Halloween Horror Nights 2010 at Universal Studios Hollywood- The Tome of Evil

Icon
The Storyteller- The elderly woman at the old house seems like such a kind and gentle soul. And she has such a vivid imagination that enables her to tell such fantastical stories. But her mind is a dark place and her imaginations are of the grim, bloody and terrifying variety. She has the power to enchant guests to be transported into worlds where it’s residents feast on fears and violence with the guests as their supper.

Mazes
Hellraiser- Do you dare open the Lament Configuration? For if you do, you will be sucked into a world that mixes both pain and pleasure in a sick yet sweet concoction. This is literally Hell, and Pinhead and the cenobite cult wait to show you such sights in the labyrinth of chains. Based on the Hellraiser series, itself based on the novel “The Hellbound Heart” by Clive Barker.

The Ring- There is a legend that if you watch a certain tape depicting a certain stringy haired ghost, you have only 7 days to live before your life is taken away (unless you transfer the curse to someone else). The ghost in question is Samara Morgan, a little girl who couldn’t control her psychic powers and was imprisoned in a well because of it. Now watch the tape and then step into the abyss as Samara directs her pain and suffering towards all of humanity- including you. Based on the 2003 film, itself a reimagining of the 1991 Koji Suzuki novel.

Psycho- It is the 60th anniversary of Alfred Hitchcock’s seminal horror masterpiece, and what better way to celebrate it than by taking you into the film itself? Or rather within Norman’s head that is? See the tortured imagery that inflicts the former proprietor of the Bates Motel, from flashbacks of his previous murders and the memory of his cruel mother, to surreal imagery such as giant knives floating in the air and a version of “Mother Bates” akin to a giant. You may want to check out as soon as possible… but you may not have a choice to leave. Based on the 1960 film, itself based on the novel of the same name by Robert Bloch.

Glasses Hiding Dark Thoughts- Baligha Ballade still lives in the old house. The house is surprisingly well-kept; all it’s antiques and furnishments are still in place after all these years. Unfortunately, so are the corpses hidden under the walls and the floors. The gruesome imagery from the Storyteller’s mind creeps out into reality here as the monsters come out from under the bed and closets.

Scarezones
Chapter One (Front Gate and New York)- Begin the tale by stepping through the front cover and into the first chapter of Halloween Horror Nights. The Storyteller rests on an ornate platform, telling random tales of gory violence and macabre obscenities as giant sized books line the area. Her minions surround the area and you must evade them to move past the various pathways.

Ghostwreck (Western Street)- The fog shrouds the remains of an abandoned shipwreck. The literal skeleton crew glide in the broken corridors, some hiding in the darkness. Demonic dogs from hell also are part of the entourage of fear. Inspired by Old West ghost stories “Ship of Death” and “Hell Dogs”.

Little Red Man (French Street)- A street full of the resurrected drowned spirits of a hospital disaster is the home of the Little Red Man. He used to be an assassin for the royals of Old France until they killed him out of paranoia. Even after taking his revenge from beyond the grave, he is unsatisfied. Walking bodies with faces bloated from the tragedy serve in liege to the Little Red Man as they direct their rage on humanity itself. Inspired by Parisian ghost stories.

Lunatics (Baker Street)- Same as 2010’s one. The notorious White Chapel Asylum is home to the most dangerously disturbed inmates in England. Unfortunately, the Lunatics have overrun the asylum and slaughtered their certakers. Finally freed from the cruel confines of the Asylum, these blood-crazed loonies have begun a murderous rampage through the foggy streets of London.

Not Just Another Fairy Tale (Lower Lot)- The deepest layer of hell awaits you down, down below. This is where the hidden passageway to the house of the Storyteller can be found. But be very careful as hordes of her minions prowl the very streets. Watch out or you may not make it to the epilogue.

Terror Tram: The Final Chapter
Baligha Ballade was a acclaimed storyteller of children’s books who sadly lost her creative touch. This drove her to engage in more visceral themes for her books which eventually led to her ban from publishers. Long after taking revenge (and her disappearance) she is back and ready to drag you and your group into the very stories that inspired classic horror films. Step into the Universal Backlot as the movie sets are turned into the twisted realms of Pinhead, Samara, Norman and Mother Bates, all under the Storyteller’s watchful eye. This may be your final chapter in the worst way yet.

Would she be completely redesigned looks/costume-wise or would her design be based off Orlando's Storyteller but with her "civilian" name changed (like how they did The Director in 2006?)

Would she be completely redesigned looks/costume-wise or would her design be based off Orlando's Storyteller but with her "civilian" name changed (like how they did The Director in 2006?)

The latter option, though the design would specifically be based on how she looked in the 2005 commercial by Amanda Evans, whereas the park version wore a simple black dress. Maybe even use the same actress for the advertising, part of which include little videos of the Storyteller reading creepy stories which would actually be clues to the houses/movies that would be included in the event.




Part of the backstory for Baligha Ballade is that she was practicing dark magic to help gain more vision for her stories, eventually making them come to life. And maybe the terror tram video shows that the guy in the bed was one of the publishers who banned her books.

(The next part is completely unrelated to the 2010 Hollywood idea, I just can’t double post)

Heres an “work in progress” lineup for the event set in the “World of Fear” concept. It’s meant to be kinda similar to the actual 2008 event in Hollywood but with all the characters being major players instead of a single Icon running the show. This would probably be set in any of the years from 2008-2010. No way is any of these the final products with the one with * probably going to be canned.

here’s also a fake press release

TERROR RETURNS TO (THIS UNIVERSAL PARK) FOR IT’S NEW PRESENTATION OF “HALLOWEEN HORROR NIGHTS”

SLASHER VILLAINS FREDDY KRUEGER AND CHUCKY THE KILLER DOLL AS WELL AS THE URBAN LEGEND OF BLOODY MARY HELM THIS YEAR’S FRIGHTFEST

Remember the toys you used to play with, the ones you believed were alive? Remember the boogeyman hiding under the bed, the closet, and those open doors? Remember sitting in a campfire, listening to dark tales of folklore, the urban legends spoken in your hometown?

Those memories and more come back to life for this year’s Halloween Horror Nights only at (This Universal park). This event will be like a twisted trip down memory lane as all the mazes, zones, and shows will bring you in a face-to-face encounter with those things that went bump in the night; now made reality.

But there’s so much more. Previously, you experienced the terror of A Nightmare on Elm Street and Child’s Play either on the big screen or at the safe confines of a TV set. You only heard of the more bloodiest of evil legends told by many across generations. But this is reality. The slasher villains of film Freddy Krueger and Chucky the Killer Doll join forces with the urban legend of Bloody Mary- here reimagined as a former psychiatrist named Dr. Mary Agana- to bring an unforeseen level of intensity and horror this year as they unleash the biggest and goriest Halloween party this side of (whatever country this is). You will have the dodge these 3 icons of horror as they watch your every move the moment you step through the gates and into Halloween Horror Nights.

A dual house shall serve as two different sides into Bloody Mary’s world of reflections; one side taking you back to the psychiatric facility where you are prey to her psychological tactics, the other plunging you full on into the mirror realm where the dead eyed Mary will haunt you in every corner and at every reflection.

The world of Child’s Play will be presented in a brand new way as Chucky and his bride Tiffany make way in a vacation home in (country). They are not keen on you intruding in their abode and will don everything to keep you in- as a corpse (or maybe their new bodies).

The abandoned power plant where Freddy Krueger took his victims will be the setting of the new Nightmare on Elm Street maze. The red and green sweater wearing sadist looks at your every move as you make your way through the tight corners where his victims still cry for help.

Other houses and zones such as a Wonderland gone wrong or a Toy Store unleashing killer robots and etc. will inflate the theme of childhood nightmares.

The terror of Freddy, Chucky, and Bloody Mary extends to the all new Hayride of Terror, where they mutate the barren landscapes into scenes of horror accompanied by their minions.

Face your fears and buy a ticket for Halloween Horror Nights. The monsters under the bed won’t wait that long.
