Does anyone know why Universal/HHN hasnt made any acknowledgement of the BJ room in the tribute store in social media or press releases?

Well, for one, they invited a few members of the press to cover the opening. I also got the emailed press release. Can't answer the lack of social media, though.

Was able to make it through the tribute store this weekend and the Attic room with the food counter did not feel like Beetlejuice at all. When my mom and I walked into the room, the table in this picture was the first thing we saw and both of us made a comment as to how bent this lady's neck was... but that could also just be reaching lol

Wow, I didn’t even notice the neck thing! You’re right! Now that I see that, I can’t help but also see the unnaturally long neck on the mannequin head above the counter...

I know mannequin heads can just be like that, but if we’re running with the Bent Neck Lady theme already, that could be a little something.

Most likely just be the conspirator in me but I couldn't help but notice how similar the Attic looks to this photo from The Haunting of Bly Manor coming this fall. But yeah this is grasping at straws ngl.

Taking a guess that the plan was a Hill House room but that was altered after the event was postponed this year. Kinda like Hive.

That could be true, but I dont think that Universal would market something that fans are unfamiliar with. I dont think that they've even released the release date for the season. However, I do see the connection, but both of the houses (Hill House, and Bly Manor) seem to have the same vibe.

I think that the clue to what room might be in who the shadow of the child. I don't recognise it from either Beetlejuice or Hill House, although I can kinda see it being Hill House.

What if, now hear me out. It was always just an Attic. Maybe intended to loosely feel like Hill House but never BE Hill House.

You know the shelves with the dolls? There's a speaker behind there and if you hold your phone over the edge to get a photo behind it people working there give you the evil eye.

This would make sense. Maybe it was designed with the fear in mind that they could lose Hill House as an IP?

Or a Hill House store area wasn’t included in the rights.

The store was designed months before “losing an IP” was a likely concern.

Tbh I’m kind of surprised that Billie Eilish didn’t get a room

I think it boils down to “how much custom merch can we fill it with.” Monsters and HHN past is obvious. So it gets two rooms. Beetlejuice is a headliner with a ton unique, custom merch potential that will sell like crazy. Hill House, though, doesn’t have much that screams “merchandizing,” so fill a Hill House room would be challenging. Eilish merch, regardless of what they try to do with it, would be essentially be concert merch, so a custom Billie room would a bit unnecessary. But a “generic” Attic serves as a catch all for both, plus any other random merch they want to push.

I think if it wasn't an anniversary year she may have

I'm not sure what the house was going to be like...Abstract or not

I could see a fun padded room/surreal type room

FWIW, a well-placed source tells me the Hill House speculation is dead on.
