I would point out that a Monsters SZ would be the biggest selfie zone of all time and therefore the worst nightmare of some of the HHN faithful, but I don't believe that genie is going back in the bottle.

I think encouraging photos in small sections like the Klownz house did this year, or how Trick or Treat had the Sam figure at the front of the zone, helps manage that somewhat. They just need to design for it.

Very interesting! It’s curious especially given all the strong Hellraiser chat last year. Yes the rights are a mess and it is controversial, but it would tick the more scary/adult box, and is one of those few IPs left which HHN haven’t been able to tackle properly as a full house. Personally I’m not a Hellraiser fan, but I can see it working well and being a strong draw for the event.
Not as big a crowd as other IPs.the question is, how much of a crowd will it bring

Eh. I love the Monsters, but they literally just did it for the last anniversary year in 25. Monster house? Sure. Zone? Meh.
Just because it’s one of the few remaining we’ll-known IPs doesn’t mean it’s any higher than mid-tier. It hasn’t had a theatrical release in 20 years, the last of which bombed. Sure, it’s known by horror fans, but Universal wants casual horror to carry. Klowns and Corpses also has cross-over appeal (clowns and Rob Zombie) Hellraiser struggles with. Now, if the remake happens and does well then the franchise will become relevant again and we’ll likely see it. Until then, it ain’t going to carry an event. It would be an add-on.everyone always talks on how hhn ran out of horror ips to adapt,
i guess hellraiser would be one of the most famous ips (that are left)

More often than not, that’s the case.So whilst the timing of the Hellraiser figure appearing is strange and prompts some discussion, perhaps this is more “coincidence” than anything more substantial.

After the response to Ghostbusters, I’d say no to Beetlejuice. With Jason Peele doing Candyman, I’d say yes.Would Beetlejuice and Candyman be big enough?

Because that’s not Candyman. That’s Jason Peele’s Candyman.
I've mentioned this before, but Invisible Man as a whole could potentially work as part of a house. However, having a house based on the Whannell adaptation (a movie that is primarily centered around domestic abuse) would be tacky and tasteless. If Invisible Man was to be featured, it would be the original Claude Rains version.I'm not sure this has been mentioned, but what about Invisible Man?
Reasons for:
1. Not featured in this year's house.
2. Blumhouse co-produced movie coming out in February.
3. Uni-owned IP.
It's definitely not a big IP to truly carry the marketing of the event, but if the movie is popular, maybe it'll come in?
