Halloween Horror Nights 35 (UOR) - Speculation & Rumors

[Neo]

My completely baseless speculation for HHN35.

• Stranger Things 5 - because, of course.
  
  
• Five Nights at Freddy's 2 - those animatronics weren't cheap, they need to get their money's worth out of them.
  
  
• Another classic slasher house in the vein of Jason. Something like A Nightmare on Elm St where you go through scenes from the whole series in the first half, then walk through an archway space between two of the glove blades, and then hallways of Freddy's with all the different faces and outfits he's worn throughout the series. That was suuuuuch a great house and tribute to the IP, I expect it continue if they can get the rights for different IPs to work out.
  
  With the speculation of Hellraiser, it would fit my mold too. First half movies, then walk through an opening in Lament Configuration/Cube, and then just a couple hallways of non-stop Cenobite scares pinballing you along.
  
  Or, with it being an anniversary year, maybe an original version. The first half of the house being highlight rooms of previous fan favorite originals, then walk though Fears Lanturn, and just have the past Icons jumping out to scare you down the hallways. Something like this I feel would allow for "lesser" Icons/Mascots/Characters like Bones because you don't have to do anything with their backstory, they're just part of the pinball scares in the second half.
  
  I just loved how that house worked and want to see them do it in the future. I'll gladly sacrifice a few rooms of scareactors I miss more times that not to have a section where everybody is guaranteed to get some scares.
  
  
  
• A Cat Lady House - all the other speculation about this makes total sense.
  
  
  
• Anarcade 2 Scarezone - it's just such a great and easy zone to do. Don't need any street props, just a TON of fog and blacklights. Such a fun entrance to the event and the "book report" zones are just getting old.

What I think we know for sure is that they’ll bring back the icons in some shape or form next year for the anniversary year. But the whole Jack Vs. Oddfellow, is really wishful thinking! It would be cool, but idk? HHN is notorious for teasing us fans with anything, but it’s all in good fun.

For IP’s, Stranger Things Season 5 would be cool or they can do a best of with all the previous seasons with Season 5 sprinkled in, almost something to the last Walking Dead house we had back in 2016.

Hellraiser is making waves, and I’m all for that. But I think they should do Freddy Krueger. Hear me out: back in 30 they brought back Leatherface and made it a best of/ original story with the characters. They just did Jason Universe, why not bring back Nightmare on Elm Street franchise? Freddy deserves to come back! Especially if Jack is coming, it would make sense.

If they’re going to do a Blum House house, they should do a full Black Phone set up for both movies. I also think Imaginary can work, and I wish they would do justice to Sinister!!!!!!

Abigail should definitely come to HHN, along with The Lost Boys, Gremlins, and Fright Night.

Random discussion/speculation point - what will be next year's theme/aesthetic?

I know the circus theme gets overplayed, but they always do a decent job with it.

This was so intertwined with the theme of 2019 that idk how it would work to bring back - but I'd still love to see it!

I can see the theme being about the icons, like the arch decorated for the anniversary. That’s just my guess.

You mean like 16, 20, and 30?

If they're going to do another anniversary run, I hope it isn't just back to the same tricks.

I actually would like to see them "ignore" the icons next year, and focus on just Jack/Oddfellow. Duality of Fear was a great idea, horrendous execution. One idea I had was to "split" the entrance zone into separate areas for Jack and Oddfellow (Jack in front of Minions with a circus-like atmosphere) while Oddfellow in front of Wicked (with his stage platform from 32), etc.

I'd like to see them "re-invigorate" the icons for HHN 36-39, with each having a house or zone, leading up to 40.

Yes that’s what I am hoping, or else it’ll become repetitive. But Some people haven’t been to 30, including me. But what I am hoping for, that they do something high budget. That guests haven’t seen before.
