This October Universal Studios is hosting the Halloween Horror Nights celebration. I’m not quite sure how to describe it, so I’ll let them have a go:
Universal Studios Hollywood, The Entertainment Capital of LA, will blur the line between frightful illusion and grim reality with its presentation of ”Halloween Horror Nights” beginning Friday the 13th of October. The event will be helmed by “The Director” ¯ a sociopathic cinematic auteur – who will convert Universal’s working studio backlot and the theme park’s most popular rides and attractions into terrifyingly realistic settings for an intense and enveloping vision of mayhem. By creating the ambiance of a true “horror genre” production, “The Director” will set the stage for a transformative horror experience.
Hard to live up to all that hype, but it certainly sounds cool. Now The Director has posted a webisode over at his MySpace page. It’s short and relatively interesting. On top of that you can check out two fairly nasty audition clips over here and here. Just a nice bit of genre weirdness to get you in the mood for the season.
