I was just curious to see if anyone was going to Universal Studio's Halloween Horror Nights this year. I went last year and it was quite good, no doubt the best of the horror Mazes was the Texas Chainsaw Massacre one and I can't wait to go back in there. The others ranged from good to meh. Chucky's Insult Emporium was a nice touch, I'm looking forward to seeing that again. I wish they had more variety in the other attractions this year, it's just more of the same, though they were pretty decent. Though am I kind of excited to see the changes they've made to the Nightmare on Elm Street maze. I've been watching those "Behind the Scenes" featurettes on the Universal website and it looks like it's shaping up to be quite disturbing.
Oh and I'm mainly talking about the Hollywood one, I don't know what the Florida one is like, but I think Universal has the best Halloween nights when compared to other theme parks. Hands down.
Here are the attractions in case anyone is curious:
* A Nightmare on Elm Street: Home Sweet Hell- Are you about to enter Freddy's world, or is he invading yours? Your nightmare begins at Freddy's infamous home at 1428 Elm Street, now decrepit from years of abandonment. Step inside at your own risk, because stepping out is a lot harder. Try to survive the horror inside these eerie walls, only to realize that your nightmare gets longer and longer: past hanging bodies in a high school hallway, through dangling bits of flesh and bones in an asylum, and deep into the pit of a hot boiler room. This is one nightmare you can't wake up from.
* Friday the 13th: Camp Blood- After half a century of murder and mayhem, the eternal evil of Jason Voorhees still haunts the ruined remains of Camp Crystal Lake! The grounds are soaked in red at Camp Blood on Crystal Lake, where Jason and his gut-slicing machete are lurking through the woods, waiting to massacre their way through the night. Be careful not to mistake bone fragments for firewood as massacred corpses of previous camp-goers litter the soil. And if you do somehow survive Camp Blood, don't plan on leaving. Because in here, every day is Friday the 13th.
* The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: Back In Business- Leatherface and his family of cannibal crazies have taken over the condemned Blair Meats factory, bringing a new level of terror to the heart of Texas. Step inside the #1 rated maze of 2007 and come face-to-face with one of the sickest, most sadistic murderers in the history of film: the one and only Leatherface. His chainsaw will roar as you run for your life through a labyrinth of unspeakable horrors, each more terrifying than the last. You may get out alive, but it could cost you a limb.
* Universal's House of Horrors Meet The Strangers- Guess who's knocking on the door? The relentless, masked killers from Universal's latest hit horror film, "The Strangers" have invaded House of Horrors! Come face to face with The Man in the Mask, Pin Up Girl and Doll Face as they stalk the shadowy corridors of a haunted castle, populated by a veritable "who's who" of Universal Horror movie characters, past and present. Terror lurks around every corner, making you wish you'd never walked inside this nightmare. This is one place where you have everything to fear. But they're only movies, right?
Terror Tram: The Nightmare Tour
The all-new Nightmare on the Backlot will transport you deep inside your worst nightmare. For the first time ever, Freddy Krueger will be loose on the Backlot, just waiting to terrorize you. From the Bates Motel to the winding dirt roads of Crystal Lake, no place is safe. You'll be running from Freddy's sharpened claws, and he's got Leatherface and Jason to help him wreak havoc. Good luck finding a place to hide in this never-ending nightmare.
You may want to use the bathroom before you get on this one.
