Universal Celebrating 30 Years of Halloween Horror Nights With Online and In-Park Tribute Shop
30 Years. 30 Fears.
Halloween Horror Nights may have been cancelled this year, but that doesn’t mean Universal Studios isn’t celebrating the event’s 30th anniversary in style this Halloween season.
Announced today, “Universal Orlando has opened the Halloween Horror Nights Tribute Store, a retail location dedicated to the legacy of the world’s premier Halloween event. Although this year’s event is cancelled, the Tribute store gives guests the opportunity to take home specialty, retro-themed merchandise inspired by Halloween Horror Nights history.”
“Located in the New York area of Universal Studios Florida and now open daily during regular theme park hours, the immersive store celebrates legendary themes and characters from Halloween Horror Nights’ past and features a collection of “throwback” merchandise and more – from t-shirts and socks to posters, face coverings and more – that pays homage to some of the iconic characters and experiences that have haunted guests.”
The HHN Tribute Store can also be browsed online from the comfort of your own home, and it’s packed with t-shirts, socks, pins and posters that celebrate the event’s history.
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
