. The new series is getting good reviews, how are the ratings?
To add to this, I was looking through James' Twitter for fun clips of him doing his shenanigans, and on the last day, during one of the times he visited Eddie's stage, he asked everyone if they're ready for Eddie to take over HHN.Considering the idea of “Eddie killing Jack” seems to have been confirmed to have been floated, I can imagine that this year’s theme might hinge on the “horror movie buff” (emphasis on buff) storyline Eddie carries, which would make it extremely similar to an Usher/Director year with some excuses to say “This original maze is Eddie’s idea for a new movie”. It’s probably the easiest way to thematically link several disparate zones and houses into something cohesive and marketable, gives them a great theme for the Lagoon show, and lines up with the rumors for this year’s event having a lot of “titans of terror” situation, especially if Halloween AND Chucky AND Stranger Things appear.
As for those that are worried about the marketability of an Icon, and the discussion that this thread has every single year about the end of Icons and how much Universal does not care about theme… I’d not underestimate the power of a handsome, muscular guy in central Florida that’s related to Jack and has the power to make tangential connections to IP palatable to to super-fans.
Squid Game is the easiest option after how much guests enjoyed Seek & Destroy.
Let's be careful how far we're looking down the rabbit hole for confirmation on what you guys want to happen. Is it possible that Eddie is the Icon next year? Yes. They have the look down now and they know who to contact to play him as well.To add to this, I was looking through James' Twitter for fun clips of him doing his shenanigans, and on the last day, during one of the times he visited Eddie's stage, he asked everyone if they're ready for Eddie to take over HHN.
I know, but it just really stuck out to me because of the rumor that they not only planned for Eddie to kill him and take the throne but even fully rehearsed it.Let's be careful how far we're looking down the rabbit hole to for confirmation on what you guys want to happen.

However, it's also possible that James was just having some fun and nothing will come of it regarding Eddie for 31.
