Here we go again. Another Halloween house at Halloween Horror Nights. We’re going back to 1978 for this version. Don’t get me wrong, I love Halloween. I just think Universal can do a better job of creating new and exciting houses instead of constantly going back to what they’ve done.

HHN is still my favorite event, but it’s getting tired. I don’t have the same level of anticipation about going that I used to. It feels like the same houses, the same scares, the same merchandise. I’m ready for something different. More than just jump scares and the same hiding places.

SeaWorld Orlando had their first ever Howl-O-Scream event last year. I was rather impressed with what they had to offer. They don’t have the budget that HHN has, but they really made it work. They had the kind of scares that I’d expect to see at HHN. I think Universal should take a page out of their book and try for something different.

“Gather your friends and visit Haddonfield, Illinois, where Michael Myers is about to don his mask and embark on his first brutal spree. Silent. Merciless. Relentless. He’s the embodiment of pure evil. You don’t want to go alone as you go back to where it all began. This year, step into the original 1978 horror classic, Halloween.”

You can get the Halloween reveal merchandise in the Five and Dime in Universal Studios and at the All Hallow’s Hula Boutique in Islands of Adventure.
