HHNGuy27

Fear2010 has something that I think you'll very much enjoy!

I noticed a lot of similarities between Terror Underground (HHN V) and the rumored Underground Creatures house (Descendants of Destruction) for the longest time. I predicted that it could be like a soft reboot and it kind of was. So, this leads me to believe that this may be the start of rebooting older houses from earlier years. I would say 2005 and older.

The show building is bigger than Revenge of the Mummy's show building. They could easily create a Fast and Furious indoor roller coaster. Or they could replace Supercharged with something new and re-theme HRRR to Fast and Furious lmao.

I was referring to Orlando lol. I don't attend Hollywood.

I'm curious to see how the house locations differ next year. I don't expect F&F to return, but it's there if they ever want to increase the house count. SS 23A, SS 23B, SS 24A, SS 24B, MIB Tent, B-79, B-108, Sprung 1, and Sprung 2 are the obvious locations that will return. Just don't know where they will put the 10th house. Could be SS 22 again, the new 'flex space' inside the new Minion attraction, or the least likely location: F&F. The 11 houses rumor/spec is popping up again, so it'll be interesting to see how it plays out.

I've got quite a few IPs I'd like to see at HHN. Some will probably never happen though lol. They Live Pumpkinhead Friday the 13th Outlast Scooby-Doo Jaws Creepshow Thirteen Ghosts Casper Alien Metallica A Nightmare on Elm Street Willy's Wonderland Scream Hereditary Megadeth Terrifier Hellraiser A Quiet Place The Munsters Creep Return of the Living Dead The Thing

Why do I feel like 32 will be similar to 24? No icon and no theme whatsoever. Universal could go back to the 80's theme, but I think they're somewhat done with that. A 90's theme would be amazing.

I would love to see Terrifer as a house. Such an underrated movie and it's genuinely creepy.

The Thing needs to happen one day. Can't believe we haven't seen the original film at the event yet. I know Halloween 6, H20, and Resurrection are regarded as the worst films of the Halloween franchise, but it would be cool to see different settings, Myers masks, and characters for once.

Resident Evil 7 would be a really cool house, but I don't think Universal is gonna tackle that IP for a while. The Last of Us TV series is on their radar, so maybe once Resident Evil gets an accurate movie/TV adaptation, we will see it. I feel Universal is scared to adapt the original source material of video games into haunted houses and would rather fall back on movie/TV adaptations.

Kind of late to the party, but I still think this house was criminally underrated.

I think this year is the most fun I've ever had at the event, and I will seriously miss it! But here are my rankings. House Ranking - I'm not gonna lie, some of these houses were hard to rank! 1. Descendants of Destruction - Set design is top-notch for a Sprung Tent and features some intense scares. The bioluminescent cave finale is one of the coolest scenes I've experienced in a haunted house! The devolved humans are designed perfectly and are genuinely creepy! I love the intensity of this house and it never slows down! HHN has created something really good and I hope they consider this house for designing intense houses! I would love to see this house win HOTY, but there's another one lower on my list that I think will win. The butcher scene, bioluminescent caves, and the subway trains throughout are what seal the deal for me! I fell in love with this house and wound up doing it 10 times! 2. Bugs: Eaten Alive - It's funny, it's gross, it's BUGS! But on a serious note, the 1950s Sci-Fi theme is awesome to me! The storyline is very intriguing and quite creative in my opinion. The set design is average, but the scares are unique and the house overall is very different from a typical HHN haunted house. I'm a sucker for anything 50's aesthetic, so this one was of course gonna rank high on my list. Did this one 10 times as well! 3. Universal Monsters: Legends Collide - VERY immersive as the set design is immaculate and is much more impressive than I thought it would be. The scares are hidden extremely well in there and slowly become more intense as you go further into Mummy's tomb. Also, that triple scare was crazy! An upgrade from Bride of Frankenstein Lives. 4. Dead Man's Pier - Wow. Just, wow. This house kind of felt like Carnival Graveyard with the open floor plan style, but I think this house does it a little bit better. It's atmospheric and immersive! The house itself isn't very scary, but the set design, audio design, and overall story make up for it. Let's just say, I was seriously in shock the entire time. Just the sheer scale blew me away. The ship scene with the girl playing the violin is probably one of the coolest scenes I've experienced in an HHN house! Even though it's number 4 on my list, it's HOTY material. 5. The Weeknd: After Hours Nightmare - This one genuinely shocked me! I had it at either number 9 or 10 on my hype list for the longest time, but it seriously proved me dead wrong. It's different from a typical HHN haunted house, which is cool. It can be kind of confusing if you're not familiar with The Weeknd or the music videos the house is based on. It's very strobe heavy, but it helps play into the storyline of the house! The mirror maze is trippy and can throw people off easily! The queue is probably one of the best HHN has had, due in part to the soundtrack. The sets are pretty good and the scares are pretty good as well! The frog creature scenes are probably my favorite. Would shock me if Dawn FM doesn't happen next year. 6. Halloween - I know many people have this ranked A LOT lower, but it was genuinely good! The Myers house facade halfway through was pretty impressive and the house, in general, is quite different compared to the 2014 version. There are some pretty cool scares in there and can get you REAL good if you're fixated on something else. It's Michael Myers galore, but it's still a lot of fun! The mirror maze at the end was a nice touch! 7. Hellblock Horror - I went into this thinking it was gonna be complete garbage, but it wound up being pretty good! There are so many different creatures in there and it was fun to point out creatures from the past HHNs! It was put together very quickly, but it seems Universal knew what they wanted and figured out how to create something fast. The set design is surprisingly good but feels a tad bit repetitive. The story, the scares, and the set design are all there, which makes it an awesome haunted house! 8. The Horrors of Blumhouse - This house is an upgrade from the past Horrors of Blumhouse, but my only problem with it is the location. Fast and Furious isn't the best location for a haunted house, as it seems there isn't enough space to work with. The Freaky section isn't bad. It has some pretty cool sets and creative/hidden scares. It just felt a little bit short. The Black Phone section was amazing! It's dark, long, and scary! The Grabber is a pretty cool character to come in contact with! I appreciate how the house is split into two, which makes it feel like two separate houses! 9. Fiesta De Chupacabras - The facade is insanely impressive! The set design and scares are immaculate in this, but it kind of falls flat. The characters are cool looking, but the lack of Chupacabra scares was very odd to me. The Chupacabra design is very cool and scary, but the original design they were going for is MUCH better than what we got. This house isn't bad at all in my opinion. Sure it may fall flat toward the end, but it is still a fun haunted house to walk through! 10. Spirits of the Coven - I like the story of this one! I love the prohibition era it's set in and does a great job of throwing you into that era. I always love when real history plays a role in the story of a haunted house. It starts pretty strong but evolves into a confusing mess. The first half is REALLY good, but the underground sections are kind of dull and confusing. It's surprisingly long for being in Soundstage 22. The witch queen at the end is pretty cool, but this house suffers due to the latter half of it. Again, this house isn't bad for me at all! It's still fun to walk through and offers an interesting experience! Scarezones - It was pretty hard to rank the zones this year! They're all really strong! 1. Sweet Revenge - The whole 1950's theme is what sold it to me. The 1950s music and costumes were crazy cool! The soundtrack is amazing as well. Just the whole vibe of this zone is crazy cool. 2. Scarecrow: Cursed Soil - It seems like the Central Park zones are getting better and better every year! So many different characters in this zone. The farmhouse alone is impressive and just the immersive feel of this zone is incredible! 3. Horrors of Halloween - What a cool zone to walk through first! Offers a sneak peek into this year's event and helps set the mood and overall theme of this year's event! Seeing the Pumpkin Lord and the neon sign again was awesome. 4. Conjure The Dark - This one surprised me! Kind of expected all the characters to be similar to each other, but they are vastly different. The soundtrack is amazing and the little stage show is cool! 5. Graveyard: Deadly Unrest - It has some really interesting characters and set pieces! A very atmospheric zone, it's kind of quiet and almost gives off a sad vibe. Overall, a really good zone! Shows 1. Ghoulish! A Halloween Tale - Of course, it's not as good as Marathon of Mayhem, but it was still a lot of fun! The soundtrack and visuals are amazing! 2. Halloween Nightmare Fuel Wildfire - It's very similar to last year's show, but it's still fun to watch. Overall, this year is amazing! I thought it was going to be hard for Universal to beat HHN 30, but they beat it! The houses and scarezones are very strong this year and are very different from each other! I loved the traditional Halloween theme and will seriously miss this year's event. Thank you to Universal for putting on an amazing year!

I'm more inclined to believe that The Weeknd will return next year. It's obviously a hit this year and Universal doesn't like to throw away big IPs that have sequels, multiple seasons, or in this case, multiple albums. The Weeknd: Dawn FM could work as a haunted house and would sell tickets like crazy. Could even have The Weeknd return in 2024 for his next album that might dive into the Afterlife. I don't know for sure if The Weeknd will be making a return, but it makes sense if he does.

Looks like I should add FNAF to my speculation list.

Not yet. The movie is a social commentary film. So that's probably why we haven't seen it. Most people don't go to a Halloween event to be reminded about stuff that is happening in the real world. I personally could care less if it ever comes to HHN cause all the Candyman movies are awful. I'd love to see Jeepers Creepers at the event, but the director's past keeps it from ever happening.

Next year is the 50th anniversary of The Exorcist. I know Universal doesn't really do IPs just based on anniversaries, but with the reboot coming next year, it lines up pretty well. The only problem I have with it is that Hollywood just had the original Exorcist last year. If it's the reboot that comes, then it works out. But I wonder if it would be an Orlando exclusive if it's the original. Dang, I said "if" a lot lol.

I hope Mark opens up the actual spec thread soon, cause some info is starting to come out.......

It is WAY too early to begin speculating for HHN 32, but I wanted to post a list of IPs that I think have a chance of coming. Let me know what you think! The Exorcist (2023 Reboot) Chucky Movie Franchise/TV Series What We Do In The Shadows Nope - It would be difficult to translate into a haunted house, but I feel Universal could pull it off Terrifier The Weeknd: Dawn FM The Last of Us TV Series - Would've had it this year if it hadn't been delayed to 2023 Thirteen Ghosts Silence of the Lambs They Live The Thing Tales From the Crypt Controversial IPs Scooby-Doo Casper (2023 Series) Lady Gaga Melanie Martinez The Addams Family

Could you make a desktop wallpaper for Bugs: Eaten Alive? I'd really appreciate it.

I like this line-up! I don't attend Hollywood's event, but it is a very strong line-up. Clowns 3D could be a sequel instead of a repeating maze, but it wouldn't surprise me with La Llorona coming back this year. Pretty sure Alien Vs Predator is off-limits because Disney now owns both IPs. The Exorcist was just featured at the event last year, so I highly doubt Murdy would want to repeat that maze. Blumhouse is working on an Exorcist reboot for 2023 and there is a pretty strong relationship between both companies. The Exorcist (2023) almost feels like a given as it's a way for Blumhouse to promote the new film. The next Universal Monsters maze will most likely follow Dracula, like maybe House of Dracula? Either way, I think you're correct about the next UM maze focusing on Dracula. Hazbin Hotel feels similar to Universal Horror Hotel, but I like the concept! I'm surprised AWIL hasn't made a return, as it won maze of the year in 2014 and is deserving of a return. I would say it's definitely on Murdy's radar.

What is taking so long?

Drop more wallpapers lol.

It'll probably be the same as last year. Legends Collide in Central Park and The Weeknd in the Animal Actors shelter. The queue route for The Weeknd is supposed to be different compared to past B108 houses. Your wish might come true as they may decide to use the Animal Actors bleachers to accommodate The Weeknd crowds during Stay and Scream.

Who is the bent neck lady?

To be honest, I didn't think the house was at all scary. When it was announced, I thought they were gonna make this house unbelievably terrifying. The sets were cool, the Yetis looked freaking amazing, and the cold really made this house awesome. This house is probably in my top 10 of all time. I think we need a Midnight Snack house in the future.
