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. Written by Gregg Condon  Before the panel they added a second seat, so we knew that John would have a guest, but who would that guest actually be?  Right off the bat, John started with his catch phrase (actually Shakespeare) when he has an announcement to make.  And the announcement did not disappoint!  This house will be near Curious George, where Haunting of Hill House was last year.  John then did a deep dive into the characters that will be in the house  As you proceed through the house, the scarecrows take on different forms   And of course the KingCrow  This Full Cast artwork really needs to be a shirt or poster  Next, John teased something original, kind of an old-school Hollywood legend  We think this is a house where The Walking Dead was, look at the "hotel", it looks very familiar  Some more backstory for whatever this is (seems like a lot of story if it's just a scare zone)  I'm sure there are some clues in these articles    And a look at some characters. We are very excited for whatever this is.  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!  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!   I of course had to sneak a pic with John and Slash!   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.  And then we got a deep dive into the new Monsters house!  Let's dive into Universal Monsters Legends Collide! There are spoilers ahead.  The three stars of our house!  The inspiration for the new house  Red Moon for Dracula, Harvest Moon for The Mummy and Full Moon for The Wolfman.  Some awesome Egyptian stuff in the house as well  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!  There are A LOT of Easter Egg's in the house, so we'll have to go in a lot. Bummer. =)    Props from the 1999 Mummy films!!!   An overhead view of one of the rooms in the house       Another room overhead   Dracula's Brides from Bride of Frankenstein lives will be making a return to the house!      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?
