HHN Hollywood Speculation/News - 2016

[Horror Lover]

Hypothetically speaking. Could Hollywood Harry be more than just a character on the Tram? Perhaps the reason for the delay is because Hollywood Harry is HHN-H's new icon? The west coast version of Jack per say. Along with the Terror Tram announcement they could unveil a marketing scheme around him? 


Murdy refuses to talk about Hollywood Harry, perhaps because it's a marketing thing which he generally has no say in.

That would be awesome! Our own original Icon!

 

[HorrorNightsFan13]

I don't think he's gonna be the icon, especially when our kinda unofficial icons are the Big 4. 


Everything about Hollywood Harry and what John is saying or not saying definitely seems like it was planned. Give the terror tram more backstory again. I think they dragged it out so they could go to the theatricalities of the CryptTV video and John saying that he's a part of the studio history that he can't talk about. That doesn't seem like marketing not letting him that seems like John being a carny

I could easily see a commercial incorporating the Big 4 and Hollywood Harry..

Thank GOD I can finally say something!! Yes the clown story is FREAKING AWESOME!! From what I've heard he may become the new park icon depending on how people respond to the story. I think its awesome and definitely going to see him around the terror tram!


This if the first time I've heard the name though. I think it works. Simple yet creepy.

Thinking about it more, I wouldn't be shocked if Orlando and Hollywood have similar commercials but with different characters to market.


It wouldn't be impossible, but I guess we'll see, as long as USH doesn't reuse the Airport commercial from last year, I'm fine.

Seems that there's some faith being put in for Harry to be a potential success.. interesting; almost like he could be an unofficial icon for this year.

God help us all if they just reuse the airport commercial.. AGAIN and just stick the IP logos on at the end.. That would suck so much

He's the creative director. He would definitely have say. He's just being Murdy as always.


I think this is testing ground stuff. Terror Tram will gauge visitors in seeing how much they like him, but I don't expect him to be uber-prominent. They most likely want to do this as a grassroots thing, and then elevate from there.

Hopefully Murdy has finally come around to the idea of original Icons and characters.. Hollywood Harry, while his 3rd attempt at trying to re-create Jack, is a step in the right direction

 

[Ryan]

Maybe, and we know he loves dem clownz. But again, I am not expecting an "icon" per-say, just an original character. I'll be blown away if they actually advertise the entire event with Hollywood Harry prominently at least this year.


And more of Murdy playing coy:

 

[k_peek_2000]

He's the creative director. He would definitely have say. He's just being Murdy as always.

His job is to acquire IPs and create the physical event. He usually has no say at all in the way the event is marketed. That's a completely different team. That's not to say the idea wasn't his, they're most likely holding the announcement until something like a commercial, or the 2016 advertisements get released. With a line-up THIS stacked it's unfair to pick one horror icon as the main marketing image, thus formed the creation of Hollywood Harry, a Master of Ceremonies for this year's event ALA Jack @ HHN17 in Orlando.


This'll be a good year. Times are a changin. I just wish they'd get rid of the purge.


This is just my theories btw. It could be totally different in the end.

 

[Freak]

It's about time we FINALLY got an original character with a good backstory. Even if this isn't the "main marketing icon", I appreciate the creativity behind it. I'm hoping this will open the door for more creative and original content next year.

John confirmed we are walking to the backlot this year

That'd be an epic storyline for the event.. Please, I hope this is what it all turns out to be!

 

[foodstampsFTW]

Also apparently the Platinum pass dates have been revealed and they seem to be the same as FFP nights

 

[Freak]

Just had a strange dream regarding the event last night. It would be a cool idea for the event someday but it's very unlikely haha 


The backlot had some sort of mini fair. There was a Ferris Wheel, done midway games and an cheap, hokey dark ride that you'd see at the LA County Fair. You went on it and then Hollywood Harry would be in there on the dark ride trying to kill you. Halfway in. 


That will never happen as carnival rides aren't apart of USH's nature, not to mention terrible capacity. But it's an interesting thought. 

 

[peasoupprincess]

Not gonna lie, I got really excited when I saw Eli Roth liked it.

 

[HorrorNightsFan13]

HHN Hollywood Facebook shared another CryptTV video about Hollywood Harry, this announcement should come soon. While I hate it being dragged out I love how they're putting a lot of thought into it

Eli Roth presents Terror Tram is confirmed!

Did they get rid of the whole Klowntasm thing? Wouldn't be opposed to that
