I’ve never been able to partake in Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights, but everything I read about it makes me envious of those who have gotten the chance; so much so, that I aim to venture there myself this year. Then I shall be the one everyone envies. I know, it’s a stretch…
This might be a good year to do it too, since the dream master himself, Freddy Krueger, will be haunting the joint! I was assuming it would be based on Robert Englund’s Freddy but it appears it’s taking a cue from Jackie Earle Haley’s more recent incarnation… (In reality, it’ll be Dude Getting Paid 8 Bucks An Hour’s Freddy.)
From the press release: “A Nightmare on Elm Street: Never Sleep Again,” will bring guests back on a nightmare journey to the town of Springwood, the scene of Freddy Krueger’s unspeakable crimes. They’ll wind through the ominously twisting corridors of the Barham Day Care Center, glimpse ghastly scenes of carnage among the young people of Springwood and face the ultimate showdown with Freddy in his infamous boiler room lair.
The new maze is based upon the 2010 motion picture, “A Nightmare on Elm Street” which opened to number one at the box office earlier this year.
The 2010 “Halloween Horror Nights” event at Universal Studios Hollywood will offer spine-chilling new mazes based upon the horror genre’s most compelling characters. Rob Zombie and other top artists are collaborating with Universal Studios Hollywood in the creation of new mazes, “scare zones” and backlot experiences.
The theme park’s favorite thrill-ride attractions will also remain open for “Halloween Horror Nights” as well, many with menacing twists. Favorites include “The Simpsons Ride,” “Revenge of the Mummy– The Ride” and “Jurassic Park In the Dark.”
Dunno about you, but “Jurassic Park In The Dark” sounds very sexy indeed…
