This year marks the 21st year for Universal Orlando’s annual Halloween event, Halloween Horror Nights. With twenty years behind the event, the event has quite a history and has continued to morph year after year to bring new levels of terrors and scares to guests who partake in the event. Over the next twenty days, I will take a bit of time to look at the screams of the past and show you the history that has made halloween Horror Nights what it is today.
Halloween Horror Nights XIX: Ripped from the Silver Screen marked the 19th year of the event. The event featured the icon “The Usher”, named Julian Browning, however, Universal used more recognizable characters in their marketing to draw people into the event. Those characters consisted of Saw, Chucky, and The Wolfman, all characters who had their own houses during the event. Click here to view an archive of the Halloween Horror Nights 19 website.
