 Welcome to an all new update from Universal Studios Hollywood. In this update we've got a lot of HHN and Fast and Furious for you. Also included is some Mega Movie Summer fun and a look at some killer new merchandise that is now available!
 I think I've seen these before, but love them.  I think this is a robe? For those casual scary movie nights at home? =)  Absolutely LOVE this. Some of the same merchandise was unveiled for the HHN Vegas site today as well.
 For those who are into this ...
 Was VERY close to getting this one  Hanging out with Marty and Einstein. Einstein looks thrilled to see me.  Super excited for Monstruos 3.0  Oh, you want to see some Fast and Furious? Here you go!  Supports for the Sound Walls. Sound Tunnels? Sound Abatement? Sound Blockers?  The pull-through has made it past the mid-course brake  Despite the covering on it, this is definitely the Dodge Charger ride vehicle   The biggest thing they still have to do is the covering for this section over the Starway  And this section at the bottom of the hill    The sound walls are HUGE. I don't think they'll go any higher than this though.   Looks like they are testing designs for the outside of the wall. I think movie posters could be cool. Or a blue screen.  The hillside project looks to be nearing completion. They did this SUPER quick.  This will provide some much needed extra queue space for the Jason house, and is rumored to become a permanent structure for future Halloween Horror Nights/Universal FanFest Nights events. Can't imagine they'll have time to get it done for this years HHN.  Can't wait to get pics/video of Fast and Furious from this spot   We don't usually like to speculate on what's coming to HHN, but this is pretty obvious at this point. Although, we don't know what Blumhouse properties are included.   I absolutely love that they keep updating the Hollywood sign. Hope it continues.  More Terror Tram construction  Looks like they might be setting up another RIP Tour exclusive room like they had last year.  NOPE was closed, not sure if for HHN or for filming.  Judging from all the activity going on in Falls Lake, I'm guessing filming. Although it'd be pretty cool to have this spot in use for HHN. =)  Out in CityWalk, the cookie place is still rumored to be opening before HHN  Not sure when Slice House is opening. However if you're looking for a great pizza, you can't go wrong with Vivo just down the road. We ate here before seeing Superman in IMAX the night we shot this update.  Johnny Rockets is now closed. I remember seeing signs that it was going to be a Korean BBQ place or something, but those are gone.  I don't think I ever ate at the Johnny Rockets.  The NBA Store is finally starting to get some work done on the outside.  Raising Cane's is progressing as well. This will definitely be a popular location once it opens.  And lastly, work is continuing on the new security area's here and outside of Jurassic Parking. Still wondering how they're going to do that. Related Videos

Welcome to Halloween Horror Nights Hollywood  We'll be your hosts for the next 2 months of spooky fun! We hope you enjoy the ride! Before we head in, let's check out some of this years Merchandise. Even Bubba Gump is getting in on Halloween this year.
 Production Central HHN is back and has all of your Horror Nights Merch!
 We started our very hot run-through of houses on the lower lot.  The Weeknd is back and we absolutely loved this house. Despite not being huge fans of The Weeknd we enjoyed the first house in 2022, so we did dive into his music a bit after that. I think we both enjoyed Nightmare Trilogy even more than the previous house. I'll be honest, Texas Chainsaw Massacre is my least favorite horror franchise. And it's not even close. That being said, other than Titans of Terror this is my favorite of the TX Chainsaw houses. Lots of new stuff in this one and not just repeats of previous houses. It really does work as a multiverse thing.  We weren't quite sure what to expect from this house having never done Dead Exposure in Orlando. But we definitely enjoyed it. Just a fun Zombie house and the Cold Storage room was very welcome during our record heat wave.  We absolutely love the Unviersal Monsters houses. The characters are so rich in film and studio history. And this may be our favorite of the Universal Monster houses they've done. The Bride was so fantastic in 2022 and it's great to see her back in a house. Some amazing sets in this one and we hope they continue to do these houses every year. Would LOVE to see a 3D Creature from the Black Lagoon house or a completely black and white house at some point.  Another horror franchise we really aren't 'that' into but this house really delivered. It's probably our favorite of any of the Insidious houses they've done and tells a really great story.  The first Ghostbusters house was one of our absolute favorite houses of 2019, so we were very excited about it's return this year. Despite not being huge fans of Frozen Empire (the movie) this house really delivered. Not only some great moments from the new film, but quite a few Easter Eggs throughout the house. We can't wait to find more as we visit HHN more this season. In addition, apparently the house was supposed to be "frozen" but they had some issues with the AC last weekend. Hopefully they'll get that fixed as it would add so much to the house.  Easily one of our most anticipated houses of this years event and it completely delivered. I was glad the party behind us kept quiet so we could experience the true purpose of this house. Very different than anything they've ever tried before, and it worked. I had heard some people complain that it seemed short, but we didn't get that impression at all. I will add, the addition of the actors in the house doing ASL and being so committed to doing so really added to the house. And it's just another step in HHN becoming more inclusive and accessible to everybody. And that's to be applauded for the entire team and the talent. Going to be completely transparent here. Monstruos was our last house of the night, and we were extremely hot and tired by the time we got here. That being said, the house last year was one of our favorites and this years house is just as fantastic. We cannot wait to get more walk-throughs of this house. Two of my favorite pics we got from opening night are from this house. Can you guess which ones?  Many years the Terror Tram is kind of a mixed bag. While it's always fun to walk through the Bates Motel and War of the Worlds sets, it can often times seem like the same thing. We're happy to say this years Terror Tram, like last year, really delivers some fantastic fun and great scenes. Be warned that the NOPE sets are not part of this years Terror Tram unless you are part of an RIP Tour.  Absolutely love that they HHN'ified the Hollywood Sign for Horror Nights.  As we all know it was brutally hot during opening weekend, so admittedly we did not spend as much time in the scare zones as we normally would for opening night. When we head back with our Frequent Fear passes we will make Scare Zones and shows a priority. So look for more updates soon. In the meantime, here are a few scarezone pics!   Thank you again to Universal Studios Hollywood for having us out for opening night! You can find all of the information for this years event here, and be sure to check out our updated Survival Guide so you can have the best night at HHN 2024! Related Videos
