Hey All!

I recently got invited to an incredible event to showcase all the amazing new characters and mazes being featured at this years Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood.

We also got to preview some of these amazing make up artists who bring the most gruesome monsters imaginable to life for Halloween Horror Nights. The artists were lead by xtreme horror make-up artist Larry Bones. His innovative team joined John Murdy, “Halloween Horror Nights’” Creative Director to come up with some bone-chilling effects for this year’s event.  “Halloween Horror Nights” begins on Friday, September 20, and continues on 21 select nights through November 2, 2013.

I was thrilled to see this year will include the incredible Zombies from “The Walking Dead”. It’s one of my favorite shows and it’s surely to make Halloween Horror Nights the scariest year yet. It was amazing to see these skilled professionals create the illusions of severed heads, oozing wounds and slashed throats live. They truly work their magic to create these ghoulish creatures. This team of experts showcased their work on some of the scare-actors featured throughout “Halloween Horror Nights.” You can see their work in the pictures below.

It was quite amazing to see the finished products. There were also costume designers on hand to distress and customize wardrobe, wig makers teased and twisted locks, and a graphic artist adeptly illustrated original “Halloween Horror Nights” concept art.

Tickets to this year’s event are now on sale and available for purchase at www.UniversalStudiosHollywood.com/hhn, including a Front of Line ticket option that enables guests to enjoy priority access at each maze and theme park attraction, as well as an all-new VIP Experience ticket offering guests an enhanced guided tour of “Halloween Horror Nights.”  Advance purchase is recommended as event nights will sell out. We go every year and we can tell you first hand that these nights do sell out! It’s truly one of the best haunts for Halloween in Los Angeles.

Halloween Horror Nights 2013 at Universal Studios Hollywood brings you face to face with the three-dimensional world of the most notorious and terrifying creatures from the big and small screen. There are many quality mazes, terror-filled Scare Zones and a fully re-imagined “Terror Tram” experience uniquely themed to today’s most definitive horror properties.

This year’s featured Halloween Horror Nights attractions include: “The Walking Dead: No Safe Haven,” based on AMC’s Golden Globe-nominated show, “Evil Dead:  Book of the Dead,” inspired by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment’s blockbuster remake of the cult classic, “Black Sabbath 13 3D,” based on the legendary heavy metal band’s darkest lyrics, “Insidious:  Into the Further,” based on the 2010 thriller “Insidious” and the upcoming sequel “Insidious: Chapter 2,” and “Universal Monsters Remix: Resurrection” featuring the music of Artist/DJ Figure.

New original scare-zones include: The Purge based on Universal Pictures’ blockbuster and upcoming Blu-ray and DVD release, and the Curse of Chucky, an all-new movie from the filmmakers of the unforgettable horror franchise inspired by Universal Home Entertainment’s upcoming release. First-ever access to extended portions of Universal’s iconic backlot will take center stage this year as movie sets and soundstages become a thrilling new “Halloween Horror Nights” backdrop, and the popular “Terror Tram” returns with hordes of flesh-eating zombies from “The Walking Dead.” The Terror Tram is what I look forward to most every year. You get to walk on famous sets like the Psycho set and it’s amazing how thrilling it can be.

I can’t wait to experience Halloween Horror Nights this year at Universal Studios. It’s going to be amazing and it’s one of the perfect ways to celebrate the Halloween Season. Who wouldn’t want to spend their night running from flesh eating Zombies. I know I would!
