Halloween Horror Nights Panel at Midsummer Scream

Last weekend at Midsummer Scream, John Murdy rolled out surprise after surprise at the yearly Halloween Horror Nights panel. Typically this panel is reserved for a deep dive into an already announced house, or maybe a house announcement. 

What we got this year was a new house announcement, a tease for something we think is a house, and also a special guest where they gave a deep dive into an already announced house. And this was all within an hour. 

Lots to get to, so let's dive in. You can also replay our live-stream of the panel below.

Before the panel they added a second seat, so we knew that John would have a guest, but who would that guest actually be?
Picture
Right off the bat, John started with his catch phrase (actually Shakespeare) when he has an announcement to make.
Picture
And the announcement did not disappoint!
Picture
This house will be near Curious George, where Haunting of Hill House was last year.
Picture
John then did a deep dive into the characters that will be in the house
Picture
As you proceed through the house, the scarecrows take on different forms
Picture
Picture
And of course the KingCrow
Picture
This Full Cast artwork really needs to be a shirt or poster

Picture
Next, John teased something original, kind of an old-school Hollywood legend
Picture
We think this is a house where The Walking Dead was, look at the "hotel", it looks very familiar
Picture
Some more backstory for whatever this is (seems like a lot of story if it's just a scare zone)
Picture
I'm sure there are some clues in these articles
Picture
Picture
Picture
And a look at some characters. We are very excited for whatever this is.

Picture
And lastly, John started talking a bit about Universal Monsters, so it was very obvious who the special guest would be. And yep, it was Slash!
Picture
Not only did they do a deep dive into the new Universal Monsters house, but also the history of Slash's involvement with Halloween Horror Nights!
Picture
Picture
I of course had to sneak a pic with John and Slash!
Picture
Picture
The amount of applause this maze (it was still a maze last year) got when they started talking about it I think surprised John a bit. It's so beloved.
Picture
And then we got a deep dive into the new Monsters house!
Picture
Let's dive into Universal Monsters Legends Collide! There are spoilers ahead.
Picture
The three stars of our house!
Picture
The inspiration for the new house
Picture
Red Moon for Dracula, Harvest Moon for The Mummy and Full Moon for The Wolfman.
Picture
Some awesome Egyptian stuff in the house as well
Picture
It was also revealed that the house at HHN Orlando is kind of "part one" of this house, and the HHN Hollywood house is "part two". Love this collaboration between events!
Picture
There are A LOT of Easter Egg's in the house, so we'll have to go in a lot. Bummer. =)
Picture

Picture
Props from the 1999 Mummy films!!!

As you can see, lots of great stuff was revealed, and we can't wait to see these 3 things at HHN Hollywood in just over a month! Are you ready for HHN? Which of these 3 are you most excited about?
