Universal City, California, August 27, 2013—To showcase the black magic that brings the most gruesome monsters imaginable to life during “Halloween Horror Nights” at Universal Studios Hollywood, extreme horror make-up artist Larry Bones and his innovative team joined John Murdy, “Halloween Horror Nights’” Creative Director, for a sneak peek of the most bone-chilling effects planned for this year’s event. “Halloween Horror Nights” begins on Friday, September 20, and continues on 21 select nights through November 2, 2013.
As skilled professionals created the illusions of severed heads, oozing wounds and slashed throats, an additional team of experts showcased other effects employed to craft the many scare-actors featured throughout “Halloween Horror Nights.” Costume designers were on hand to distress and customize wardrobe, wig makers teased and twisted locks, and a graphic artist adeptly illustrated original “Halloween Horror Nights” concept art.
Tickets to this year’s event are now on sale and available for purchase at www.UniversalStudiosHollywood.com/hhn, including a Front of Line ticket option that enables guests to enjoy priority access at each maze and theme park attraction, as well as an all-new VIP Experience ticket offering guests an enhanced guided tour of “Halloween Horror Nights.” Advance purchase is recommended as event nights will sell out.
