Universal have just posted the full details for HHN 15 from September 30, and it sounds a grisly business (to say the least!). For those brave enough, it is a great occasion and isn't (usually) quite as terrifying as it sounds. The full details are as follows:
"Celebrating fifteen years of horror, Universal Orlando will reach an entirely new level of fright as it unveils one of the most intense Halloween Horror Nights events in its history.
Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando, one of the countrys largest and most elaborate Halloween celebrations, will be held at Universals Islands of Adventure theme park for nineteen nights. The event kicks off Sept. 30 and continues through October 1, October 7-9, October 12-16, October 20-23, and October 27-31, beginning at 6:30 p.m. each evening.
Guests will be transported to a twisted netherworld where chilling rituals will startle even the bravest visitors. Grotesque beasts will trek through foggy streets searching for unsuspecting travelers whose blood will nourish the macabre inhabitants. And the High Priestess, the half-woman, half-beast ruler of the society, presides on her throne where she delights as her minions pay homage to her during the terrifying bloodletting ceremonies.
And this year, using special content and the atmosphere of Islands of Adventure theme park, the events scream team of designers will create a first-of-its-kind twist to the eventtotal immersion. From the moment guests enter the theme park, they will feel what its like to be a member of this bizarre underworld civilization. From body collecting to bloodletting, visitors will see the frightening practices used in each haunted house. And these house themes, combined, will tell one terrifying story of this strange netherworld society.
Weve taken everything weve learned over the past fifteen years to create an event that will bring guests to a new level of terror, said Bob Gault, president and chief executive officer of Universal Orlando. The physical layout of Islands of Adventure theme park is an ideal backdrop to tell the story of this unnerving civilization. It will prove to be one of the most intense Halloween Horror Nights events in our history.
Halloween Horror Nights 15 will feature seven all-new haunted houses, new shows, including a new version of the popular Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure stage show, scare zones with no boundaries, and hundreds of new stalking characters created for their particular island and for the event.
The all-new haunted houses will draw on some of the most disturbing themes of the underworld society and visitors will be faced with their darkest fears in this ultimate test of survival. The haunted houses include: Body Collectors: Blood and gore is the business of the day in this industrial factory where processing human body parts is just part of the job; Demon Cantina: where the dead are living it up in this biker bar from hell, but there is always room for live-ly new patrons; The Skool: the children of the night celebrate Halloween in their own bizarre manner where guests turn out to be the treats for their celebration; Where Evil Hides: visitors try to escape their worst nightmares as they fumble through dark hallways, passages, and doors that may never open; Cold Blind Terror: where bone-chilling cold and blind terror numb the senses so visitors cannot see, hear, or escape; Blood Ruins: a plagued medieval village where torture is a way of life as the twisted creatures search for a never-ending source of blood.
For the first time ever, the event designers will create a horrific haunted house, Terror Mines, which focuses on the group experience rather than the individuals. This seventh haunted house forces a party of guests to work together to uncover an escape route or perish. Wearing a lighted helmet, the leader must navigate his or her group through the black, winding mazes avoiding subterranean beasts that live to battle interlopers. Visitors destinies are not their own as they must place their faith in their leader, who is randomly selected.
Halloween Horror Nights is a special ticket event and is $59.75 plus tax for day-of event. Florida residents can purchase tickets in advance for $52.75 plus tax. For more information or to purchase tickets, guests may visit the website at www.halloweenhorronights.com, at the front gate of the theme parks, and at Florida Spencers Gift locations. Because of the events popularity, tickets for weekend nights are expected to sell out and should be purchased far in advance.
