Good point. The title of "Halloween" brings with it the expectation of Michael Myers. As fans of horror, we won't be disappointed cuz we know what to expect but to a general audience who only really cares about horror around Halloween? It may be a little disappointing. Idk if the general population would go out of their way to complain about it but the house would probably get some negative traction on surveys due to people not understanding it and wondering where the Man is.
Big difference is that if I see something called, “Killer Klowns from Outer Space,” and I know nothing about the IP, I can assume it will involve killer clowns. That’s what guests expect to see and that’s what they get. I don’t need to know what it is because it’s exactly what it is. In a similar way, Trick R Treat is about weird stuff happening at Halloween, Krampus is about Krampus, etc.
HHN fans often forget just how niche their passion is. Even through the horror genre is probably more popular than ever, older stuff is not typically sought after by general audiences. Unless you’re explicitly a horror movie fan, you’re unlikely to know a lot of older horror movies.
They may not have access to those. Dimension is Miramax right?
