Well I'm guessing HoB 2 may be our Midsummer Scream announcement, given that Murdy and Aiello can both explain the concept in person.

Or Poltergeist be the announcement since it is shared and a Classic property.

or maybe they should announce them all; y'know, rip the band-aid off! (I'm kidding, but y'know)

But Get Out & AHS Asylum/Cult are too “controversial”
O::bonk:This is a weird year for Hollywood considering our event is more prone to controversy

What do y'all think the chances of this year's HoB being more intense/effective than last years?
I feel like, if what is being said of Blumhouse is true; that Creative Team is going to get a complete breakdown after the event (or even maybe during the event).
Either way, I'm burned out. And while I will post the casual photos and videos for construction by others, I'm done with the speculation; as this is too much.ut:

I won't believe that Unfriended rumor for a second. Not even Fright Fest is that stupid.

As funny and sad as Unfriended would be I’m hoping it’s a false rumor. If not then corporate needs to back off a little next year

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if they did Unfriended, just to get it out of their system and see if it's possible to do.

What's incredible about the Unfriended rumor is that isn't even seen as a viable franchise in the eyes of Universal. The sequel (Dark Web) is being released through BH Tilt, Blumhouse's in-house distributor, used for smaller, targeted films that Universal (or other major studios) pass on. That says to me that Universal felt Dark Web was A) bad, B) too intense/problematic in content, or C) a little of both; it's not like the first one wasn't a huge financial success.
Now, it's unclear if this rumored component of HOBv2 will feature the first installment (which was a Universal film), the second (which isn't), or both (not impossible - see Sinister). The first-only would make more sense/avoid the seriously-unpleasant-can't-emphasize-this-enough human trafficking element and would focus on a Universal film, but it still feels weird that they'd want to bother synergizing with a franchise they're no longer spearheading.
Most baffling of all, by the time the maze debuts in September, the theoretical promotional window for either film will be long gone. Truth or Dare debuts on home video this week, while Unfriended will enter and leave theaters before August even begins; a home video release is possible for October (considering BH is handling distribution themselves), but it's not like they're going to be leveraging anything substantial here.

real question is why do movies that don't have maze potential besides one scene. seriously try and do a 4 room layout for each movie and you ain't gonna find much

This x100000000. There is literally nothing from Unfriended that can be used besides blender kill IMO, plus it’s considered one of the worst movies of the decade. Truth or Dare won’t be a big seller either.
Edit- Anyone else think Truth or Dare could end up like SAW? In that it’s mostly watching people get tortured

Sad and hilarious we’ve gone from “HHN is going to be a total 180 from last year and be incredible!” to “you thought TiTE was bad? Hold my Diet Coke and watch this!” They’re literally going out of their way to piss everyone off this year.
