The Old HHN 30 Speculation Thread (2020)

[Brian G.]

I've seen speculation of a possible Invisible Man house - how do you think this could be accomplished? Would we just see the dude popping out in his science suit?

A reflective body suit, if possible, would be pretty cool to pull off the "invisible" effect.

The only Invisible Man I see ever coming is the Claude Rains version. The new one just has too much against it (content matter especially).

PUTS: Under Construction was a “reimagining” of PUTS, that consisted of a half-built mansion on top of a graveyard and construction equipment. It also brought back the light helmets from Terror Mines. It was PUTS in name only.

All I remember was lots of palettes

Not trying to derail the HHN talk with corporate semantics, but..."as early as 2024". It's only 2020 now. Disney won't have a full lockdown of Hulu and it's content until we talk about HHN34, at the very least.

Disney already has majority control.

Disney already has majority control.

Point being...they still do not own control of all the content that runs on Hulu. I would imagine that the rights to "Into the Dark" in particular would be mostly controlled by Blumhouse, with the Hulu owners (both Disney and Comcast) sharing the distribution rights.

With epic universe construction being delayed a year does anybody know if construction on hhn was also effected?

Construction will still continue I believe

It seems like there’s an ever-narrowing window of what’s “acceptable.” Why an increased house count is a bad idea, not that I think that’s at all likely at this point.

Just the nature of times. Not worth the headache when there are other options available.

Increased house count is debatable depending on your POV.

Unless otherwise stated, nothing else is being impacted.

Into the Dark was ordered by Hulu. “They” own it. That means Disney owns more than 60% of it (I don’t know the exact percentage), which means Disney has to approve the usage rights for Hulu originals at an event like HHN.

They own 60% of whatever percentage Hulu technically owns. Without knowing the contents of the contract of ownership between Blumhouse and Hulu, I don't think any of us can say for sure how easy/hard it would be to license a property.

Since it's a anthology series, that potentially adds in one more complication...the episode creators. Do the writers and/or directors get any taste of licensing money? This is how we got into situations like Friday the 13th, and why the new Child's Play couldn't feature Chucky.

I think we're sidetracking this thread a bit with this Rights talk as it's mostly just Wishful Thinking.

I've been lenient on this thread due to everything happening, but I gotta put it on check from time to time.

Yah. I knew we were pushing it. It's still somewhat relevant...but very "inside baseball". I just though it was interesting. Let's move on. When's the next announcement?

Is Candyman rumored?

Not in forever. That came and died before the first spec map came out.

 

[HHNManics]

Figured you guys would want to see this.

TAKE THIS WITH A HUGE GRAIN OF SALT: I talked with my friend who works at Universal Orlando (not connected with HHN) last night for the first time in over a month - Uni is actually apparently furloughing employees starting soon but will still be covering their health insurance, which I thought was pretty cool. Anyways, she mentioned that, amongst her friends that work there that she still talks with, there were whispers going around about Amityville possibly coming this year. I asked her how credible this is and I asked if it was the talk was of the original movie, remake, or Awakening? She said she has no idea how credible, only that it was being mentioned by her work friends, and she just heard "Amityville" with no real clarity as to what exact source material it would come from.

This is the same friend that told me months ago she was hearing H5 back in December. So this is NOT real inside info, and I wouldn't put too much stock into it. But I thought it was enough to pass along seeing as how she works there and was hearing whispers about it from a few of her co-workers.

That is all.

Was curious as to why those two didn’t get POVs.

Sprung tent 1 seems to consistently be one of the best house venues.

Candyman was never a sourced rumor. It was only ever spec.

In case you missed this:

Great Community clip.

It seemed very logical. Movie planned to come out, deal with Monkey Paw, the success of Us on one coast, the easter egg in Stranger Things...

...HHN 30 was tough to figure out even before you-know-what. I imagine by next spring (should it come to it) we'll know more.
