Hollywood, California and Orlando, Florida offer hauntings, scare zones and live shows to celebrate Halloween.  They do this not just on one day, October 31st, but for several scary spine-chilling days.

Each park, at Universal Studios, has its own version of scare tactics, horror films and calendar dates.  Hollywood's Park has Halloween, Saw and My Bloody Valentine including a Terror Tram.

Orlando's dates are September 25 - October 31.  It's been said that the haunted houses are excellent and the scare zones realistic!  Check Hollywood's link for its specific dates and scare zones offered.

The most horrorful movies come to life.  The Wolfman, Chucky, Saw and Fangoria are there to eat, beat, no, I mean greet, every single one of you.

Those movies are the most unforgettable horror flics that have made us scream.  At the same time they brought hours of pulse-pounding fear and heart-stopping terror.

If that wasn't enough, now the same bone-chilling nightmares can be played out again. Such terrifying scenes, incredible creatures and blood-curdling moments have now been ripped from the silver screen and brought to life at Halloween Horror Nights.

On select nights, that began September 25th and will be running to the dead end of October, such nightmares will be at the Universal Studios Florida theme park.  It has been transformed into a nightmare of haunted houses, horrorfying live shows, and the spookiest of scare zones.  Across the studio's darkened streets will march an army of monsters, mutants and spine-chilling goblins.

From survivors it has been said,

This is the greatest exhibition of pure terror ever unleashed anywhere, and one can experience it all, LIVE, only at Universal's Halloween Horror Nights."

Due to the creepy elements throughout these shows, films and rides one might forget one of the most important criteria necessary in making such an event so successful.  That is the talented actors who portray such monsters, villains and mutants, not only in the films but at the parks themselves.  Enjoy!
