-
2007 was not the first time the title
"Carnival of Carnage" had been used at a
Halloween Horror Nights event. In 1992,
the first Halloween Horror Nights at
Universal Studios Hollywood, a scarezone
was promptly titled the "Carnival of
Carnage."
-
A portrait of the Storyteller could be
found amongst portraits inside "Dead
Silence: The Curse of Mary Shaw." The same
portrait was used in "Halloween Horror
Nights: Sweet 16" inside the "Dungeon of
Terror."
-
Several props from the "Back to the
Future" attraction could be found in both
"Psychoscareapy: Home for the Holidays,"
and "Dead Silence: The Curse of Mary
Shaw." Primarily the mass amount of clocks
throughout Psychoscareapy, as well as a
desk found in Mary Shaw's workshop. In the
fireplace scene of Psychoscareapy, a
portrait of Doc Brown's children sitting
in front of the Clock Tower can be found
inside of an actor's boo-hole.
-
Universal licensed official horror movie
icons - Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees,
and Leatherface - from New Line Cinema.
While this was the first time the named
characters could be spotted at the event,
all three of them were featured together
(in likeness) in the original "All Nite
Die-In" from "Halloween Horror Nights 13."
-
"Carnival of Carnage" featured one giant
scarezone rather than several small ones
with different themes. This centralized
the overall "Carnival" theme of the event
to make it consistent and cohesive. To add
to the area, a full-sized Ferris Wheel was
installed in front of Men in Black,
scareactors drove around in bumper cars,
and the motorcycles used at the event were
modified to look like crazed carrousel
horses.
-
The original title of "Psychoscareapy:
Home for the Holidays" was "Silent Night,
Psychotic Night." Last minute name changes
are not uncommon for the event, however,
one of the T-Shirts for this years event
was printed with the "Silent Night,
Psychotic Night" title on it.
-
"The Thing: Assimilation" is based off of
John Carpenter's 1982 film "The Thing."
Universal had planned on creating this
house many times in the past (more can be
read in HHNvault's article "The
Thing - Assimilation") but did
not execute the house until the film's
25th anniversary.
-
This was the first year Halloween Horror
Nights featured a stage show version of
the Rocky Horror Picture show. This idea
had been brought up several years in the
past, but was never implemented until
2007.
