Halloween Horror Night in Universal

By Sandor Hugert

 

I went to Halloween Horror Night in Universal Studios for the first time last weekend, and it was pretty fun.  The whole set up of the park was very well done by making just about everything extremely dark.  In the haunted houses, the set up was still really cool, but it wasn’t really scary at all unless you get scared by people just popping out of nowhere with scary Halloween masks on.  I guess overall the haunted houses were sort of disappointing, as they weren’t scary at all.  The most surprising thing about the park was that the Halloween shows were probably the best thing about them.  When I entered the park, I was thinking that I might not even bother to go to the shows, but I was really surprised.  They were by far the coolest things at the park.  There was one show that really stood out from all the others, and it was called Bill and Ted’s Excellent Halloween Adventure.  The show basically made fun of all the popular movies and news that occurred this year.  It made fun of Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, and Lindsay Lohan a lot.  The movies that they made fun of were Spider-Man 3, Transformers, Blades of Glory, 300, and Rocky Balboa.  It was a great show.  If you go to Halloween Horror Night then make sure to watch the show.  Overall, everything was pretty enjoyable and I had a lot of fun.  I strongly advise people to go see all of it for themselves.
