All things Universal Studios Hollywood

Really? That's sad. I wanted to check it out. Any reason why they aren't doing it?

A scare actor I know said it wasn’t popular enough. Him and others were blaming it on a lack of marketing

 

[THE 1HAPPY HAUNT]

really hope you aint referring to the 2016 movie

Ghostbusters is better than everything.

I miss Elvira at Knotts.

I miss Elvira at Knotts.

We were always happy to miss her. One of the worst shows we ever saw in the Ghoul Time Theatre. It was sad to see her forgetting so many lines and not moving around.

 

[Rich T]

I liked Elvira's cheesy haunted simulator ride film. Saw it at the Oregon Zoo.

 

[Phroobar]

She is getting old but the tassel trilling is pretty mesmerizing.

[Phroobar]

Yikes! That is got to hurt! She missed the water. I hope she is ok. Looks like she missed the poll and slipped. I can't find any news reports about it yet.

Something similar happened in 2017 when one of the stunt men fell from up there. You see him fall at the 12 min mark.

At least he made it in the water, though. Also at least he was a he. It's so much worse seeing a woman get injured.

Rumored to come:

Us
Creepshow
House of 1000 Corpses
Pandoras Box (original)

I'm not digging that puppet. The Tales from the Crypt one is better.

I hope Universal gets away from the lazy scare maze they done recently. Basically you walk into a highly detailed room where there might be a monster. Then you walk into a black room where the monster pops up with loud noise and strobe lights. Then your in another room with nothing really happening then back into the black room for another jump scare. The ending is always multiple black jump scare rooms.

On the other hand, Knotts fully realizes all the rooms and populates them with multiple monsters. There are no loud noises and blinding flashes for the monsters. They typically just wonder by and make sounds near you.

Magic Mountain relies on teenages screaming at you in cheap and poorly themed environments.

Make the trek East to Orlando to go to the true HHN, you get highly detailed rooms with monsters inside and multi level scares. The kings of theme park Halloween are Knott’s and USF, no one else can measure up.

 

[George Lucas on a Bench]

Yeah come on down to HHN in Florida where we have a bunch of drunken redneck riffraff and guys with chainsaws everywhere.

Yep the Hollywood version is not as highly praised as the Orlando one.

Good to know.


When is Universal going to do a Cats maze?

 

[Professortango1]

At least we're not getting all Blumhouse and all Slasher mazes like we were for so many years. Original concepts and varied IPs have been missing for far too long.
