That's what's interesting about this stuff. People will get upset because they "lost" an IP when in reality they never actually "had" it lol
I mean, it’s still interesting if they wanted the property but couldn’t get it. NoES would have been a great IP for the event, but HHN will be fine without it (again, the originals are what matters). As someone interested in the workings of the entertainment industry and particularly in theme parks’ place within that industry, I’m still eager for any info on IP negotiations.That's what's interesting about this stuff.

That information about licensing makes a lot of sense. I assume NOES was never in the list of IPS we could have gotten for HHN this year or just in general was cut out for any reason. Now that you mention Halloween and that HHN could pretty much get the licensing rights for any IP done by John Carpenter why don't we have a house based off the thing yet? As a matter of fact was the thing actually maze before I have only started going recently.Interesting point of reference - for whatever reason A Nightmare on Elm Street seems to be a bit tricky to license. Dead by Daylight which has more horror licenses than you can shake a stick at couldn't get the Original NOES. They resorted to the remake.
Halloween, and anything done by John Carpenter, is a relative breeze to acquire and he's on record saying he'll pretty much let anyone roll with his franchises, and music, if they ask permission.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, or at least the first film and it's characters also seem to be pretty easy to pick-up, at least at the moment. There's a Texas Chainsaw game that was just released, a new entry in the franchise, and quite a few films in recent history.
Point is, based on recent history, it's not surprising to me that A Nightmare on Elm Street didn't come easy. My personal theory, based on the fact that we've only seen him in original Elm Street stories at the event, and I believe in Japan, is that the character is much easier to get than the film franchise.
The Thing has been featured several times, but there’s never been a house solely based on the 82 film.That information about licensing makes a lot of sense.

Totally! But I think his point was more that getting invested emotionally in a property coming and then being disappointed that it's not — all while we're still firmly in the rumor stage — seems counterproductive.I mean, it’s still interesting if they wanted the property but couldn’t get it.

Sometimes when it’s a closed off entity that owns an IP they are expected to be more protective. Craven estate probably has all the money in the world and could want to keep the legacy the way it is. More work they would have to do by bringing NOES to the event when in reality they probably just don’t care.The funny this is, I would think that the Craven estate would be more willing to work with licensing than New Line would lol
This is admittedly the first I've heard of this Frightdome / Cawthon situation, but I think it's really interesting and could have a pretty decent impact on HHN and FNaF. If Frightdome didn't go well, I could see it souring how he views FNaF and Haunt events broadly. I think if anyone could get the property right, it'd be Universal Orlando, so hopefully there can be some movement here eventually.Sometimes when it’s a closed off entity that owns an IP they are expected to be more protective.

Not exactly the same mindset but I likely suspect Scott Cawthon didn’t fork over rights because he is EXTREMELY protective of FNaF. He doesn’t see dollar signs anymore if someone offers him a deal, he sees “Are the fans going to like this!” or “Will this be received well?” And that’s totally ok to be protective of whatever you created, they obviously know best. What he should do though is shove FNaF in Blumzone (if there is one) and see how reception goes. Another thing I see no one talk about is how he probably has some PTSD over Frightdomes FNaF house, it was pretty forgettable and wasn’t received well. It also only lasted at that event one year after Cawthon didn’t renew.
Not many people have heard of it tbh.This is admittedly the first I've heard of this Frightdome / Cawthon situation, but I think it's really interesting and could have a pretty decent impact on HHN and FNaF.

Would you say these rumors are coming fast?Rumors of The Weeknd coming back are beginning to pick up steam
Weeknd in F&F queue..?Would you say these rumors are coming fast?
And, furiously?
1st Lagoon house SWIM: Blood, Wet and TearsThe moon and stars house in the spec map was obviously hinting at this year's headliner IP ... Night Swim
joking , but if it sneaks into the event somehow I would do it first night
It’s an odd location for that IPWould you say these rumors are coming fast?

I don’t think anyone actually knows anything this year.It’s an odd location for that IP
That’s quite a take this far into the season…I don’t think anyone actually knows anything this year.
