HALLOWEEN HORROR NIGHTS FEATURES: Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood features the most elaborate mazes, props, special effects, and makeup of any Halloween haunt in Los Angeles. Like Knott’s Scary Farm, Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights features a mix of mazes, shows, and scare zones specially crafted for the season.
UPDATE FOR HALLOWEEN HORROR NIGHTS 2011: Universal Studios Hollywood goes all out, almost totally revamping its haunt for this year. There are six mazes (instead of four), and almost all of them are new. The Scare Zones feature a couple of returnees, plus some new additions.

- NEW! The Thing: Assimilation
- NEW! Eli Roth’s Hostel: Hunting Season
- NEW! Alice Cooper: Welcome to My Nightmare
- NEW! La Llarorona: Villa de Almas Perdidas
- NEW! The Wolfman: The Curse of Talbot Hall

2011 HALLOWEEN HORROR NIGHTS SCARE ZONES: Most of 2009’s scare zones (e.g., Shaun of the Dead) have been replaced, some with zones themed to nearby mazes.
- NEW! Scream
- NEW! The Reapers
- NEW! Zombieville
- Klownz (in the New York City area)
- Freakz (renegade sideshow performers)
OTHER 2011 HALLOWEEN HORROR NIGHTS ATTRACTIONS: The Terror Tram is back, and so is the popular Bill & Ted Halloween show.
- The Terror Tram features the usual tour of the back lot, including a walk past the Psycho House. This year, the theme is “SCREAM 4 Your Life”.
- Bill & Ted’s Excellent Halloween Adventure is back, offering pop culture spoofs and a chance to sit down and take a break from walking around the park.
2011 HALLOWEEN HORROR NIGHTS RIDES: All of the regular rides and attractions remain open for business, some especially decked out for Halloween. Univeral promises to transform the standard attractions into “bloodbaths, as if scenes from hororr films…exploded to life.”

OTHER HALLOWEEN HORROR NIGHTS INFORMATION: The official website advises that this event is not recommended for children under 13. No costumes or masks are allowed.
HALLOWEEN HORROR NIGHTS HISTORY: After a disappointing debut in the 1980s, Universal Studios Halloween Horror presentation was resurrected to good effect in the 1990s, including numerous elaborate mazes, featuring brand names like Rob Zombie and Clive Barker. After the turn of the millennium, Universal’s Hollywood studios neglected to present a Halloween attraction for a number of years (although Universal Studios in Florida did have a 2005 haunt). 2006 saw Universal Studios Hollywood back in business for Halloween.
