This was announced today. 30th anniversary and all…looks like that license has definitely loosened up for the year

Nope. Has nothing to do with it. Cavity Colors (along with Fright Rags) are just two popular horror tshirt (& more) businesses that produce officially licensed merch. Just look at their huge assortment of IPs popular & obscure.

Yah. I’ve bought a ton of stuff from both of them. I think you missed my point
I’m saying that this shows that the license is likely easy to obtain this year, and the licensor is even pushing the “30th Anniversary” tag
I’m not saying that this confirms any tie in with HHN, just looking at patterns.

There are no Bill and Ted rumors.

No point missed. There is a difference between merch license & trying to obtain for an event like HHN (last time in 2007, the big 3 came with too many strings attached)
As for the 30th anniversary angle. It's the best sequel since Dream Warriors, so of course it'll be acknowledged. But it isn't necessarily being "pushed" by NLC/WB. CC is just using it as an excuse to sell limited time merch. Nothing more.

If Nightmare Fuel got replaced with a Comedy Duo show it would make a lot of their fans unhappy.
I don’t think Nightmare Fuel is going anywhere. Even if there is any weight to the Comedy Duo rumor.
I'd take a brand-new show over the fourth iteration of Nightmare Fuel all day every day.
A Nightmare On Elm Street - SS 22
Ghostbusters - SS 23B
Universal Monsters - SS 23A
Fourth IP - F&F or Sprung 3/4
Not saying you're wrong, but this just makes more sense imo. I'm not even gonna toy with the idea of a Quiet Place house lol.

Pushing merchandise is a huge factor for the modern day event.
Never said it wasn't. But there is no reason to believe an IP is more accessible just because a shirt or pin exists for an anniversary.

Also.. this is the 30th anniversary specifically for New Nightmare. I'm not sure that means much in regard to the original NOES coming to the event lol

Dracula, eh? They really have worn that guy out.
This year is giving me 29 vibes, are they going back to an 80s theme? It’s the 40th anniversary of Ghostbusters and Nightmare, so it seems likely.
It’s also the 40th anniversary of another film we all want to see, but I don’t want to say it. I don’t want to be an Iron Maiden.

New Nightmare got a nod in 2007's house (hospital scene). I still say it's best to do an IP original for Freddy just because he's such a flexible slasher (depending on approval from NLC/WB)

Yeah I didn’t think of that. That’s fair.
This! Nothing against those performers, as they kill it every night. I just think that idea has been milked enough. I’m all about a comedy-esque show coming back to the event. This rumor definitely interests me.
As someone who loves pyro and/or fire... A LOT. Not to mention half-naked people dancing. Nightmare Fuel just doesn't do it for me.
Ironic isn't it? lol

Quick. Name a current horror or horror-adjacent IP that actively takes advantage of the 90s aesthetic!
Quicker. Describe the 90s aesthetic without using the word “flannel.”

That’s kinda the issue with trying to do a “90s” year. Aesthetically, it had a lot of remnants of the (way more interesting) 80s, and the fits and starts of the 2000s. There’s really nothing, graphically, that screams “90s” like the 80s has. It’s biggest claim is music, which you can’t really build marketing solely around.
