A New Oldie

Halloween Horror Nights kicks off September 2 at the Universal Studios Orlando Resort and September 8 at Universal Studios Hollywood—and it’ll bring with it excitement for slasher fans, following that first reveal of a Universal Monsters-themed attraction. Yes, Michael Myers and an updated maze themed around John Carpenter’s Halloween are set to return after the popular 2015 version. While it’s a bit underwhelming that Universal is betting on bankable titles to start these much-anticipated announcements with, fans remain eager for new houses to be added to the yearly Halloween haunt events. On Twitter, Halloween Horror Nights creative director John Murdy was asked why the Halloween house is based on the 1978 film, not Blumhouse’s current Halloween sequel trilogy; he explained “we can’t do that property” but added “hopefully in the future it will become available to us.”
