Halloween Horror Nights 35 (UOR) - Speculation & Rumors

[Andor]

and people kept asking for lady gaga at hhn and she's not that horror,

?????? i went to her most recent tour and it was a dark phantom of the opera esque masterpiece. so much horror elements

What does the Super Bowl have to do with HHN? There is zero correlation here, nor is the Super Bowl some kind of requirement to make it into HHN because Rob Zombie, Alice Cooper and Black Sabbath never performed in the Super Bowl...yet they all appeared at HHN.

Meanwhile, there is the rumor that Ice Nine Kills (a horror metal band) could be involved with the event this year, possibly via a soundtrack for one of the houses such as...Heavy Metal Hell. Kind of an odd time to be stating we will never see metal again at HHN.

Look, Bad Bunny's halftime show was fantastic and obviously a big hit at the Super Bowl. But just because there was an awesome performance somewhere does not mean Bad Bunny should work with the event, especially when they've had zero connection to what the event is about. I know I've been a champion that Horror is a very broad genre and comes in many different flavors...but this is a case where there is not even a sliver of mild horror here.

is ice nine kills famous enough for hhn Orlando?
I don't know, I barely knew of them,
I could see them at Hollywood

No shade (different strokes and all), but putting Metallica with some of the other band names on here is…. a choice haha.

I think folks here would certainly say a band like Metallica is at least on the table to eventually appear. Bridges the gap of mainstream and horror adjacent nicely, with about as much commercial success as you can have in that genre. Similar dynamic to the Weeknd in many ways. But many (most) pop artists dont really fit that mold.

I just came here to say: Ozzy. THAT would be the ultimate metal house since he actually created the genre. He has more material for a house than they could fit. Still hoping Legacy's original starting comment for this spec season has some weight to it.

As for Gaga - she has loads of dark material that would easily translate. I think its disingenous to write her off in such a way - especially when you're asking for Bad Bunny? Is he a great entertainer? Yes. Does he belong at HHN. No.

from what I can gather looking at different social media comments and the reddits and just from general conversation and just the general feedback that I see when music and hhn are mentioned,
i always get the feeling that hhn not only wants to work with the biggest and most hip acts in town, the most popular acts with teens, with the younger crowds,
sadly not only is metal on the decline in recent years, but young people aren't really into metal,
but universal Orlando has already skipped Ozzy Osbourne and Slash when universal California has them,
we literally could already have those here, but we never do. ( I'm actually surprised we even had rob zombie here and not just in California, felt like Rob zombie would have been a California only thing)

the superbowl thing is just a measure of success that is big enough for a band to be at hhn,

but what made me wonder about bad bunny for hhn Orlando was just that the scarezone or house based on him could be very strongly based on Puerto rico and Latinx stories, myths, his videos or music might not be horror, but it could have feature him and based on puerto rico legends.
that's how I was thinking. I know he's not a horror artist, but he could have cool ideas for hhn

The rumor is that they will be providing the score for a house, not that there will be a house based on them. There's an important distinction there.

but universal Orlando has already skipped Ozzy Osbourne and Slash when universal California has them,

Back when those houses occurred, the line-ups for Orlando and Hollywood differed from each other a lot more than they do now, so I wouldn't read too much into that.

It is Friday the 13th so you never know

And there will be another one in just 4 weeks..

None of this changes the reality that Bad Bunny is not associated with horror. Simply declaring "this celebrity/artist might have cool ideas for HHN" isn't enough to warrant speculation, or you could just bring up anyone popular.

"Why don't [Taylor Swift/Tom Cruise/Adam Sandler] do an HHN house? S/he's popular enough and might have ideas!" Do you see how nonsensical that sounds?

If Bad Bunny turns out an album with an undeniable horror aesthetic at some point, we can revisit this conversation, but otherwise, if you want to continue to talking about it, you need to take it to the wish list thread, or if you want to pitch a Puerto Rico Legends house concept, go for it in the design-an-HHN event thread.

I love February

Ice Nine Kills played at Hard Rock Live during HHN last year.

And I'll be blunt, you can't gather what a company wants unless they actually say it themselves. Believe you me, we all have opinions about companies, events and so forth. But the vast majority of us are not part of the company, so you are going down the wrong path if you think you can infer what a company wants from those are not part of it.

 

[RedRightDan]

New Legacy clue.

Sounds like some sort of horror host (HR Bloodngutz?), or B-Movie themed show.

Butch Patrick = Most know him for Eddie Munster of the Munsters...but he also co-hosted Macabre Theater.

Malia Nurmi = Also known as Vampira, who was the first television horror host.

Cassandra Peterson = We all know this wonderful lady as Elvira, Mistress of the Dark.

Joel Hodgson = Creator of Mystery Science Theater 3000.

All of them linked to hosting a horror show and or one of that kind of format. With it being an anniversary year, feels like a good time for H.R. Bloodngutz to return. Doesn't have to be a movie marathon, it could honestly be whatever show he comes up with, dude's probably had a lot of time to brainstorm in prison.

So the IP’s most likely are the book with fire, the skeletons dancing, hellraiser, ST, the jack in the box(?!?) and the matches. All of those icons appear on Orlando and hollywoods maps

F&F image looks to be Bloodngutz

Is SS 24B The Last of Us? Ehhhh I hope not but that’s a paw turned upwards instead towards 10 o clock like the Naughty Dog paw

Would be thrilled to have Bloodngutz back and I think it would work great in that location especially if they do the set up like how they had sweets.

I highly doubt the paw is the last of us cause they wouldn’t have it in Orlando and not Hollywood and the paw isn’t on Hollywoods map

Jack goes to Hollywood? He’ll beat the poop outta Hollywood Harry

 

[DonnieBoy]

So I’m guessing resident evil is gone

Also I’m guessing the book on fire is “It chapter 1”
Because of the poem—“January embers, my heart burns there too”

 

[Tobias]

Jack goes to Hollywood? He’ll beat the poop outta Hollywood Harry

In Hollywood, yes. But this is Orlando, Hollywood Harry ain't here.

 

[HHN Maddux]

I will flip if Sprung 1 is a Vanity Ball house.

And I know many are theorizing the skeletons dancing is Lady Gaga, but might I suggest...

 

[Viator]

I look at Sprung 1, and while I think the immediate thought of Vanity Ball is not a bad thing (as for why some people thought of that, it was noted early on HHN365)...

I wonder if they could be looking at doing their own crack, at honestly ***THE SUBSTANCE*** over that of Vanity Ball. Orlando taking ideas and concepts from other forms of media isn't exactly uncommon for them, and I can see the idea of makeup augmentation and transformation being an interesting idea of a Sprung house.

The ability to "Become your old self" for a cost would be a great story if applied in a way that made sense with HHN's lore and background.

 

[Tobias]

I would absolutely be down for a Vanity Ball house, there's a lot of potential there. (Plus another fab soundtrack!)

I too, am lamenting what seems like no Resident Evil on the map...but I also can't help but notice it seems like there's no more Heavy Metal Hell on the map either. Which makes the Dance Macabre clue all the more intriguing, since Heavy Metal Hell wouldn't be used if we have a GHOST house which would fulfill the metal theme in spades. Plus, I can absolutely see how rumors initially led to Heavy Metal Hell...when it could actually be a GHOST house. Metal and Hell are absolutely that bands M.O.

I am also quite happy still seeing the Pins a la' Hellraiser!
As for the burning book, Evil Dead Burn?

Finally, the paw print. I am genuinely hoping that is Canine/Lupine and not feline. Because unless they have a truly killer concept for it...a house of Cat Lady on Crooked Lane would be a total waste just a year after we experienced the all-timer of a zone. I want themes I haven't seen in a while, not stuff that's still fresh in my memory from last year.
