REVIEW: Alice Cooper Goes To Hell 3D at Halloween Horror Nights Hollywood 2012
Alice Cooper Goes to Hell 3D is one of Halloween Horror Nights’ new mazes this year, even though the 2011 season also saw a maze themed to the great rocker. One thing that Universal Studios Hollywood’s Halloween Horror Nights Creative Director John Murdy makes clear, is that if the subject matter is something near and dear to his heart, it will be showcased at HHN as much as he wants it to be. We’ve seen this in the past regarding his friendship with Rob Zombie, as well as the inclusion of a HALLOWEEN maze largely based on the John Carpenter film.

REVIEW: Universal Monsters Remix at Halloween Horror Nights Hollywood 2012
When Universal Monsters Remix was announced for Universal Halloween Horror Nights Hollywood, the reaction wasn’t too friendly. What really irked fans was that Universal Monsters Remix features dubstep, a type of music that is very popular, but doesn’t make sense to blare through House of Horrors, an already horror icon-filled maze. Dubstep is definitely frightening on its own, but not in a good way for Halloween Horror Nights!

REVIEW: La Llorona: La Cazadora de Ninos at Halloween Horror Nights Hollywood 2012
Universal Studios Hollywood’s Halloween Horror Nights is known mostly for mazes based almost exclusively on known horror films or intellectual properties such as Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees. However, once in a while, Halloween Horror Nights Creative Director John Murdy and Art Director Chris Williams come up with a concept that is unattached to a movie or pop icon. Such was the case in 2011 when the duo came up with La Llorona, a journey through a dark and foreboding Mexican village.

Knott’s Halloween Haunt 2012 First Night
In 1973, a group of Knott’s Berry Farm managers met in a conference room and agreed that they wanted to put on a formal Halloween party for guests to enjoy; nothing terribly fancy – some decorations, live entertainment and a few spooked-out rides. Employees were encouraged to make up their work spaces – food and beverage locations, shops and restaurants. For an extra thrill, a handful of monsters roamed through the crowds, creating a total package of spooky fun. The event was named “Halloween Haunt”. Never did anyone back then know that they were the spark that would ignite an industry-wide explosion of similar events around the world. Knott’s Halloween Haunt has become synonymous with Southern California and Halloween. Over the decades, the reach of the Scary Farm has extended far beyond Orange County; it is not uncommon for international haunted attraction fans to make the long trek every few years to experience all that Halloween Haunt has become.
