Halloween Horror Nights XXI

I was given the amazing opportunity of visiting Universal Orlando's Halloween Horror Nights for my eighteenth birthday. My parents and I were joined by longtime friend and coworker Paul, who stayed with us the four days we spent down in Orlando. Within this time period, we visited the event every night and also took a day at Disney. Below is only the first night in Florida, showcasing our time inside the park and enjoying the attractions.

There were eight haunted houses, including one based off "The Thing" movie

There were also six scare-zones, including "Acid Assault", which featured Universal's infamous rat lady.

Of course, rides were also open, including Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rock-It

The Forsaken was another haunted house. The facade was boring, but the house itself was pretty impressive - more on that soon.

Nevermore: The Madness of the Poe was one of the most-anticipated houses of the event.

Another house was H.R. Bloodengutz: Holidays of Horror.

Pictures from the next day soon, including behind-the-scenes tours of several haunted houses and shots from the parks.
