Universal Studios Hollywood Wants You to Pick the Next HHN Scare Zone
There are roughly 80-90 days left till the start of Halloween Horror Nights. If you’re a big fan of the annual event, like I am, then you know how excruciatingly long that can be. Thankfully, between now and then, there will be announcements and reveals that will keep us going until the event kicks off.
And while we mostly remain in the dark until the big reveals, wouldn’t it be nice to tell Universal Studios Hollywood what you want you to see this year? You’re going to get that chance this Wednesday, June 4th, when Universal Studios Hollywood gives fans the ability to”Choose Their Scare” with a voting competition designed to allow Halloween Horror Night fans the opportunity to pick a Scare Zone to be featured in the park.
Starting on June 4th and lasting till June 18th, fans will be able to go on to Halloween Horror Nights’ Facebook page and vote on one of three Scare Zones they’d like to see used in the park. Here are the choices along with a concept picture to give you an idea of what they’re aiming for:
Scare Zone #1: Corps
“The War to End All Wars” has left a swathe of destruction through battle-torn France, and on French Street at Universal Studios Hollywood’s Halloween Horror Nights, World War I-era soldiers have returned from the dead. The constant artillery bombardment has turned the twisted network of trenches into a sprawling graveyard, and now “The Lost Generation” is rising from their muddy graves and coming home to haunt the streets of “old Paris.”
Scare Zone #2: Ghoulz
In 19th century France, restrictive laws and social norms prevented medical colleges from acquiring the one asset they need most – human cadavers. To solve this “body shortage crisis,” universities employed “unsavory characters” to do their dirty work and steal corpses from cemeteries in the middle of the night. Unfortunately, the grave robbers on Universal Studios Hollywood’s French Street have developed a morbid fascination with the dead – and a taste for human flesh.
Scare Zone #3: Mask-a-Raid
Masquerade Balls were a staple of the social calendar in pre-Revolutionary War France; a time for the members of the French aristocracy to misbehave behind the cover of elaborate, jeweled masks. But “mask-a-raiding” among the powdered and perfumed party-goers are members of a blood thirsty cannibal cult. Bon appétit!
Personally, I’m leaning towards Corps. I find that to be the most unsettling of the three, but don’t let me influence your voting. Pick the one you think will be the scariest addition to Universal Studios Hollywood’s Halloween Horror Nights. Remember, voting starts June 4th on their official Facebook page which you can check out right here.
