Halloween Horror Nights 30 (UOR) - Speculation & Rumors (2021)

[shiekra38]

Seek and Destroy isn’t Metallica guys, it’s clearly the 2002 PS2 video game “Seek and Destroy” by Takara Co Ltd.

Interest level has increased

Honestly it could be something like cyborgs vs humans or something

I'm sure they would have specified if it were Metalica

 

[Midnight Detective]

I think if it was a Metallica scarezone the map would say, 'Metallica Scarezone.' Its likely just a nod, especially being that the zone is in San Francisco

Edit - nevermind, I can't read maps

Yes. This is a smart decision for both parties. It brings more "general population" eyes to Shudder, and creates a partnership for using future properties much easier.

I'm firmly planting my flag and saying, temper your expectations.

Without getting too far into the legal weeds, many of Shudder's bigger movies (Mandy, Psycho Goreman, One Cut of the Dead) look to be strictly digital and physical distribution deals.

That means they would have to also partner with the original producers/rights holders of all of those individual properties to create merch and use the likenesses in things like....you know...theme parks.

The two biggest properties that jump out right away that appear to be mostly free and clear are Creepshow, and The Last Drive-In.

My question is, where does the Shudder/AMC/Sci-Fi line blur?

They're all technically the same company. So, could we see some characters from NOS4A2, Chanel Zero, Z Nation, or (god forbid) The Walking Dead?

Comcast has distribution rights for Channel Zero and Z Nation because they were developed for SyFy.

...and one of the Shudder heads (Craig Engler) is the Z Nation creator. So, that helps.

Ok so are we getting a ‘Tallica zone or not?

 

[RevFreako]

Kirk hosted a horror art exhibit that I got a chance to visit last year. Was really neat. Band might be posers today but he’s pretty legit.

He's a horror fan, sure. I'm only referring to their output as a band.

Where’s the fun in answering that? Y’all wanted a speculation season… so speculate.

 

[Living Dead Dude]

WAIT COULD THE EDDIE ZONE BE A RUN ZONE?!?

 

[Legacy]

WAIT COULD THE EDDIE ZONE BE A RUN ZONE?!?

What would be the difference?

*New York

I'll force us to speculate against it. Why not?

Every other zone is blatant about what we're getting without trying to nail what the scarezones' real, exact titles will be. Seek & Destroy isn't, like @Midnight Detective said. If they were to do Metallica, why would Seek & Destroy be the song of choice for a horror event? Why not All Nightmare Long or Enter Sandman or Creeping Death or something that sounds more horror-oriented? Maybe it's a codename? Maybe it's an original?

On the other hand, they have been writing "horror-themed" music for a new album :shrug:

 

[Living Dead Dude]

What would be the difference?

Ah hell yea! My first thought was they could be bringing back chainsaw drill team. A run zone sounds incredible!

 

[shiekra38]

Isn't Run supposed to be more of an enclosed arena not necessarily a wide open zone?

I suppose it doesn't matter, but just thinking out loud

As far as I’m concerned San Francisco isn’t exactly wide open

Syfy is Universal, not AMC.

 

[Tbad556]

Syfy is Universal, not AMC.

I think the point was that they all may be accessible under the same umbrella as they're all pretty intertwined. AMC owns Shudder. And as @Legacy said, "Comcast has distribution rights for Channel Zero and Z Nation because they were developed for SyFy.".

Or in less messy wording:

SyFy is owned by Universal.
Shudder is owned by AMC.
Shudder hosts several SyFy properties on their platform.

*Very* excited about the Eddie zone. While the realistic answer is that it'll probably be just RUN themed, I'm thinking about the old lore about him running haunted houses out of trailers... maybe we could see some sort of trailer park/mish-mash horror theme in the zone?

As for the Seek & Destroy/Metallica debate, I doubt it's a Metallica zone. I felt like that would be specified.

The sources who inform the spec map have, in the past, only gotten conceptual information that isn’t specific. We have, also, explicitly requested some information not be specifically included on the map in order to protect sources or contracts (read - Ghostbusters).

Is S&D a Metallica street? Maybe. Maybe not.

But if you want Billie Eilish and can’t get her, all you can do is turn the page to something different.

Genuinely not sure if you're trolling or not at this point

Legacy is GOOD.
