The Horrors of the Wyatt Sicks (HHN 34)

[RGMick77]

As Mike says here, it’s probably a good idea for non-fans to think of it as an original house.

0% WWE fan but super interested to see what this is like, nonetheless

The character they chose to put front and center for the stained glass window merch is a really touching tribute. That character, The Fiend, was one of Bray Wyatt's main personas before he passed.

Second. I wanted to point out that Jason Baker did the design for all of the Wyatt's current costumes. He also did the design for the mask in The Black Phone, and came from the Tom Savini school.

If we get some more of his influence in this house, it will have some really cool design elements at the very least. That's a big reason why it's high on my list.

Spoiler: Neat if true.

Spoiler: If true.

Spoiler: And it may only apply to Hollywood.

Spoiler: Again, if true.

A few months back I was told Jason Baker designed masks of OTHER WWE personas (including Undertaker) for inclusion in the house as a way to amp up the “nightmarish” aspect of Bray’s mind.

But, again, I cannot speak to the veracity of that.

That goes along with rumblings I heard as well. That's why I wanted to make sure he was on people's radars, and was mentioned here.

Still pleasantly shocked this is going in a soundstage! I know it's sharing with FNaF, but still pretty big space for this house!

 

[RGMick77]

The only thing that takes away some of my excitement is that Bray Wyatt (real name Windham Rotunda) was an HHN fan who wanted to help create this haunted house. Now that he’s no longer with us, he didn’t get to be a part of this.

Puppets representing a voice/different part of Bray Wyatt's tormented psyche, given life by Uncle Howdy (the physical embodiment of Bray Wyatt's inner darkness, at least that's my interpretation).

Asking the question another way - I’ve tried to look up this stable on Wikipedia and articles seem to be a mix of “real” information and match history. I’m aware of kayfabe but it’s not clear to me as someone who never watched WWE which parts of these articles are real-life biography of the actors/athletes, and which are the fictional biographies of the characters.

Weird way to re-ask the question but are there any detailed articles that show the history and biography of the characters we’re going to see in the house?

I know it's Reddit, but this will genuinely give you the best info on the actual lore and story of the characters without confusion of real-world stuff.

"We're Here..."

Being enough of a wrestling fan to know about Bray Wyatt and the Wyatt Sicks, I'm pretty darn excited for this one! There is zero doubt that the late Windham Rotunda was a passionate horror fan, and it proudly showed with his characters, settings and stories. While for some it may seem off-the-wall to have a haunted house with them, it's ultimately not strange at all!

We're dealing with bayous/swamps, the supernatural, a whole cast who looks right at home in a HHN house, a twisted kids show a la' Mr. Rodgers/Blue's Clues that's a front for a very demonic being...this fit's HHN to a T. Now I know there are those out there proclaiming this is gonna' be the worst house etc and all that, and while they're entitled to their opinion, I can't help but find it funny that out of all the properties to make that claim...it's for one that's firmly rooted in Horror.

Anyways, this one is gonna' be higher up in my anticipated list. There's plenty of characters and unique settings to work with, and this feels like a big passion project from A&D to do it right and make for a very nice tribute to Bray Wyatt and the Fiend.

More details for Wyatt Sicks, and this house is just sounding better and better each time they talk about it. The description and details they gave are very much giving Icons Captured vibes, but with the Wyatts instead, and I mean that in the best way. Some house spoilers ahead:

The beginning of the house will be an abandoned Firefly Funhouse with the Fiend, before it gets corrupted and taken over by Uncle Howdy, and you follow him into the minds of the Wyatt Sicks, each having their own realm decorated to their liking. Sister Abigail's is a witch hut where she'll be "crawling around you", gory human remains being feasted on in Huskus and Mercy's realms, a spiraling tea party where the guests' mouths have been sewn shut within the Rambling Rabbit's realm, and the promise of new characters unique to the house, plenty of WWE easter eggs and an environment that "lives and breathes the same level of textures that exist in the ring".

 

[RedRightDan]

A few additional points stuck out to me.

Rabbit’s realm sounds like it might be similar to the Mad Hatter scene from the HHN25 Wonderland house. Is this where we might see the vortex tunnel?

The mention of new characters backs up what we’ve been hearing about additional designs by Jason Baker. Possibly twisted versions of other WWE superstars
