Halloween Horror Nights - Hollywood Employee Preview Night 2025

All I gotta say is they actually did a good job on Terrorfier. The sets throughout the park are also taller, and in result more immersive this year. They also solved the black wall problem by having scares pretty much around every corner this year

Anyone check out the Witch's Scarezone? Or The HellBullies?

 

[DTH]

Any early maze rankings?

Super short

Did they use the whole building? To me, the UBE houses have always felt longer than usual if anything…

My understanding (and I could be wrong) is that most houses in UBE have not used the whole building.

I did notice last year towards the back of the indoor queue for Quiet Place, at the entrance to the hall where the Don't Open Dead Inside doors would be from TWDA, there was a curtain that was partially open. I could see just enough that it was storage and none of that whole space was used for the house.

Is there a specific reason they don't use the entire space? Budget? Needing a space for storage?

Por que no los dos? I think part of it is budget [longer mazes = more expensive from a props and possibly a labor standpoint] but another part is storage in the post-Walking Dead era.

As a massive fan of the franchise, I had such insanely high expectations for Fallout but I'm glad that I at least read this here before walking through so I can temper my expectations. Is the set design at least 'big' in the small amount of rooms this maze does have?

I would also say these sets were also the smallest. Unfortunately


There is a couple saving graces tho. No spoilers. Some huge things are in the maze




if I ranked the mazes this year it would just be In no particular order I liked everything besides monstrous and poltergeist, I think the strongest mazes this year (thank god) are FNAF and Terrorfier. They did these IP justice and extremely utilize the IP.

Is it possible they kept some Star Trek stuff for Fan Fest that they didn’t want to rebuild again?

If they did, they'd likely store it offsite and not keep it in the building since rightholders can be bizarrely letigious about that kinda thing. Probably just a case of the sets and props being especially expensive and needing to cut down a lot or design with that in mind.

Nah, the space is just small.


Also the roaming arty the clown…. I hope people don’t swarm them. They are good but having people just stop and film him makes it less fun and immersive

This is my venue I scare at, honestly have no idea why we have a big empty space downstairs. They currently use it for storage for the Crowz and some dressing rooms for Fallout. It's the entirely of the hospital queue from the Walking Dead era that isn't being used, big waste of space IMO

They almost definitely will tonight cuz social media clout is as good as gold I guess, but I do hope they'll at least have some attendants at a reasonable distance around him like they do for the tall crows just so they can make sure people aren't crowding him or messing with him.

People did seem to be respectful on TM preview but that's TMs so that's kinda a given, can only hope that vibe continues though, he was getting a lot of really good individual interactions with people that night.
