Current Events > Universal's Halloween Horror Nights (FL)

(+) Yeah! (+)

I could see some people thinking that this is the best lineup ever, but it's just not calling to me.

Stranger Things 4
The Exorcist: Believer
The Last of Us
Chucky: Ultimate Kill Count
Universal Monsters: Unmasked - Invisible Man, Jekyll/Hyde, Phantom of the Opera, and Hunchback of Notre Dame
Dr. Oddfellow�s Twisted Origins -- evil clown
Dueling Dragons: Choose Thy Fate
YETI: Campground Kills
The Darkest Deal -- a musician sells his soul to the devil
Bleed for the Blood Moon -- a moon-worshipping cult wants to kill you

I'm not a fan of clowns, evil dolls, the devil, or zombies. The yeti and dragon houses sound fun. It's just that I don't know that I can justify spending that kind of money for two houses. It'd be like going to Disney World if I only wanted to ride Space Mountain and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train.

I'm especially disappointed in the Universal Monsters house. I get that the dragons and Demogorgon are eating up the special effects budget. But they have four human "monsters" with Paris as the linking theme. The Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Phantom of the Opera, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and The Invisible Man were all good movies. But they were good because they had good storytelling. A scarred musician doesn't make as good of a monster in a haunted house as a vampire or mummy would. Maybe if they had a standalone Phantom of the Opera house, that would be fun. But splitting it between four second-tier monsters means that none of them will receive much in the way of individual focus. It's like having a Marvel movie featuring the team of Falcon, Daredevil, Invisible Woman, and Rocket. A standalone movie for any one of them would be better than that mishmash of a team up.

On a side note, Universal never had a proper Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde film. That was MGM.
