Halloween Horror Nights 30 (UOR) - Speculation & Rumors (2021)

[Legacy]

On the other hand, that middle finger is one of the biggest laughs I've had all week. They honestly lost no goodwill over it, they could do the same thing every day and twice on Sunday, and every one of the marks, myself included, would sit there for it.

Which is a bit insane to me, but different strokes. I don’t attend, so don’t feel a need to invest so much energy in it when I know there’s no pay-off.

But like I said, at least there are some surprises still in store.

I posted this a-Twitter

Intentional or not, I love the stylistic rhyme here

If you were like me and worried about some things not making sense like how Jack escaped the lantern this may put some things to rest!

I didn't catch that the first time

Funnily enough it sounds like the lantern is still going to be part of the Icons house

From what I got this is just a “forget about the lore and just have fun with the past” kinda year

It feels like the lore of HHN and the icons is so inconsistent that every year with them is like a comic book annual in that case. You shouldn’t be taking HHN lore seriously as is, so a year without cohesive lore probably won’t be too jarring for most people as most people don’t care.

I forgot about the lore in 2006, but yes...here's to 2020!....1...whatever year it is now

That's more or less by fine me (it was never especially consistent to begin with), but that does fly in the face of such a lore-heavy maze. FEAR felt like something the event's creative designers felt more or less ready to leave behind (and did in the last major anniversary), yet here he is framing the return of the icons.

So today went about as I expected, ultimately the most important thing for me is we're now in the period where announcements can happen. An I look forward to seeing what surprises may turn up!

Also, there's something that I think was glossed over in the chaos of discussing tickets/FFP's. From IU's post...

Universal is teasing that Jack’s return to Halloween Horror Nights 2021 will feature the clown “invading every corner of this year’s event with unsuspecting “Jack Attacks” that will send guests running for their lives; infiltrating every aspect of the event – from the streets to the haunted houses to the places guests would least expect”

So, are these "Jack Attacks" just some media buzzword? Or could we be getting some roaming hoards of him, possibly with some expanded boundaries like they did in 22? (Shops n' restaurants)

Honestly I kinda got more excited that they admitted lore didn’t matter! It’s so inconsistent why bother

I guess two things can be true:
1) they are being loosey goosey with Jack’s return as icon of the event
2) the house is self-contained

I laughed out loud at the that quote from Aiello when I read it, however.

 

[RomanNikolas]

What was @Joe saying, about 15 percent increase over 2019?

Holy cow :grin: that is insane. If that means $160 for FFP…guess it’ll have to do. Still buying it, and still totally worth it- worth the price of roughly two to three nights. Gotta get that wallet prepared:freak:

I think it's an interesting concept for a house for sure...I like the concept for FEAR and I wish more was done with his presence in anniversary years

When they said it’s like a comic annual I took the icons as more of a What If house

People thought it was for an icon (Caretaker was planned)

And it's hilarious looking back at the Caretaker plans, because all the hinting and teases clearly pointed towards him.

Instead we got...BONE

A little off topic but why was the Caretaker cut from 27?

I guess whatever reception Chance got in 26, it basically shut off Marketing’s minds from any of the other older icons?

What reception did she get in 26?

 

[Legacy]

What reception did she get in 26?

Nowhere as strong as Jack in 25.

I wonder if RoF will be the first three week or the first four weeks as the event is now a week longer

RoF included all the September dates in 2019, which was 17 nights. I'm hoping that it at least goes through the last full weekend of September (the 26th) this year. That would cover at least 16 nights.

 

[Brandon Voorhees]

Fyi, the 27 countdown was a month, and also included phone and desktop wallpapers aside from the sweepstakes. That was a dark time... But not in a good way.
