Universal Orlando Halloween Horror Nights 22

Man, that Silent Hill house looks awesome! I only wish they put the mangled man on that toilet with the "double dare you". He looked creepy in the game, movie, and I'm sure he would have in this house! I hope I can go check this thing out this year!

^I sort of suspect that they will, and will just have a live scareactor rigged there for shock value, thus the lack of it in the report. Just rewatched the movie last night, and that house looks amazing.

I got to see Silent Hill at USH HHN earlier this week and while similar, this one was much further along. They had to start Silent Hill and TX Chainsaw Massacre later than the rest due to Transformers and JP's extended queues.

 

Looks pretty awesome!!! Thanks for sharing.

I watched Silent Hill right before leaving for China. It's a good little horror flick and should make a good maze—especially if you're into stacked, butt-ugly nurses (have not played the video games). Thanks for the sneak peek, Jack and Jacqui.

[Jew]

Haven't seen the movies or played the games, but just from reading stuff online---it looks like there is a ton of awesome content to build a maze upon. I'm sure the maze on both coasts will be very good.

Thanks for the update, Jack! Really impressed by the detail in the Silent Hill maze! Love the openness of that schoolyard scene.

Glad to hear they are going to have Pyramid Head in the house. One of the disappointments from when Sinister Pointe did SH was that Pyramid Head was a prop.

With all due respect to Universal Orlando's amazing production team, the bathroom at my local gas station is far more scary.

Wasn't it an Animatronic? What is pretty bad?

I hope the Silent Hill maze isn't such a disappointment like the movie

Looks like someone at Universal might have read my complaining on here because the Scream Early tickets are now available on the HHN website. $19.99 for access to IOA or The Studios park at 3pm. This ticket also allows you to stay in the park while they change over for the event and you can usually hit a few houses before the regular crowds get through the gates.

[ernierocker]

^Such an awesome deal. I don't think it would be necessarily worth it to try and go to IOA since you would have to make it all the way to one of the holding areas for Stay and Scream, but if you just go to the Studios park, you could fit in a few rides before the park closes. Just getting the early head start on the houses is worth $19.99 to me!

[Hilltopper39]

I've never gone to IoA early but I think they allow you to access the studios through a backstage pathway after the park is closed, I might try that this year if I make it to the event.

I am so excited for this weekend, I can't wait to hear what everybody thinks!

[esvadj]

I am going to HHN for my first time this year and I am very excited for it. This may be a stupid question but, are all the attractions open during HHN?

 

My plan is to hit IOA during the day and head to Universal mid afternoon with a Stay and Scream pass. I am worried about no being able to hit all the major Universal attractions before the haunt begins.

[BBparks57]

Once the actual Haunt begins, only a few major attractions stay open during the night. This year I believe it is Despicable me, Rockit, Mummy, Men in Black and Simpsons. I've noticed in years past Mummy having a much longer line during the event, so try and hit up the major rides before the event starts.

 

 

Also, How do you all feel about the Horror Movie Lagoon show? I think it is an amazing idea and could add some awesome atmosphere. I think as long as it's once or a few times a night, it will be awesome...just not constant.

[OCJ48]

If you have Express, hit Rockit before the event starts or as early as possible. It's the only ride that's open and doesn't have an Express line. Do be careful though, as they usually close Rockit about half an hour to 45 minutes before the park closes on HHN days so that the line has time to clear before security sweeps the park.

Sooo...who else, besides me, is going to HHN friday?

[CorkscrewFoley]

Being a Silent Hill fan, of both the games and the movie, I went nuts when I saw this...I do hope they have Pyramid Head walking around, stalking prey.

He's a stilt walker. Universal's said you'll find him in all of the rooms with high ceilings. Should be epic!

[Wes]

^ Sounds amazing!!!!

[Pufferfish]

Friday is just around the corner, and I seriously could not be more excited for this year's Horror Nights if I tried. As a fan of the Silent Hill franchise, some of those preview pictures make me feel almost giddy. Universal better not let me down with this one, they have been pushing all my buttons lately(that's a rant for another time though).

You know I'm there

[ernierocker]

Is there not going to be an employee preview night this year?

[Wes]

^ I thought I saw some tweets indicating it was last night.

[Mr. Starr]

The Employee Preview is tonight, and it looks like a few people will be live-tweeting the event.
