The Exorcist Confirmed As Second House At Universal Halloween Horror Nights
Get possessed at HHN26.
The Exorcist will make its debut at Universal's Halloween Horror Nights this September, possessing both the Orlando Resort and Universal Studios.
Universal officially announced the news this week, the Oscar nominated movie becoming the second confirmed house for this year's spooky fun and frights along with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
At Universal's Orlando Resort, horror fans will be treated to a recreation of all the blood-curdling scenes from the Oscar nominated movie which tells the story of Regan MacNeils' demonic possession.
Creatives at Universal want guests to feel like they are in the house with the characters, running in terror after witnessing and even smelling everything from Regan's levitation, her creepy spinning head and the infamous green projectile vomit.
Halloween Horror Night Creative, Michael Aiello talked about the complexities of creating a maze where most of the action takes place in one room.
"The answer we landed on was first to break down and assess all the visuals and moments from the film...The famous pea soup scene for instance. What if we were surrounded in the materials of the retch-covered bed? What if those layers of mattress padding literally enveloped us?... traversing through a vomit-covered bed is pretty horrifying and disgusting by itself. Now add a possessed girl into the mix!"
It sounds like this house will be creating an uncomfortable environment where the rancid smells, gross textures and haunting sights will envelope you.
This year's Halloween Horror Nights will begin September and run for selected nights.
