Mars Attacks is an IP i'd be curious to see come to the event.
Come to think of it.. we've never had a Tim Burton IP at HHN before.. That'd be a great one..

Mods, feel free to take down this post if it's pointless or ranging in similarity to another post (I did a little background and don't think there is).
Basically this post pertains to IP's that have yet to be at HHN; whether it be remakes, sequels, or out of the box properties that have requested by fans or brought up once that Hollywood has yet to do over the years or years to come. I decided to dedicate a single thread, updating it so often with new properties OR crossing off properties that will/ have happened. I also plan to range them from likely to not so likely to unlikely depending how that changes as time passes as well. Feel free to add more, debate about the likelihood, etc.
Off the Top of my head...
LIKELY:
- Hereditary; 2018 (A24)
- The VVitch; 2015 (A24)
- The Haunting of Hill House; 2018 - ? (Netflix)
- The Thing; 1982 (Universal)
- Midsommar; 2019 (A24)
NOT SO LIKELY:
- Halloween; 2018 (Miramax/ Blumhouse/ Universal)
- Suspuria; 1977 (Produzioni Atlas)
- Twin Peaks/ Fire Walk with Me; 1990-1991, 1992, 2017 (New Line Cinema/ CBS)
- Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors; 1987 (Warner Bros./ New Line Cinema)*
VERY UNLIKELY: *included as its own since it warrants enough material to stand by itself as a house
- Child's Play (series); 1988-2017(?) (MGM/ UA)
- Scream; 1996-2011 (Dimension)
- Hellraiser; 1987-2018 (Dimension)
- IT; 2018-2019 (Warner Bros./ Stephen King)
- The Evil Dead; 1981 - 1992 (New Line)
- Alien; 1979-2018 (20th Century Fox/ Dinsey)
- American Horror Story: Asylum; 2019 (FX/ Disney)*
- The Conjuring; 2013 - ? (Warner Bros.)
Point of order: MGM/UA only own the Child's Play name, the first movie and the remake. Everything else, including it certain elements of the original, is owned by Universal.Mods, feel free to take down this post if it's pointless or ranging in similarity to another post (I did a little background and don't think there is).

No argument from me.I will keep banging this drum, Child's Play 2 would make an amazing maze.
I feel like its more possible than you'd think, but if Universal chose to pursue it it would probably be really risky, since the filmmakers would probably demand a lot of creative control and would be more likely to cut off the deal if they weren't happy with it.Regarding A24 and their properties, something I have heard from some industry friends (people who work with producers and creative developers) but can’t confirm personally is that they give a lot of ownership/control to the filmmakers. Like, an insane amount. They’re allowed final say on more or less everything. (Final cut, trailers, home video model, repertory access, etc.). It’s a big part of A24’s strategy of attracting indie filmmakers, keeping them away from both the big studios (where basically nobody except gets that treatment) and the smaller studios (Neon, IFC, The Orchard, etc.), where they’d get far less exposure.
Anyway, tl;dr, I would put movies like Hereditary, the Witch, and Midsommar on the “no chance” list because Ari Aster and Robert Eggers see themselves as Very Serious Artists who, by their own admission, aren’t really even horror fans in the first place. They have no interest in an event like HHN.
This was the case for Peele and Del Toro and Murdy has great relationships but still viking has a point.I feel like its more possible than you'd think, but if Universal chose to pursue it it would probably be really risky, since the filmmakers would probably demand a lot of creative control and would be more likely to cut off the deal if they weren't happy with it.

I remember someone asking Murdy if The Ring was possible a while ago and him saying it would be troublesome to get the rights to (Disney). But with Dreamworks being owned by Universal as of 2016 Im wondering if its obtainable again? I feel like The Ring and The Grudge are very recognizable IPs (up with Saw as the most iconic of the 2000s). Some that I haven't seen listed are The Hills Have Eyes, I Know What You Did Last Summer (since Scream is a no go), and The Fly. I Personally would like to see Suspiria, Candyman, and Hellraiser.
I think something to consider are these decade themed years that Orlando is having and Hollywood is just starting. Maybe we'll start to see some of the IPs listed bundled up in a 70's or 90's year.
Fairly sure Venom is part of That Darn Contract. Marvel may still be smarting from the time they were in HHN, who knows.I mentioned "I Know What You Did Last Summer." James Wan is producing a series for Amazon, so that could be something they look into.
The Fly, it kills me to say this, but The Fly is owned by Fox :/
To the best of my knowledge, The Ring isn't owned by Dreamworks, just distributed (hence, Rings). Afaik it's in a similar situation to MiB where technically, two producers named Lauren Parkes and Norm Macdonald own the rights. Who knows how the rights work with that. Maybe they could be unconventional and try getting the rights to the Japanese version instead?
The Grudge, I feel good about coming to the event someday. I remember Knotts used to get a ton of Columbia properties like Carrie, Evil Dead and the Grudge. Just now, we snagged the grandaddy of Columbia properties with Ghostbusters, and the zombieland SZ at Orlando shows that they're pretty free with their IPs. The Grudge would be an attractive choice now that the Sony door is open.
Oh speaking of the Sony route... Venom/Carnage house?
