2020 Halloween Tribute Store

[BoSoxFan1022]

Alright, I’m thinking this confirms that BJ will avoid being cut.

I was thinking that too but then again, if it was really coming back why open the tribute store NOW?

Money.

I saw they have these things that looks like lunchboxes for the book. Can anyone confirm this? And if they are not a prop, are they for sale?

Yes, and it is for sale.

Nothing is safe, but it's very possible to return.

I would think the originals and Brides are the safest. Don’t see why they would want to spend any more $$$ than necessary by not using houses they don’t have to pay licensing for. But conventional wisdom isn’t always correct.

Exactly. They sell all this merch now, and bring OUT different merch in 2021, which the rubes will ALSO snap up, myself included.

You're not wrong, but I also want to make sure we're aware it's far from a lock.

I think its safe for us to assume that unless the rights holders themselves refuse to allow Universal to renegotiate, we can assume most if not everything that was meant to come in 2020 will return. Its gotta be way cheaper to renegotiate agreements than it is to buy new licenses and build new mazes from the ground up.
Also, I'm really curious if most of the Beetlejuice room was meant to be used in there from the start, or how much of it was props meant for the maze that they just decided to move for now.

What you see is what was planned.

I wonder how much they are going to milk this event, I have never seen so much merch at HHN.

All year long, I suspect.

BANKRUPTCY HERE I COME!!!

Honestly, there's no reason to not just keep it and rotate out different displays

There is a market for the "horror store" concept

The Beetlejuice room was actually done weeks ago.

Again, it was likely an embargo that prevented it from opening with the rest of the store.

Would certainly be interesting, might be the first year where merch gets released alongside the announcements as the year progresses.
Though judging by the fact that beetlejuice somehow still isnt official, maybe not. It'll be interesting to see nonetheless.

Side note: I hate how we don't get things like a Ghostbusters or Beetlejuice dark ride

These movies are just so fun and visual gems

Obviously, I understand the reason as to why not...but still..

 

[BoSoxFan1022]

It will be interesting to see how they handle the Beetlejuice announcement if it does return

It wasn't removing Hill House from Room 3?

I had honestly only ever heard ”carnival” icon room, monsters room, and Beetlejuice room. I was never expecting a HoHH room. Because I was never expecting Hill House merch.

I mean, it's the snacky room, so you're probably largely right on that, although my gut says there was a shirt.

Why the hell didn't Halloween get this too? We have the stuff from the maze and they just opened a new mini store....god this looks soooo cool would have loved it in Hollywood
