HHN 31: Universal Monsters: Legends Collide

[ChaseTuff]

Hopefully it's closer to HHN Icons than Freddy vs Jason. My guess? We'll see one of the monsters per cast holding the ankh of power (or whatever we're calling it) up in victory.

“Extended” description calls it the Amulet Of Ra.

But I’m in agreement there. Hopefully they don’t rush us through the last scene of this house.

Now that it's officially announced, I'm excited for this one! I've really enjoyed the past several UCM houses, and I like A&D is playing with what scenarios they can throw the monsters into. This sounds really fun, and B79 (Old Parade Building) is a good location for it. Plenty of space for some big and tall sets!

The location also lines up with some folks hinting that this parade building was going to have a fight/battle inside.

Some info from John Murdy's Q&A that involves the Orlando house:

• On their coast at least, the house is equally split to give each monster their due. Hopefully the same here.
  
  
• In Hollywood, the idea was for a Dracula Vs. Mummy house, and Orlando had the Wolfman Vs. Mummy house, so they decided to collaborate and make it a three-way Vs. for both coasts.
  
  
• He said the story of the house is conceived to be two parts, with part one on one coast and part two on the other.

The second bullet point explains the rumors for this one…

And if I were to guess, the seemingly more London / UK focused Hollywood variant will follow up a more Egyptian-based Orlando variant (likely focusing mainly on the monsters they’d originally intended to have…)…

This is so cool and a good way to get super nerds (me) to go to both events

Still holding out hope we'll see a couple 1930's London scenes. Although Cairo would be neat and unlike anything we've seen them do in the past.

There has got to be a reference to cup of coffee somewhere in the house.

Fraser's coffee cup will actually be one of the themes for this year's blinky cups.

• He said the story of the house is conceived to be two parts, with part one on one coast and part two on the other.

That's a nice little treat for the niche market of fans who hit both coasts for the event.

He said the story of the house is conceived to be two parts, with part one on one coast and part two on the other.

And Murdy confirmed that Hollywood is "Part Two", so Orlando's version is the First Part of this story.

 

[Viator]

So I made a transparent version of Legends Collide. Blame me for being angy that Universal didn't have a transparent logo at the ready :tease:

Bummer? I hope we still see a winner in the Orlando version

If they’re really committing to a true cross-coast story, I would guess that our maze would end with Dracula getting the amulet (potentially as a late arrival) and presumably taking it back to London for the Hollywood maze.

That being said, they do have to make these mazes stand on their own, especially Hollywood’s in spite of it being a Part 2 so I wonder how much this idea will even matter, as cool as it is in theory.

That is very cool. I hope Classic Monsters land has that level of creativity.

Love that they made a fun video to announce it.

Also now excited for the Tribute Store themed snacks battle between these three.

That's actually really neat! As a Hollywood local, I'm going to be seeing the West coast version first so the Orlando one will be more of a prequel for me.

Dracula Doughnut VS Wolfman Waffle VS Mummy Macaron

The Dracula Donut at Voodoo for HHN29 was amazing.

A blogger was looking into Marvel's new Werewolf show and found some HHN connections. Interesting now with Wolfman at HHN this year.

If you’re insinuating there’s a Marvel connection to this house… there isn’t
