Halloween Horror Nights 31 (UOR) - Speculation & Rumors

[Tobias]

REALLY hoping the wicked growth 2 rumor is real then I need bog slime back

I'd probably lower your expectations on that one, it seems like that rumor stemmed from word that there's a house with traditional Halloween monsters in it. It really doesn't feel like there's much smoke towards WG2, though with the rumors of the overarching theme being Traditional Halloween, I think that's a fine trade off.

Wicked Growth 2 was pure speculation.

I also don't know what else you really want from the Pumpkin Lord. They're not going to make him an icon, most likely, and god-like characters tend to not translate, anyway. He works as a big "oh my god" reveal at the end of a house that specifically builds to his appearance. Out of that context, I struggle to see what else they could effectively do with him.

If you’re talking about the poorly received duo of Fear and Lady Luck, those I believe are last minute changes so they didn’t really have much time to make them well executed in the events. I don’t care about the Pumpkin Lord, but the bolded line confuses me. Why not just… make a good god like character (marketing reasons aside)?

Yes. There has. But, frankly, none of the rumors seems to by hyping the insiders up that much. We’re not really discussing them at great length.

Well that's upsetting. Wonder if the HHN team wasn't aware of the parade going away before they started design.

When I think of traditonal Halloween, this is the aesthetic I hope for : 1990s halloween decorations - Google Search

What really interests me is how the Halloween theme may translate to merch.

There is still a chance that they will become more interesting. For the merch I hope stuff like the pumpkin design from 28

I loved that merch. Would fit perfectly for a Halloween theme!

Yeah it was one of the best merch designs they had. The house shirt and AP shirt were both amazing

I just want the passhole guy wrong on twitter who leaked a lot of stuff on an old HHN tweet. Trying to say we get a lil boo scarezone, pumpkin lord as the icon, WG2, and all three new halloween movies are a house. A lot of people are expecting stuff that isn't happening

 

[Blysthon]

Probably not a lot of confirmed changes, just rumors/whispers

 

[Blysthon]

do you think Nathaniel Crowe could be revived as the icon this year? Because I seen on twitter that Usher and director are just for Homage. Or no icon at all.

I feel that HHN 30 from the 2020/2021 WAS the anomaly. These maps used to be far less fluid. A big thing here or a big thing there, but for the most once the original content was leaked unless there was something huge worth leveraging it would stay pretty consistent.

No.

I feel like ever since I've been going (2016), the spec maps have always been pretty highly accurate, even early on. Maybe I'm remembering wrong.

I'd agree with you. There have been curve balls, but Original Content & in house IP tends to stay consistent. Contracts can get funky, but there tends to be minimal change there even.

I think spec maps may be more difficult going forward, especially since they’ve gotten better with codenames lol

Some parties are also specifically attempting to root out and mislead leakers.
