    Legacy mentioned this on Twitter, It sounds a lot like he was referring to Scream, and I’m sadly not surprised about it at all. It’s a Holy Grail we need, but it still remains untouchable. It’s also seems like he is not expecting a Netflix house next year too like we’ve had discussed before. 

    It was either Scream or The Conjuring. Haven't gotten clarification yet, but Universal has been after both these IPs for years.

    Yeah, during the early prediction phase of 31, some of things I was predicting before I was right were the traditional aspects of Halloween along with returns of the Pumpkin Lord and Michael Myers, and also another showdown house for some of the Monsters. I think this year’s early speculation for 32 had brought us more to talk about possible IP’s and even some names in music, since things have gotten less worse and more manageable with the pandemic despite Its continuation cause there were some things fans don’t normally say and think after the event. 

    Great minds think alike lmao. The overall Halloween theme, Michael Myers returning, Universal Monsters, and Pumpkin Lord somehow being involved were some of my earliest predictions

     

    Universal has already lost a white whale IP for 2023, unfortunately. There's another IP that might have been dropped in Hollywood but not in Orlando. Everything's a little muddy right now, so it's hard to tell what's truly going on.

    I wouldn't expect any Netflix IPs for a while. Netflix wants the most money it can get when distributing its IPs to outside companies. Netflix is very hard to work with when it comes to merch because they want a majority of the profit. 

     

    Stranger Things has been getting its own experiences since 2020. They're getting better and more popular every year. Netflix literally doesn't need HHN when they can create their own experiences and make more money in the process. Stranger Things is probably off the table until it simmers down in popularity after the release of Season 5.

     

    Fear Street was one of the IPs Universal went after for 2022, but the reason it was dropped is kind of unknown. My guess is that the popularity of the series had dropped so much that Universal didn't see the point in bringing it to the event. So Fear Street is probably off the table unless Netflix releases a new film or even a new trilogy.

     

    Wednesday is probably one of the only obtainable Netflix IPs that is gaining in popularity by the day. Yes, it is technically a Netflix IP, but I'm pretty sure Universal would have to negotiate the rights with MGM as they own the Addams Family and are a distributor of the Wednesday series. But I would imagine Netflix would try to step in and cause Universal to drop the IP.

    How has The Addams Family not been at Horror Nights?!?! I know we can't go with the new Wednesday show because it's a Netflix show, but it's still insane that there hasn't been a single Addams Family house at Horror Nights

    Netflix isn't really in the picture when trying to negotiate rights for Wednesday. MGM owns the Addams Family and the new Wednesday series.

    Silence of the Lambs was planned for 30 in 2020 but was dropped due to the rights becoming messy. I feel like that could've been due to the rightsholder wanting very specific things that Universal refused to do. Lambs almost showed up again in 2021 to replace Eilish, but I'm assuming a similar situation happened in 2020. For 2022, it seems like they didn't even go after it at all. 2023 could be a different situation, but we just don't know yet.

    I've also been notified about Hollywood getting an exclusive house, but the clarification as to if it's an IP or OG is being held as a secret.

    I remember seeing that they were building new Soundstages way off toward the edge of the property. Like, pretty dang far from the Lower Lot. They could knock down the super old Soundstages directly next to SNW, but those have so much history behind them.

     

    JPLand21 suggested a while back that Universal should purchase the Golf Course next to the Lower Lot for either a brand-new park or for the current park's expansion. Concept art for a hotel did come out not too long ago, so that could mean Universal is wanting to turn Hollywood into an actual resort one day.

     

    Also, I'm fairly certain that the KKFOS, Scarecrow, and Legends Collide tents will remain up. Construction for this year started way back in February, so I see it beginning in 2023 somewhere around that time. Possibly March.

    Will we be able to change our profile pics and wallpapers in 2023? What about the number of our posts? Will that still increase?

     

    Also, will a spec thread for HHN 33 be added when the time comes or will the 32 spec thread be the last one?

    I don't fear HHN ever going family-friendly. Yes, I do want the event to be mostly edgy/R-rated/teenage and adult-oriented/gory. I want the event to have all of that. But with all the horror and goriness, I want something that's light-hearted and different. Something that is almost like a break from the horror. That's where Ghostbusters, Killer Klowns, Beetlejuice, Scooby-Doo, Casper, Munsters, Addams Family, and Gremlins come into play. 

     

    Yeah, I get Grinch will NEVER happen. I really don't appreciate some people telling me why it's never gonna happen. Like, I'm very aware as to why it won't happen lol and I know I'll never get the Grinch.

     

    Gremlins has been talked about for years. Eventually, it'll happen. 

     

    I know the people at IU are not gonna believe me, but Universal did try to get Scooby-Doo for this year. Murdy has already stated multiple times that he'd love to do a Scooby-Doo house.

    From my experience with the soundstages, not only they were the home of the grand scale houses, but also have the most film production material for certain settings and effects that are either impossible or hard to use for other locations. Elm Street and the Exorcist were the best IP’s for the locations as an example, and while I did enjoyed TCM last year. But I would argue the 2003 remake would have been more fitting as the soundstage house than the original, and maybe better than it was at 17. Leatherface’s two storied home is big and immersive enough to be a well-detailed facade again. 

    Body Collectors: Recollections, Dead Man's Pier and Carnival Graveyard are quite literally the best Soundstage houses I've walked through. Maybe even the best Soundstage houses ever. They were literally on a different scale and I would classify them as the "perfect HHN house". I don't think I've ever been as immersed in a haunted experience as I have with those three.
