Not even...Disappointing but guess it’s similar to Dead Silence?
Ever hear of Karver’s Kradle?

Well, Karver is a crazy person turning the people who enter his theater into puppets. Dead Silence is a ghost story about a dead, vengeful puppeteer, which partially took place in a theater. It’s the difference between Haunting of Hill House and Silence of the Lambs.Looked it up. Sounds like DS to me?

I take it then the earthquake rumor was completely false.
In the end, I guess the topic of originality (not talking about original vs. IP, talking about novelty) boils down to this:
I highly doubt this would ever be included, but I love Ready or Not and I kinda wish if they can’t do that one, that they’d do an original take on it. I get why they’d be hesitant to do that movie (religion + irrelevance), but I feel like an original take on, like, a deranged billionaire family playing hide & seek to kill could be fun. And if they were able to get that creepy song, or something like it, that’d be cool imo.
Yeah, Ready or Not - while very fun - is first of all a Fox Searchlight movie, so it'll never happen. But beyond that, it's fairly generic. Universal could definitely do an original that is fairly similar to the plot of Ready or Not.Could be a basis for a Hive sequel (“Hive Society”).
Could be a basis for a Hive sequel (“Hive Society”).
To me though, Hive was seemingly a true horror house, where as Ready or Not was more of a really violent, gory comedy with horror elements. So, if I could have that wish, I think I’d want it to stick to those roots-I only mention it cause I know your preferences are more towards straight up horror.
Like, for me, I’d lump an eccentric billionaire Milton Bradley type empire family that kills people in with H.R. Bloodengutz, Leave It To Cleaver, that kinda thing.
1990? Zero chance.My dream house is IT 1990, do you think there’s a realistic possibility they will ever do that house?

There was a little bit of chatter that it could happen in 2017, when Chapter 1 came out. Thinking was if WB won’t sell the rights to the new movie, we’ll try to get the rights to the old movie (going around the hurdle like they did with The Shining). Obviously, that didn’t happen. It may not have even gotten that far as an idea. But now that the new version is so popular, it makes the old version unviable as something Universal would go after.1990? Zero chance.
I also suspect IT 1990 would be after King started retaining some rights, might be he would have some say, in which case it'd never happen.There was a little bit of chatter that it could happen in 2017, when Chapter 1 came out.

Definitely possible. It’s very likely they had the idea, briefly looked into it, saw King retained, then left it alone.I also suspect IT 1990 would be after King started retaining some rights, might be he would have some say, in which case it'd never happen.
If only IU could do a THAT DARN MARVEL CONTRACT for King's stuffDefinitely possible. It’s very likely they had the idea, briefly looked into it, saw King retained, then left it alone.

Is there really anyone else who's said "NEVER NO NEVER" though? I mean, anything Fox is probably a no go now, but King is the only full glottal stop I'm aware of.Or really, everything HHN’s not allowed to touch.
"Band" houses largely don't work IMOThree for me:
Sad that we won’t see the Billie Eilish house, but what if we got a house from The Weeknd? Same idea, a maze that uses his music and iconography to take you into his head. Considering songs like “The Hills” and “In the Night”, I think it’d go over well.
If Disney were more lenient on licensing Fox stuff, or could make some type of exchange with Universal, I’d be all over a house based on Phantom of the Paradise - even if it’s considered too obscure. I’m imagining scares based on the split-screen car bomb sequence from that movie, as well as translating the sniper from its finale as a screen transition, a la House of 1000 Corpses.
...and no, I’ll never stop fighting for a Transformers house. The nostalgia for the original cartoon and Beast Wars, as well as the great number of “scary” characters (and characters who can be made scary), like the Terrorcons and Dinobots, make me think you could have something like Ark Under Siege, in which the Autobots’ titular base finally comes under fire from the Decepticons, and you get sent in to provide backup...can you make it out alive?
