Resident Evil Escape from Raccoon City the final Halloween Horror Nights House

Raccoon City is overrun with Umbrella Corporation’s most terrifying experiments, and the only option is complete destruction. You’ll need to duck and dodge Lickers, Hunters, and Nemesis himself if you want any chance of escaping Capcom’s video game terrors before missiles send everything back to hell.

BEWARE THE MOON…

You can feel someone… or something… following you. But it’s already too late. The hair rising on the back of your neck is the last thing you feel before you’re ripped limb from limb by the blood-thirsty beast…

This fall, the terrifying classic An American Werewolf in London will become an all-new haunted house at Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights 23. Universal Orlando’s Entertainment team is partnering with the film’s critically-acclaimed writer and director John Landis to create a disturbingly-real haunted house experience that pays homage to one of the greatest lycanthropic stories ever told.

The iconic film follows two American college students, Jack and David, as they backpack across the moors of England. On a misty, full-moon night, the men are attacked by a supernatural creature that kills Jack and taints David with its horrific curse. When the full moon rises again, the killing spree continues, and this time, the blood is on David’s hands.

Beginning September 20, guests will step inside the film and experience a retelling of the horror classic – from the attack on the English moors to the hospital nightmares to witnessing the bone-crunching transformation of David from human to bloodthirsty werewolf. Guests will encounter David’s vicious werewolf form as he wreaks bloody chaos through London’s subway tunnel, Piccadilly Circus and more.

“It’s terrific that guests will be able to actually experience some of the scarier scenes from the film,” said John Landis, writer and director of An American Werewolf in London. “I had fun working with the Universal team to bring one of my more insane movies to life.”

“An American Werewolf in London is a must-see for any true horror fan,” said Mike Aiello, Creative Director for Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights. “The haunted maze mirrors John Landis’ horrifying story and having him work with us in the creative process was really the only way this could authentically come to life.”

¿DÓNDE ESTÁN MIS HIJOS?

Her legend is one of tragedy…of murder. To hear her mournful cries sends chills down your spine colder than the murky, watery depths she drowned her victims within. Forced to eternally walk the earth, she seeks others to share her pain and suffering – now and forever…

Guests will come face to face with the 500-year old legend that has haunted millions of people in Latin America for generations, as the popular Mexican legend La Llorona comes to life as a haunted house at Universal Orlando Resort’s Halloween Horror Nights 23.

It will begin when guests enter an old Mexican chapel where they hear La Llorona’s horrifying tale of murder, tragedy and fatal love. Guests step into the funeral of her victims, and as they progress, they’ll hear her cold, ghostly whisper that announces her presence.

“La Llorona’s intriguing and tragic story has been terrifying people in Mexico and all over Latin America for centuries,” said Mike Aiello, Creative Director for Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights. “And now at Halloween Horror Nights, you will be transported into her mysterious realm and experience firsthand this disturbing folktale.”

This place needed to be cut out. I painted that town red, RED, RED!!!!!

“I would kill’em all again. Carey was mine. Sparky, light me up.”

Enter serial killer, Bobby “The Blade’s” realm of suffering in his AFTERLIFE, an all-new, original house. A dark thematic 3D maze where you will go on Bobby’s journey from 2000 volts to where his victims have patiently waited. Along the way you will retrace the headlines Bobby made while on a murderous rampage through Carey.

Escaping them will be a hard feat…

The “Dogs of War” return to Halloween Horror Nights 23 in an original sequel house.

These are the things that are known: An experimental super soldier program known as the Dogs of War went horribly wrong. Shadow Creek, the base that housed the program, was lost.. the Dogs of War had taken it, but with great causality were eventually neutralized. Six weeks have passed since the incident the surviving Dogs of War are being transported aboard a military convoy train. Shadow Creek was to continue experiments en route to see if the Dogs of War subjects could be contained and pacified. Six minutes into transport, all contact was lost…
