I enjoyed the Universal Studios Hollywood Halloween Horror Nights back in 2007 when they shelled out the dough for the licensing of what I consider to be "the big 3" in iconic horror characters: Jason, Freddy and Leatherface. You can read my gushing HERE.Then I went back in 2008 (read my pre-going excitement HERE) when they added The Strangers maze... which turned out to be the Universal Monsters maze with some unimposing half-assed teenagers wearing The Strangers masks. Boooo. (That is "dissatisfaction boo" not "scary boo.")
Though I didn't enjoy it nearly as much the 2nd time (my review and pics never quite made it to the blog) I still admired being able to step into iconic scenes from some of my favorite horror franchises.
I remember back in '07 thinking what a coup it would have been to have Jason, Freddy, Leatherface AND Michael Myers in the same park attraction.
Well I'm getting my wish... sort of.
According to one of my favorite horror sites BloodyDisgusting.com, the 2009 incarnation of Universal Studio's Halloween Horror Nights is said to have a Michael Myers from Halloween MAZE!
BUT... they've dropped Freddy, Jason and Leatherface this year.
I instantly flew to my keyboard and web browser to verify on the official website for USHHN but alas, there's nothing but some Saw/Jigsaw character...
Waitaminute...!!!
In what I consider a "duh, of COURSE" stroke of genius there will also be a SAW Maze!
I very much look forward to what the SFX masters at Universal come up with for our old pal Jigsaw to put us through.
I'm sure there will be some more news as the October dates get closer confirming dear ol' Michael. And I also have a sneaking suspicion it'll be the Rob Zombie version of Halloween rather than the Carpenter version. Which... is... fine... I guess.
My point: I'll probably go. Again.
