Halloween Horror Nights 2025 (USH) - Speculation & Rumors

[Jerroddragon]

Thursday is already essentially announcement day for most of the IP's. Also Murdy already does give 'hints' at what some of the IP's are but they're just so vague that you'd have no idea what they correlate to until the event opens. And that's how it should be because if he just gave some straight-foward clues, there'd be no excitement in the announcement for many as the mystery aspect would be gone.

FNAF is last for the very reason that you gave, its the big finale. Its the biggest IP we've had in years and they're going to make an absolute killing with merch sales no matter when they first release it. But they wouldn't dedicate a ton of FNAF merch for preview merch (probably just two pieces) since the point of preview merch is to just give a taste of what's to come.

I'm taking about announcing it so you can have a whole display with Merch for it
No Idea if it could get to the levels we saw the one piece merch go but if so getting it now would be a very smart move, thats all I'm saying

 

[Viator]

I'm curious if they'll randomly announce Poltergeist today like they did with Scarecrow yesterday

I think logistically, it'll probably be the big announcement as part of the Hollywood dump. Unless Return To The Blumhouse has anything surprising to it; and if the DreamWorks Theater experience is a surprise external IP (I keep thinking on Chainsaw Man, and the fact that they have HHN merch tied to it ready to go).

Also think there's a chance we get both Wyatt Sicks + FNAF announced tomorrow, but they announce both at separate points of the day (and don't drop merchandise for either and update the site until Friday morning).

I'm really ready for them to move on from Slash to essentially any other musical talent. I do think he's a good fit for HHN, but it's also been too much for too long. Give other musical artists a chance.

I'm still upset that for the all female house, they didn't go with a female musician. That would have been the perfect opportunity. Instead, more of the good 'ole boys club.

Maybe I’m too gen z, but Alex G is pretty much my number one dream house now that FNAF is actually happening.

 

[rageofthegods]

We should get Jane Schoenbrun to design an original house with an Alex G soundtrack.

 

[TheHaunter]

I just want a king diamond maze all of his albums are horror concept albums, and his music sounds really good in my opinion.

Not Surprises but I hope Black Phone 2 and Meagn 2 replace the first films....and having an Insidious section makes sense because they should still have some costumes and props from last year

I assume Purge will be pretty much the same and thats fine anyway the plane set is always cool to walk through

Then maybe in the finale room Baby face and freaky can show up along with the grabber and what not

 

[Legacy]

I don’t know who any of those people are.

Murdy confirms the Monster break.

 

[DTH]

Technically just confirmed Slash is not collabing on Universal Monsters. Not that the event itself is breaking from Universal Monsters..........there easily could still be a UCM scarezone or something.

You gotta check out I Saw The TV Glow man.

I doubt they'd do a Silver Scream Queenz as a "Standalone" concept for a scarezone. And I still highly think Chainsaw Man *is* the DreamWorks Theater show.

Honestly--wait till next year for the 20th anniversary, and do something fun with it for the Tram.

 

[Freak]

They could theoretically still do Universal Monsters for the DWT show.

I feel like for DreamWorks Theater, we would've had to of known actor hirings for around the same time as they did Purge.

If memory serves (can be mistaken), they did auditions for Chucky in June last year; and Dancers for M3GAN for June of 2023. Can't help but think it'd be too late for anything in DWT to have actors onboard.

Chainsaw Man would be cheap, and it would only really need to be a matter of localizing from Crunchyroll and importing the merchandise from Japan to here. I have to think a cheap option would make a lot of sense (also helps that Chainsaw Man's popular enough for Osaka to bring it back for 2025).

Not a great example of why he’d work at HHN but this just dropped and it’s great

EDIT:
SDOS
Kute
Judge
Black hair
Witch

You could probably make a house out of these songs

 

[rageofthegods]

Look, realistically, Alex G doesn't have a snowball's chance in Sarasota of coming, at least not yet (his last album reached only #32 in the charts - in Scotland). He has a growing fanbase but he's not yet at the same level of ubiquity as previous music artists that have been represented as standalones.

*But* - he's a great artist, he has his cult, and I think his music would fit with another IP/generic horror concept. If HHNH ever brings over e.g. Blood Moon or El Artista, his style of atmospheric, moody electronic music would really fit.

For now, I would think of him like Figure. He wouldn't be the standalone draw just yet, but he plusses up a concept. And if he does end up exploding at some point, then all the better to have already established a working relationship.

Eh, feels like part of the reason he comes back so much is that, beyond the fact that he's a genuine music legend, he doesn't seem to mind writing a song for a theme park event every year and he sets his fee low enough to let HHN use him year after year. I would like e.g. Gaga to come at some point, but this was a clear budget sacrifice house and at the very least they're doing something to differentiate it.

we need Kim dracula

Saw it. Loved it. Don’t remember the specifics.

He did the soundtrack! The song for the Planetarium scene is in my regular rotation.
