Universal Pictures is the great granddaddy of horror films, having launched the first great wave of talking fright flicks with DRACULA way back in 1931. So it is more than appropriate that the Universal’s Hollywood Studio lot should host the annual Halloween Horror Nights, a month-long celebration of the macabre season. We have a series of five videos showing off HHN’s various attractions, which include the back lot “Terror Tram Tour” and mazes based on A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET, FRIDAY THE 13TH, and THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE. First up is a walk through HOUSE OF HORRORS. This is a year-round attraction on the studio tour, but for Halloween it is ramped up with even more actors in makeup playing monsters. HOH is a sort of tour through the history of horror, featuring settings and monsters from many of Universal’s own classic movies, plus a few more modern ones.
