Hey Thrill Seekers,

Universal Orlando have announced more amazing houses for Halloween Horror Nights 25! AND they are bringing back a classic – An American Werewolf in London!!! This house first appeared in 2013 and was an instant hit. Universal, working closely with  film Director John Landis produced one of the most authentic and scary experiences to date – I was lucky enough to visit the house back in 2013 – read about it here. But for those not familiar here’s the lowdown;

An American Werewolf in London

The retelling of the classic 1981 John Landis horror film, An American Werewolf in London.

You’ll find yourself back on the English moors as you fend off attacks and witness the bone-crunching transformations. The best part? The wolf pack has expanded, and they’re going to be even more ferocious with a whole new look.

3 Possible Houses For Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights 24

Hey Thrill Seekers,

I love Halloween Horror Nights! Universal’s premier scare-a-thon is packed full of interesting and creative images, ideas and stories. We first starting working closely with Universal for HHN last year, we were very privileged to be at a press conference for the revealing of the American Werewolf in London house attended by none other than the creator himself John Landon and we also had the opportunity to visit Universal and sample Halloween Horror Nights first hand.

Over the upcoming months Universal will slowly reveal how each of the 8 iconic houses will be themed, last year they did this at midnight (USA time) and offered such delights as a Cabin in the Woods and an Evil Dead House.

Today I thought I’d take a punt at 3 houses that might make the 2014 cut. These aren’t confirmed and are simply me taking a guess.

Chucky

The Chucky franchise spawns  generations and in 2013 Universal Pictures release the Curse of Chucky a straight to DVD movie in which Chucky returns to wreak havoc. Its definitely not Oscar material but the legacy of Chucky has caused many a scream in the past.

Imagine walking through a house never knowing when Chucky is going to jump out at you…

Curse-of-Chucky-600

Mama

Another Universal Pictures 2013 release, this story has the same kind of feel to one of last years houses La Llorona and could be a great fit. The film deals with the story of two young girls abandoned in a forest cabin, fostered by an unknown entity that they fondly call “Mama”, which eventually follows them to their new suburban home after their uncle retrieves them…

Creepy and scary everything a good Halloween Horror Nights House should be. 🙂

The Purge

Yep I know Universal California had a Purge scare zone in 2013 but the breakout film has a sequel for release in 2014 so perhaps a dedicated house could be on the way to Orlando.

The Purge tells the story set in the future of a wealthy family held hostage for harboring the target of a murderous syndicate during the Purge, a 12-hour period in which any and all crime is legalized.

the-purge-2-release-date-leadSo there we have it my 3 guesses for 8 of the houses we can expect at Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights. I’ll keep you posted when we get exact details including pricing.

Screams included…
