If you've followed along with us for any time, at all, you know there is no season we enjoy more than Halloween! On September 15, the season will be officially engaged, as Halloween Horror Nights (HHN) 2017 begins at Universal Studios Hollywood. While we've been peeking through cracks of fences for months, at all the theme parks we visit, we were able to get much more than a glimpse, on August 22, when we went behind the scenes with John Murdy, HHN Creative Director. While it's been difficult to not share pictures or videos until now, we're all that much more excited to share this first look at two mazes from this year's killer line-up.
First up on our tour, we journeyed to the lower lot, where we met up with Murdy and the rest of the visiting media, in the Jurassic Park queue. At the time of the tour, this house had not been revealed. With an extra bit of excitement in the air, we were asked if we had any ideas as to which property would be featured at that site. Unhesitatingly, Johanna Atilano, of Theme Park Adventure, responded, "Insidious?" This was met with a nod of approval and thus began our introduction to the story of this "living trailer" for Insidious: The Last Key. Take a look here at this sneak-peek gallery of the house and listen to John Murdy discussing this chapter in the franchise:

From the forward-look into the upcoming Insidious film, we took a trip back in time, to a classic Kubrick piece. Adjacent to Revenge of the Mummy℠ – The Ride, the HHN team is working on bringing the world of The Shining to physical form, this Halloween season. With attention to detail that's second to none, The Shining is still an ambitious intellectual property to take on and is one that promises to be a huge fan favorite.
There's so much about HHN's plans for The Shining that excites us, but we won't spoil it here. That said, fans know the consistent commitment to high quality that HHN displays each year and can imagine how the film comes to life. To give an assist in the visualization exercise, we will let John Murdy provide some context and give you a quick look at some pieces of the house.

Hopefully you enjoyed this tiny taste of what HHN has planned for this season. With Friday night, September 15, 2017, being opening night, none of us will have to wait long for a full serving of, what promises to be, an iconic year at Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights. Follow along with us, this Haunt season, as we take on HHN and many more. We had over 50 Halloween stops in 2016 and we don't plan to slow down in 2017. See you in line...
