Theme park and attraction news, rumors and videos.
I am a huge fan of the “Scream” franchise. I remember as a young teenager hearing so much buzz surrounding the film. It was a sleeper hit that kept growing week after week. It seemed like everyone had seen it except me.
Pseudonym Productions has launched a new digital experience that resurrects the fun of the haunt season by bringing the scares online with “Virtual Frights.”
Many people are planning indoor Halloween celebrations this year, which would explain why Google is reporting that searches for “horror films” have risen by a whopping 2,750%. With so many scary movies to choose from, experts at the online calculator service GIGAcalculator.com decided to find out which frightening flicks deliver the most scares.
Even though Halloween Horror Nights isn’t happening as usual at Universal Orlando Resort this year, you can still bring some of the spooky tastes home with this recipe for the Nachos Queso Fundido!
As a kid, I always thought that if an attraction was in a Universal Studios theme park, that meant it was a Universal film. As I grew older, I started to recognize that isn’t the case, and that a lot of the time, intellectual properties are licensed in order to use certain characters in the parks. A great example is “Beetlejuice.” For a long time, I thought this was a Universal character since he was featured so much in the park. I was surprised to find out that that film was distributed by Warner Bros. It was equally as confusing at a younger age with everything at Disney-MGM Studios.
Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando Resort got a bit of a makeover this year, but there are still plenty of Halloween tricks and pumpkin-y treats to help everyone celebrate the most horrifying time of year.
Right from the top, I’ll admit that I am not the biggest fan of “The Simpsons.” I haven’t seen very many episodes and I simply was never enthralled by it the way so many are. But it always seemed like a no-brainer to me that “The Simpsons” could have (and should have) been a part of Halloween Horror Nights in the Universal Studios theme parks. But now, it’s probably too late and this opportunity has been missed.
Attractions Magazine is proud to announce that we will be presenting “We Party On,” a live-streamed virtual reunion of the original creators and performers of Bill & Ted’s Excellent Halloween Adventure, on Oct. 22 as a benefit for the Greater Orlando Performing Arts Relief fund.
In a typical year, we’d already be several weeks into the excitement and scares of Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood. But as we all know, things are different this year. Let’s instead take a look back at the excitement and hard work it took when I performed as a scareactor for a few years at this iconic event.
Thanks to Universal Orlando, we are able to bring you these photos and videos inside Revenge of the Tooth Fairy, one of two haunted houses being featured this year for what we like to call Halloween Horror Lites.
