With Universal Orlando making their final announcements for their Halloween Horror Nights, it was only natural that their Hollywood counterpart would be doing the same shortly after. Universal Hollywood have announced tonight that Michael Myers will be returning to stalk park guests this year as well as announcing Terror Tram: The Ultimate Purge & a fully immersive The Walking Dead experience.
Evil has returned. Michael Myers has escaped, and he’s on his way back to Haddonfield spreading blood and mayhem in his wake. Your only hope is Dr. Loomis – Myers’ fire-scarred former psychiatrist. But will he get there before it’s too late? It’s clear that this time, Michael Myers is unstoppable.
“Guests will be stalked at every turn in the “Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers” maze, based on the classic slasher from Trancas International Films. With his haunting white mask and signature steel knife, the relentless Myers is ready to resume his killing spree and terrorise the people of Haddonfield as he hunts for his niece Jamie to finally seek his revenge."
Also announced today is the return of Universal Hollywood's Terror Tram, which will take guests at this years event into the dark world of The Purge.
The Terror Tram is back. Unfortunately for you, some of the most iconic Purgers from each of the terrifying Purge films have taken over and are running rampant. It’s every man and woman for themselves as masked and costumed marauders are out to ambush anyone outside during Purge hours. So climb aboard the Terror Tram at your own risk. Because once you get off the tram it’s no rules. No laws. No escape.
“Based on the successful Universal Pictures and Blumhouse Productions’ film franchise, “Terror Tram: The Ultimate Purge” takes guests on a nightmarish journey into the world of The Purge as they try to survive the night along the world-famous Universal backlot. The annual tradition of The Purge is a one-night event when all crime is legal; however, as the latest film The Forever Purge depicts, members of an underground movement believe that The Purge should be every day – and plan to overtake America through a relentless campaign of mayhem and massacre.
The Walking Dead is set to make a comeback at the annual Halloween event in Hollywood as well. With the show drawing to a close with its final season, it's a great addition to this years Halloween Horror Nights.
