'American Horror Story' to Frighten Fans at Universal Studios' Halloween Horror Nights
Universal Studios is utilising FX's frightening anthology series American Horror Story for its Halloween Horror Nights this year, choosing themes from three of the show's five seasons.
The Murder House from season 1, the Freak Show from season 4, and the Hotel from season 5 will all feature.
“‘American Horror Story’ is one of the most disturbing television shows ever produced, and with such perverse storylines unfolding with each installment, ‘Halloween Horror Nights’ is undoubtedly the only place that could create a living version of the nightmares that Ryan Murphy dreams up,” said John Murdy, Creative Director at Universal Studios Hollywood and Executive Producer of “Halloween Horror Nights."
“Plus, as a fan favorite, ‘American Horror Story’ has been the number one requested maze from our guests and we’re excited to let them know that we listened to them and are bringing ‘American Horror Story’ to life.”
“‘American Horror Story’ is engaging for so many reasons, one of them being the fantastic way each installment of the series reveals completely new characters and stories for its viewers,” said Michael Aiello, Director of Entertainment Creative Development for Universal Orlando Resort. “It's that constant evolution that makes this popular series a perfect fit for Halloween Horror Nights – and we can’t wait for our guests to experience some of the horrors they’ve seen on the show."
The all-new maze attraction will go live on Friday, September 16. Greg Lombardo, SVP of Global Live and Location-Based Entertainment at 20th Century Fox added, "The attraction – which showcases multiple chapters from the acclaimed FX anthology – offers a chilling live-action thrill and simultaneously complements the series highly anticipated premiere on September 14th.”
Season 6 of the series premieres September 14.
