Halloween Horror Nights 34 (UOR) - Speculation & Rumors

[Midnight Detective]

Just for discussions sake, is there a cultural reason for the crossover between horror and wrestling fans to the degree that it exists?

If I had to guess it’s because they both feature violence, are typically over the top/performative, and deliver a similar type of adrenaline rush.

Also one of the biggest names in ever in WWE (Undertaker) has a horror theme so the crossover between the two has developed a sort of “natural” feeling to it.

even if they are ghosts like bloody Mary.

I believe I’ve read it’s not possible with the rights, but my dream would to be a Dr. Mary Agana/Bloody Mary return. HHN 18 was the one year if I had a time machine I would want to go back and visit.

This doesn't seem like any more of a stretch than The Weeknd

Exactly. I for one, was very skeptical about a Weeknd house. It personally was not my favorite of the year, but certainly was more enjoyable than I thought it would be. Well I know much less about wrestling than I do music, I would be intrigued for a new IP to enter for fold. Maybe it doesn’t work. Maybe it does. But you don’t know unless you try. As others have said, I don’t see how it would be any different than an original where demonic wrestlers have taken over a wrestling company or something like that. And it seems like the perfect IP where if the actual IP falls through, they could go the original route and it would basically be the same house.

Leone was supposed to be at my local comic con. I planned to ask him if he could see his IP used in this format or if he would have an interest in it. But unfortunately, he had to cancel.

I for one didn’t enjoy the original. The second one seemed like it was finding its footing. By the third one, I think it found its groove. The third one was enjoyable. Regardless of whether you actually like the IP or not, I believe we can all agree that between all three movies, there is PLENTY of house material.

Pinhead on r/HHN is seemingly doubling down on Willys Wonderland, totally.

Males of a certain age. Put video games in that Venn diagram, too, gonna be a largely overlapping circle.

Honestly? If they have FNAF house ideas they can't use because Scott won't play ball, this is, by default the funniest option out there. The film was pretty fun also, definitely wouldn't mind if it was actually Willy (yes I'm aware they mean FNAF but still!).

The 80s were significant for all 3, so it makes sense.

undertaker, Kane, Mankind, among others,

wrestling has always had horror characters and elements
