While Halloween Horror Nights fans on the East Coast have been getting haunted house announcements for a month or so now, I am excited to announce that we west coast Horror Nights fans have finally received our first haunted house announcement for 2024. On Thursday, Halloween Horror Nights Announced a new house inspired by the post-apocalyptic world of Paramount Pictures’ blockbuster movies, “A Quiet Place” and “A Quiet Place Part II.” The terror of the excruciating silence is set to begin Friday, August 30 at Universal Orlando Resort, and Thursday, September 5 at Universal Studios Hollywood.
Directed by John Krasinski and critically acclaimed for its suspenseful yet mostly silent storytelling, “A Quiet Place” and “A Quiet Place Part II” follow the Abbott family as they try to survive the aftermath of sightless creatures with a sharp sense of hearing that draws them to prey on anything that makes the slightest noise.
Mirroring the silence in the films, the haunted houses will embrace unique sound design, special effects and the adept performances of the scareactors to convey the ominous sense of dread depicted in the films. Consequential to the storyline, Halloween Horror Nights will incorporate the use of American Sign Language (ASL) for the first time ever within the “A Quiet Place” haunted houses to capture the authenticity of the films.
Fans will relive the tension that will come to life in the iconic scenes from the first two films, including traveling through the farmhouse that serves as the Abbott family’s shelter and stepping into the root cellar where Evelyn Abbott escapes to give birth as one of the creatures closes in. The snarls of the larger-than-life predators will follow guests at every spine-chilling turn, and guests must remember: if they hear you, they will hunt you.
Horror fans and movie buffs can now plan their visit to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood, as all tickets are available for purchase. Beginning Thursday, September 5, and running select nights through Sunday, November 3, guests will encounter eight all-new haunted houses, an onslaught of sinister scare zones, and the iconic Terror Tram.
