The press kit came in two deliveries. Yesterday morning, I got a package that included an ornate locked metal box, along with a letter:
You're about to face someone you've never met, but long feared... A key will arrive tomorrow. You'll meet then.
Of course, without the key, you can't open the box (well, unless you snap the rather thin chain - but I played along), so you have to wait until the next day to see what's inside.
And this morning arrived the FedEx envelope with the key.
A strategically placed lipbrush triggered an eerie tune when I opened the jewelry box, which contained a shattered mirror, upon which was scrawled "Welcome to my World." (Bloody Mary's I presume?)
Also in the box were a dried rose and four pictures, each with a message in crayon scribbled on back:
In keeping with such teaser packages, there was no other information about the event. But we can hook you up with that on our Halloween Horror Nights page, or discussion thread.

It seems to have an American Horror theme based upon the website with the Wicked Witch of the West, Lizzie Borden, Bloody Mary, and American Gothic. Good theme, in my opinion, because some of these stories are pure American.
I grew up on Knott's Scary Farm which I've always considered to be the ultimate haunted theme park - but maybe Universal is going to give Knott's a run for their money.
And that teaser package is just awesome. Love it!!!
