Advance Screaming

We had a good time, it was hot, not to crowded, but fun. We got to see 5 out of the 8 houses, we both agreed that the Wolfman house was the best as far as theming and scares. We've been to a lot of HHN's and this year was "just OK", I liked a lot of the themes but the whole overall feel was "just OK". We might go back, money is tight this year, I get in free but we have to buy a pass for Jen, so we'll see.

Halloween Horror Nights Corrections

So it appears that the Orlando Sentinel either got some bad information or they just got it twisted a little bit. I'm pleased with the misinformation, because there is no Texas Chainsaw Massacre this year! Here are all of the official house and scare-zone names for Halloween Horror Night 2009.

"Tickets Please!"

The schedule


8 Houses

This one should be awesome with a bunch of different movies featured within. I've read that it will have the Phantom of the Opera, Shaun of the Dead, and My Bloody Valentine just to name a few characters.

The Shows


"MOST EXCELLENT!"

Looks much better without the TCM, stay tuned for more info as it becomes available and pictures from the preview. I love my job!

Themes For Halloween Horror Nights Orlando

"Two houses will be devoted to Dracula and Dr. Frankenstein's monster. Two others are inspired by B movies based on a Midwestern, chainsaw-wielding family and "cannibalistic humanoid underground dwellers," Roddy said. The eighth house will highlight several horror films including Shaun of the Dead and The Phantom of the Opera".

"The scare zones will spotlight corpses reanimated into super-soldiers, a toxic green mist, a chainsaw drill team, an abandoned drive-in theater and half-human, half-beasts. One zone will be devoted to Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant, a Universal Pictures film also set to open Oct. 23".

"Two stage shows return: "Bill & Ted's Excellent Halloween Adventure" and " The Rocky Horror Picture Show: A Tribute."

House we already knew...
Saw
Child's Play
The Wolfman

I knew but had not posted...
Dracula
Frankenstein

So #6,7, and 8 are...
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
C.H.U.D.
and a house where each room is probably themed for a different film.

Scare Zones
Super-soldiers Zombies
Toxic green mist
Chainsaw drill team
Abandoned drive-in theater
Half-human, half-beasts
Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant

I'm not so excited about some of these, I'm sure it will be fun. I guess I get my hopes up and then they go and bring the freaking "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" back again for the third time. WTF! We were hoping we would get the "Halloween, Michael Myers" house like there are doing at Universal Hollywood!?! I know I sound like a spoiled little kid, but I just hate it when they rehash houses over and over again. People want new houses each year, at least take a year off between rerunning a house. The other houses should be good, I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with the classic monsters. I'm also looking forward to seeing the Abandoned drive-in theater and the Cirque Du Freak scare zones. Less then 28 days till the employee preview!

The last two times I checked the Universal Orlando Halloween Horror Nights website new content had been added. I'm loving the theme this year!

Halloween Horror Nights 2009: Ripped From the Silver Screen!

I don't want to say that I called it, but I will, and I did. It was just revealed today that Halloween Horror Nights 2009 will be called "Ripped From the Silver Screen!". The three themes of houses that have been revealed so far are; Saw, The Wolfman, and Chucky from Child's Play. I can't wait to see what the other 4 or 5 themes will be, especially if the are all movie themed. They better not be redos of Freddy, Jason, and Leather Face again!
