HALLOWEEN HORROR NIGHTS XX: AN OVERVIEW

EIGHT ALL-NEW HORRIFYING HAUNTED HOUSES

Horror Nights: The Hallow'd Past - Halloween Horror Nights. The name brings with it millions of tales, each filled with thousands of screams. Now, you have the opportunity to travel into a realm where Horror Nights isn't just an event, but a reality.

The Orfanage: Ashes to Ashes - Ashes to ashes, forever now dust. For years she has existed in the shadows, never getting her due. Misunderstood by all around her, she has had enough of her playthings at the Good Harvest Orphanage - now is the time for vengeance. This burned out shell contains the souls of the forgotten and the lost who all scream one name: Cindy.

Hades: The Gates of Ruin - Hades bids you welcome. Make your way into the Underworld, and come face to face with the most terrifying creatures of legend as you cross through the Gates of Ruin.

Psychoscarepy: Echoes of Shadybrook - The truth, as they say, is far stranger than fiction, and in this instance they happen to be correct. Although Shadybrook's doors have indeed been closed for the last 15 years, the place is still very much alive with all of the criminally insane souls that have ever walked its halls.

Havoc: Dogs of War - Ten years ago, the Shadowcreek Enterprise was tasked with developing an elite corp of soldiers. They succeeded. Through an inhalant that includes a compound of testosterone, adrenaline, and other anesthetics, Shadow Creek's latest run of volunteer test subjects are ready for inspection. The project name: HAVOC. The subjects are known simply as the Dogs of War.

Catacombs: Black Death Rising - During a plague of Paris and Marseilles in 1534, thousands died due to an undisclosed viral outbreak. A group of doctors took it upon themselves to quarantine the most infected citizens of the city. They had no way of knowing that the townspeople would betray them, sealing them into their doom. They have been unable to escape for almost five hundred years. Now that the dead inside have found a way out, they are rising to take their centuries old vengeance on any living being that dares to enter the Catacombs.

Zombiegeddon - The United States government has re-taken the continental United States, and is actively engaged in clearing the remaining infested pockets of Canada. The government also licenses and sanctions private companies to capture "un-live" subjects and use them as practical targets during these training sessions. Dozens of independent training consultant "companies" spring up, promising the best training that money can buy...and then there's ZAP...The Zombie Awareness Program.

Legendary Truth: The Wyandot Estate - The Spirit Seekers have come up with a machine that actually gathers spirits toward it. The group has decided to do a live broadcast from inside one of the most reportedly "haunted" sites in the entire United States, The Wyandot Estate, built in the 1920's in Carey, Ohio by the entrepreneur Malcolm Wyandot and his wife Lydia. The house has been rumored to be haunted since Malcolm brutally killed 13 dinner guests and his wife Lydia before committing suicide on October 30, 1929. The team is about to get more than they bargained for as the murdered hear their call and answer with terrible violence.

SIX INESCAPABLE SCAREZONES

HHN: 20 Years of Fear - Step into the shadows of the last Twenty Years of Fear. Move toward the lantern, and encounter the most frightening characters of Halloween Horror Nights past.

Fear Revealed - The souls of Chaos, Death, Sacrifice, Mythos and Vengeance - He created them and gave them terror. Each with a part to play, they fulfilled their tasks. Their malice provided him bone, their rage gave him blood, and their terror fulfilled his soul. What has been 19 cycles for some have been eons for him. He's waited patiently for the final piece, and now on the 20th cycle... HE IS REVEALED.

Zombie Gras - This Mardi Gras parade has gone severely off course. Infected by the North American zombie infestation, the undead walk among us, searching for their next meal...

Esqueleto Muerte - Revel in the seductive taunts of Death as you wind through a glowing skeletal nightmare.

Saws 'n Steam - Enormous trenches in the earth's crust have opened below its vast oceans, exposing them to intense heat. Steam power is essential to the inhabitants of New Yorkshire, but diminishing oceans have put the city in jeopardy, forcing the citizens to evil lengths. Beware upon entering the city, as the water in your body is now a coveted resource. And the citizens will stop at nothing to get it.

The Coven - The Cult of the Raven has unsettled spirits, and its Sirens are screaming throughout the witches' realm. As you creep past their obelisk, beware their spells. For those who don't believe will be condemned to death.

TWO OUTRAGEOUS LIVE SHOWS

Bill & Ted's Excellent Halloween Adventure - Party on as those two most excellent dudes return to skewer the biggest names in entertainment and pop culture.

Brian Brushwood: Menace and Malice - Experience two realms of bizarre magic by one of the country's most outrageous illusionists.

I'm not sure if anyone has noticed, but the full reveal has continued the trend of Bloody Mary's exclusion, with the 20 years of fear section having the other 5 icons in flame and the fear revealed scarezone/show? mentioning the spirits of Chaos (Jack), Death (Caretaker), Sacrifice (Director), Mythos (Stroyteller), and Vengeance (Usher), but nothing that could be tied to Mary Agana or her possesed form.

Well my guess is they want to bury all that had to do with Reflections of Fear...it was a good concept but pulled off really poorly. I am especially allowed to say that...I was in the house....

Congrats to everyone who's participated in the investigation so far (Myself included), we wouldn't have gotten this far if it wasn't for you. Hope LT continues on with the investigaton into the havoc they have wrought by unleashing Adaru, opefully with an emphasis on how to banish him back from whence he came (If LT doesn't do this, I hope Uni. or Richards contacts us to help them do this). This Cool boy is exhausted (who knew helping to unleash untold horrors nto our world would be SO exhausting) so I'm heading off to bed for the night (what remains of it). Here's to a most excellent 20 years of horror (even though I've only attended 2 I've been fascinated by this event since I was in the single digits) and to many more after this. C U guyZ 2morro B)

To what others have said of Bloody Mary in the past and as I have heard it, the rights to use that name/character are no longer in Universal's hands. Hence her exclusion.

Sweeping a less than stellar House under the rug is one thing, but Bloody Mary was tied into each House and Scarezone of 2008. I would personally like to see her again and not be left with her as the prodigal icon.

I like how everything is pretty much EXACTLY what's been rumored.

yep, the Dogs or war, the Zombie house, The Hades house, the only new things that I'm glad I saw was the scarezones and the legendary truth house,

HOUSES:

Catacombs: Black Death Rising = Tent 1

Hades: The Gates of Ruin = SS23

Horror Nights: The Hollowed Past = Parade Building

Havoc: Dogs of War = Tent 2

Zombiegeddon: The Zombie Awareness Program = Disaster! Queue

Legendary Truth: The Wyandot Estate = SS22

Psychoscareapy: Echoes of Shadybrook = SS23

Orfanage: Ashes to Ashes = Jaws Queue

SCAREZONES:

The Coven = Shrek Alley

Zombie Gras = San Francisco

Saws 'N Steam = New York

Esqueleto Muerte = Production Central?

Fear Revealed = Mel's

HHN: 20 Years of Fear = Hollywood

Im wondering, would the zombie house be like dead exposure, or I wonder how different it could be?

and Catacombs: Black Death Rising, what would that be like?

also in the scarezones the only one that sounds so-so to me is Saws "N steam, What could they do there? just a bunch of steampunk stuff?

no rocky horror :angry: oh well...

I'm going to predict that Saws N' Steam isn't just steampunk characters... it might be where our Chainsaw Drill Team is as well (SAWS and steam). At least, I hope so.

-I'm over zombies. A scarezone and house seems a bit much. The scarezone would be great but a post zombie apocolypse house again feels like an afterthought on their part.

I would be with you if this didn't have a scent of more of a leave it to cleaver rather than usual scary house. I think and hope it is more like The Zombie Survival Guide house. I hate zombie movies, but Shaun of the Dead was amazing . That's what I'm hoping for here. Less serious more jokey.

I had that thought too (the whole after Z-day thing...Shaun of the Dead. They had them last year but it would be fun!) If I think campy I get more of a Land of the Dead vibe where all the zombies are chained up for pictures and fighting for money and things. More goofy like you're saying. I agree though. I hope it goes this way.

Also after watching the video of Fear posted on the site, can I just say I'm loving having and actual monster for an icon (can we count him as an icon yet? SuperIcon?) All the others are essentially creepy looking humans and I like that this year will be a true monster. Sets a great tone.
