I think a lot of HHN fans need to start having a moment where they realize that we’ve done it. We’ve done the grails. They’re almost all gone. We’ve done multiple Evil Dead’s, Texas Chainsaws, Halloweens, Elm Streets, Trick r Treats, Killer Klowns, Jasons, Saws, etc. We’ve driven into movies, we’ve done games, we’ve seen incredibly niche TV. We’re finally getting Hellraiser. Many of the ones left are either in rights-holder limbo or held up in other ways. At a certain point, it’s time to either get weird with the IPs, get incredibly niche, or drill repeats into the ground.
This isn’t the first “weird” IP and it won’t be the last. If your focus is on worrying about Universal chasing the bag, that’s your prerogative. Have at it. Hold that fire in your heart lol. But I’m here for giving the weirdness a shot each and every time.
