Halloween Horror Nights 31 (UOR) - Speculation & Rumors

[PrimalScream1996]

I sorta found it a bit funny how last minute the idea with Hive was that it as close enough to us getting a Salem's Lot-esque house because the plot seemed similar just little differences here and there. Barlow and Nicodemus Felling and so forth.

I see people keep saying about getting the originals/zones all in one announcement in August. I know they did this years ago - but haven't all the original houses been getting official solo announcements since 2018?

They didn’t last year, they were all announced August 12th last year. That was the norm up until 2018 I think yeah, but they went back to it last year. Guess we’ll see whether they do it like 2018-2019 or last year and all the other years.

well Icons got its own announcement last year, but all the originals besides Icons and all of the scarezones were August 12th (Icons was August 5th)

I don’t think they’ll do that ever again” considering the 2020 fiasco that went on.

The headlining ips are the ones that make sense to be featured and given a video, the originals are simply released in all one drop because they don't have time right now to drop each one especially running and gunning, its better to simply drop them all at once and release the images of the houses along with the info and leave it from there, it worked then.

They intentionally went for a Salem’s Lot vibe.

Yeah I'm glad they did because its an unique story and there's no chance we'll ever get it at the event without King pulling the brakes on the opportunity if brought to us.

6/4 split with The Weekend and Universal Monsters. I’m not saying that your wrong but is that going to get people flying in?
I’m flying in lol

Halloween is the headliner this year though

SO we know today is a dual announcement for an IP. I think the only card they have to play is it's The Weeknd or somehow we have Blumhouse on both coasts for a curve ball. Thoughts?

Both coasts getting Blum, but Hollywood possibly only getting Black Phone stand-alone

Interesting - I didn't attend last year so I didn't follow as heavily. I assumed they did it like in 2018 and 2019. I enjoyed the dedicated videos for the originals!

2018’s trailers for the original were so sick. Crossing my fingers for them to come back, but doesn’t seem like they have time. Or the want/need to do them again

 

[GlitterandGloom41]

Yeah the announcement schedule was faster those years, I don’t think there’s enough time left for them to announce originals individually so think it will be all at once again.

no way they used the phrase “cringe couple”

HHN 31: Horrors of Blumhouse

Just announced! Universal has announced Horrors of Blumhouse, featuring the films Freaky and The Black Phone, will be featured as a haunted house at this year's Halloween Horror Nights in Hollywood and Orlando...

Why are we acting like them declining to mention HHN explicitly constitutes confirmation? Sure, the wording is weird, but it literally does not say Black Phone will be at the event (or ANY event). It is not confirmation, even if the promotion greatly suggests an announcement is forthcoming

What was that about Black Phone NOT being at HHN?

He never said that, either...

 

[GlitterandGloom41]

Nobody here ever said it wouldn’t be at the event, just that that sweepstakes didn’t necessarily mean it would be.
