The underwater scene could use a hallway with a plexiglass tank with the walls going about half way up on each side. Fill them with water, then have the path go between them and the creature reach out and possibly splash. With the right lighting and effects... This could work great.

“We have literally hundreds of people cast as walkers” says show director Patrick Braillard “You’re going to see a horde of walkers at certain times completely surround you.” Found that on behind the thrills.

Penn&Teller Newk’d Las Vegas-Magicians Penn&Teller are known for pushing the envelope. They push the envelope with the classic trick of catching a bullet with your teeth…instead of a bullet they use and Intercontinental Ballistic Missile….and miss. What results is a hellish, but hilarious look at what would happen if Vegas were to be affected by radiation. Three boob showgirls are just the beginning. Spoiler-Penn&Teller will appear in the house every night…by way of special effects. One part in the house, however has been constructed so that it will pull away and on select nights Penn&Teller will actually appear! Found that on behind the thrills.

Universal’s House of Horrors-Universal was built on monsters. They have a deep legacy that runs 100 years with film, so of course they have to pay homage to the very fathers of horror. House of Horrors will use technologies and techniques never before used at Horror Nights. You’ll crawl through caves, go underwater with the Creature, and even explore curses with the Mummy. The entire house will also be in stunning “black and white” That is on behind the thrills.

Normally not. When I was a slider for a local haunt... I just used conductors from lowes that were made of metal and put them on my gloves and boots. With steel toes and pads, the spark when used on concrete. I understand why universal doesn't like them. They tear up the concrete after a while.

I found that on twitter... i sense a sarcastic tone to it. Could a modified version of the fearster bunny be making a return?

I found this on Instagram. I "believe" it may be from Hollywood.. but just in case.

It looks like they are getting a bit darker. Which is cool. I think they can do a good job, they just need to get some tricks that work on a larger audience.

Those pictures look fantastic! Glad I still have my glasses Thanks!

Something cool i noticed on the new site update. it seems like that is the angled board room from Forsaken last year. Looks great!

After looking at the reveal of fear video for 2010, my money is on fear bing involved this year. It sounds like him, the end if the video says he arrives. One of the clues says "he is returning". I also love the quote in the video that says " this is not about th past. This is about the future." I can't wait for midnight !

My completely uneducated guess as for SS44 and the whole... "dug up" something not from this world. Is something with the caretaker. Caretaker was fear's choice to represent DEATH. Caretaker as far as I know, is not of this world. He has never really died as far as I know, but... he doesn't really look alive haha. As far as SS44, I can see them doing something like a area that was dug up where the caretaker was buried. In that area with all the construction.. all they need to do is make it safe for people to be near, and add some effects like a tomb and random stuff around it. But yea, all this is me completely throwing stuff out there after i had my morning coffee... We will find out tomorrow YAY!

Ok, sounds good. Thanks again for the help!

Kind of a stupid question, but my finance and I are going to be in universal for our honeymoon...and she came to HHN with me last year because I begged her. She won't go in the houses when they are "LIVE" this year, and I feel inclined to not dragged her through it because it is our honeymoon haha. She LOVES the backstory and design of the houses though. Can we get tickets for the Unmasking tours and just do that, without buying HHN tickets? Or is it something where you need to buy HHN tickets AND the Unmasking tickets? I will probably go through HHN myself this year while she is in bed haha. Thanks for the help all

May be going out on a limb here... But I think that doll is in the Victorian ghost house. I just have a hunch.

http://behindthethrills.com/2012/08/unnamed-projects-under-heavy-construction-at-universal-orlando/ 6th pic down.. "An area that is getting ready is the Soundstage directly behind the Music Plaza stage and to the left of the Rip Ride Rockit entrance (I believe 23, may be mistaken). We did manage to get a peek inside, though you can’t see it too well, there is a good amount of what looks like blue light being rigged up. Lots of neon looking lights. You can also see panels going in the stage door."

That sounds cool now. The thing I'm worried about, is th universal monsters in the environment. I just can't see the mummy jumping out in a club aha. Though, I could see them do something like die-in. Rooms in the club are based on movies, remixed versions of the main songs from each movie. Add a well timed strobe color effect like you said and I think it might be great.

I trust in universal to make a great house. I just worry... I don't think a dance house can be effectively scary. If its remixed, cool.. I'll bite. If its not? Sweet, new house.

So it's safe to say we get universal monsters remixed from USH? Or something like it?

"    (7/24/12) ParkScope has posted a new image showing off what the the new and improved London shoreline will look like once they are done with it. I’ve also heard elsewhere than the staff of the old Amity Games area has been told that the first new games by Simpsons are expected to be ready to go in time for Halloween Horror Nights.". That is on screamsape. So my guess would be Klownz near simpsons. Also... Are the Klownz from hhn 21 Hollywood the type we are expecting for This year?

.. there is one of them moving. The problem with something like that. Is they are massive, and more stationary. They also probably cost a small fortune. If we get something that is built like the puppeteer dragons, but has the look of something like the USJ dragons. I think it will be pretty effective. If they can get good puppeteers that can use them well, and move quickly in the suits. It will be great!

.. just less cute.

Great pics, JWFearman! I'm loving the house detail so far.

Free Falling - Vampires. There's no room in hell - Walking dead reference. Also could be a scarezone zombie roaming area. Lampy swore he saw one - Gargoyles. London gargoyles. School's out - Alice related. School's out for summer, it's returning during his house in october. Serious, Joking - Not sure about this one. It's clown related... but im unsure. I've seen shit - Paranormal house related. I'll be seeing you - Not sure about this one. Lollipop - I'm going with a drive in scare zone, from the 50's. Almost like XX. " She's gonna be back and she always is" - Of all the female choices. I'm going to go with the Terra Queen on this one. Not sure why... but i just have a feeling.

wow... that really puts in in perspective. Good for them for making it work in such a small spot, but we have much more room in a tent. Yay!
