Halloween Horror Nights 35 (UOR) - Speculation & Rumors

[Andromeda]

Have the clues for the year ever connected to the icon?

I hope they give Ozzy a house this year with the train and hearse clue I’m crossing my fingers.
This month I saw NiN on tour and the show was fantastic. I don’t see any clues this year but I haven’t really researched it in depth . All I know is this house would be strobe heavy , LOL.

The only year I've missed since 2016 was 2021 - and that year, at least from the outside, seemed to be full of things that you'd really only enjoy if you had done the previous houses. (SCarey, Legendary Truth, Lights Camera Hacktion, etc).

I'm hoping that isn't the case here - but I'll be sure to do a ton of research and prep if we do happen to get HR Bloodengutz and Havoc lol

If the current rumors hold true, I don't really think that will be the case outside of maybe a potential Jack/Oddfellow house. If we're getting Bloodengutz, I don't think the story and lore will be too complex, as the concept of the original house was relatively straightforward to understand. Based on current discussions, it also seems like the pawprint might be an original concept that isn't a sequel to anything.

Pretty much what mccgavin said, out of what's potentially rumored in regards to returning characters/houses, Jack and Oddfellow would probably be the one that dives into lore.

H.R. Bloodengutz is very easy to understand, the 2011 house was essentially Slaughter Sinema but with a Horror Host framing. And if a new house is akin to that, then just like Slaughter Sinema it'll be a whole new batch of films/shows, so a deep dive into lore isn't required.

As for Havoc, even less so. The "Dogs of War" are super soldiers which were made in Shadow Creek labs. That's pretty much it. Personally, I hope it's not Havoc as it's not my kind of theme/antagonist etc.
