Halloween Horror Nights 32 (UOR) - Speculation & Rumors

[TheCodeMan95]

During the day no, during HHN... yes. Last year that was a heck of a bottleneck with the extended queue + the parade floats + tribute store + food booths.

I'm interested to see what happens! I would LOVE to see them keep Jurassic around for HHN.

ICYMI: the website says under the calendar every event night is 6:30pm-2:00am. Looks like we r getting 2am close every night again this year! (Idk if it said that already)

 

[Brian G.]

Will they really need the Mummy queue in September/October though?

No. They don't...

 

[Lucky Planet]

Also only two headliner IPs. I'd think Exorcist would earn a top spot if it were still coming (or a full Blumhouse house).

Three announcement video characters, three announcements. Exorcist next. Chucky/Monsters being bunched in with originals? I could see it. Especially since Chucky already got an announcement video.

I'm still hoping and praying that we don't get exorcist. Lol. Anything else...... we'll see, but I really hope not

@Tbad556 just beat me to it, but yeah if true, this might be the first zone for Orlando that was inspired by a Singapore original?

Either way, Dejiki has some great pics to give you an idea of what they did over there. Bunch of interesting costumes of the Zodiacs which look a tad cumbersome to move around in.

Wow this is really weird and freaky. Really crazy costumes. Thank you for the heads up.
I hope we get big stages

Check your math.

$106.50 to be exact.... d@mn.

That's with tax

It’s assumed at this point that Oddfellow is going to be pushed as the “semi-icon”.
But does anyone how far that will go, will there be Oddfellow merch, story tid bits, etc?

I’d kill to see him on the medallion.

HMMMMM indeed.

I'm mostly excited for Oddfellow. Will this be a prequel that shows us what leads up to Jack or is this Oddfellows return? Would Jack, Chance, or Eddie be involved in some way or is it all Oddfellow? Either way, I'm looking forward to it all.

 

[hunnylvr]

The whole Oddfellow thing is really exciting. I love, love, love Jack. Anything related to him or his story is fine by me. I know some of you don't want to see him again for a while, but I'd love it if he were back with this somehow.

I'm thrilled by the announcement and the FFP. I knew there would likely be another price hike.. but damn. That one hurt. Of course, didn't stop me from buying it with Express because I"m not insane. The only thing that had me cursing out loud was the addition of Nov 1-4. My travel is already planned so we end on Halloween night. I cannot change the plans for various reasons. However, had I know this just a month sooner, I could've planned for it. Now, I'm bummed I won't be there for our traditional last night. It's going to kill me knowing that people still get to go, and I'm already back home. I get holding off on house annoucements, but if you're going to mess with the calendar, do it sooner than later. Some of us don't have the option of just driving over any night we please. <end rant>

 

[TheCodeMan95]

I wouldn't mind if they incorporated Jack - mainly because I still have yet to attend an event where Jack is featured.

 

[Clive]

I have to assume they're at least going to allude to him somewhere in the house, probably near the climax. Wouldn't be shocked if an Oddfellow kill, orchestrated by Jack, is the final scare, for example.

this is what I've been thinking as well. could make for a really fun final moment leading to the chase out.

 

[Tobias]

No. They don't...

Considering how quiet the studios can be during the day, yeah that extended queue is pretty much wasted space as opposed to a usually active retail spot for the entire day and night.

And with ST and FFP's announced and out, I wanna' bring focus back to the rumor that one of the possible announcements this month is tied to a sweepstakes. If that's the case, it's got me thinking on what house could it be for? There's probably only one, maybe two announcements left before we get the BIG announcement of everything else. And they've clearly taken care of announcing the major IP's that'll sell tickets, so everything yet to be announced is pretty much extra at this point.

For a couple reasons, I think there's a good chance Oddfellow is gonna' be the next announcement. The first reason is due to the little website/directory leak of "I-Follow-Oddfellow", now that could be related to whatever the mobile game is this year, but it could also be related to some sort of sweepstakes. The second reason? Oddfellow is connected to Jack. It's no secret that Jack is marketing's golden boy, if they can feature him in any way possible, they most certainly will. If Jack is featured in the house in any way, shape or form, you can bet that marketing is going to make a push for a separate announcement. "See where it all began for Jack etc.", boom. done.

There's also the rumor of Oddfellow's troupe being a horde for the entrance, that lends credence to this original being treated bigger than others.

For sure - I can't imagine they wouldn't want to use that space to make even more money.

These tribute stores basically print money for them - and to potentially have 2 open at the same time is a big opportunity.

To me, that’s the only reason they would announce Oddfellow early is if they wanted to use Jack in marketing. But that’s exactly what I hope that they do not do. Most people that have heard of HHN know of Jack. But I would venture to say outside of the HHN faithful, most don’t know about Dr. Oddfellow. I would love to see a house solely based on him. Of course I want some Jack hints and references, but I don’t want it to be all about him. Give Oddfellow a chance to shine.

I would be fine with this as the final scene. A way to bring him in, but don’t make the whole house about him.

They did this with Beetlejuice in 2022.

The more I think about it, I could see Chucky at the entrance or exit of the house kind of being interactive. I wish he could roast people and be exactly how we imagine he probably would be, but I know there was controversy back in 2008 when they did that, so there would definitely be controversy now. We are certainly in a different time and we were back then. So if people got offended back then, I can only imagine how long it would take to stop that from happening nowadays.

I think a 1920 carnival can offer something really unique for a clown original. They can explore some fun things in that environment - whether it be side-show animals, "freaks," vintage carnival structures, or even the smells of old carnivals. There is a potential with Oddfellow, even down to seeing Oddfellow's character design for the first time.

They did the whole "Chucky roasting people" bit in the 2018 scarezone FWIW.

If I get Chucky roasting the fact that his house is in F&F, I can die happy

Have Chucky joke about he's a part of the family.
