Halloween Horror Nights 2025 (USH) - Speculation & Rumors

[Wishmaster]

ETBH 2 is gonna be good. This will potentially a special year if the spec map is completely true.

Legacy just said this on the HHN 365 discord server:

"WWE next week… F13 at Spooky Empire…"

"WWE next week… F13 at Spooky Empire…"

Joe Bob Briggs & Darcy will be at Spooky Empire

Would be hilarious if Murdy announced Terror Tram being "Joe Bob's Last Drive-In" themed

But also weird flex to announce F13 at Spooky when nobody affiliated with the franchise is on the guest list (unless I overlooked it).

Eitherway, bring on the announcements.

Not to keep beating a dead horse but FNAF isn't included on the website when you go to “see all haunted houses” Also not included in this (yet)



I think theres something more to this experience than a typical house.

Or... it was announced earlier than it was supposed to be, and tedious legal agreements and marketing reasons prevent them from coming out and saying it's a house, even though Murdy all but said it's a house in IGN article on the Fallout reveal.

I really like the stained glass window aesthetic - and the merch idea is cute for locals.

Look... ugh. I'm so tired of this conversation lol. The FNAF announcement Sunday was a last minute thing. That was not scheduled or planned till very very late into the game. So yeah, of course it's still not on the websites or merch isn't out yet. They'll put it out when the more formal announcement and teaser gets released. Do not expect anything beyond a typical HHN house experience for FNAF.

FNAF is on the website though and is listed as a maze? At least it was when I looked earlier when the website first went live.

Guys…..they’re not going to make a total show out of something that will be anything less than a house, especially if it will be the main draw of the event and it is the first announcement of the year.

Also the IGN article straight up talked about Jim Hensen working on the effects for it! What more do y’all need it’s a house?

 

[chris.g]

It’s clear FNAF is cancelled. Cmon now.

Willy’s Wonderland house is gonna be lit! Can’t wait for Nicholas Cage to crack open an energy drink and jump out like he’s gonna punch me!

 

[DTH]

FWIW (probably nothing) but I checked again, and it’s no longer in the Houses portion. It was after Fallout in this portion of the website and also had the “just announced” banner:

I know there is a lot more legal reasons that go into the announcement order, but next week is an actual Friday the 13th and would make such more sense for the F13 drop.

Joe Bob Briggs & Darcy will be at Spooky Empire

Dude i would love a Joe Bob's Last Drive in Tram but I fear they are considered too niche for what Universal goes for. I also wonder if they would have to promote Shudder which Peacock probably would not appreciate. That being said, they could have so much fun making up original drive in themed movies for each segment. Joe Bob and Darcy will also be at Midsummer Scream so we can always dream

Crash course breakdown:

You check-in. You'll fill out a paper. Can't remember if they do the measurements before or after. But you wait until your number is called for the group session.

You spread out & act like a monster going after its prey, culminating in "the kill" (don't cross the line, don't touch the cones, don't touch each other. Be aware of your space & yes, you can react to others in character)

Then you line up & do the solo scare, which is nerve-wracking. Again, dont touch the cones (aka guests).

You'll line up again infront of the panel of judgment who decide your fate. One by one you will "die", BUT it can't be the same way as those who went before you (its less pressure if youre one of the first 5 to die)

THEN they'll kick you out of the room for the anxiety session while you wait for them to decide your fate. Someone will come out & start calling out numbers of those who "made the cut"

IF you make the cut, it means you're good enough & they liked what they saw. However, it does NOT mean you have been cast.

You will do a quick interview if selected & then be released to wait forever to get a casting email if you get cast for a role.

Hope that helps.

Haven't they said before not to put this information out there? I remember the audition team saying something along the lines of not telling anyone in the future to prevent people from over-preparing for it (which ruins the playing field and fun of the audition).

No. The audition process has more or less been the same for years. Also, for people doing it for the first time, it helps mentally prepare them for what they'll be walking into

Its no different than preparing for an important exam

I don't think you can really over prepare for this kind of audition. They tend to switch up some of the exercises, anyway.

I'm just telling y'all what I remember hearing before going into it when I first auditioned back in 2022 and then again in 2023. (I got through both times.) They want it to be quick thinking, knowing what you're doing going into it kills that entirely.

by that logic, doesn’t that hamper every single person who auditions for a second time? i just don’t think it’s that deep.

I mean, the public and official "lifeatush" account literally just posted audition tips, so I really think this is a non-issue.

I'm aware. They posted tips and not what goes on in every step of the process. They're not revealing what goes on inside. Just to point that out.

You're overthinking this, man. As I've said, they change up the exercises, so recounting what happens in a previous session isn't even indicative of what could be asked of someone in a future one. Pointing out that they're going to assign you a number, take measurements, and ask you to "scare" and be in control of your body for a scare acting job isn't proprietary information.
