Fear2010 Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 (edited) Looking back at the spec map with the guitar and lighting bolt, Mark posted a video of David Bowie’s “Space Oddity” on Discord whose imagery was iconic for his lighting bolt face paint, was also a guitarist other than a singer-songwriter, and even had multiple space projects. Almost sounds like an original concept inspired by the Ziggy Stardust album, but it‘s starting to sound like he was making a reference to the Dead Space games. If it were to happen this year, then not only It would technically mean two video game IP’s, but also a backup to the Alien franchise.

Fear2010 Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Apparently, everyone is talking about an eleventh house again cause Mark is hinting about it on Discord. I’d would accept it if they improve the staff, which was a big issue last year, but that would mean more problems with the crowds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinfear Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 And supposedly Invasion! could return as a house too. I’m curious to how this will be with crowds this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fear2010 Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Not surprised about an Invasion house being rumored. The Alien Scientist came back at 30 in the Lights, Camera & Hacktion zone, and at last year in the Hellblock House respectively. Plus we really do need more of the 50’s campiness like Bugs and Cleaver. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fear2010 Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 There’s been rumors floating around about some type of announcement for next week. I’m guessing that they’ll start showing the dates for us and sell the tickets like what Legacy said on Discord. As for when they will reveal the next house, I’m thinking May again with the Monsters like last year. But if they decide to do it sooner for this month, so we don’t have to wait for too long, then I’m gonna be pleasantly surprised. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fear2010 Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 With their Nighttime show ending soon, what does it mean for this year’s HHN? Will we still get a Lagoon type of experience, something else, or just one only with Nightmare Fuel? https://www.insideuniversal.net/2023/03/universala-cinematic-celebration-officially-ends-at-universal-studios-florida-new-nighttime-show-planned/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinfear Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 If the Last Of Us comes to HHN this year, I could see them announcing it like next week as the season finale is Sunday night. But we’ll see I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fear2010 Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 At this rate, I’m hoping they’re working on a newer version for the Lagoon show while keeping the HHN version. They could be pulling out the damage from the hurricane or update it as some sort of opportunity. As for any new hints from Legacy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fear2010 Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Turns out the houses that are in development might be codenamed after IP’s. As an example we could have Killer Klownz again or an original concept with clowns that is codenamed after the movie and novel It. Demon Slayer could be either be a reference to Japanese Creatures or Evil Dead Rise whose main character of the franchise is known for slaying demons.

Fear2010 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Not holding my breath on the MIB tent coming back as an eleventh house cause all the permits were already filled, but what I’m expecting over there is that they’re changing the queue lines and exits with the large portion of the Kidzone area now gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fear2010 Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 No house announcements, but a lot of good stuff are dropped, including the dates, the single day tickets, Universal Express, The RIP tour, The Behind-The-Screams Tour, The “See You In Fog” tagline, newer merchandise, and a new hint that says “The Legend Is Real.” I actually think they’re referring to the next house that will be announced soon with the Monsters. Phantom is a legend in both literature and film. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fear2010 Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 (edited) One of the permits are related to the tents that is half the size of what it is usually, does that mean they’re changing the house locations while retaining the total of ten?

Sinfear Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Supposedly, there is a rumored original music-based house. HHN 365 and Legacy have mentioned it and I really hope this happens and has voodoo/mardi gras themes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fear2010 Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 (edited) Robert Johnson pioneered a sub genre of Blues called Delta Blues, and he’s also on the 27 Club list along with Rolling Stones’ Brian Johns, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, The Doors’ Jim Morrison, Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain, and most recently Amy Winehouse. Maybe we’ll get some house announcements on the 27th this month and later. Edited April 17, 2023 by Fear2010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinfear Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 I’m torn on the Exorcist coming this year. I understand it’s the 50 year anniversary for the movie this year, but this isn’t an IP I’m particularly excited for. I guess we’ll have to wait and see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fear2010 Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Most won’t agree with me on this. I wouldn’t mind the upcoming reboot trilogy getting represented at the event; just not entirely cause that would be too much of a spoiler for me as a movie watcher. It should be more an American Werewolf In London type of return but with a new ending scene or two as a preview, and keep it as an Orlando exclusive. Hollywood already had its turn.

Sinfear Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Spec map v2 is out for Orlando now. I think I lile v1 more bit there are some interesting bits in v2’s map. I am intrigued with the original houses, Universal Monsters and The Last Of Us I do like seeing on there again, especially it being based on the game. I am indifferent to The Exorcist and Demon Slayer though. Exorcist is an IP I don’t care too much about, I do enjoy the original movie but I wouldn’t call it one of my favourites and I don’t like anime, so I’d probably put Demon Slayer in last if I had to make a hype list.

Fear2010 Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 (edited) Some thoughts on what’s rumored so far. Demon Slayer: Animation in general is a very challenging medium to translate into a haunted house. But if it turns out to true whether if it works by execution or not, It’d still be massive and crowd-pleasing for newer attendees (See the Weeknd). The Last of Us: I’m guessing they’re having trouble getting the rights of the TV series, and going with the games instead as a back up. I think that’d be more incredible and (no pun intended) infected. Universal Monsters In Paris: I’m hoping it’s only the Phantom of The Opera and the Hunchback of The Notre Dome as a mash up. At this rate, Dracula is the most overrepresented in recent years, and it’d be too force to bring him back. Medieval House: This is interesting cause it sounds a lot like it coulda happened years ago but surprisingly didn’t. There’s a lot of things you could do with that. The Devil Emoji: This one is rumored to be a music themed house inspired by Blues legend Robert Johnson who is on the 27 Club list and the urban legend story about him selling his soul to the devil. The Exorcist: See my previous post. Circus tent with smoke: Clowns spreading out with laughing gas? The town with a church: I’m hoping for a proper witch house unlike last year. Top Secret: I’m hoping for something that is genuinely exciting and interesting rather another Blumhouse compilation.

Fear2010 Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 (edited) There’s been some talks about Jack coming back (again) sooner that what we’re expecting to cement him further as a mascot other than being marketable and promoting Horror Unleashed at Vegas. If it were to happen, then it could mean the Icons are getting their own house series like the Monsters, and they don’t have to be icons again for the event, so the IP’s can be first and foremost in the market cause we know they are. I call that a double win for the fans and the masses. So many potential that you could with them; I have always want a Jack origins house to show his backstory, and speaking of that, Chance needs that cause that’s what she lacks. I wanna know how she became who she is, and how she first met Jack. Edited May 2, 2023 by Fear2010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinfear Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 I’d be happy to see the Icons getting their own houses again. Even though I started going to the event in 27, I personally would rather see the event go back to Icons being the focus rather than IPs. Obviously that won’t happen, as the IPs bring in the big bucks, but at least there’s a possibility of the Icons sort of coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
