Halloween Horror Nights 35 (UOR) - Speculation & Rumors

[Kichkinet85]

Sorry if this is somewhere obvious: has there been any discussion on how the 2025 code names ended up linking (or not linking) to the houses? I’m just curious how relevant the code names had been lately.

The only one that I heard meant anything was for the Teriffier house.

They had a few that were a bit more on the nose this year, but basically the only ones that stood out as “obvious” were

WWE - Snapdragon (a wrestling move)
Grave of Flesh - Lily (a flower traditionally used in funerals)
Fallout - Daisy (associated with the nuclear age)
Terrifier - Poinsettia (Christmas and blood red color)

Poppy - Papi (Spanish)
Jasmine - Sounds like Jason
Carnation - “What in tarnation” and Yosemite Sam

I was told different things for Poppy (death related) and Jasmine (cuz commonly found outside, like a campground)

I think mine sound better

The codename for Dolls: Let's Play Dead is one of those ones where A&D's connection is fairly broad, even though there's a connection which is far more straightforward.

Iris - According to A&D, it's because of Doll Eyes. Thing is, most mammals and birds have Iris's as well, so it doesn't narrow things down at all.

Meanwhile, Iris is a very well-known song by Goo Goo Dolls...

Cat Lady was also meeting, so I wouldn't read too much into it. Definitely very cool though! Would love to see offerings like that make it into the actual event.

We really do need more Meet and Greets at the event, honestly, it's an easy way to have something to stabilize the lines a little bit and they have places to stage it waiting to go throughout the park. The HHN Bar's platforms are a shout in the right direction but having some face characters that are ready for interaction's always great. Scareactor Dining seemed pretty neat for this but I'm assuming that it got discontinued for a reason.

Instead of trying to come up with properties that fit the codewords, should we try connecting already speculated properties to the words and working backwards?

With this in mind, I thought...

IPs:
Scream: Car (Latest Scream film’s famous subway-car scene - if we’re assuming they’ll use the most recent films due to change in ownership) Note: I was thinking “train” for this first but couldn’t figure out any other code for Ozzy, aside for the incredibly in-poor-taste if true “herse”
Ozzy: Train (obvious reasons: Crazy Train)
FNAF2: Balloon (Balloon boy)
Hellraiser: Helicopter (HELLicopter)
Stranger Things: Bus (Hawkins school bus?)

Originals:
Oddfellow vs Jack: Shuttle (definition: form of transport that runs between two places)
Tractor
Herse (I do think the intentional mis-spelling of this is interesting!)
Chariot
Wagon

I don’t think car is the subway car, I think you’re totally confused here. I think it’s just a regular car, These are all Vehicles. Although a subway car is a train car. It’s really different from that.

Edit: my mistake all aren’t vehicles ballon isn’t one lol

You sure about that?

Omg thank you, I got so confused, I thought everyone was talking about a different thing.

Couple of (legitimately speculative) thoughts:

I think “Car” could simply be short for “carnival.”

Second, IF Oddfellow is happening… I actually think the codename that fits him best for a house is Shuttle. Oddfellow is all in on the zodiac and astrology. Space. I imagine a new Oddfellow house would explore that more. So, Space. Space shuttle.
