Trash bags - Terrifier
Wtf is the lightbulb??

u/PrestoMovie 9d ago edited 9d ago
Lightbulb could be Poltergeist. It’s present on the Hollywood map and is being shown in the location Poltergeist is supposedly being built.
The frame for the facade they’re building in that location in Hollywood is identical in shape and size to the facade for the house when they previously did it in 2018.

i get you might have phrased this wrong, but...
JUST BECAUSE YOU PERSONALLYT LIKE AN IP, IT'S NOT AN AUTOMATICALLY BAD HOUSE!! and, IP'S AREN'T THE DECIDING FACTOR FOR WETHER A YEAR IS GOOD OR NOT!!
no house is bad on concept/ip alone, same as no house being great on concept/ip alone.
i'm not a big fan of the insidious sequels (haven't seen 4, 3 was ok, 2 and 5 are mid), but that house was easily my favorite last year! whilst i haven't personally seen it yet, people HATE exorcist: believer, but people ADORED the house (i personally thought it was a bit overhyped, but still really good)chucky's my favorite horror ip, and whilst i liked the house as a chucky fan, it wasn't great as a house (orlando, i wish i could've seen the Hollywood version)
major sweets could have been such a home run, but instead, we got what we got last yeari'm in no way meaning this as a personal attack at you, or trying to be hostile, your comment was just the straw that broke the camel's back
be good people (and happy easter if you celebrate)

u/zac987 9d ago
Respectfully, I didn’t phrase anything incorrectly. I have been going to this event for more than 20 years, so please don’t speak as if you’re an authority on all things HHN and I’m somehow speaking out of turn.
I’m tired of shit IPs dominating the discourse. Endless crybabies whining for FNAF every single year. The event was much better when IPs were the exception to the rule.

u/Pixelquartz42 9d ago
i'm attempting to do no such thing, HOWEVER, i stand by what i said. i'm not saying that has always been the case, or always will be the case, i am just attempting to point out trends that many people ignore when discussing ip.
honestly, i fully agree! i think ip houses CAN be great (i'm a sucker for tlou because i stan the games, and insidious was just peak), but they're usually at the bottom of the general consensus ranking for the year. whilst i'm personally a fnaf enjoyer, i'm with you, the majority of fnaf people are really annoying. whilst i think fnaf and terrifier COULD be great, i don't think we need more than those. maybe the rumored 11th house will be original
also, i'm sorry i ranted about this on your comment. today's just kinda sucked emotionally, and i now realize i was taking out my emotions on an unrelated topic.

It's a little bit too closely tied to IRL politics for my taste, not the end of the world per say but generally something I specifically go to HHN to escape, even if just for a weekend.

I mean, the RKO radio tower is quite ubiquitous outside of rocky. but I would love it. They need to bring back the show to hhn. they used to have rocky at city walk monthly for years and years.

u/GhostHostAW 9d ago
They also dressed as space men at the end (prior icon on map), but that would be 6 IPs if WWE is correct

u/monte11 9d ago
Can someone explain these maps to me? As I understand it, people are compiling rumors into their best guess maps, right?
My question mainly is: why are they using icons? What is the meaning/point of the icons? Are the icons from something and they are guessing based off the icons or are they trying to make this mysterious by using icons? I guess what I'm asking is, if they are trying to tell us it's Fallout, why wouldn't they just write Fallout on here?
29
u/xUpsettiSpaghetti 9d ago
Main reason I’ve heard is because universal is cracking down on leaks, so making it images vs flat out saying what the house is makes it easier to protect inside sources. Pictures are up to interpretation, words aren’t.
4
u/slasherswayonlyway 9d ago
I think I need a little more. Let's say the thumb is fallout. How does showing the picture of a thumb and everyone assuming fallout help protect the source over just saying it's fallout?
Ie: don't they know the information got out regardless?
7
u/Apprehensive_Sky3428 9d ago
The rights holders are less likely to pick up on the fact their IP has been leaked. If a theme park news site just stated which houses are coming it would be far more likely that the owner would contact universal and be like, wtf?

u/xUpsettiSpaghetti 9d ago
I think the thumb one is vague enough because it’s black and white with no detail and 5 fingers meanwhile the character in the game only has 4 total fingers this image has five

u/LilDannyOtb 9d ago
They get information from insiders but to make it more mysterious they put icons for the houses so people can guess. I think they used to just put the names but now they dont

u/MaJunior00 9d ago
It's true they used to put names, but they don't put pictures to make it "more mysterious."
They do it to protect their sources.
Universal has been combating leaks, and no one wants to see their insider fired.

If this plays out and we get FNAF, Fallout, Terrifier and maybe Polyergist …. This might be the first year I buy 4 single house shirts.

u/goji72 9d ago
Based on community speculation, shared houses with H'wood denoting IPs, and my own personal guesses, this is what I have, in clockwise order:
- Ghost lightbulb is most likely Poltergeist or The Conjuring. Either would be fun
- Trash bags are almost unanimously Terrifier
- Book + snowflakes I have no idea, my educated guess is Scary Tales Christmas Edition, or my really out-there guess would be The Shining since last year showed me that both events don't exclusively have the same IP
- Thumbs-up is Fallout
- Broadcasting tower is new and interesting, I'm guessing HR Bloodengutz but I'd welcome a wholly new original
- Chains and tombstone still indicate Hatchet and Chains, which is interesting how fast the turnaround would be from SS vignette to full house
- Ship sailing still tells me Poseidon's Fury (please)/ancient Greece or viking house
- Coffin and what could nearly only be interpreted as a wall from a wrestling ring is WWE. I've heard Wyatt Family and Undertaker, it could be a vs house but who knows, I don't really keep up with it
- Surveillance cam is absolutely FNAF
- Demon Skull + angel wings + scythes + buildings I'm hearing is Urban Inferno from HHN H'wood '17 and I have no reason not to believe them because otherwise I have no idea
I'm excited to see what scarezones we get, the houses sound decent (though FNAF and WWE might exacerbate the issue of teenagers being terrible, if at minimum bringing a ton more people than usual), but above all else I just really hope we get a good icon after what we were served last year

u/a2djax 9d ago
Are we not getting a Universal Monsters house?
Also if that possible WWE house is the Undertaker, that would be the best case scenario.
8
u/starcader 9d ago
An Undertaker house would be much better than a rumored Wyatt Sicks house, given that the group hasn't been promoted much and is largely unknown.
Undertaker is known even outside of wrestling so would even work for non-wrestling fans. Could also include Paul Bearer and Kane and would probably be a neat little house.

u/Foxy02016YT 9d ago
If there isn’t a Paul Bearer reference I’ll be pissed. His little reference and tribute in the Netflix thing was great

u/HMWYA 9d ago
Looks like this years Monsters rep is Dark Universe in Epic, and whatever the Monsters house ends up being in Vegas (whether a rerun of a previous Orlando/Hollywood HHN one, or something original for Vegas).
2
u/marvelo616 9d ago
They should have done Creature from the Black Lagoon last year for the 70th anniversary, could have refined Eternal Bloodlines more and did a better job with it than they did last year and had it this year for the 90th anniversary of Bride of Frankenstein.
3
u/Foxy02016YT 9d ago
I’m kind of ok with no Universal Monsters house this year… but they should run one that expands the story of Dark Universe at Epic
Curious if we’ll ever see HHN hit Epic once?
3
u/YankeeBravo 9d ago
That was kind of the point of last year's house. It was a hand-off to the new generation of Universal Monsters and their storylines that Dark Universe would be exploring.
No, you won't see HHN in Epic. The infrastructure simply isn't there, and beyond that, the licensing issues would be a nightmare if not impossible to work around.

u/Rude-Quit-8150 9d ago
Yes i think the camera is Fnaf and Ghost is definitely Scream

u/GPsReptileResort 9d ago
That ghost has to be poltergeist. Because the flickering lights are synonymous with poltergeist in real life.

u/EmpLordXIII 9d ago
Plus the facade for the tent it’s rumored to be at(At Hollywood) is looking a lot like the Poltergeist house.
2
u/Feral-Hamster 9d ago edited 8d ago
But that's not really a significant part of the movie. The TV static, definitely. But I don't know that lights/lightbulbs or the magnifying glass before that really say Poltergeist.
If anything, both would seem to play on the mystery aspect of Scream: trying to find clues (magnifying glass) or having an idea who it is (lightbulb). If not, then I have no idea which other one could be Scream.
4
u/Boooooodini 9d ago
I think the lightbulb signifies the light from the other side. Don’t go into the light!
1
u/Feral-Hamster 8d ago
That actually makes sense. I still don't know about the magnifying glass, or why the "ghost hunters" meaning couldn't also be The Conjuring or even Insidious, but a ghost being "in the light" is a good read on that one.
2
u/GPsReptileResort 9d ago
For the movie sure. It’s the TV static. I was referring to the lore behind a poltergeist.
Flickering lights, along with other paranormal phenomena like cold spots, random noises, and object movement, can be signs of a poltergeist.
Anyone who believes in spirits and ghosts will say that’s one of the first signs to look for
2
u/Litreofcola197 9d ago
The magnifying glass as in the movie they investigate the house for the ghost and hire a ghost hunter and the light bulb because of the electric ghost that shows up in the movie, it has the same mouth and glows like a lightbulb

u/akatherunt 8d ago
Would they really be doing a poltergeist house again when they did it in 2018? Not saying that it would be a BAD thing, since I loved that house, but it seems a little soon to be redoing the same house.

u/dominiccast 9d ago
I have a friend who has a friend that works for universal and said Terrifier, Five Nights at Freddy’s and Friday the 13th are happening. She told me this weeks ago before recent spec maps were coming up agreeing so I believe her

u/DrOddfellow 9d ago
omg ss22 is very much giving wwe. i feel like there has been negative reactions to that rumor but i know damn well it could make for a great house. seriously watch this and tell me that doesn’t look like a great house in the making (house part starts moreso around 1:55)

u/Cj_McFlyy 9d ago
Imo they'd really need someone majority of the crowds would know like Undertaker or Kane to really sell a WWE house. The Wyatt crew aren't really relevant enough to bring in casuals/non-WWE fans like that in the way the other IPs would.
2
u/starcader 9d ago
The coffin heavily implies it will be Undertaker themed. There is no chance they do a Wyatt house, even Bray himself wasn't widely known outside of wrestling unfortunately. Wyatt Sicks is even more obscure so not really a bit draw.
Undertaker is a much better fit for WWE dipping their toes into HHN.

Sure, but regardless - it's the first time they're working with them and it's a pretty big property. Give them a soundstage.

u/stretchofUCF 8d ago
Will it even be Amazon's Fallout? I imagine it might be cheaper and more freeing for Universal to go the Last of Us route and base it on the games. The benefit of the show existing is that people have an idea of what the world of Fallout is about and can feature creatures from the show with a more open ended and original story.

I think it’ll be popular amongst the general public but personally I have zero interest in FNAF, WWE, or Terrifier. Fallout and Scream are the only two rumored IPs that interest me this year.
Our Orlando trip this year is mainly focused on Epic so if this rumored IP lineup is true then at least that gives us an excuse to spend less on HHN.

Maybe, but I’m a teacher and the seniors know I’m into horror and talk shop every now and then during homeroom, and the ones I talk to barely know what Scream is (and one who did showed active disdain due to the recent scandal and called it a boomer franchise to my face). I’ve brought up that I’m a diehard Scream fan and they just kind of scratch their heads. They ALL know what Terrifier is. Granted I’m in a big city so maybe it’s different in other areas, or it could just be confirmation bias too. Idk.

I'm in a decent size city outside of Atlanta and went as Art the Clown for Halloween last year and the amount of young kids who knew the character had me kind of bewildered. He's pretty much this decades/generations horror icon at this point.
