Now I know you adrenaline junkies are reading this now so keep your eyes open. Universal Studios in Orlando has presented their newest trailer for the twentieth anniversary of Halloween Horror Nights. It’s gone the SAW format by presenting it in roman numerals which I dig very well.
The video is actually directed by the Spierig Brothers who have DAYBREAKERS under their belt. I wonder what got them the job in the first place.
We’ve been writing about a few attractions for HHNXX these past few months and I can tell that this year will be chock full of cheap thrills and scares. But hey, while it may not work well on film it may be what makes these haunted houses, mazes and such so much damn fun. Check out the commercial/trailer/advertisement below and then hit up the site for more exclusive stuff!
For the first time ever, Universal Orlando collaborated with horror film directors to create this year’s commercial. Universal worked with Michael and Peter Spierig, best known for directing “Daybreakers,” the 2010 box office hit starring Ethan Hawke, Willem Dafoe and Sam Neill. Other movies directed by the Spierig brothers include “Undead” (2003) and “The Power of the Dark Crystal,” scheduled to be released in 2011.
The commercial features an on-duty security guard patrolling the Universal Orlando prop warehouse who comes face to face with Fear – the master of everything Halloween Horror Nights has ever been and will become.
This year’s Halloween Horror Nights will feature eight all-new haunted houses, six new scarezones and two live shows. Universal Orlando Halloween Horror Nights XX Event Dates: September 24-25, September 30-October 1-3, 7-10, 14-17, 20-24 and 27-31
