Iconic Female Monsters Haunt New House at Universal Halloween Horror Nights 2024
Halloween Horror Nights just announced a new house for 2024 that centers on an all-female lineup of classic Universal Monsters, coming to both Universal Studios Orlando and Hollywood theme parks. Read on for today’s official press release.
Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights debuts the all-original haunted house, “Universal Monsters: Eternal Bloodlines,” headlined by an all-female assemblage of classic Universal Monsters – The Bride of Frankenstein, Dracula’s Daughter, She-Wolf of London, and the undead, mummified Egyptian princess Anck-Su-Namun.
The “Universal Monsters: Eternal Bloodlines” haunted houses will introduce guests to an all-new terrifying storyline, as they find themselves in the center of the ultimate battle between two unexpected alliances of classic female Universal Monsters. Fans will encounter Saskia Van Helsing, a new fearless huntress and daughter of revered Abraham Van Helsing – who killed Count Dracula by driving a stake through his heart and destroying his reign of terror. Saskia now faces Dracula’s daughter, Countess Marya, who arose from the dead to seek revenge for her father and destroy the Van Helsing bloodline. With a mission to kill, Dracula’s daughter, from 1936’s Dracula’s Daughter, forms a deadly alliance with the She-Wolf, inspired by the 1946 film She-Wolf of London, and Anck-Su-Namun, from the 1932 film The Mummy – only to be intercepted by Saskia and an unlikely ally, The Bride of Frankenstein. The terrifying adventure will take guests on a journey between the hunted and the hunters in a life and death battle with only one bloodline left to survive.
As the movie studio that invented the horror film genre, this haunted house at Universal Studios Hollywood will have even more relevance as it will reside within legendary Sound Stage 12 on the studio back lot, the original filming location for such Universal horror movies as Dracula (1931), Frankenstein (1931), and The Bride of Frankenstein (1935), among others revered classic and contemporary films.
The return of the Universal Classic Monsters haunted house also reunites GRAMMY® Award-winning musician Slash with Universal Studios Hollywood in a collaboration that spans six seasons of Halloween Horror Nights. Once again, Slash will compose an original score for this all-new haunted house, and the score will be featured along with his past original compositions on a limited-edition vinyl album that will be sold at Universal Studios Hollywood throughout the run of the event.
Halloween Horror Nights 2024 at Universal Orlando Resort kicks off on August 30 and at Universal Studios Hollywood on Sept. 5, and will run select nights through November 3 at both parks.
Tickets are on sale now for Orlando here and for Hollywood here.
