I know alot of posters are kinda young on this site (yeah I just took a "wild" guess) but for those who are old enough to leave your street let alone the state this is an event not to be missed! Every year Universal Studios pulls out the horror from every way imagineable! This year its based off horror movies and right now they are highlighting 3 movies; Chucky, Wolfman and Saw. This years event will probably have 8 houses (I dont call them mazes because they are basically huge movie style sets/rooms that are out of this world and im sure a good bit of scarezones. Enough of me babbling and here is the official stuff...

The media site contains this information:

June 25, 2009 RIPPED FROM THE SILVER SCREEN: UNIVERSAL ORLANDO RESORT’S HALLOWEEN HORROR NIGHTS 19 TO BRING MODERN DAY HORROR FILMS TO LIFE

Experience to Feature Upcoming Release and Hugely Popular Horror Series

The Wolfman, Jigsaw and Chucky Will Wreak Havoc at Nation’s Most Frightening Halloween Event

Event Tickets, Vacation Package On Sale Now

ORLANDO, FL (June 25, 2009) – For the first time ever, guests at Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights will live a mega-horror movie before it even hits the big screen. They will also experience two modern day blockbuster horror franchises as Universal Orlando devotes its entire Halloween Horror Nights event to bringing horror films to life.

Universal Orlando is partnering with Universal Pictures to bring one of the year’s most highly anticipated films, “The Wolfman,” to life so guests can experience it firsthand before it hits theaters on November 6. It is also partnering with Lionsgate® and Twisted Pictures to bring the most profitable horror franchise, “SAW,” to Halloween Horror Nights 19: Ripped From the Silver Screen. Universal Orlando is also using its partnership with Universal Pictures to bring the popular “Chucky” film series to life at the event as well.

Lionsgate is expected to release the sixth installment of the powerhouse franchise in theatres nationwide on October 23rd in its traditional opening weekend slot leading into Halloween; the “Chucky” films have become a favorite among horror film and pop culture enthusiasts.

Never before has Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights featured such a catalog of horror. Everyone knows these films. And now everyone will get to live them in person. Guests will experience the physical and psychological horror that Jigsaw, Chucky and The Wolfman have inflicted on the silver screen. They will become victim to the mental games of “SAW’s” maniacal killer Jigsaw. They will come face to face with “Chucky’s” wrath. And they will be there as “The Wolfman’s” alter-ego, Lawrence Talbot, discovers a primal side of himself he didn’t know existed.

“Halloween Horror Nights is the perfect launch for ‘The Wolfman,’” says the film’s producer Scott Stuber. “The horror audience is one of the most enthusiastic and loyal so we are so pleased they are experiencing it first at Halloween Horror Nights.”

“Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights provides a unique platform which allows horror fans to experience Jigsaw’s terrifying labyrinth firsthand. Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures couldn’t have asked for better partners to bring the world of SAW to life,” said SAW producers Mark Burg and Oren Koules of Twisted Pictures.

From house and character design to costuming and prosthetics, work is already underway on this year’s event. Additional details will be revealed leading up to opening night of Halloween Horror Nights 19. A SAW attraction will also be included in the Halloween Horror Nights event at Universal Studios Hollywood.

“We have an exciting opportunity to bring our guests into the world of some of the most popular horror films,” said Jim Timon, senior vice president of entertainment for Universal Orlando Resort. “If you thought you were scared watching these movies, wait until you experience this year’s Halloween Horror Nights.”

For 23 select nights this fall, modern horror films are “Ripped from the Silver Screen” to frighten guests at what promises to be the most feared Halloween Horror Nights ever. Other horror films and characters from the movies, including completely re-imagined Frankenstein and Dracula concepts, will also be integrated into this year’s event.

Halloween Horror Nights 19 will feature all-new horrifying haunted houses, inescapable and chilling scarezones, live shows and hundreds of frightening “scare-actors.” Event dates are September 25-26, October 1-4, 8-11, 15-18, 21-25 and 28-31.

Tickets and vacation packages for the event are on sale now. Regular admission to any night of the event is $69.99 plus tax.

SO what are you thoughts?

Who's planning on going other than dave and me lol?

[aaronf1991]

I'd have to check on my finances after I get my first college tuition bill (which will probably be a mess), but I'd love to go! Especially considering I love Saw and I won't be able to go to Scarowinds this year. I'm going in about 2 weeks to Universal Studios Hollywood (along with Disneyland and SFMM), and I was wondering if Universal House of Horrors is anything to compare by?

[coasterdave]

Not to take anything from Scarowinds but if you want to attend the Best Halloween Event at a Theme Park then Halloween Horror Nights is it. I know Bruh has been going a number of years as I have. I think this will be my eighth year attending along with attending two in Hollywood, but this one has alittle something of me in it this year. I know I will be attending as a guest on Thursday Oct 8th and hoping a plan the next day on the 9th to attend the one in Hollywood. Nothing like doing them in back to back nights. I always tend to do the RIP Tours the last few years, then go back as a regu;ar paying guest to just enjoy it on my own which I plan to do alot this year.

I know the price tag on the tickets are expensive and I know that will turn alot of people off and that is fine but it has been well worth it in years past.

Hope to see some of you folks there when I am there.

Thats usually the times I go also dave but this year im going sept29-oct3. Im thinking about getting a frequent fear pass incase I wanna go later on during the event!

[MarkD]

I will be attending this year for sure. With the loss of my job coming in the August time frame September end / October begining is a perfect time for me. Of course my lady and I are spending about a month in Florida, she has NEVER been to any of the parks down there, so HHN is for us just not sure of the date.

[coasterdave]

I would look into going to Howl-O-Scream at Busch Gardens if you folks have the time. It has been pretty good the last few years and is looking like it might be another top notch event for them this year from what I have heard.
