If we get an icon (I highly doubt we will), it’ll be The Pumpkin King or Lil’ Boo. But I’d see them being mascots more than “icons”.
IDK man, if I saw one of these things from the Outer Limits jump out at me in the house as a blackout scare, I would crap my pants.Not sure how I'd feel about bugs being a cheesy 50's-style house. You can do some seriously creepy stuff if you made that a more serious house.
Bug house sounds like it's taking a lot of inspiration from 50's Giant Insect B movies, could be lots of fun. After watching Moon Knight, I kind of wish the Universal Monsters maze was solely focused on a Mummy reimagining that really emphasized Egyptian mythology and tombs that lead to the underworld. Kinda like Hades: The Gates of Ruin for Egyptian mythology.Since that account suddenly seems a bit more credible (assuming you find the speculation map credible), probably worth discussing the other scoops dropped. My comments in italics:
* Bugs a "1950s giant insect" house -- sounds like a lock to be this year's dark comedy house
* Underground creatures = mutants on a subway -- not a Terror Mines reimagining like I had hoped but has potential
* Wolfman v. Mummy includes Dracula -- possibly a London-set house? Mummy escapes museum to meet the local monsters?
* Zones all themed to traditional Halloween; in addition to Scarecrow redux, mutated trick-or-treaters in NYC and a witch zone
This is the same event that did Evil Dead and its pastiche Cabin in the Woods in the same year on the same street.
Losing the hope for my beloved Evil Dead in exchange for another Blumhouse compilation is big sad :'(
But they're shooting for newer titles, I understand. Still think it has a likelihood of being a swing and a miss like 2018's though...

Reminds me of the subway in Dead Exposure. I'm up for more of that.
Freaky also had some really great kills (wood shop, cryogenic freeze, mini golf course) that would translate well to a maze.If you think about it Freaky leans into aztec Horror and comedy considering the dagger the movie revolves around with Sacrifice, switching bodies it would be kinda interesting ngl if it’s done right.
Honestly yeah, the more I thought about it the more I think this Blumhouse house could work a lot better than it’s predecessor.Freaky also had some really great kills (wood shop, cryogenic freeze, mini golf course) that would translate well to a maze.
Assuming a good chunk of you are like me and just now hearing of Black Phone thanks to the map, here's the trailer. Releasing June 24th.
