Halloween Horror Nights 35 (UOR) - Speculation & Rumors

[srbmarc]

As a fan of the franchise, I can't imagine the character working in a PG-13 environment. Now if they put it in the Horror Make Up Show building with "this is R-rated" warnings and really enforced no cell phones/cameras, I could see that. It would be like an intimate comedy club setting. Maybe even use those Yondr pouches that some clubs have.

“Pure thing turns crude” is not a comedy formula I like so I’ll be avoiding the Ted show.

Just out of curiosity was there any validity to the Harold and Kumar rumor last year? Is Ted an evolution of the idea?

Pop culture references, being a fish out of water at a spooky event, Florida-State humor, PG-13 innuendo.

I'll be blunt (zing): If Ted can't liberally reference weed or drop F-bombs, it's not worth doing. It'll completely neuter the character, and you don't have the murder/over-the-top violence threats that Chucky could fall back on.

I mean if Disney was able to make the cocaine/weed, adult language speaking, murder machine work for Disney's California Adventure--why can't Universal make the Bear with The Mouth work at HHN?

Because, historically, Universal has not allowed the use of the F-bomb in any of their shows, including Bill and Ted. Someone can correct me if they eased up in the show’s final years, but I recall weed references were contained to wink-wink euphemisms more than the outright comedic discussions of specific strains that typically come out of Ted’s mouth.

And that kind of thing has always annoyed me with theme park haunts… intense gore in the scarezones and haunted houses are perfectly fine but swearing or references to substances in shows is a no no. It’s just ridiculous censorship. If people can handle gore then there’s no reason they shouldn’t be able to handle profanity. I really enjoyed the Revenge of Chucky zone from 28 but it felt weird not hearing Chucky swearing especially since he’s a character with a colourful vocabulary
