Halloween Horror Nights 35 (UOR) - Speculation & Rumors

[Parkscope Joe]

Oh, man.. Ground Round. The smell of their popcorn machine is forever locked in my memories. I vaguely remember a clown who would walk around doing balloon animals.

Correct this is the same clown.

With the Jack show revealed, I'm curious if it will do Bill & Teds numbers or HNF numbers. The former was never slow, but it didn't have a line stretched back to Diagon for the next show during the current show. Will the HNF crowd continue to show up like that?

Re: NY Zone. Won't feel complete if we don't have a "Twisted Balloon" pop-up bar from Shakes the Clown.

Nor would it feel complete without the cotton candy cocoon rack and ice cream truck from the Klownz. lol

Plus, I would be SUPER stoked for a Jack the clown stage show (if those rumors are true)! I saw “carnage returns” on YouTube and it looked like such a fantastic show.

If the clown zone happens, i really hope Klownzilla is part of it in some capacity

I have a weird hunch that they are reusing/ redecorating the inflatable Klownzilla puppet from the 2019 house for “Jack and Oddfellow.” Based on the permits someone leaked.

I used to be really big into Fortnite, and, honestly, I think a Fortnitemares scare zone could work. In 2018, they added these rock structures all over the map, and the rocks would keep zombies spawning all around you until you destroyed them. They had some good Halloween skins too, like a zombie version of the mascot of the game, a ghost cowboy, and a headless horseman looking character to name a few. I honestly think it could end up being kinda cool if they went this route ngl.

The idea of a Fortnitemares zone in and of itself isn't actually bad, I think many including myself just don't wanna see a huge rush of kids into the event for it!

I don't know how it will ultimately pan out, but concepts like basing a scare zone off of a gaming franchise like Fortnite is why I want Fan Fest at UOR. Not because I want the event, but because it prevents HHN from having to host IPs that fit better into a non-horror specific event.

The concept seems to be oriented around showcasing popular skins/characters... which I'm not sure how it translates into at HHN. Seems like the different characters will likely be featured on stages to be displayed... but that sort of zone layout I'm not a fan of as it becomes more of a museum exhibit than an actual scare zone. CryptTv was not a fan favorite because of that.

An issue I could foresee is that a lot of people will just see headlines of "Fortnite Coming to Halloween Horror Nights" and not realize that the extent of Fortnite's involvement is a scare zone - likely the smallest scare zone in the park lol.

(and probably a food stand/merch)

I fully understand not wanting a bunch of unsupervised kids running around causing trouble. I haven’t experienced any issues personally but only go once a year. I think we will continue to see 5 nights, Fortnightmares, and maybe Scooby one day because it’s about what fills the event $$. If every house were Ozzy/Hellraiser it would be just a bunch of us old men there.

Nah, it'll remain pretty PG-13+ so I doubt Scooby Doo comes. There's always new horror IP coming out that appeals to young folks.

I'll truly never understand the whole "HHN is and always has been for adults!!" thing. '02 and '03 had scarezones with superheroes and the Grinch. '09 had a scarezone based on Cirque du Freak of all things, etc. Additionally, are we all pretending to not see things like young children attending the event dressed as incredibly violent horror characters such as Art the Clown?

These mentalities that "HHN should only have heavy adult rated content" and "kids don't watch violent horror" are both very silly to me. This will be my 17th year of attending (oof) and there have always been swarms of kids/teens. You're not avoiding it regardless of whether you're pushing Fortnite or Terrifier.

(This is not an attack on anyone. Just my two cents, as we have our annual discussion about this topic)
