HHN '18: Monster Masquerade

[AlexanderMBush]

Prepare to get met with a brand new scarezone, inspired by the Universal Classic Monsters; in Monster Masquerade.

Step into the fog-enshrouded streets of old Paris and enter “The Danse of the Dead,” a macabre monster masquerade ball inspired by the original Universal Classic Monster movies The Phantom of the Opera and The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Tickets on sale for Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood; Terror Tram and more announced | Inside Universal

This sounds pretty cool, and should mesh with the maze nicely!
I'm especially excited to see the Hunchback!

 

[Jaden]

Mostly excited for this scarezone. UCM maze and scarezone? Hell yeah!

 

[HHNManics]

Like what DTH said this should mesh quite nicely. My 2nd most anticipated Scare Zone and also FRENCH STREET IS BACK.

 

[AlexanderMBush]

This and the CM are my two most anticipated things to come out of Horrah for this year. Can't wait to see how the two complement eachother, especially with great locations.

 

[Clive]

Extremely excited about this. Paying homage to Hunchback and Phantom is a great call, especially if the zone is adjacent to the Monsters maze.

 

[haylee]

this is exciting! reminds me a bit of house of horrors... Sounds like it’s going to be the best scare zone in my eyes. TRT sounds cool too but I feel like they can do more with this scarezone.

So is UCM gonna dump into this zone? If so that’ll be really cool and will keeps up the immersion.

Do you think the emphasis on Phantom of the Opera and Hunchback being in this scare zone was because they're not gonna be in the UCM maze? Kinda like how the Trick 'r Treat scare zone will cover stuff not in the maze, maybe MM will do the same for UCM?

I could see that.. A bit bummed Phantom probably won't have a room in UCM but having an entire dedicated scarezone to him and Hunchback is a great way to make up for that

hope to see angry villagers here

Didn't even think of that, those would be some great scareactors charging at you with pitchforks asking if you've seen the Hunchback! Or warning you not to go in the castle (the maze) before you get there.

ooo imagine if they actually spoke to guests! or said the lines that you mentioned! that would be a treat...doubt they’d speak though. Gives me too many Dark Harbor vibes

 

[MacMillian Crew]

It's moments like this where I think even UCM could've been excellent for the Twitter password maze!

I agree! I would’ve thought that that would’ve been the maze for the twitter password because of how exciting the maze is and all that. Plus, monsters have been around for forever so‍. guess not though

oh yikes what happened to the end of that reply HAHA

 

[chris.g]

All these possibilities are actually really legitimate possibilities. Super hyped now.

 

[DTH]

With the gauntlet included and all of French street, the Universal Monsters essentially dominate the entire left side of the upper lot. I really hope they fully immerse us into this experience. It'd be cool to even get some of the dining places to have an overlay, new costumes for employees in character, and renamed foods.
YE WANT THE IGOR SAURKRAUT OR THE FRITZ DOG?
Won't happen, BUT IMAGINE.

I'm very game for a Universal Monster-dominated upper lot.

Didn't know about the Gauntlet entryway... that's a huge plus. I think the "village" that precedes almost every gothic locale is a good bet.

I also would imagine Phantom & Hunchback will be kept to the zone. Frankenstein's Monster, Dracula, The Wolfman, The Mummy, and Creature from the Black Lagoon all provide more than enough material for a ten scene maze.

The title of this zone, it's Paris location and the Phantom of the Opera aspect is making me want this song in the zone so bad..
