Halloween Horror Nights 35 (UOR) - Speculation & Rumors

[theuberguberman]

Regardless of personal opinions on the ending of ST, Fear Street has been done for years and the time for that passed. Prom Queen (from what I heard) was pretty universally disliked.
If we were to look at this from a general public/crowd demand and financial aspect, ST makes a LOT more sense. The merch prints money and it's the last shot to have that at the event where it's still considered timely. A much larger crowd watched the finale than will ever watch Fear Street (despite the original trilogy being popular regardless). Plus, to have all the other ST seasons and not 5 would be weird.
Again, this is taking into consideration that ST isn't actually even an official rumor. Fear Street is even less so.

As for my personal opinion that no one asked for lol:
I don't think the end of ST was THAT bad. I overall found it to be a satisfying conclusion for most of the characters, and I'm even ok with the open-endedness near the very end. I just think there were a lot of details that could've been tweaked or addressed for a more impactful ending. The first half of season 5 was where I had more issues, and it was primarily in pacing and the writing of the dialogue, but that's also coming from my bias of being a writer with a love of dialogue lol

Tl;Dr: It was aight.

Prom queen came out last year, they still could do it.

And it tanked terribly - it was my biggest disappointment last year lol

You know there is a saying, you get what you get and you don’t pitch a fit. Be happy what you have

I'll pitch a fit if I want to. People do it all the time here for less legit reasons. My point was - Ozzy was the first rumor from an actual credible source (@Legacy ) which is the only reason I got excited. For this to be scrapped in favor of HMH - well, that's just stupid. Practically everyone on the planet knows who Ozzy was and he has millions of fans still mourning his passing. Outside of Orlando and the people who travel to HHN Orlando, who else knows what HMH is?? Logically, that move would make ZERO sense.

I mean, just because it doesn't happen does not mean it was "scrapped". Even from people who are generally reputable in this community, there are always rumors every year that do not end up being real. It is more likely that HMH was confused for Ozzy somehow.

I mean, do they? I've lost track of our "days since a fit was pitched" tracker, but I don't think it happens that often.

Until it's formally announced, i'm taking the rumor to mean Heavy Metal Hell featuring a soundtrack by way of Black Sabbath//Ozzy OR Ice Nine Kills. I'd prefer the former, but I'd understand the latter.

My questions for @hunnylvr would be:
-Would you be happy to have Ozzy represented at the event in any capacity?
-What is it about Black Sabbath//Ozzy's music that wouldn't fit right in with a full-house-treatment for Heavy Metal Hell?

To answer those questions myself, i think anyone would be delighted to hear that Ozzy is going to be a soundtrack feature at an event of this caliber.
The alternative being:

I also think the theoretical overlap of imagery represented in a Heavy Metal Hell house would be SO similar to an idealistic Black Sabbath house that the ONLY differentiating factor I can think of would be the color palette and even that is a stretch because it's about more than the name and not everything should just be BLACK.

Let's compare the two concepts thematically. We have...
Hell...
Demons...
Witchcraft...
Skeletons...
Frickin Bats...

What would a Black Sabbath House have that couldn't possibly be represented in a Heavy Metal Hell house that distinguishes it so significantly? And furthermore... Would the general audience attending HHN notice or care?
The only thing i can think of is for Ozzy to literally be the sole focus of the house like THE WEEKND...
AND Idk... I don't personally want that. I'd prefer the way SLASH has collaborated with USH.

To each their own, but i'd rather have something and have it be sincere, than have nothing at all or something that really doesn't make sense. Heavy Metal Hell by way of Ozzy Osbourne makes perfect sense thematically and would be a fun way to celebrate the music he helped create.
