This year's selection promises an unrivalled scare-fest, ranging from the iconic dread of classic horror flicks to the hair-raising nightmares of unique compositions.?
Brave souls can immerse themselves in a haunted house experience like never before as the fog sweeps in and ominous music fills the air. Halloween fans are in for an extraordinary journey through the depths of their worst fears, with painstakingly built sets, cutting-edge visual effects, and an army of horrible creatures.
At least for Florida, we know all the gruesome facts of Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights 2023.?Universal previously announced plans for haunted houses based on Chucky, The Last of Us and season 4 of Stranger Things.
Universal released more about Chucky and the remaining homes tourists can visit on both coasts this year: The Exorcist: Believer and Universal Monsters: Unmasked on Friday.
In addition, Universal Orlando Resort presented its whole lineup of original, location-specific houses and fright zones. Universal Studios Hollywood will make its announcement independently soon.
Fans of Halloween Horror Nights should be aware of the following information.
Halloween Horror Nights customers will be able to visit five scary houses in both Florida and California.
Believer will be inspired by Universal Pictures, Blumhouse's, and Morgan Creek Entertainment's upcoming picture of the same name. According to Universal, "Guests will be transported to a bustling street market in Haiti, where an innocent purchase of a strange folk doll with three eyes leads to the opening of a demonic portal, the awakening of sinister spirits, and the subsequent disappearance of two 12-year-old girls in the United States." When the girls reappearance occurs, "it soon becomes clear that only an exorcism can save them - and everyone who comes into contact with them, including unwitting guests, is suddenly at risk of losing their souls."?
Ultimate Kill Count will be inspired by the killer doll's film series and the USA & SYFY show of the same name. "A true sadistic killer, Chucky has been mired in the agony of disrespect he feels from his peers at not being taken seriously," Universal says. "With this, he embarks on his quest to turn his haunted house into a living slaughterhouse by killing everyone who enters."?
Unmasked will transport visitors deep into the Catacombs of Paris, where they will face iconic villains from Universal's filmography, including The Phantom of the Opera, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Dr. Jekyll and his deranged alternate personality, Mr. Hyde, and Dr. Jack Gryphon, aka The Invisible Man.?
"These desperate and dangerous fiends have become filled with rage towards guests navigating the twisted tunnels of their underground labyrinth home," according to Universal. "In the dark, they seek these intruders and where the sounds of guests' shouts will go unheard."
Universal Orlando will contain five original haunted houses exclusive to the area, increasing the number of houses to ten. This is how they are described.
Dr. Oddfellow:?"In the 1930s Dust Bowl era, tourists won't resist entering Dr. Oddfellow's scary menagerie of twisted curiosities, where they'll face grotesquely warped animals and weird friends...The cost of entering this spooky caravan is high since souls feed his immortal might."
Dueling Dragons: Choose Thy Fate:?"The great wizard Merlyn has been transformed into the Enchanted Oak, leaving a power vacuum," says Duelling Dragons: Choose Thy Fate. When two powerful warlocks invade his castle to steal his spell book, they are transformed into fire and ice dragons. Guests are now trapped in their struggle and must select a course and a victor. But keep in mind that you never know who will win."
YETI: Campground Kills:?"In a 1950s campground, a horde of towering, fearsome yetis is wreaking havoc on campers, rangers, and anyone else who gets in their path... Guests must run across the campsite, stopping at cottages, a bait shack, and even the outhouse to reach the ranger tower before it's too late."
The Darkest Deal:?"In the Mississippi Delta, blues musician Pinestraw Spruce meets a diabolical entity known as The Collector at a crossroads to make a deal: his soul for musical glory." Guests will see him get his big break in front of a multitude before The Collector brings him to Hades like the other musicians who learned the awful cost of fame."
Bloodmoon: Dark Offerings:?"Colonial-era villagers begin to worship the moon obsessively." When the blood moon rises during their fall festival, they interpret it as a warning that they must hunt down all non-believers in their town. Guests must avoid becoming a part of the sacrifice as they gather body pieces to construct a horrific offering." The Florida resort will also include five separate fright zones linked to Dr. Oddfellow.
Dr. Oddfellow¡¯s Collection of Horror:?"With the promise of immortality, Dr. Oddfellow will entice guests into Halloween Horror Nights." As he raises the veil on all the horrors to come, they'll realize they might not even make it through the night."
Dark Zodiac:?"Dr. Oddfellow has entered a dark dimension to harness the Zodiac's power and live forever." He distorts the signs into demonic monsters who predict catastrophe. Your star is falling as his rises."
Jungle of Doom: Expedition Horror:?"Dr. Oddfellow ventured deep into the darkest jungle in the 1920s, performing horrific experiments on nature." His terrible beasts are now out of control and on the prowl."
Vamp ¡¯69: Summer of Blood:?"At a 1960s music festival in a small New York town, guests will jam to popular bands with other concert-goers until Dr. Oddfellow unleashes vicious vampires on the audience."
Shipyard 32: Horrors Unhinged:?"Enter a 1940s San Francisco shipping yard filled with mysterious crates and cages emblazoned with Dr. Oddfellow's symbol." Beware, his nightmare anomalies have now escaped, bringing horror and devastation with them."
Universal Orlando will also reintroduce its classic Nightmare Fuel ride. The live concerts are recognized for their pounding music, pyrotechnics, and aerial displays. Nightmare Fuel Revenge Dream is the title of this year's show.
