Halloween Horror Nights 32 (UOR) - Speculation & Rumors

[HHNIcon]

Or not at all.

Dark Zodiac is the scarezone I really don’t buy yet.

The only scarezones I think are pretty set are Vamp and Jungle, along with the M3gan horde.

I agree, also because he's so intrinsically tied to this legend, it would feel like appropriation to use some generic blues music in the house. It's his story, not some anonymous urban legend.

Eeeeh… “appropriation” might be a little excessive. The legend of meeting the Devil at a crossroads goes back to (at least) Faust in 1876, and that story is based on a legend from the 1400s. The “crossroads” aspect of the legend is not specific to Robert Johnson. It’s a fairly standard legend. It’s the blues music aspect that is “unique” to him. It’s also not exactly a favorable legend (I can’t imagine his estate threatening legal proceedings because Robert Johnson sold his soul). While it may be a touch uncouth to retell the legend without, you know, the legend, it’s no worse than what they’ve done with Roanoke or the lost Columbus ship.

I just wonder when the next announcement will be...

I just wonder when the next announcement will be...

I can share that it will be before Sept 1.

I can share that it will be before Sept 1.

Well actually... my source who works at the Evil Stuff minions gift-shop said the next announcement will be on July 32nd

That Original drop is gonna be mindblowing.

Mark my words.

Again, I don’t follow this thread much to save myself headache, but what are we expecting for this year’s classic monsters house? I know Paris is the popular rumor, so do we think just Phantom or are there gonna be others?

Dark zodiac is happening

Krampus always seemed to come out of nowhere based on pretty flimsy evidence.

The element I’m now most curious about is Exorcist - any insiders wanna tease us with a hint on details? In or out? Original or Blumhouse or HHN-specific sequel or mashup?

This is what I've been wondering. I'm assuming Phantom/Dracula, with maybe Hunchback?

My ideal is Phantom/Hunchback with them fighting over the same girl as both stories involve a monster in love with a girl.

Edit: also, in my version the Phantom is the villain as he is seen as a more villainous character in the novel original movies. He kidnaps the girl (possibly Esmeralda and probably from Notre Dame) after hearing her voice and brings her to his lair beneath the Opera House.

The Hunchback pursues.

(((((
B…b…but Krampus is in the HHN hype Spotify playlist (((

 

[HHNSK]

Or not at all.

…. Ugh! I figured this was too good to be true!

 

[Kichkinet85]

Krampus seems to keep going on and off

 

[Rokweiler]

Hey, I don’t generally post but I’m rewatching ST4 and there’s a scene where Jason is being interrogated about Patrick’s death and he is asked where Eddie was. He then states that Eddie is just a vessel for satan. He’s made a pact with the devil and now he has his powers. Links in nicely with the Robert Johnson rumours even if there’s no intention….
Or are the Robert Johnson rumblings just a vessel too? Just kidding, but it just pricked my ears

I just wonder when the next announcement will be...

From a logical standpoint, announce next week before Midsummer, then they have something to talk about at the event as well as being able to announce a Hollywood original.

Extend that hype train from the end of the week right into the weekend.

My question as far as announcements go is which will be the last IP announcement?

Murdy seemed to indicate that he believed Chucky was being re-announced, so do they save that for last?

Were it me, that’s what I would do as that little doll sells tickets.

 

[Bigskinny0310]

I would love to see how Uni would tackle analog horror. A super atmospheric Skinamarink like house would be a grail for me.

 

[HHNIcon]

From the construction thread. They’re setting up for the death eaters in Diagon Alley

 

[Kichkinet85]

Interesting. Wonder if this is something to stay past 32 or it’s just for this year?

I said this in the construction thread but now feel it fits better here.

Great news. It's not another show, but it should draw more foot traffic than usual!
