Universal Orlando has released details about the scare zones that will be in place at their resort this season. Halloween Horror Nights will welcome zones based on the films Trick ‘r Treat and The Purge, along with two live shows.
Halloween Horror Nights begins on September 15, and guests will be able to take part in five scare zones. This year, these horrifying street experiences will live within a collection of the most unearthly and macabre terrors called The Festival of the Deadliest. From the depths where nightmares are born, this horrifying "scare zone" is an ancient tradition filled with hellish wonders that are hard to resist and impossible to escape.
Once guests enter this hallowed celebration of blood and bone, their nightmares will never end as they'll attempt to survive two unique "scare zones" based on two celebrated horror films - iconic Halloween film Trick ‘r Treat and popular film franchise The Purge - as well as two additional original "scare zones" reaped from the twisted minds of Universal Orlando's Entertainment Team. Joining these horrific street experiences are nine disturbingly real haunted houses and two outrageous live shows - creating the ultimate Halloween event that no soul can survive.
Trick ‘r Treat: Inspired by the iconic horror film from Legendary Pictures and directed by Michael Dougherty, guests will be thrust into the traditions of Halloween with an authentic showcase to celebrate the haunted holiday. Surrounded by jack-o'-lanterns and door steps awaiting trick-or-treaters, the infamous Sam will be lurking in the shadows to strictly enforce the rules of Halloween - and those who disobey will pay the price…
The Purge: An American tradition returns to the streets of Halloween Horror Nights with the annual Purge set to commence. This gory "scare zone" will feature the return of fan-favorite characters from the film saga and the notorious victim auction whose bidders want nothing more than to exercise their right to Purge.
INVASION!: Guests will become the grotesque human experiments of fearless alien scientists who continue to plan the preeminent destruction of planet Earth.
Altars of Horror: Guests will come face-to-face with some of the most horrifying characters found in this year's assemblage of haunted mazes - based on iconic horror films and terrifying hit TV shows.
The two live shows that will be featured this year are ACADEMY OF VILLAINS: AFTERLIFE - incorporating fearsome elements from this year's Festival of the Deadliest "scare zone." Plus, after 26 years of Excellent Halloween Adventures, Bill and Ted are bringing their Farewell Tour to Halloween Horror Nights.
