Miramax owns the rights. They reverted to them (from Dimension) in 2015. So yes, it can stop Universal from doing Halloween 2018. Blumhouse simply co-financed the film. Universal distributed.
So, even though Blumhouse was the creative lead, it's not their personal Play-Doh, and Universal's seat in this discussion is at the kids' table. Universal tried to do 2018 this year and Miramax wouldn't play.
Universal could do Halloween 4 because Miramax has no claim to that film.
I also heard that there are new rights issues that would prevent any future use of the John Carpenter 1978 Halloween film from future HHNs.. Is there any truth to that rumor?

Guaranteed this means one of two things..
1. Universal is testing the viability of a Hollywood version of Unmasking The Horror tours for future HHNs..
2. Universal is testing the viability of Stranger Things as a year round IP/attraction ala TWD for the future.. Start by testing how non-HHN guests react to seeing this IP during daytime USH.. -
Out of the rumored IPs, Universal Classic Monsters is the one I'm looking forward to the most.. this will no doubt be Murdy's baby...

The thing (no pun intended) I’m concerned about is if one of those “originals” is just a copy of the UCM house Hollywood is getting, or at very least a near-copy that lacks that special A&D twist (like, as I keep mentioning and hopefully for, Bloodengutz).
I could easily see both versions of the UCM maze containing twists to them..

A SINGLE maze based on "The Evolution/History or a Timeline of Horror" would actually be pretty cool too. 1 Section with all the Classics, a time machine sort of transition, then the next section with all the slashers, then another with all the new horror figures.
It'd be both a great HHN maze AND it'd be a great dark ride for USH.. kinda like the USH answer to Disneyland's Haunted Mansion

Agree.
And to add to this, hopefully they drop the IP #s next year and only use EXISTING IPs.
Agreed! The delays on both sides are nothing short of infuriating.. (Hollywood fan here)

Then I will put on my tentative face and hope you are right. But assuming you are correct and the higher up at Uni want it to return once they have a new venue, you would at least think that they would have at least made allusions to the idea they could come back. You know, like "Following in the footsteps of Kiss, the Wyld Stallions are announcing their Farewell Tour".
If they do in fact leave for 2-3 years, that might be long enough for the GP and younger people to forget about them.
Yes!! I love KISS but let's be honest, they're trying to set the record for the longest-running farewell tour in music history.. so it's possible B&T return when a new theater happens

Is that the Uber Fan connection?
That would be the ultimate, ULTIMATE mind-screw.. for years, Murdy has said not only would he never do another Orlando character following Jack and Director (Usher rumors from 2013 not withstanding), but he'd never create a maze where multiple IPs were represented.. So if Uber Fan was Titans of Terror/All Nite Die In, Uber Fan in this case would mean people who know both events so well and they'd either remember going through or hearing stories of the All Nite Die In maze from HHN 2003 where all of the Big 4 slashers were represented..

so the 2003 all night die in [ i swear im the only one who get's the reference ]
I get it too.. "The Nightmare Killer", "The Hockey Mask Killer", "The Shatner Mask Killer" and "The Chainsaw Killer" were all in that maze as their films were being "remade" by The Director and we walked through the drive-in theater where they lurked..

Anyone know the location of the tent? I saw the JP queue was cleared out last weekend, but so was the backlot area.
I may be there this weekend and will check
It's the Revenge of the Mummy extended queue.

I agree, it would definitely be a good change up from recent years. I just have this awesome vision of a Scarecrow(z) TT and one of the roads being lined on either side with scarecrows and you don't know which ones are real (like the "Boogieman Never Dies" scene from the Halloween maze 2 years ago). Although I'm also loving the idea of a Titans of Terror TT, which could also make for a fun entrance scare zone
Yes, a Scarecrowz Terror Tram would be awesome.. and yes, Titans of Terror TT would be pretty rad!

Mike was retweeting something a friend of his said - his friend had arrived in NY and due to jet lag couldn't get to sleep and watched a favorite horror film set in NY. Mike just retweeted it and said "Wonderful". He approved of the film choice and it likely has nothing at all to do with HHN.
Inferno is a Dario Argento film that has some scenes in Rome, but mostly takes place in NY. It is his follow up to Suspiria and is the second film in the Three Mothers trilogy. The first two films are true classics and are quite wonderful.
But it took Argento over a two decades to finally make part three: The Mother of Tears which was quite frankly a huge disappointment.
Nevertheless a house based on either Suspiria or Inferno would be quite amazing, but I fear those cult films are just not well known enough by the general public for him to ever get approval. A long shot at best.
Suspiria would make one hell of a 3D maze with Argento's bright, saturated color scheme

Let's kick off the speculation for HHN 2017, shall we?
First code name: Lemonade

We have our first codename: Lemonade

BTW A&D didn't want to do Dracula Untold... It was forced upon them(same with Hollywood)
Yup.. I had to laugh at Murdy's tweet when discussing the maze
"Chris and I decided on this film when it was just a script".. Yeah right, sure you did...-

What if we just make our own B&T, gather people in front of the Animal Actors Stage and just start acting it out? lmao
Yes! Like the Rocky Horror shadowcasts.. Let's create our own B&T show!

not famous enough.
as far as metal and popularity goes I think they should do a house based on Slipknot. Slipknot is probably one of the biggest metal bands of the last decade, everyone knows who they are or at least recognizes their masks. their music is played on mainstream radio and their concerts are very big. I can't think of any other recent band that would be as big and that would have the theatrics for a house (besides maybe Rob Zombie)
Im not even saying that as a slipknot fan or im not hoping they do a house on them because i love them or anything, I haven't really liked their last 2 cds and i dont listen to them often.
But their masks and their music videos and their theatrics would translate very easily for a house. visually they already resemble characters from a haunted attraction and the sets would be easy to do just following their music videos. I think Universal could have a popular house if they tried to get the rights for ahouse. (they could even sell the masks at the stores and make money that way as well)That's great.. but what does Corey Taylor think of a possible Slipknot maze? LOL (Sorry, I couldn't resist!)

I don't know when it's coming out, But I fully expect them to cash in on Max Landis' reboot of his father's movie: American Werewolf in London.
The minute I read about the movie being remade by Landis' son, my first thought was "Does this mean it comes back to both HHNs?"
-
American Horror Story: Asylum/Coven/Roanoke - A total given.
Scream - I have a feeling we MAY see this finally, given the heavy slasher content this year.. How do you follow the Big 4? With the last man standing aka Ghostface..
Hellevator OR Channel Zero - both shows with possible HHN connections, Hellevator being a Jason Blum IP and Channel Zero being a SyFy show and thinking NBCUniversal wants synergy between this show and HHN next year.
Conjuring OR Insidious 4 - Both popular horror franchises, one of which is an HHN staple, but with that being said, I'm sure Conjuring is a bit more likely..
Classic Monsters - Because why not? They may do a synergy maze with whichever Classic Monsters remake comes out next ala Dracula Untold.. OR Murdy finally gets his wish to do a traditional Chaney/Lugosi/Karloff-era Universal Monsters maze..

Not really, but it was cool for everyone behind the scenes. I'll post some pictures after Saturday
Hopefully this is slowly nudging us towards getting our face characters/talking characters back after 2014's incident..

Yeah, I see (Ash vs.) or Evil Dead as a big possibility, especially since it's getting a third season already.
Also, next year is the last season of MTV's Scream, so if there's any chance of that franchise coming back, it's now!
You know what? I have a feeling 2017 MAY be the year we end up seeing Scream done right, all 4 movies, Ghostface etc.. the whole she-bang.. Ghostface is the only slasher that hasn't had his star shine properly at the event and with this year being such a heavy slasher year, it would make sense for them to follow it up with the last man standing..

Pepper was in the Hollywood maze.. The actress who played her even got a photo with the Mannequin of Pepper on opening night. And Dot and Bette were in the audience of Chester's scenes.

We've seen the Die-In IPs get their own mazes several times.. unless you mean Die-In 2..
