Halloween Horror Nights 31 (UOR) - Speculation & Rumors

[Brian G.]

No? I thought Squid game was great and there were so many iconic scenes they could do a lot with. It would be a great headliner too since so many are familiar with it. Just the red light green light statue alone would drive people crazy.

Squid Games is great. It doesn’t belong.

There was already plenty of discussion so you can see why it doesn’t make sense.

With what has been swirling, the team at A&D has truly gone full meta for 31 :ninja:

Oh god, they're doing a house based on this commercial aren't they? That would be the most terrifying house HHN has ever done.

 

[Imperius]

Top horror adjacent for me are Gremlins, GOT, Witcher, JP/JW, Cloverfield(0 chance).

Far from the biggest year. There's been quite a few in recent years that have had higher attendance than this past year.

What were the peak years?

 

[Legacy]

What were the peak years?

Without knowing for sure, I’d assume 28 was their top overall year.

 

[GA-MBIT]

Oh, and Hell Fest would also be very meta while also not being a very big pick for many.

 

[Shinigami]

A.
Edit: Hey Legacy!

Pretty Little Liars? Would be an odd choice (just to clarify before someone takes this seriously. I don't really see a chance that they would use that IP)

Lol a house based on a scary Halloween event where they can touch and chase you, at an event where they are not allowed to touch and chase you.

Still without the touching stuff it would be atmospheric” it could work as a house I’d mean the movie is set on Halloween night but it could still work with the death scenes and scenery and all.

 

[jseal777]

would rather see Haunt

 

[Living Dead Dude]

Soft horror and meta? Bring Scary movie to horror nights!

Oh god, I think this might be it.

When I hear "Meta" and "Horror-Adjacent" IP, I'll admit the main thing that's coming to mind for me is what if it's a film, with a director that both Uni and HHN has worked with before, and the film they previously did with Uni (and use for HHN) featured a particular property of the original IP which the director is now working on. It's definitely "Horror-Adjacent", and due to what I just said, very Meta due to its history.

Just some food for thought.

I'm not sure if this exactly fits the bill, but could it be a Peele movie? Nope is coming out in July. Peele tends to be super meta for HHN. Just an idea I had

Oh god, they're doing a house based on this commercial aren't they? That would be the most terrifying house HHN has ever done.

For a second, I thought the commercial you linked was going to be this commercial featuring the iconic David Naughton from AWIL lol

 

[JawsVictim]

I would actually love this if they went R rated with the house’s content and included Scary Movie 2…”My germs!”

 

[Living Dead Dude]

With a brand new scream movie and I know what you did last summer just having a new show in a weird way it makes perfect sense for it this year

Very good guess, but Peele was not the director I was thinking of. From the sound of things, Nope is a wholly original creation, which doesn't fit with what I was thinking of.

 

[HHNRookie]

Pretty Little Liars? Would be an odd choice (just to clarify before someone takes this seriously. I don't really see a chance that they would use that IP)

It’s a BIG IP that I haven’t seen anyone publicly speculate just yet. So if you are thinking of something someone else has said. You are probably on the wrong track.

What does “meta” mean? I'm sorry but I'm writing from the other side of the pond and sometimes I don't understand some terms well.

 

[Grabnar]

What does “meta” mean? I'm sorry but I'm writing from the other side of the pond and sometimes I don't understand some terms well.

Generally means media that is self referential or recursive, usually in a way that either pays homage to or points out limitations of the medium.

Scream, Shaun of the Dead, Tucker and Dale vs Evil, and Cabin in the Woods are all examples of recent meta-horror.

Another good reference for meta, though it isn't horror, is the Deadpool films.
