Attractions at Halloween Horror Nights, HollywoodTerror Tram!
Walk through scary movie sets...used for making horror pictures!Universal Studios Hollywood has a history of turning out some of the scariest...and most popular...horror movies ever made. And, luckily for guests, Universal uses some of these REAL movie sets as part of its Halloween Horror Nights festivities! Each year, different Universal Studio's horror films "take life" at the theme park celebration! The Wolfman was there last year; so was Jigsaw. For 2010, new "celebrity" monsters await you! In addition to traditional haunted houses, Universal Studios Hollywood offers a scary version of its tram/backlot tour, as well. The tram tour includes plenty of walking, so wear comfy footwear. The point of this event is to be scared of getting hurt by axes, chainsaws and gruesome killers---and NOT by your own pair of tight shoes! In past years, you could walk along the eerie pathways of Crystal Lake...but you wouldn't want to think of camping there. Despite its tranquil setting, the same awful fate that befell the other campers there may happen to you, too. (Tip: if you're asked to join someone for a campfire dinner, better "just say no!") Tram tour guests may scavenge among the ruins of a downed jet plane...and discover monsters hiding among what appears to be "merely" a field of corpses strewn amongst the wreckage. If you've got a medical problem, HIDE it! The medics helping the unfortunate crash victims here think it's easier to finish off the wounded than to help them heal! Universal Horror Nights' Scary Mazes
What would a Halloween fest be without scary mazes? Universal Studios Hollywood has them...and no other theme park's Halloween celebration will have these same mazes, either. Why not? Because Universal has the legal right to use horror characters and movie themes that no other theme park can use. 2008 mazes included---Freddy Krueger and A Nightmare on Elm Street 2009's mazes were different. Though there aren't very many mazes at Universal Hollywood's Horror Nights, the mazes always change frequently so you won't know what to expect. The 2009 mazes were-- For 2010, there has only been 1 maze announced. Called the "House of 1,000 Corpses," this frightening haunted house is based on the 2003 movie of the same movie. Special effects should be extra-good...because this maze will be presented in 3D "Zombievision." Saving time in line at Universal Hollywood's Horror Nights: Head to the mazes and tram tour first after you enter Halloween Horror Nights. Skip out on the shows, scare zones and restaurants for later. Most people want to see the all of the mazes. But, since there are only 4 of them, the lines keep building until there's a waiting time that's scarier than the evil monsters lurking inside! (Of course, Universal Studios would like to help you solve the problem of long waiting-times at the mazes...by selling you a "front of the line" pass! Uh...why do they think that opening more mazes would be a bad solution, instead? Even Universal Studios itself can be scared, it seems. They're very afraid of missing out on the most money they can get!) Scare Zones crawling with creepy monsters!
Last year, 6 monster-filled Scare Zones awaited guests at Universal's Halloween Horror Nights. The monsters will be "dying" to meet you again in 2010, too!Universal Studios Hollywood certainly doesn't skimp on hiring scare-actors...and the many zombies, vampires, grizzly pigs, evil clowns and other frightening fiends roaming the park's scare zones will try their best to catch you off-guard when you least expect them. Clouds of fog; darkness punctuated by eerie lighting; gangly skeletons; tattered cobwebs, and other special effects help set a sinister mood as you enter each scare zone. Keep your eyes open & watchful...or your voice will be added to the sounds of screams that can be heard piercing the night's tranquility! OTHER ATTRACTIONS AT HALLOWEEN HORROR NIGHTS: In addition to the Terror Tram, horrifying mazes and creepy scare zones, you can also take your pick of several shows at the park During 2009, a new show was added. This was the live "Rocky Horror Picture Show" tribute, featuring a song & dance revue. Fun rides! Also, Universal Studio's Mummy Roller Coaster, Simpson's Ride and Jurassic Park boat ride are open during the festivities. (Now's your chance to plunge down the Jurassic Park ride's steep drop...in the dark!)
