Halloween Horror Nights Get a 'Containment Zone'
Universal Studios Theme Park has added yet another attraction to its Halloween Horror Nights lineup. We just received word from the studio that the War of the Worlds set on its back lot -- famous for its authentic airline jet wreckage and trashed houses -- will be turned into "The Containment Zone" for the annual holiday shindig. Hit the jump to find out what in store for parkgoers who enter the "Zone".
According to Universal, "The Containment Zone" will be a "zombie-filled "scare zone," bringing scenes from an unmade movie to life as part of a "Terror Tram: Live Or Die" experience."
"In addition to the new "Terror Tram: Live Or Die" attraction, "Halloween Horror Nights" will feature four new maze experiences, and six new "scare zones... New "Halloween Horror Nights" attractions will include "Saw: Game Over," a "live" maze experience based on the "Saw" film franchise, per an agreement among Universal Studios Theme Parks, Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures. The interactive maze, "Halloween: The Life and Crimes of Michael Myers," will be the first attraction based upon the "Halloween" films to be created by a U.S. theme park. The "live" multi-sensory horror experience, "My Bloody Valentine: Be Mine 4 Ever," will be based on the 2009 hit movie. "Chucky's Funhouse," will be a fresh, flesh-and-blood incarnation of one of Universal's most iconic horror franchises."
The event begins its 16-night run on October 2. Tickets are now on sale at http://www.universalstudioshollywood.com/hhn.
