Halloween Horror Nights 32 (UOR) - Speculation & Rumors

[Casper Gutman]

Yeah but wasn't sure if we can openly talk about them. Don't want to risk losing either of those

I genuinely hope it’s Chucky again. Anarchy!!!

And if talking about tLoU means we lose it, I say shout it from the rooftops! (Yes, I fully realize this is just me and the show and game are beloved and critically acclaimed. But I get to be weird, darn it!)

Mods can we get a ban?

The show is deeply hurtful to those of us in the chronic foot fungus community.

I feel like they're dropping the Exorcist teaser the same week as Insidious, maybe another trailer with The Nun. I feel like they'd wait until after the trailer gets released to announce.

I'm gonna guess Last of Us, then Blumhouse (to tie in with Insidious), then Exorcist.

You know, I totally forgot about the nun. I know it’s Warner Bros. but with all the discussion of them doing work with somebody they’ve never done work with before the September 8 release date works pretty well in their favor.

While the first movie wasn’t that great to me, I think the character, and when she was used in the conjuring itself were very scary.

Maybe! I just think they're running the Halloween (2018) playbook pretty closely thus far with Exorcist: Believer.

Halloween (2018) shows first footage privately at CinemaCon on April 25, 2018. Releases first trailer June 8, 2018. Puts the trailer before The First Purge when it releases July 4, 2018. Second trailer drops September 5, 2018. Movie comes out October 19th.

Exorcist: Believer showed first footage privately at CinemaCon on April 26, 2023. Trailer drops potentially mid June. Put the trailer before Insidious when it releases July 7, 2023. Second trailer could drop early September and air before Nun 2 which drops September 8, 2023. Movie comes out October 13th.

Anything is possible though. I'm strictly talking out of my ass and speculating. A trailer doesn't even necessarily equal an HHN announcement after all

No, it's a good guess! I didn't mean to shut you down, I'm just spitballing like everyone else lol.

I just don't think they'd want to drop Exorcist footage until they have a proper film to attach it to, and there isn't really one until Insidious. The timelines just don't quite match up for an announcement on the 15th.

 

[jseal777]

Kinda hoping they just sort of.... Forget about the Exorcist..

Like forget they made it.

Forget it was supposed to be a HHN house (allegedly)

We can just move on. Give DGG and Kenny Powers something better to work on. Turn it into a Leave it to Cleaver house or something.

I wish we were getting another Blumhouse tbh

Psh no need to apologize! That’s what spec is for. I totally get your logic here.

And you can add me to the list of people not looking forward to Exorcist lol.

 

[TheCodeMan95]

Yeah honestly I wouldn't be opposed to Exorcist just being gone entirely (original OR Believer)

Make it another original

 

[ThemeParks4Life]

Does Uni even know what they're doing with Exorcist? It feels like a disaster waiting in the wings after those test screening reports.

 

[rageofthegods]

Halloween 2018 also tested poorly. I would personally wait until we see more footage before writing off the film.

 

[Brian G.]

Quality of film doesn’t always equal quality of house.

 

[4hartthreat]

I feel like we are going to end up with the original film again. Or maybe the original with a little teaser section of the new film at the end

Quality of film doesn’t always equal quality of house.

To add to this:

Good property does not equal good house (Stranger Things 2/3)

Bad property does not equal bad house (Dead Silence)

It’s all about design and cast

Everyone keeps saying they don’t like the Chucky series, but I would never count a property out as the IP doesn’t matter as much as the execution

I could definitely see this, kinda like they did with Saw at 27.

 

[Casper Gutman]

Bad films don’t always make bad houses, but it’s telling that the example folks reach for is Dead Silence, 16 years old (I totally agree with the example, incidentally). Examples of bad films or TV making bad houses are plentiful - Dracula Untold, Doomsday, Walking Dead…. While exceptions do exist, I think it’s more fair to say that good properties don’t always make good houses, but bad properties usually make bad houses.

Exorcist is also a particular case because the subject matter is so difficult to translate to a house, the designers need every bit of help they can get from the property.

It doesn’t matter much - we get ten houses so a few stinkers are more than acceptable. You just have to hope they’re bad in interesting ways, which is the next best thing to being good!

Also, I don’t remember Halloween 2018 screening poorly - there was a great deal of positive buzz around it, as I recall.

Test Screening For New Halloween Movie Reportedly Went Very Badly

A new rumor suggests that there was a test screening held for the new Halloween movie from Blumhouse - and that it went very badly.

If we're going to get Exorcist, I'd prefer this. Especially since it is the 50th anniversary of the original film.

And if I were to guess, the announcement next week is TLOU.
