SFX STOPS BY THE CREEL HOUSE AT HALLOWEEN HORROR NIGHTS
RETURN TO HAWKINS AT Halloween Horror Nights, as Stranger Things gets the haunted house treatment once more for America’s number one spooky event.
As usual, the 10 houses and five scare zones at Universal Orlando are more than just your average fright fare; this is the closest you’ll get to walking through screen-accurate film sets, complete with actors, sounds and even smells… SFX took a trip behind the scenes in the Upside Down.
• The house is based on season four of Stranger Things – specifically, Vecna’s curse. So no trips to Russia, but expect some surprise guests…
• There are nine scenes in total throughout the house, including visits to the Creel House, the Upside Down (remember to look all around you!), Eddie’s trailer and Hawkins National Laboratory. These take guests from around the mid-point of the season through to the finale.
• Fans see the first time One kills, and also Eleven’s attack on One in the Rainbow Room, where she blasts through his chest. They’ll also see Max being cursed.
• “Running Up That Hill” by Kate Bush plays at least twice during the experience, but you’ll have to listen carefully to catch it! Somewhat less obviously, “Master Of Puppets” by Metallica is also present.
• The characters look almost identical to their on-screen counterparts – something that the costume character designers at Universal work closely on with Netflix.
• The Vecna costumes are screen-accurate because make-up designers
