Halloween Horror Nights 35 (UOR) - Speculation & Rumors

[Killer Klown]

I’d think Netflix would *not* want to duplicate the properties that are at their new Netflix House interactive experiences. Wednesday/ST/Squid Games are featured in various capacities at these locations. Would they dilute interest in these by also featuring them at HHN?

I really don’t think a few mall escape rooms in other parts of the country will hold Netflix back from licensing stuff out to Uni/HHN.

Netflix is opening Netflix House in Las Vegas in 2027 and Netflix Bites exists at MGM already. Maybe the MGM location will close by then, but I don't think they are worried about cannibalization. The Netflix House and Halloween Horror Nights attendee Venn diagram has some overlap for hardcore fans, but I would argue that the audiences differ significantly. Stranger Things at HHN brought in a completely new fan base for the property.

To that point, if they were truly concerned about brand oversaturation, then Stranger Things wouldn't have been the biggest marketing push of all time.

An IT house would be so crazy. The fanbase is older in age than FNAF and I’d say even more passionate and crazy for the IP. Even if it’s Welcome to Derry (which is hugely popular), I can’t imagine the hype the GP would have with Pennywise on billboards. I really hope that happens. Resident Evil could be really grimy, gritty, and dirty, I like that.

IT would be a great get for the event but I feel like it's disingenuous to say it's a more popular IP. Pennywise is a big character but ST is a cultural phenomenon right now, especially with its final episodes on the way. Even at its highest I don't know if IT was ever as big a thing as ST has been.

I didn’t mention Stranger Things. I was talking about Five Nights and its passionate fan group. I know Stranger Things is a different beast.

Imagine the hype they could build if they landed IT. A random Tuesday in June before the announcement they could tie a single red balloon in a window in New York. The HHN fan base would go crazy and the general population if they noticed would recognize it. They could place them in different spots throughout the park before the announcement and on the day of put the full set somewhere visible.
