-The twisted landscape of the famous “War of the Worlds” set—with its authentic airline jumbo jet wreckage, devastated houses and apocalyptic vistas, will be transformed into “The Containment Zone,” an elaborately themed, zombie-ridden “scare zone,” bringing scenes from an unmade movie to life as part of a “Terror Tram: Live Or Die” experience at this year’s “Halloween Horror Nights event,” which begins a 16-night run on October 2 at Universal Studios Hollywood.
In addition to the new “Terror Tram: Live Or Die” attraction, “Halloween Horror Nights” will feature four new maze experiences, and six new “scare zones.” The all-new “Halloween Horror Nights” for 2009 will be the most intense and impactful “live” horror event ever to be presented in a theme park environment. Tickets are now on sale here including limited-time advance purchase discounts.
New “Halloween Horror Nights” attractions will include “Saw: Game Over,” a “live” maze experience based on the “Saw” film franchise, per an agreement among Universal Studios Theme Parks, Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures. The interactive maze, “Halloween: The Life and Crimes of Michael Myers,” will be the first attraction based upon the “Halloween” films to be created by a U.S. theme park. The “live” multi-sensory horror experience, “My Bloody Valentine: Be Mine 4 Ever,” will be based on the 2009 hit movie. “Chucky’s Funhouse,” will be a fresh, flesh-and-blood incarnation of one of Universal’s most iconic horror franchises.
The “Terror Tram: Live Or Die” is all-new for 2009 and, in addition to “The Containment Zone,” features key theming from “Saw,” “My Bloody Valentine, “Psycho” and “Halloween.” “Terror Tram: Live or Die” combines a harrowing tram-ride journey with a terrifying walk through the sets and specially designed gauntlets created on the studio’s historic backlot.
Also new for 2009 is “The Rocky Horror Picture Show: A Tribute,” bringing the mayhem of the classic horror spoof to life on-screen and on-stage with live performers singing and dancing in the celebrated, outrageous “Rocky Horror” costumes, per an agreement between the theme park and Twentieth Century Fox’s Licensing & Merchandising Division.

Trust me, don't feel bad lgoasklucy. I lived in L.A. for 5 years and went to the Halloween Horror Nights once. It's not what it's cracked up to be. There are so many people there that the lines are ridiculously long. Sometimes you wait 45 minutes to an hour or more for less than 10 minutes in a haunted house that isn't even scary. Also went to Knott's Scary Farm and same thing there. It's so bad that they just have people walking in a single line that never ends. You don't even get to go in with your group. Not worth it. I've enjoyed myself more at the mom and pop-made haunted houses and tours out in the boonies. I went to one in Newnan, Georgia once that was set outside in the woods. It was awesome! Ones such as these are too commercial and hyped up to be good when they are not. Sorry.
