This is Gremlin’s year I can feel it!
Just had TCM in 2021, but it would be extremely weird to skip the 50th. Universal even acknowledged the 50th anniversary of Exorcist last year.Horror movies/horror adjacent movies with anniversaries in 2024:
Saw (20th)
Alien (45th)
Gremlins (40th)
It Follows (10th)
The Mummy (25th)
Ghostbusters (40th)
The Sixth Sense (25th)
The Blair Witch Project (25th)
A Nightmare on Elm Street (40th)
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (50th)
Gremlins has been on the rumor train for a few years now. Maybe this is the year.
I’d also love a Nightmare on Elm Street house again. 17 was my first year, so it would be very nostalgic.
Could Saw be in play since they had X in 2023 and XI in 2024?
Having it in the same year as FNAF (if it happens) would just feel SO right. Please please please universal make it happenThis is Gremlin’s year I can feel it!
I doubt that the event that has recently done houses such as House of 1000 Corpses is all that concerned about Gremlins of all things not being popular enough.but they probably want the IP to have a resurgence in popularity before attempting to acquire it.
Yeah, but with "odd" IPs like HO1C, Ghostbusters, and Beetlejuice, there has always been something relating to the IP that brings it into the spotlight again.I doubt that the event that has recently done houses such as House of 1000 Corpses is all that concerned about Gremlins of all things not being popular enough.
They do tend to mean that the rights can be easier to get a hold of. If Universal is already interested in them, of course.Annual reminder that anniversaries don't mean much, if anything, in IP selection.
Gremlins also recently has a HBO max tv show come out…I doubt that the event that has recently done houses such as House of 1000 Corpses is all that concerned about Gremlins of all things not being popular enough.
Secrets of the Mogwai was very much a kid/teen-centric show with a ten-year-old protagonist. Don’t count on its existence as something that would work for HHN.Gremlins also recently has a HBO max tv show come out…
That group is filed with the absolute worst types of theme park fans. And people say the UOAP group is bad lolI'm once again subjecting myself to the horrors of the HHN Facebook group and the mod is once again saying the HHN budget is slashed due to Epic and all the houses last year were Universal IPs as proof.
Welp, that's your update there's no reason to look everyone it's terrible.
Such is the eternal cycle of HHN spec seasonThat group is filed with the absolute worst types of theme park fans. And people say the UOAP group is bad lol
As much as I would LOVE to see Gremlins, I'm tired of convincing myself it's going to come every year. It's not coming LOL

Totally agreed. I'm just saying that, rights holders do tend to use anniversaries as a time to let the reigns loose on licensing.Maybe? Psycho celebrated its 60th and there wasn't a peep about it at HHN.
Basically, anniversaries don't move the compass to whether a property is likely or not.
Universal got to do Hellbilly Deluxe because they paid for the rights. Licensing isn’t altruistic.Edit: Secondary point. We got the Hellbilly Deluxe Scarezone because it was the 20th anniversary of that album. Sure, Universal was interested in doing it, but that's ultimately why we ended up with it that year.
I'm not saying that they got it for free. Just that the label likely wanted to do it that year because of the anniversary.Universal got to do Hellbilly Deluxe because they paid for the rights. Licensing isn’t altruistic.
