Get a First Look at ‘The Wolfman’ At Universal Studios Hollywood’s Halloween Horror Nights
  |  @   |  

As if you’d need a better reason to go to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios, the Hollywood theme park will be showing an exclusive preview of Universal’s re-imagining of its horror classic The Wolfman as part of the event’s “Terror Tram” experience.

Beginning on October 3, 2008, guests on the “Terror Tram: The Nightmare Tour” backlot attraction will get to see footage from the upcoming film starring Benicio Del Toro on the tram’s LED screens.

Halloween Horror Nights is a separate ticketed nighttime event ($54) at Universal Studios Hollywood and will run consecutive weekends beginning on Friday, October 3 through Saturday, November 1.

I’ve never been to this event in Hollywood, but I have been to the one in Orlando and I can tell you that it’s a real treat for movie lovers and a must for horror fans. And believe me, this is a scary experience — nothing like the Halloween event at the Disney parks. Beware of the hordes of zombies wielding chainsaws who chase after you, as well as all the other things that go bump in the night. Trust me, you will be screaming … and laughing, but definitely screaming.

For more details on Halloween Horror Nights, see the full press release here below.

“The Terror Tram” experience will take guests off the familiar studio tram and lead them on foot past such infamous landmarks as the Bates Motel and Psycho House and into remote and menacing locations of Universal’s legendary backlot. For the first time ever, the “Terror Tram” will also incorporate a series of spine-chilling mazes as part of the trek through the timeless sets from “Psycho,” and the tortured landscape of “War of the Worlds” set into an unforgettable experience that will raise the bar of terror to a level that only an authentic Hollywood studio can equal.

Issuing a dare to “Live Your Worst Nightmare,” Universal Studios Hollywood has ratcheted up the intensity level to present a new “Halloween Horror Nights” for 2008. This year’s event will pair Hollywood’s top entertainment scenic and special effects artists with a cast of thousands to create terrifying new experiences including a bloodcurdling new “Nightmare on Elm Street” maze, all contributing to Southern California’s most intense Halloween experience.
