Halloween Horror Nights 35 (UO) - Speculation & Rumors

[StaticShock]

It seems like RIP tours are being limited this year? That or they had a website hiccup

Well, Universal made sure to have plenty of 5-house RIP tours availiable…

Any guesses as to when they’re gonna finally announce this Ozzy house?

No idea about a specific date, but Orlando houses are usually fully announced by the end of July, so I have to imagine it’d be this week, especially if Hollywood has the merch already.

Backrooms is an open concept. It doesn't have to be on the Kane Parson's or A24 IP. With all the Levels and entities that are apart of the lore, the concept to me is ripe for interoperation. I think taking on an idea like that could translate to a house and they could really get creative.

I would expect it this week. We haven’t gotten the teaser for tomorrow so probably not tomorrow.

Stranger Things didn't get one, so it could always just not get one.

Sorry for the double post. This is true, but if we treat the film's success as a reason they'd do a house adapting it, why would it not be the movie? When they finally did FNAF, it was the movie, not the game. I believe we only got TLOU as the game and not the show due to rights issues, and even then, it only happened because of the show. Every time it comes up, people say "it wouldn't have to be the movie, there's a bunch of lore to pull from," but if they're not going to pull from the highly successful movie, why not just do an original based around the same concept?

I wonder if this is a USH/UOR co announcement at Midsummer Scream?

I may be mistaken, but isn’t it just USH and Murdy at Midsummer? If so, I’m guessing any announcement there will be one of the Hollywood remaining exclusives. I just don’t see Orlando waiting till that close to our event start to announce their last major IP, especially one as big as Ozzy. The fact that Hollywood already has the merch ready to go tells me that an announcement is likely imminent this week.

If I had to guess, I'd say Murdy's going to announce the house in Parisian Courtyard at Midsummer. I doubt they'd use the opportunity to announce Killer Klowns...Again. Or they might announce the Terror Tram (Or both Parisian and the Tram if they want to be really nice xD)

I would *want* it to be an original. More creative freedom that way without having to adapt the Kane’s work. I do think it is possible to adapt his work into a good house. The physical concept of the Backrooms leads to creative boo-hole potential. The uncanny design of the rooms creates a really unsettling atmosphere and I think there are enough characters to scare guests.

I would prefer a Backrooms original though. The name alone would sort of backdoor as an IP house in the mind of the public. You may even be able to partner with Kane himself and not involve A24. I feel that it’s really worth a try even if they strike out in execution.
