Possible Theme for Universal's Halloween Horror Nights 2010 Revealed

Posted by Ashley McChesney on Mon, Nov 02, 2009 @ 09:54 AM

Discount Universal Florida Halloween Horror Nights 2010 Vacation Packages are here!

 

Update: See Halloween Horror Nights 2010 Twenty Years of Fear dates, houses, and scarezones!

 

On the last two nights of Halloween Horror Nights, Universal opened a new scarezone. Not only was it in a back alley in the New York area filled with dark corners, they bathed it in blood red light too! The biggest surprise to guests was the return of some of their favorite Icons from past events (Jack, Caretaker and his daughter Cindy, to name a few.) Supposedly this is a preview of next year's event, a scrapbook of sorts for the last 20 years of Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios.

 

HHN 2009 new scarezone added

 

 

It seems that Universal is unsure of their choice of theme though. Not only did they bring us this new scarezone to preview the 2010 event, but they wanted to know what you thought as well. Of course they won't say it that way, but if you read between the lines, this is the first year that they have been so ready and eager to hear what fans had to say. Guests were interviewed on camera and given surveys about what scared them the most as well as their favorite memories from the past Halloween Horror Nights events.

   

(A Big thank you to Magic city Mayhem for the video)

 

Universal may have been surprised to hear that so many people were disappointed to see Jack. Rumor has it (more on this further down) that next year's theme will rely heavily on Jack, but not many were happy to see him lurking on the stairs in the back alley. Jack has been featured in more HHN events than any other icon naturally leading to some boredom with his character.


Hopefully Universal will be smart about this, they obviously wanted valid feedback since they went to such great lengths and expense to gather the information, hopefully it's not too late to revamp their ideas should it be boring for the fans.

 

Onto the Theories!

 

Michael Roddy, manager of show development for Universal Orlando Entertainment, did a facebook Q & A before HHN 19 even started and made it very clear that for those of us that looked hard enough there would be several "easter eggs" about next years event to be found.

The first major easter egg that was found was shown on at the HorrorWood Die in.
 

At the end of the clip there is a snippet of film that shows "coming soon" and a quick flash of what looks to be Jack the Clown.


The largest theory is that Jack will be back in 2010 to marry his assistant Chance and his dear brother Eddy (who was axed from the HHN event after 9/11) will serve as best man, of course bringing back all of the other past Halloween Horror Night Icons to partake in the festivities.


Then a visitor to the Orlando United Forums found this and was kind enough to share this:

 

Elizabeth Long Death Certificate at HHN

 


A death certificate for

Elizabeth "Long Liz" Stride
"(née Gustafsdotter) (27 November 1843 - 30 September 1888) is believed to be the third victim of the notorious unidentified serial killer called Jack the Ripper, who killed and mutilated prostitutes in the Whitechapel area of London from late August to early November 1888.[1]

Elizabeth Stride was 44-years-old when she was murdered. She was nicknamed "Long Liz"; several explanations have been given for this pseudonym. Some believe it was related to her married surname "Stride", while others believe it was because of her height[note 1] or the shape of her face. At the time of her death she was living in a common lodging-house at 32 Flower and Dean Street, Spitalfields, within what was then a notorious criminal rookery.[2][3]" -Wikipedia


Jack the Ripper?


Technically Body Collectors from this year's event was about Jack the Ripper. But that little gem of a clue is so far out of the way and oddly placed, could it be a mistake or is it another "Easter Egg"

Whether you are happy about Jack's return or not, you have to give it to Universal for creating a huge buzz for next year's event before the 2009 event even ended.

Posted @ Saturday, January 02, 2010 8:55 PM by Drew
This year will be my first year at halloween horror nights and the CLOWN is the most scaryiest monster to me, so I believe this year will be a scartastic year for me!!!!!!!
Posted @ Sunday, January 03, 2010 4:00 PM by Janey
i think that jack is a great idea but they should bring in some new ones like do a house from paranormal activity or real things that have really happened i think it will be scarier !
Posted @ Sunday, January 03, 2010 8:04 PM by arrieauna
I think it would be amazing to bring Jack back. I was sad to hear I missed seeing him, and HOPE him and Chance are getting "married"
Posted @ Wednesday, January 06, 2010 3:10 PM by Kat

WE ALL WANT THE CLOWN!
Posted @ Saturday, January 23, 2010 1:53 PM by shelby crosby
YES TO PARANORMAL ACTIVITY!!! And Yes to Clowns! I'm scared of clowns but I love being scared.
Posted @ Sunday, January 24, 2010 3:12 PM by Ariel
I don't think they should bring back jack. honestly, i'm getting a bit bored of the clown already. Don't get me wrong, he's a good character. But it was only a few years ago that he had his "Carnival of Carnage". They keep bringing him back and people are going to start getting bored of him. They should try creative themes. New things that haven't been seen for a while. Let people forget about Jack. Then, after some time away, bring him back and surprise everyone. Make the people miss Jack. I think with the opening of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter opening up, they should stick with the theme of "Magic". They can do voodoo and black magic theme. A voodoo priestess or maybe even a cloaked figure. I also think they should do HHN this year in Islands. It has been some time since it takes place there. The first time I ever went to HHN was the year of the director which took place in Islands and i thought it was AMAZING. Well, these are just some of my thoughts. toodles lol
Posted @ Sunday, January 24, 2010 4:08 PM by ANONYMOUS
I kinda agree with the Jack thing, but the Harry Potter thing not so much. It's not scary. I think they should take the best horrors flicks from the past couple of years and do some sort of mixed theme.
Posted @ Monday, January 25, 2010 1:24 AM by Anonymous
bring him back for thirds no i want to see people being hung forget chainsaws bring on silent but deadly is my suggestion haunting souls (paranormal)hungdead and the whole park is a scarezone exept in restaurants but i would like them on rides to
Posted @ Wednesday, January 27, 2010 10:25 PM by rob wood
The wedding thig is a very good idea. Theres only so many times you can do a mix of old themes from past years before it gets boring thou.
Posted @ Sunday, January 31, 2010 12:44 PM by Holly
I was at Halloween Horror Nights I thought ut was good, but I agree that they should put the clown away for a year or two just to make them miss him and then BAM! he's back and eveyone is suprised, all I know is I loved last can't wait for next year!
Posted @ Tuesday, February 02, 2010 11:40 AM by Gili
i went to Halloween Horror Nights in 2008 and im hoping to go this year...i thought it was good in 2008 but there should have been more, i think because the theme was Blood Mary it didnt really have much to go off on...but that is just my opinion. Ive seen Jack the Clown and im scared of clowns but defo bring him back for this year i can understand if you take him away yes he will be missed but i think its best to keep him in for this year it will be really good to get a Paranomal Activity house that would be super freaky and keep the chainsawa but get more different types of characters running about the park; the pig people from saw would be good!! when i went it wasnt in Islands so it would be good to experience it in a different area but these are just my opinions :)
Posted @ Wednesday, February 03, 2010 1:28 PM by sarah
I am going to geuss going to 7 years of HHN that this year is going to be called twenty years of terror
Posted @ Saturday, February 06, 2010 4:24 PM by livevil
i think halloween horror nights should do a michael myers theme! from when he was alittle kid to now incorporating allllll of the halloween movies
Posted @ Sunday, February 07, 2010 11:28 PM by alyssa
reuion sounds good but i dont like the idea of a wedding. first off weddings are not scarey, second chance is a hore. (jack deserves better) i love the idea of bringing jack back b/c i missed the carnival of carnage but i wonder if keeping him the focal point is wise since he's been such a large part of so many hhn past themes. maybe a high school reunion or just a universal monster reunion thing, i dont know, just not a wedding.
Posted @ Thursday, February 11, 2010 1:44 PM by kim
I honestly want something from PARANORMAL ACTIVITY and THE EXCORSISM OF EMILY ROSE! 
 
YES To the clown and Bloody Mary!
Posted @ Thursday, February 11, 2010 2:08 PM by Katya
I think that although Jack is a legendary HHN character I have gone the last 7 years and have gotten a bit tiered of seeing him there. I really think they should focus on new movies like last year they had a small piece of a house dedicated to the strangers, they could do so much more with just that movie alone they can make and entire house out of that movie. Here are some other good movies or ideas....... Some alien thing like in a corn field which is like a maze and aliens popping out through the corn, event horizon was a crazy movie, classics like the shining can have a cameo, you know there just some movies that need to be recognized here. Don't get me wrong i will continue to keep going to HHN its a awesome event and set up the way they run things over there is on point! Can't wait for this year, bring some aliens!!!!!!
Posted @ Monday, February 15, 2010 12:08 PM by J
I would love jack and all but i think bloody Mary should come back and strike fear into everyone again because hhn 19 sucked sort of my dad doesn't even want to go next year but i insist!
Posted @ Wednesday, February 17, 2010 5:47 PM by hhnguy
deffo a proper haunted house like paranormal activity, slamming doors lights swinging and slow the crowds down so only say 10 go on 60 second wait 10 more etc, that way u wont always see actors jumping out ahead of u which really ruins the fun of gettin scared
Posted @ Wednesday, February 17, 2010 6:18 PM by paul deakin
i have gone to halloween horror nights every year since it started in 1991 when it was called fright night.jack has been a great part of halloween horror nights but i am getting tired of seeing some of the same houses and characters over and over again lets do something new thats never been done before. i will bee there this year but, come on stop recycling the same ideas. its time for a big change.
Posted @ Thursday, February 18, 2010 6:58 PM by bart poole
i think bringing in jack would be chill, i mean last year they had my bloody valentine,halloween,and saw..i just hope they do something really cool!
Posted @ Sunday, February 21, 2010 1:54 PM by Sunnnyyy
Ive been going to HHN for the past 5 years and the past 4 years have completely bored me. HHN would be so much better in my opinion if they brought it back to Islands! I hate clowns and love jack but i agree with the everyone who thinks they need to chill out with bringing him back so often its getting old. 2005 was like the best year at HHN!
Posted @ Sunday, February 28, 2010 8:33 AM by gabi
People are saying Paranormal Activity but it would just be loud noises and bangs if HHN did a house they would need good sound affects.. Bring back "The Ring", Nightmare on Elm Street, The Excorist! Some movies that we seen and get scared for life just by looking at there faces in the movies!
Posted @ Tuesday, March 02, 2010 9:36 PM by Alex
2009 was our first time at the hhn.loved it goin back this year cant wait to see what they do would be good if they done something about the film thirteen ghosts, or the collector, there are lots of good horror movies that they could still do,will have to wait to see what they come up with.it should be good
Posted @ Friday, March 05, 2010 3:01 PM by davie and anne
Well it's the big 20. Two decades of HHN and I can say that, one park can't hold this frightful manage' that has been 20 years in the making. Bringing us closer to a new decade of FEAR. I can't wait it should definately be a great one.
Posted @ Saturday, March 13, 2010 2:01 PM by Nathan
keep the clown!!! i think they shold get soome new charachters in like micheal myers or maybe the movie the strangers for a theme, they need more scare zones two thats the whole ponit of halloween horror nights is to get scared isnt it they should make the whole park a scare zone anywayus i love HHN and ive been goin for 2 years soo far i hate the chain sawws though
Posted @ Sunday, March 14, 2010 9:55 AM by
This year 09 was our 1st, loved it especially Saw and Wolfman. think they should keep Saw and the clown would be sooooo scary!
Posted @ Wednesday, March 17, 2010 12:45 PM by del b
i am totally on bboard for jack i only went last year and i miised all the past but paranormal activity stunk alls you herd was people screaming down the stairs maby a fourth kind type of house if anything but not paranormal activity!
Posted @ Saturday, March 27, 2010 8:10 AM by
i think they had to put all the diferents characters that has been for 20 years including the crypt taker that was the very first icon of hhn.the not so popular characters like cyndy and eddy(jack crazy brother) should had scare zones. and every popular character his own haunted house. and it will be fun a haunted house with all hhn character. the eastern egg video was a preview of the soles of the past scare zone that opened the last week of hhn 09. but is realy a good idea put 1 or 2 not hhn charecter hauses it will be a great idea a emily rose or paranormal activity haunted house, bring one more time jack and no more jack for 5 or 6 years
Posted @ Saturday, March 27, 2010 11:50 AM by levys mon
OMG IF THEY BRING BACK THE CLOWN IM FLIPP! IM TIRED OF THIS CLOWN! ITS NOT SCARY! COME ON UNIVERSAL, STOP BEING LAZY AND BRING SO SCARY AND CREATIVE IDEAS! PLEASE! AND USE BOTH PARKS THIS YEAR!!!!!!!!
Posted @ Wednesday, March 31, 2010 3:24 PM by logan
AND OHH YEA. THEY SHOULD BRING BACK FRIDAY THE 13TH AND NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET!
Posted @ Wednesday, March 31, 2010 3:26 PM by LOGAN
I don't think they should have the Clown because it's kinds scary but it gets boring. What more can he do? I think a good theme could be like a medievil theme with like torture chambers and stuff! It could have like people being killed or tortured or whatever in certain dungeons or scare rooms. That could be cool :) x
Posted @ Saturday, April 03, 2010 8:04 AM by Cloud
I think this year you should do somthing from the movie 13 ghost because i know people would go crazy if those 13 ghost were to come to life and maybe they can recreate the all glass mansion into a haunted house .THAT WOULD really be a good theme
Posted @ Tuesday, April 06, 2010 8:17 PM by Tarel
the strangers and mikel myers idea is kinda cheep universal did that in hhn hollywood maybe they can bring and new chareter simerlar to jack but an MORE SCARY CLOWN!! and that's IT THE CLOWN LOOK IT UP OR MAYBE PENNYWISE,JACK AND IT OR PENNYWISE CAN FIGHT LIKE WHO WILL BE THE KING OF HORROR OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT SO GUEST COULD BE VERY SCARED THAT THEY WILL SHIT THE PANTS!!! WHAT YOU PEOPLE THINK???? IT OR PENNYWISE SHOULD BE IN HHN HOLLYWOOD AND ORLANDO
Posted @ Monday, April 12, 2010 11:49 AM by bruno
it's the 20th year...do something different..hhn should do the best of the best from the past like the most popular one's voted by the fans.
Posted @ Monday, April 19, 2010 11:10 AM by Brian
Jack was a good theme, but its been done. Universal should do a all Rob Zombie themed movies. Bring out the House of 1000 Corpses and Devils Rejects houses. Also do a Halloween house but Rob Zombie Style. Or they could do some classic Monsters again thats always awesome. The Best house I have ever gone in there was the NIghtmare on Elm street one. Since that movie is being remade maybe add that in too...
Posted @ Tuesday, April 20, 2010 10:15 PM by Patti
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A THEME DEALING WITH PARANORMAL ACTIVITY...BRING JACK THE CLOWN BACK!!!! BRING BACK FREDDY!!!! AND KEEP THE MICHAEL MEYERS MAZE FOR 2010 AT UNIVERSAL HOLLYWOOD...

Posted @ Saturday, April 24, 2010 12:03 PM by Joelito
I think they should bring back chucky from lasts year one because lots of people liked it and they didnt have any footage of the chucky house on youtube!!!!oh and I think bringing jack back is stupid!!! he was in multiple events in pasts years.....Also they need new ideas ohhh i got one!!!! A AVP maze with those face hugger things and aliens and predator or maybe the dead silence maze they did some time ago that one was awesome....And The saw ,aze was two thumbs up!!!! pls reply!!!!
Posted @ Saturday, April 24, 2010 5:50 PM by Joshua Guilas
they should deffinetly do a house of wax house.
Posted @ Saturday, April 24, 2010 9:54 PM by chris
I think you should bring Freddy criteria. I love him so much.
Posted @ Sunday, April 25, 2010 12:12 PM by anthony
What Universal really needs to do to make HHN great again is to bring it back to the ways of the original HHN in '91 and '92 when the entire park was a scare zone. the hell with having designated scare zones. The whole point is to be scared when you least expect it. If you don't want to be scared then you don't belong there. Knowing you are about to enter a scare zone defeats the purpose for me because I am already expecting someone to jump out and attempt to scare me. I remember my first year of going to HHN in '92....They opened the main gates and there were a hundred characters walking the streets right at us as we are entering the park. Now that was awesome. Even witches sitting on the light poles staring down at you. The scare zones just dumb everything down. The crowds are also a problem. I remember the one time they tried doing HHN in both parks but they failed because they didn't split the haunted houses evenly and mostly everyone was at universal waiting in 2-3 hr lines while the Islands were mostly empty. Do the math...2 hrs per line with 5 to 8 houses to see by 2am....not good. I am looking forward to going this year, but I will only go now if I buy the fast access passes, otherwise I would just be standing in lines all night instead of having fun. Unfortunately, not everyone can afford to spend $150 per person for a ticket and a fastpass for one night of fun.
Posted @ Monday, April 26, 2010 11:00 PM by John
this will be my first halloween horror nights in october, sadly i have to go by myself because my family arent into that sort of things, so to me i dont care who or what is there as long as it gives me a good scare, i think it will also be worse tht im on my own.
Posted @ Tuesday, April 27, 2010 1:52 PM by jody
I think that they shuld not bring back the clown.They should have like paranormal activity or house of wax.and the exorcist.and also wrong turn would be a really good scare zone.
Posted @ Tuesday, April 27, 2010 4:57 PM by anonomys
i think they should recap the last 10 years..last year was freakin AWESOME!!!!
Posted @ Monday, May 03, 2010 5:06 PM by
bring back the "it" clown...he's scary or just recap the last 10 years for the 20 year anniversary
Posted @ Monday, May 03, 2010 10:29 PM by Tonisha Dye
um hello!..the movie nightmare on elm just came out..why not stick to a whole year of Freddy!!..do Freddy K!!!
Posted @ Tuesday, May 04, 2010 4:06 PM by M
THE PARANOMAL ACTIVITY IDEA IS SO STUPID SOMEONE PLEASE EXPALINE HOW THEY WOULD DO THAT WITH ACTORS? IT WOULD BE NOTHING BUT WIND ANS SOUND THATS A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY FOR UNIVERSAL TO EVEN SPEND. AND THE CLOWN IS REALLY GETTING OVER DONE ALMOST EVER YEAR HES BACK HES NOT SACRY ANYMORE HES OVER DONE AND OVER USED. WE NEED FRESH SCARY IDEAS OR OLD SACRY CLASSICS THAT HAVENT BEEN OVERLY REPEATED OR DONE LIKE FREEDY KRUGER OR SOMETHING SCARY. MY VOTE IS FOR 2012 ZOMBIE THEME!
Posted @ Thursday, May 06, 2010 12:50 PM by logan
wow. i just read ALL of these comments. I am 14 now going to be 15 october 31. I go every year for my birthday since i was three. I LOVE IT. my opinion about Jack is yes but under one condition, he is not 'The Ringleader'. Since this is the 20th anniversary, bringing back all the characters is a great idea. But Paranomal Activity is not. That's really only scary if it's happening in your own home. If they are going to have a return on the past icons, they should put theme ALL IN ONE HOUSE. Then, make new icons to put in the others. 2010 has already made its decision but these are just my thoughts. Every year though, people just say to bring all the icons back but this is the year to actually do it since its 20 YEARS OF SCARE. You know what would be scary? A crazy disease float in the air of a hospital that makes people evil and demonic. good idea?

I have been to a few of the HHN events and my favorite was the Frddy, Jason and Leatherface. Saw was a huge dissapointment to me. I am a scary movie buff and the ideas you are comeing up with are starting to go down hill. 20 Years now is a long time to come up with something new but I feel something speacial should be done this year. I am possibly going this year depending on the theme.
Posted @ Monday, May 10, 2010 2:56 PM by Joseph
I wish they would open two parks instead of one, like BEFORE. I believe that was HHN 07? Not sure.. but that was the best! Also when they had Wizard of Oz, I thought that was very creative, didn't expect that. (:
Posted @ Tuesday, May 11, 2010 3:42 PM by Linda
I have been going to HHN for the past 6 years, I find Jack to be good, but it gets boring, bringing him back constantly. I think that you should bring demonic houses and a couple of scary movie houses like leather face, and the strangers. I think that HHN should be in both parks this year, and make the scarezones and bit more scary. and I think that would be a great HHN.
Posted @ Tuesday, May 11, 2010 5:58 PM by Rick
Dunno if anyone posted this already or even noticed it... But I think this could be the real theme! Look at the website... On the map it features the logo of the scarezone that was added (shadows from the past) You see two X-es in red in the background... If you translate them as roman numbers it comes out at 20... 20th edition is this year... I might think too much about this tough...
Posted @ Wednesday, May 12, 2010 7:53 AM by KennethS
Well i think that whole Paranomal Activity thing is dum its not gonna scare anybody and universal is known to scare the living crap out of people when it comes to HHN and i think they should either do NightMare on Elem Street it just came out in theaters it would be perfect or do something like what they did for the Sweet Sixteen bring everyone back for this year.. make it scary though i have been to at least 2 of them ya its not alot but those times i freaked out..!
Posted @ Thursday, May 13, 2010 12:20 PM by Samantha Mendoza
I AM PERSONALLY OVER JACK FOR NOW AND WOULD NOT WANT TO SEE PARANORMAL ACTIVITY BE IN EITHER HOLLYWOOD, OR ORLANDO! WHAT WOULD BE KINDA COOL IF THE THEM WOULD BE "20 YEARS LATER" TAKE A CUE FROM 28 DAY, AND 28 WEEKS LATER. MAYBE IT WOULD BE ABOUT THE 2 MOVIES AND JUST PUTTING A HHN SPIN ON IT. JUST HAVE ONE BIG SCARE ZONE AND THEN BRING BACK THE PAST CHARACTERS TO BE FREE BUT AS FAR AS THE MAZES THEY SHOULD BE ALL NEW SINCE IT IS "20 YEARS LATER. THEY SHOULD ALSO OPEN BOTH PARKS! BUT PUT ALOT OF THE GOOD THINGS IN ISLAND OF ADVENTURES SO PEOPLE ARE MORE INTERESTED TO GO OVER THERE MORE THAN BEFORE! WELL JUST M THOUGHT!
Posted @ Sunday, May 16, 2010 7:06 PM by DYLAN
Yesssss to Dead Silence!!! Mary shaw needs to cause chaos! Lol as for Jack idk last year was my first time and i would LOVE to face my clown phobia by facing Jack but i dont want universal to over use him ya kno? 
 
My HHN Theme opinion: 
 
houses dedicated to real life hunted places like the haunted house in london!  
 
Inroduce new characters maybe jacks rival and his gang ya kno? Like they take over the TWO parks also apart from restaurants NO limit on the scare zone! NO jigsaw or famous killers like that i mean i love jigsaw and all but nah some real life serial killers are better in my opinion 
 
but either way HHN2010 is going to rock!
Posted @ Tuesday, May 18, 2010 1:02 PM by Shelly
I have been to about half of the HHN and the best part was the 3D haunted house...also i think the idea of no scarezones and just using the entire park is awesome.
Posted @ Tuesday, May 18, 2010 6:26 PM by tammy
OMGosh, they should have a haunted house of Willy Wonka scary version! 
 
Pwahaha Idk.. random (:
Posted @ Wednesday, May 19, 2010 4:46 PM by Linda
OMG DEAD SILENCE WOULD BE AN AWESOME ONE!!! THT FILMED SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME WHEN I WATCHED IT, IT WUD BE AMAZING TO SEE ALL THOSE DOLLS IN A HOUSE WOOO CREEEEEEPPY
Posted @ Wednesday, May 19, 2010 4:53 PM by jody
ok first of all "it the clown" is not jack,2nd jack is getting old he came out alot and i mean alot of times so i thing "it the clown"(look him up,hes scary)does come from universal and ill like that he would come for hhn 2010 at both parks jack,"it",and "pennywise" (look him up too)could team up and scare everyone in hhn REPLY!
Posted @ Wednesday, May 19, 2010 5:21 PM by bruno
I have gone to every HHN since the first in 1991 when I literally stumbled on it.I would say no to Jack he has been in many and is getting a little old.I would bring in a new character that brings mystery and intrique,someone that has been there all along orchestrating the past events and recruiting the past characters, a supreme being if you will. The houses need to stay fresh there is nothing more dissapointing after spending alot of cash to see the same things. I would do more scare zones, no the entire park should be loaded with them as it was in the begining years. Mix in a little of the truth with fiction. The whole hype of aliens creating humans could be a story line, there are facts to go by and room for imagination. Paranormal done right awsome!! horror films I can tell you the psyco house they did was awsome. probably the scariest I have been in. Attention to detail is the key, we all want to be immersed in the world you create for us. HHN 20 think outside the box make it one to remember.
Posted @ Wednesday, May 19, 2010 9:14 PM by loyal
Yep, do it like the old days. My first HHN was 1992 and it was by far the best back then. I stopped going about 4 years ago when I got sick of all the drunks and the huge push for alcohol with bars on every corner. I totally agree that the Psyco house was frickin awesome and that is the kind of attention to detail that HHN needs to get back to.
Posted @ Wednesday, May 19, 2010 9:33 PM by John

I Belive they should do some: PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 
 
EXORCISM 
 
TEXAS CHAINSAW. 
 
 
 
For the clowns they should try creating new clowns characters with crazy features and put away jack and save him for another year.

This might be a random idea, 
 
but what about a scary video games 
 
theme ? Like resident evil or silent hill theme ? You could make so many haunted houses with horror games, but thats just an idea.
Posted @ Monday, May 24, 2010 6:44 PM by Aquamarine16
hi ive only been to hhn once and that was 2 years ago im going this year as its the 20th year it should be something special and maybe they should base it around icons ie jason ,freddy,etc or maybe they will shock everyone with something new n twisted either way im sure it will be good wotever they do

How about a Area 51 theme? 
 
 
 
if not. paranormal or excorisms
Posted @ Friday, May 28, 2010 8:09 AM by emaze
Doomsday was kind of their take on Area 51, so that's out of the question. I think that they should alter the rides, turning them into the haunted house, and get rid of the traditional walk through this set, and have people jump out at you. It could be like, all of the bad guys are tired of losing, so they've created an alternate reality in which they win, similar to Scary Tales.
Posted @ Friday, May 28, 2010 12:49 PM by E
I believe it would be good to add in scare actors in the lines of the lower lot rides. They can have some fun adding in some mummies for revenge of the mummy ride and maybe half eaten characters for jurrasic park just to keep people entertained. 
 
 
 
It would be good also to have  
 
The Exorcist 
 
Freddy Crouger 
 
Clowns Funhouse 
 
or something like that.
Posted @ Friday, May 28, 2010 4:35 PM by HHN rules!
So I thought it out a bit and I think it would be good to add in: 
 
 
 
Nightmare on Elm.St 2010 remake? 
 
The Exorcist? 
 
Wolfman? 
 
Texas Chainsaw Massacre? 
 
Scream? 
 
Jacks Funhouse? 
 
 
 
Those are just suggetions. Im really looking foward to visiting HHN this year will be my 2nd year participating in attending this event and i hope they dont let us down and it will be something cool :)
Posted @ Friday, May 28, 2010 4:59 PM by HHN 2010!!!
USH should bring in eddie the clown/psycho instead of jack the clown becuase he didnt really recieve that much glory as jack did. it should add new mayhem. :)
Posted @ Saturday, May 29, 2010 12:15 PM by Bring Eddie back.
i think they should defenetly do a paranormal activity theme that should involve exorcist movies that wouod be really scary i mean if u think bout it paramormal activity was one of the scariest movie nd most talked bout so imagine if u put that into play people will go crazy and i say put some michael myers in there 2 his a scary character and its something that they never had before
Posted @ Saturday, May 29, 2010 1:50 PM by frida
I cant wait for HHN2010, I really think they should have the scariest character possible....PIKACHU!!!
Posted @ Tuesday, June 01, 2010 2:10 PM by Wlad
Personally, I think that Jack the Clown should NOT be reused, at least for a while...he is old, and it would be awesome if they didn't use him for a couple of years, and then they surprised everyone. Jack The Ripper however, sounds like an excellent idea. No one has ever done it before, and it would be cool to see Universal Creative's take on the legend of the most bloodthirsty killer of all time. I think the Paranormal Activity idea could be interesting, but they would have to do it PERFECTLY, they couldn't mess anything up, or it could end up being extremely lame. I think a 30 Days of Night House could be very cool, lots of opportunities for scares...also, they should definitely keep Saw...and Mary Shaw is sooooo creepy...and it might be really interesting to make Lord Voldemort a main villain this year, to capitalize on The Wizarding World of Harry Potter opening. He is one of the most frightening, evil villains in all of modern literature, and he could wreak havoc on Universal...I personally think he would be amazing!!! So, my vote goes to Jack The Ripper and/or Lord Voldemort.
Posted @ Wednesday, June 02, 2010 6:59 AM by Jackson C
I never been to hhn but i cant wait to go this year, But out of everyone there the need to have Freddy there, He just had elm street out and that was a hit, So seeing him in action would be a good idea and also scary as hell
Posted @ Wednesday, June 02, 2010 12:47 PM by JAY
Lord Voldemort could be cool...I think 30 days of night would be awesome as well as Silent Hill....Silent Hill is such a terrifying movie in certain spots so I think they could play off of those weird creatures and make it horrifying if done right. I also love zombies and I think to bring some back would be awesome. In 2008 when the theme was Bloody Mary and they had that zombie house and the zombies walking around outside of the house, i thought that was eerie. My boyfriend, who "never gets scared at that crap" was genuinely scared and trying to push himself out of the zombie house. lol he did not like that one at all. I thought it was great! Also, the line to get into the houses can be so boring. i think the longest line I experienced last year was for Chucky....That line was horrendous and took up a lot of time. I think it would be awesome if they had characters terrorizing the people waiting in line! keep it interesting right? And I also agree that instead of small individual scare zones I think they should have different themed scare zones but going on throughout the whole park..Not just in little areas. Okay, Im done for now! I cannot wait to find out what it will officially be this year as well as look around the site when they have it changed!
Posted @ Wednesday, June 02, 2010 1:06 PM by ~*Jenn*~
ok first of all, they should have both parks open this time. im so sick and tired of going only to universal all the time. they usually don't even have all the rides open :\ they should make it rlly big this year since its the 20th year. So why not both parks? Harry Potter will be open by then and riding the hulk is so fun at night (: i definately don't think the clown should be reused. he's been used to many times. i mean come on? and ino some ppl want freddy because of his new movie. But didnt we just have a Freddy, Jason, and texas chainsaw masscre guy theme like 2 years ago? they should have something new, someone new for that matter. A new icon. Jack the Ripper is good. But what kind of hauted housed could u make ? Wasnt Jack the Ripper in england? they could make like a sleepy hollow haunted house? or i mean they can't use wolfman again. but deff should bring zombies backk,
Posted @ Thursday, June 03, 2010 3:33 PM by *Amanduhh*
you guys should do a few circus themed icons. Bring back the clown. Bring Pinhead to holloween horror nights. maybe bring ghostface, eddie quist, sweeney todd. maybe brink back chucky,leatherface, scarface. maybe do some evil twists on superheroes. You can make spiderman use his webs to choke people. You can make wolverine use his claws to slash and kill.Maybe you can get erik from phantom of the opera and do some evil twist on him. please email me back if you like these ideas and notify me what you guys plan to bring to holloween horror nights. Thanks

I think they should use Islands of Adventure ad the new Harry Potter park. They could use all three parks since this is the 20th year of HHN. The group of friends I attend with every year agree they need to add the other parks to give something new.  
 
 
 
We all agree they need to go all out and bring every character they can and as many scarezones as possible. 
 
 
 
With the new HP park opened, they have a great place to put Jack the ripper, warewolfs and others.  
 
 
 
Whatever the theme, this year needs to be huge.

Posted @ Sunday, June 06, 2010 7:03 PM by erik
I AGREE WITH SOME OF THE COMMENTS ABOUT CHANGING UP THE THEME FOR HHN, BUT I DO LIKE SEEING THE CLOWN EVEN THOUGH I AM PETRIFIED OF THEM, THE FIRST YEAR THAT I WENT TO HHN WAS WHEN IT WAS THE "CARNIVAL OF CARNAGE THEME" I HAVE BEEN ATTENDING THIS EVENT SINCE THEN, AND THIS ONLY AN OPINION BUT THE 2008 OR 2009 THEME CAME NOWHERE CLOSE TO HHN 2007. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE UNIVERSAL BRING BACK LEATHER FACE, FREDDY AND JASON. THOSE HOUSES WHERE PRETTY TERRIFYING. COME ON UNIVERSAL MAKE IT HAPPEN THIS YEAR!!!!
Posted @ Monday, June 07, 2010 10:19 AM by MS. THOMAS
I have been going to HHN since 1996. I can say that the best yrs were 2000, 2003, & 2005. It would be nice if they could bring back the "original" characters from those years. That would be awesome!!! Okay Universal let's rock & roll for 2010!!!
Posted @ Monday, June 07, 2010 6:25 PM by Bless TB
I think they should do a Bioshock haunted house!! That would be totally creepy!!Having little sisters, big daddies, big sisters, and Splicers running around. That would truly be awesome!!
Posted @ Tuesday, June 08, 2010 2:42 PM by Kt
Texas Chainsaw 
 
Halloween 
 
Nightmare on Elm Street 
 
Paranormal Activity 
 
The Ring 
 
The Strangers

Universal, to claim to be so imaginative and creative, needs to come up with NEW ICONS and NEW THEMES for crying out loud!!! It seems lazy to me that they keep bringing back the same icons over and over.
Posted @ Wednesday, June 09, 2010 7:00 PM by JH
My husband and I are avid patrons to howl-o-scream, and 2009 was their 10th anniversary, it sucked sooo bad, we have decided for 2010 to give halloween horror nights a chance. No matter what "theme" they use I just hope its not as lame as HOS 2009
Posted @ Thursday, June 10, 2010 8:38 PM by Krystal
BRING FREDDIE. I JUST SAW THE MOVIE AND IT WAS AMAZING. I WOULD LOVE TO BE SCARED BY HIM. && OH, AND THE GUY FROM THE HALLOWEEN MOVIE. I went to HHN ripped from the silver screen. and it was gooood ! i like the idea that they take the people we are scared of from the movies and have them in HHN. THEY SHOULD BRING FREDDIE AND THE GUY FROM THE HALLOWEEN MOVIE. I would deffinately come again. NO MORE STUPID CLOWN !
Posted @ Sunday, June 13, 2010 12:50 PM by brenda
Since its 20 years, i think it would be awesome if they do a theme with the 3 classic horror icons, Freddy, Micheal, and Jason!!
Posted @ Sunday, June 13, 2010 6:37 PM by Stef
The idea of bringing back Jack the Clown is really lame. They've used him as a scare icon many times. Also bringing back Nightmare on Elm street (Freddy), Leatherface and Jason is lame as well. They have already used them before in the past HHN. Here's some of my ideas: 
 
BOOGYMAN 
 
WRONGTURN 
 
MARY SHAW 
 
PHANTOM OF THE OPERA (the movie is not scary, but I believe if Universal takes the time they could twist it up a bit) 
 
PARANORMAL ACTIVITY (it can be done ladies and gentlemen. You have to remember that it was a demon, not technically a "ghost." Having the girl walk around possesed and her face like it was at the end of the movie would be good.) 
 
THE CRAZIES 
 
THE EXORCIST 
 
POLTERGEIST 
 
MIRRORS 
 
THE AMITYVILLE HORROR 
 
HELLRAISER 
 
JEEPERS CREEPERS 
 
THE RING 
 
They should also start using video games in there somewhere too. Movies aren't the only ones that scare. Here are some game ideas they can use: 
 
BIOSHOCK 
 
DANTES INFERNO(I'd really like to see something like this.) 
 
F.E.A.R. 
 
Truthfully I really don't wanna be going to another HHN with the same themes. It's just gonna get boring and a waste of money. I can see Jack walking around in the scare zones maybe, but just having him as the main attraction... No! I believe they should start taking the truth and adding fiction to it. It would make it more scarier (to me anyways. I don't know about everyone else.) I hope that whatever Universal does though it will be awesome!
Posted @ Tuesday, June 15, 2010 2:14 PM by Desiree
I think they should do a classical horror movie theme but make the monsters like revamped and new. 
and if it were to be a harry potter thing they should make voldemort be the host and make him a bloodthirsty hellraiser
Posted @ Tuesday, June 15, 2010 7:47 PM by Gabriel
VAMPIRES & WEREWOLVES!!!!! BUT MAKE THEM SCARY VERY VERY SCARY, NO WHIMPY VAMPS OR WOLVES!! I WANT LIKE "AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON" SCARY!!!!!

HHN 2009 was alright. I didn't like the Frankenstein, Vampires or werewolf. For 2010 I would like to see Michael Meyers, Freddy, and Jack!!!
Posted @ Friday, June 18, 2010 4:26 PM by Amanda
The clown should be used lightly if used cause he is a good scare. But I feel that bring back previous themes could potentialy double cross yourself and make seem like repeats. I propose using the top previous thriller movies and maybe some old ones like scream. I also say making a ride where your kinda stuck and the scarers run at you. Like a hay ride type thing. Also bring back a house where you have to run and the one with helmets that a lights that trigger on and off type deals
Posted @ Saturday, June 19, 2010 4:20 AM by Ash
I think they should start a terror tram in orlando like they do in hollywood, and i would also like to see some classic scares like scream,micheal myers, jason, and freddy....
Posted @ Sunday, June 20, 2010 10:39 AM by hunter
I think they should have a halloween horror nights park instead of using universal, they can mabey do it in orlando somewhere, they can fit alot of mazes and scarezones if they had there own park instaed of using universal studios...

they finally have some adds up for hhn 20 well we know the name is 20 years of fear not some scrapbook and we know its going to be in islands of adventure and with the return of the the parade so with 20 years of fear could this mean jack and freddy, jason, storyteller,caretaker even the usher are coming back??? well ive done some research about what time last years website went up and it when up in august( the whole thing) but the teaser site was up around june 25th to july 1st so we should be expecting some new updates with in the next couple days or weeks for orlando...
Posted @ Wednesday, June 23, 2010 8:47 AM by hunter
i think it would be awsome to bring back the clown and past characters i missed the carnival theme with jack freddy jason and leatherface and personally would love to see it this year

ok people u should start checking the hhn website because the teaser site should be up with in the next 5 days...
Posted @ Friday, June 25, 2010 9:33 AM by hunter
I am terriefied of clowns but think if Universal brings him back they need to do like an IT theme and make it scarier. I also think Paranormal Activity would be dumb only for the fact that like others have said it is just banging doors and walking, you don't see anyone. Exorcism of Emily Rose would be good because that is based on a true story. The collector, the strangers, Amityville Horror (true story), Pet Cemetary, the Mist, Saw, HEllraiser, Hostel, Wrong Turn, and Drag me to Hell, would all be either good themes or good houses and characters. I also think that the best HHN I have ever been to is when they had it between both parks.
Posted @ Sunday, June 27, 2010 10:36 AM by Jennifer
How about making a 'Descent' themed house, one of the scariest films I've seen, an I know a lot of people who would agree! You could also play on a zombie theme, zombies running at you, that's pretty scary, an from last year, the Dracula house, that was the scariest one, along with 'The Wolfman', which got me looking forward to the movie, but then was let down! The saw house was definitely not worth the wait though. Just a few suggestions an a little feedback from last year, hope people who are going this year enjoy it!

Needs to make it where you use both parks that was the best time i ever had at HHN.and the one house where its pitch dark an the only light you had was on the lead person of a group..
Posted @ Friday, July 02, 2010 5:08 AM by Jesse
how about if there was no space between scare zones, and the whole park was one big scarezone, no escape from one to another would be great on top of that im hoping that if its 20 yrs of hhn maybe the thing will be back but with an original design and new creature creations!!
Posted @ Friday, July 02, 2010 5:24 AM by paul
I've never been to a HHN ever. The first time I ever heard about it was way back in 1991. I think my aunt and uncle went and they brought back a long sleeve shirt for my dad. It had Frankenstein, Wolf Man, Dracula, etc. Then I heard about it again in 2002 when the Travel Channel did a Halloween special about the Care Taker. I didn't check the website until 2004's "What's Your Breaking Point?" and personally, I would have loved to attend that one.  
 
 
 
I agree with others that have previously stated that Jack shouldn't be brought back this upcoming year. I'd like to see something new. "Carnival of Carnage" was great and Jack had his thing, now they need to do something else. HHN 19 didn't look to interesting from the website so they definitely need to do something to redeem last year.
Posted @ Sunday, July 04, 2010 4:24 AM by Jessica
i looked up hhn themes on google this morning and the top one said hhn/orlando the the words under it said-Explore the Islands of Adventure that include 7 new haunted houses, the Festival of the Dead Parade, and Scare Zones.check it ot for urself could this be leading to something? 
 
 
 
Posted @ Sunday, July 04, 2010 9:48 AM by hunter
Call in Rob Zombie as a consultant, if there has to be a clown it should be Captain Spaulding! Do away with the scarezones (lame) the whole park should be the scarezone. The last five years have not even scared my kids (13, 10, 9, 6), they think it's lame, so it obviously needs to be taken to a new level. Put some spooks on the rides at the last minute, too =)

They should do something new. I think they should have the dead girl from The Ring and maybe the mutated people from the Hills have eyes. They should also have a ton of zombies run out and chase everyone like in 28 days later. They can't do paranormal activity cause u can't see the monster.
Posted @ Sunday, July 11, 2010 9:35 AM by Kimmy
k so i read some comments, those who say they should bring it they rock,those for jack or freddy,letherface jason etc 
suck 
wee need an new HORRER ICON THAT HAD NEVER CAME OUT FROM HHN LIKE IT THE CLOWN IT IS NOT JACK 
IF YOU LOOK "IT" UP YOU WILL SHIT YOUR PANTS AND BECOME CLOWNAPOBICE 
I SAW IT THE MOVIE WHEN I WAS 3 YEARS OLD AND GOT NIGHTMARES FROM THAT GUY FOR 3 YEARS EVEN THOUGH IT THE CLOWN IS FROM THE 80'S HE IS SCARY 
so evryone go for it the clown if yoou don't know him look it up 
so go team it the clown he's better than jack,jaCK was ok but only funny not scary

I have a character named "Claws". He's a mad inventor and a mad sicentist of sorts. He has a butler named Igor too. Claws would be a great theme for HHN this year! Claws has his own dark castle, and lives in Wonderland which is already scary and strange. Along with Claws, I would like to see haunted houses that are based on time travel. Since Claws is an inventor, he could turn the park into a huge time machine! Bring back the old icons as well, and maybe some horror movie characters. What you guys think?

HHN in 2003 was awesome..... Instead of Scare Zones -- the ENTIRE Islands of Adventure was one big scare zone. You couldn't see where you were going AT ALL because of all the smoke, lights, life size bubble piles, props, people...etc. When they hold the festivities in Universal it doesn't do it any kind of justice. The park outlines a huge lake which enables you to see everything going on and doesn't help the fog they create to try to blur your vision. The truth is what scares people is when they are caught off guard and the unexpected throws them off, in Islands of Adventure that happened with every step. In Universal you see people running toward you a mile away and going "boo"... not really scary at all. Whatever they decide to do this year isn't going to be a third as good if they don't move it back to Islands of Adventure.
Posted @ Sunday, July 25, 2010 12:35 PM by Sarah Thornton

I have all of the information scince I am in charge of Halloween Horror Nights this year Jack The Clown will be returning this year at Islands of Adventure with an army of gouls,monsters,and ghost of Halloween Horror Nights past this army will flood the streets of Islands of Adventure all night long with only one thought in mind to TERRORIZE EVERYONE the entrance will be a scare zone with chainsaws and Halloween Horror Nights past there will be a total of 20 scare zones and 20 houses this will be the most Terrifying Halloween Horror Nights yet.

i've never been to a hhn before but from the videos ive seen and pics and the airticls i'v read then i think jack is a good idea because he kinda creeps me out and if they put a spin on it, it would be greatand with the other guys suggestion i think some video game based theme would bring in alot more people(but dantes inferno is a little bit racey)on the outher hand dead space would be good or left 4dead would scare alot of people.I personely think they should put in a kind of ferriy ride were you sitt in a boat and get attcked by like giant monsters and or serpents and there were people geting killed on the boat(fakes of coures)and only a few people left alive(you guys) to get saftly to the island you came from.it would be on the same bases as the jaws ride except lots of blood and guts.my last inqiery is they need to put in more horror legends like jack the riper,and the manson family.the manson family would be relitivly easy just make a scare zone that has the ranch and the actualy manson family commeting crimes and murders(the family would be just people dressed up like the family)amd it would be pretyy damn good i think> well thats my impot hope you like it!

ok so here is what I say...they should do a scare zone from the movie The Crazies. I actually enjoyed the Saw house last year. Paranormal Activity would be good but would need some serious thought. I like the idea of Thirteen Ghosts maybe like the theme of the park and then have houses of other things. I think they should bring back Freddy for sure. Finally I agree with the whole park being open for scare zone, like someone stated above you are there to get scared at any point if you dont want to be scared...dont go to HHN.

YESSS. i think paranoral activity and freddy would be amazingggg! and jack the clown would be pretty legitamate as well!

I think that this year they should bring in Paranormal Activity !! That movie was creepy, and that clown from the Drive thru Was very creepy as well (:

If they do bring back Jack they need to make a house like a funhouse. I remember a haunted house in I think it was 2004, that had all kinds of mirrors and really felt like you didn't know where you were going. 
 
Also one year in a scarezone they had this awesome set up with black and white colored boards and scareactors dressed to match and with the lighting you couldn't see them against the boards until they jumped out at you.. scariest thing I've seen in my life...

I heard this year will be the scariest not because of Jack the Clown though I heard this year will be based on all real events I did it last year and this is what I have heard so far

BRING MYERS TO ORLANDO!!! BRING BACK LEATHERFACE a clown is a clown to me Jack is jack... I've never been afraid of clowns... BUT the infamous movies of all time growing up like Jason and freddy... hell, bring em all back. a combination of the most terrifying movies would be amazing. that would be well worth it. I'd love to see a scarezone of leatherface with his victims missing limbs, and faces. I'd love to more pop outs in the scarezones.

Love HHN can't wait for this year, but this is only a thought what does anybody think about doing some kind of thing with stephen king like sleepwalkers or something just a thought that come tru my head.
Posted @ Monday, August 16, 2010 11:43 AM by Rella
i think that they need to keep "Bloody Mary" that was the best year! and of course jack <3

I've never been to HHN but I live like right by universal in Florida so I really need to go. I love getting scared. I think that jack should come back because I am terrified of clowns and I want to get scared by one haha. Although people that come back may or may not get scared of him they can go to a different part of the theme park all the new people that come want to see him because they never have before. I LOVE HALLOWEEN!!!!!

Forget Jack, he's ight. Jason sucks. Freddy was good. Bring back "The people under the stairs!" That was f'in awesome. Also AVP would be good. I mean if you do bring back Jason, make him vs freddy or mike myers. Forget Jack, bring in IT! he's wayyy scarier. I mean a clown that turns into your worst nightmare... i mean awesome. The director and caretaker ones were good too :).

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IT!! BING HIM IN HES BETTER AT SCARING AND VERY FRECKY
Posted @ Wednesday, August 25, 2010 6:51 PM by bruno
I think that they should forget Jack. Bring in scareier NEW things. New characters , from new movies. this is the big 2010 !! It has to blow everyone's mind.
Posted @ Sunday, August 29, 2010 12:50 PM by Miliany
YES TO THE CLOWN!!!!!!!! I didn't get to go to HHN of 09 becaouse my lame friends went without tellin me. They suck. But i love the clown idea. Maybe if they do a zombie thing to, i love zombies. Really wanna see jason, letherr face, & freddy again as well.
Posted @ Tuesday, August 31, 2010 3:25 PM by Gerardo
well.. if you check the website you'd see the scarezones and haunted houses. and the theme..

To Jake, the inventor of ,"Claws": 
 
 
 
I read your idea, and it just seems like too much. I didn't like it. Sorry. The mad scientist thing is old. Why is it that when there's a mad scientist, his henchman/helper is named Igor? His home is in a dark castle...Again, overused. Which happens to be in Wonderland...Alright, I have to ask. Where the f*** did that come from? It seems a bit random. He has a time machine and can travel into the past...Yet another tired idea, plus it doesn't make sense that he's a mad scientist and owns a time machine. You hear "Mad Scientist", you think some psycho in a labcoat coming up with creepy/scary mutations in an attemt to enslave humanity or find a way to bring back a dead loved one. 
 
 
 
To those who suggested Voldemort as a villian at the HHN20...I really can't put to words the stupidity of that notion. I'm sorry but, Harry Potter has never been considered scary so adding He-Who-Should-Not-Be-Named wouldn't make sense and would be pointless. HP and HHN should remain seperate. 
 
 
 
To those who keep shouting for a Paranormal Activity house. I'm sure that would be scary, but the problem is since the whole movie took place in the dark and you don't see the creatures or a creature til the end of the movie, it would be a hard house to pull off without the use of scare actors.
Posted @ Saturday, September 04, 2010 2:54 AM by Jessica
Yea Harry potter has never been seen as scary but then again neither was wizard of oz which they turned into a scare zone. Or Alice in wonderland. Or superhero villains which they used one year. So anything can be made scary. Btw to all of u wasting their time about stupid ideas for the park, check out the web site.
Posted @ Saturday, September 04, 2010 10:49 AM by Ruben
ok paranormal activitie,universal CAN'T pull that one anyways,because how would they make the demon invesable? and only seeing the guy and the possised girl is boring if they try to pull that one off,the house will be a FAIL! 
 
and harry potter idea is no good either,no part in every movie about him is scary exept the snake and the huge ass spider but thats all it 
 
dead silence...... 
did it last 7 year 3/10 
fail 
 
now for hollywood its saw chucky la  
lorona and fredy kuger 2010 
 
for orlando i have no idea i guess its jack or something else 
 
now many of you like deffrint ideas for this years hhn 
 
my idea it just it the clown 
some old universal horror classic made by stehen king 
thats my idea but yours??? thats the real scary part if you think about it
Posted @ Saturday, September 04, 2010 2:51 PM by bruno
I THINK IT WOULD BE AWESOME IF ONE YEAR HHN DID SOMETHING WITH THE 8 FILMS TO DIE FOR MOVIES. LOVE THOSE MOVIES AUTOPSY, THE FINAL THOSE MOVIES ARE AWESOME!
Posted @ Saturday, September 04, 2010 9:36 PM by rella
All i wanna say is that i hope HHN 10 is ganna b scary as hell. Might not b but lik i said. I hope. Because wean i go to hhn, i excpect to b scared, NOT to see wat iv already seen & say "wow. thats old". So i just really hope they pull something good this year.
Posted @ Sunday, September 05, 2010 10:52 PM by Gerardo
Im totally with the idea for thirteen ghost! that's probley the best idea that was stated. Paranormal activity wasn't scary at all, and how could you turn that into a haunted house? I would say no to that and I would also say deffinatly not to harry potter! How in any way was that scary?  
 
 
 
Also if you were to bring back jack only make him a little part of the park. I thought the Exorcist sounded pretty cool. I would say to deffinatly think about Thirteen Ghost, you could do alot with that, and i think it would draw in big crowds.
Posted @ Monday, September 06, 2010 12:51 PM by haile
I think they should use the harry potter area and castle but DO NOT SCREW UP HHN AND MAKE HARRY STUPID ASS POTHEAD THE F****** THEME FOR THAT PART check the web site there was an update and it says all the scarezones and houses
Posted @ Monday, September 06, 2010 3:21 PM by HHN man
I WAS SAY THAT THEY SHOULD DO EXORCIST HOUSE BUT NOW I SAY WHY NOT TAKE ALL THE HOLIDAYS EASTER XMAS TOOTH FAIRY ALL THE HOLIDAY CHARACTERRS AND MAKE A SCARE ZONE OR HOUSE WITH KILLER HOLIDAY ....SHYT A CRAZY CRACKED OUT FROSTY OR SANTA AND EASTER BUNNY TOOTHFAIRY THATS SOME CRAZY SHYT

can anyone help me and tell me why hhn is different prices on different nights does different stuff happen or something thanks guyss jack the clownn woop wopp

I share in the thought of not bringing back the Clown. Although scary, it has become a bit used.  
 
The thought of a Terror Train would be in interesting twist. This could tie in all the charactes associated with past horror films. 
 
I love the idea of 13 Ghosts. It that could be pulled off you would have many grateful attendees. 
 
The characters of the past have been great for the past 20 years, but there needs to be a new twist. Maybe a theme based on control. The characters of tired of having to be assigned a role each year, and they what total control over the part based on overall scare factor. 
 
House of Wax would be interesting. 
 
Something to ask is...What really scares us? 
 
There also needs to be a story that ties the whole park together. "Bloody Mary" was a bit of a disappointment. The lead in was good, but it didn't really have a BANG for an ending. I followed that story line for 4 months, but didn't get a great deal out of it after my visit. 
 
For true horrow fans, maybe something based off of movies that are not so "main-stream". Maybe even a bit twisted for those over the age of 18 or 21. There are some great films being marketed to the general horror market that could provide some great themes. Pick up a copy of Fangoreia! 
 
I would also like to see something offered based on Special Effects. I don't have an opportunity to explore this subject, and Universal is in a postion to offer in insiders look at something based on this topic. 
 
Thanks for allowing me to offer suggestions. If this is not looked at this season, maybe next. 
 
Thanks again.

You guys should put Chucky or a dead amusement park or zombies or aliens . Think about it i like zombies because those movies keep yu on the edge of yer seat yu have tons of zombies coming toward yu and all yu caan do is run . I like the zombie idea better .

I am going to Halloween horror nights and I hope its better than the 08 one of bloody mary. I didnt think that one was too good. My fav one was in 06 when they had it in islands of adventure and universal studios combined. ofcourse i mostly stayed in islands cause it was wayyyyyy better. they need to switch up and so it like that again. im kinda tired of universal studios already. and the clown i dont know hopefully its not boring.
Posted @ Friday, September 17, 2010 11:34 AM by Vanessa
Even better, how about a Call of Cthulhu house? British horror never gets old
Posted @ Friday, September 17, 2010 4:55 PM by Pvt. Parts
I really want to go!!!
Posted @ Friday, September 17, 2010 6:43 PM by something
iv only been there once for the bloody mary one, but hearing that they already used jack two times they should let him rest. i mean its going to be 20 years it needs to be awesome, and a lot of people said yeah bring back the clown but im sorry he had alrady been used to much (for now at least). they need something new but still familliar in a sense. they need to go all out without useing everything. even if they do bring back the clown wich i dont agree with i will still go and have fun, even with an already used out icon. good luck to HHN.

Dear Ruben, 
 
 
 
I read your comment. The idea actually came from the script for a movie I wrote. And I forgot to mention that "Claws" is a good guy. He's just insane. Igor is a joke cause Igor is usualy the name for helpers. In my script, the world they live in is Wonderland. I picked Wonderland cause it is already strange and creepy. And there would be two icons. Claws, and someone else. Claws is good, so we would need someone evil. JACK VS. CLAWS WOULD KICK ASS!!! Both parks should be used. Both parks would transform into Wonderland and an epic battle between good and evil would go on during the event. It would be cool to see good fight back. The guests would be good and on Claws' side. Ghouls and monsters on Jack's side. That would be so cool!

i bet that halloween horror nights i going to be the best this year
Posted @ Tuesday, October 05, 2010 2:49 PM by elizebeth
Halloween Horror Nights needs to stop relying so heavily on their already developed characters and make some new ones. The best years were the years when they had an original event icon every year (The storyteller, The caretaker, The director). Those were great, they need to come up with a really scary character that has not been done before.
Posted @ Friday, October 15, 2010 12:09 PM by Darian
They need to show case the axed character "Eddie" from hhn 15. 9/11 is way past and they should showcase such a devious character
