If this is going into Waterworld... then I'm very curious to see how they pull off the signature movie theatre marquee we've seen twice now

 

[TheMatador]

I’m not excited about this. I do like Black Phone but don’t care for Freaky. I wonder if this replaced The Weeknd from the speculation map

Nope. This was always in the cards.

 

[AlexanderMBush]

I'm here for it, unironically.

This will be the first time I do Blumhouse myself--so I'm here for the selection of IP's. Freaky's a really fun pick that I hope isn't brushed off for the sake of The Black Phone.

 

[TheMatador]

Nope. This was always in the cards.

So far, no maze has been replaced? All 3 were planned?

All 3 that have been announced have been planned.

If that's the case.. then what was the red herring on the spec map. Because Hollywood's spec map never had Horrors of Blumhouse 3.0, so something on the spec map was replaced by this.

Well, it depends on who can take a sunrise and sprinkle it with dew?

 

[chris.g]

This one's disappointing to hear. Though Black Phone could be interesting.

 

[baconwhiskers]

More excited for the Freaky rooms after seeing the Black Phone just cause I feel like it'll be similar to the Exorcist maze.

 

[DTH]

I'm guessing Candyman got the boot. La Llorona, Scarecrow, and Killer Klownz are all a lock. The Weeknd is still pretty vocal about his presence. That leaves just Evil Dead and Candyman. Replace one Universal maze for the other, is my guess. Or take out a non-Uni IP and put a Uni maze in its place. Dang, maybe it's Evil Dead...
I GUESS this is better than whatever atrocity Evil Dead would've become.

 

[foodstampsFTW]

Meh, I’m not excited but I’m not upset it’s coming

 

[TheMatador]

Evil Dead & Candyman>Blumhouse

 

[Brian G.]

Candyman was never happening… lol.

 

[Wesker69]

Let's just hope Blumhouse 3.0 doesn't suffer the budget-saving black walls of doom treatment the previous two got.

Still kinda miss the original Blumhouse boarded up Purge Night gimmick. It helped the "trapped in the theatre multi-movie" aspect.

 

[Paulio]

Freaky seems like such an interesting choice for a house.

 

[viking_wizard_eyes]

Yeah, this is a good reminder that those spec maps oftentimes have straight up guesses on them. That’s clearly what Candyman was. A good guess, but a guess nonetheless.

I’m excited about this house. Two strong IPs, especially Black Phone, which could have a house all its own, imo.

 

[Spookies n' Stuff]

Candyman was never happening… lol.

you say that, buuuut
Blumhouse 3 commercial:
-Person with a hook appearing in a parking garage
-Antagonist appears in the elevator
Meanwhile in Candyman...
-Candyman appears to Helen physically for the first time in parking garage (1992)
-Candyman appears in the mirrored ceiling of the elevator (2021)
Obviously this could be a total coincidence, since both of those setups are kinda tropes on their own, but given the fact that Candyman was rumored for such a long time, and was rumored to have been replaced by Blumhouse at some point down the line, it doesn't feel unreasonable that they could have just kept the skeleton of the announcement video and changed the rest.

Either way, not super excited about this, but I also haven't seen either movie it features, so maybe when I eventually get around to them it'll change my mind.

Note that this continues WaterWorld's tradition of being the repeat venue, given that this is the 3rd time Horrors of Blumhouse has appeared at the event.. yes, it's an all-new house with new IPs, but the branding remains the same..
