Halloween Horror Nights Maze Comes To Universal Studios #UniversalHHN

August 6, 2016 by Dawn McAlexander

Halloween Horror Nights Maze Comes To Universal Studios #UniversalHHN

Who’s ready for Halloween? I have to say, it’s one of my favorite holidays of the year. I love the lights, the bonfires, the crunchy leaves, the candy and, perhaps most of all, the things that creep me out. For those who love to get spooked, Universal Studios has something special in store for you this year. Horror is coming for the holidays this year with the all new Halloween Horror Nights Maze based on the the hit film, Krampus!

Halloween Horror Nights Maze Comes To Universal Studios

Beginning 9/16/16, the terrifying and dark Christmas legend, Krampus, will come to life at Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort.

Halloween Horror Nights Maze Comes To Universal Studios #UniversalHHN

The creative minds behind the nation’s best and most extreme Halloween events unleash the wrath of Krampus, Legendary Pictures and Universal Pictures’ Christmas-themed horror film co-written and directed by Michael Dougherty, in a sinister new “Halloween Horror Nights” maze.

The dead of winter sets the stage for the terror that’s about to unfold one cold, dank and dreary Christmas Eve as the fabled anthropomorphic “half-goat, half-demon” horned creature emerges to terrorize those devoid of holiday spirit.  In scenes lifted from the film, guests will navigate the dysfunctional Engel family home to encounter the evil ancient spirit of Krampus – the dark shadow of Saint Nicholas – and his band of Dark Elves and sinister Gingerbread Men, who cause the family to fight to see the light of day.

If you love Halloween like I do, then Universal Studios’ “Halloween Horror Nights” is the ultimate Halloween event. Guests from all over the world have visited Halloween Horror Nights for the past 25 years+. The theme parks in both California and Florida transform their parks into highly-themed scare zones where visitors can get lost in their favorite horror films and experience “scare-actors” coming at them from every creepy, darkened corner.

All around the theme parks you will find movie quality haunted houses based on all of your favorite slasher films, hit horror television shows and spooky original stories.

Keep checking back. I will share with you additional details about Universal Studios’ “Halloween Horror Nights” as I receive them.

      Well, you still have 2.5 months, so you still have time to warm up to the idea. 🙂

    I am so intrigued by this at Universal. Part of me wants to go and be apart of it, and part of me is like no way!
