Halloween Horror Nights 2026 (USH) - Speculation & Rumors

[Legacy]

Ozzy deconfirmed?

A Discord user pointed out that “Fozzie” is close to “Ozzy.”

It’s a carny response.

If Murdy/Aiello can get the liberty to create original monsters, I can see Backrooms being used next year.

Haven't seen it yet but why original monsters specifically

I think this is what may happen. Something they can put together quickly very late in the game as a response to the film's surprise (frankly, unprecedented) success. I'm sure there are calls being made and discussions underway as we speak.

My gut says nice photo op somewhere, possibly with a live performer (think Violent Night). May be too late to get merch designed, manufactured, and delivered.

They made a recreation of Nikki's shrine from the end for the premier, they can probably pull that out of storage. Throw in Nikki holding the vase for the character element.

Movie doesn’t offer them

Just saw Backrooms as well. Great movie and has serious house potential. It would fit like a glove in the UBE since the indoor queue already has that liminal Backrooms feel.

That being said, I wonder if you saw the same movie? Won’t go into further details for the sake of spoilers but there definitely was some um…potential scareactor characters that could be used for the house. Theres no need to invent their own just for the house.

I also don’t want to take the thread too far down the path for 2027 spec, but I think that movie is going to do well and has serious potential of being the first A24 house in the event’s history.

I also saw the movie today, and I don't really agree. There are a few action sequences they could pull from, but I'm not sure if its enough to actually make up a full house. The movie is at its best when it is subtly building up unease and dread, and I'm not sure if its really possible to capture that vibe in a house.

I'd love to see film like this be more broadly represented due to its unique creation and natural online community growth, but I agree with the concerns that others have brought up here.
