HHN 17: Carnival of CarnageMore mayhem.
From Erik Yates
Since its late July, and the first thread was already filled......here's a second one to discuss Halloween Horror Nights 17.Posted July 30, 2007 at 10:34 PM We know there will be a house based on John Carpenters the Thing. They will use prostetics to help generate scares. We also know that Dead Silence will most likely be a house. We have a general idea that the theme is "Carnival of Carnage" and that Jack is going to be the main Icon with Freddy Jason and Leatherface having their own houses, and will also serve as Icons. They are sideshows in the freak circus. We also know that Bill and Ted will return. We have an idea that the Rocky Horror Picture Show will be in the Beetlejuice arena, and BJ will not be part of hhn. Complete speculative list of houses, as nothing is official at this time: Nightmare on Elmstreet (semi-confirmed) Friday the 13th (semi-confirmed) Texas Chainsaw Masacre (semi-confirmed) The THING (confirmed) Dead Silence (Semi Confirmed) Black Christmas (rumor) Castle Vampyre (rumor) Phsycoscarepy (rumor) Bill and Ted (confirmed) Rocky Horror Picture Show (rumor) Two more shows....one an Icon type circus show and the other a midnight syndicate collaboration?(rumor rumor rumor) Halloweenhorrornights.com for more updates

If you click on the JS icon it takes you to a map:Posted August 3, 2007 at 1:40 PM http://halloweenhorrornights.com/orlando/js.html The answers to all the riddles will be found there, I suspect. There has also been an update to the HHN page, this time we see that Dead Silence (way to nail it Gareth) is going to be a house.
From marcus beuro
what is the code for the tent?Posted August 3, 2007 at 2:19 PM
From Erik Yates
You are going to have to figure it out, the answer is on the map, the name of that person in the picture is in the movie..I suggest research.Posted August 3, 2007 at 3:25 PM
From Jake Countiss
The map looks like the next stop is Leatherfaces' folder. I bet that code is easy to find.Posted August 8, 2007 at 4:03 PM
From marcus beuro
what is the code for the clown tentPosted August 8, 2007 at 5:16 PM

From hulk RC3
what was the most houses they have ever had in one year?Posted August 9, 2007 at 6:29 AM
From Jake Countiss
The Map has been updated with new things for Leatherface. Their is also a piece of paper with a code on it but the Carnival of Carnage page is not working on my computer so I don't know if the code is right.Posted August 9, 2007 at 10:18 AM
From Erik Yates
The leatherface thing is an anagram of some sort. The code, dont know what that is. There is nothing new that is clickable on the carnival of carnage page.Posted August 9, 2007 at 1:53 PM And the most houses is 8, though two of those were the same house...normally its 7...this year though, there is nothing official.
From hulk RC3
what do you mean by the same house?Posted August 9, 2007 at 2:06 PM
From Erik Yates
I mean there were seven seperate houses. They built a second version of one house for the real busy nights. I believe it was hhn 15 and the house was Where Evil Hides.Posted August 10, 2007 at 1:27 PM
From Jake Countiss
Why is the Carnival of Carnage page not working?Posted August 13, 2007 at 10:51 AM
From Erik Yates
Seems to be working to me....though there has not been a good update in almost a week.Posted August 13, 2007 at 1:58 PM
From Erik Yates
We have an update. And if you have had problems with the past puzzles....just wait for this one.Posted August 14, 2007 at 11:56 AM Meat is meat, bone is bone. Flip Pump Choke Rip Throttle Kill
From steve lee
Sounds like the varieties of Waffle House hashbrownsPosted August 14, 2007 at 2:00 PM
From andrew itkoff
What is Meat is Meat Bone is Bone. I've tried the combo of flip pump choke rip throttle kill and it doesn't work. It looks like you need more steps to solve the puzzle. The chain at the bottom lights up, and it looks like you need about 9 steps?Posted August 16, 2007 at 2:09 PM
From Mike M
the code for the chainsaw is as followed :Flip the on switch (botton switch), pump twice, choke, pull cord three times, hit the throttle (top switch), click KILL. Enjoy!!!Posted August 16, 2007 at 3:46 PM

Anyone seen the coke can to get the florida discount code? I've been looking all over for them. I already got my fast pass for oct 28,2007. Is there anyone going that weekend?Posted August 17, 2007 at 10:11 AM
From Erik Yates
We have an update. This time the purple burlesque tent is open, and the answer is easy...its on the map page. Posted August 17, 2007 at 3:15 PM
From Paul Jeffs
So to recap -Posted August 21, 2007 at 7:13 AM a Blade-like Vampire rave house (The Burlesque tent on the Carnival screen and the Greenwich stop on the map) A "Dead Silence" house (the Theatre tent and the Raven's Fair stop) A "Thing" house (the What Is It Truck and the Antarctica stop) A "Texas Chainsaw" house (the Blair Meats truck and the Travis County stop) A Bill n Ted show ("See The Time Machine" banner at the Carnival and the San Dimas stop) A Freakshow feat "The Enigma" (The tattooed man banner and the Gibsonton stop) Something to do with Friday the 13th (the Blairstown stop) That leaves details for "Nightmare On Elm Street" and also Coney Island stop (could this be connected to the Carnival FunHouse? And is it the rumoured 3-D Funhouse that the colour disc would seem to support?) "Rocky Horror" must be the Transylvania part of the map.
From Erik Yates
This is what I know to be a guess:Posted August 21, 2007 at 11:52 AM "What is it"-The Thing "Theater" tent-Dead Silence "Blair Meats"-TCM "Burlesque" Castle Vampyre 2(transylvania) "Fun House"3d House Everything else is pure conecture

From Erik Yates
We have a new update...this time, you just kind of have to be lucky. Posted August 29, 2007 at 2:02 PM Also, tomorrow, a huge announcement from Universal about HHN 17.
From Erik Yates
The big announcement:Posted August 30, 2007 at 8:50 AM http://media.universalorlando.com/halloween/video/jackisback.wmv Along with: [I]ORLANDO, Fla. (August 30, 2007) – The cool October winds send a shiver down the spine. Jack, Clown Prince of Halloween, grins maniacally from the center of a giant Ferris wheel, beckoning you into his Carnival of Carnage – home to this year’s Halloween Horror Nights event. Once inside, you realize all is not right: curiosity becomes panic becomes fear becomes physical and psychological terror. This year, Halloween Horror Nights 17 transforms into the most extreme, fear-filled event in its history with “Carnival of Carnage.” With its leading cast of modern day horror icons, guests will come face-to-face with New Line Cinema’s Freddy Krueger, Jason and Leatherface for the first time ever – and they will find the fear so real they will wish it were just a movie. The Carnival of Carnage is so unprecedented that Universal Orlando is creating more haunted houses, more Halloween-themed shows -- and adding more event nights -- than ever before. And, of course, every carnival needs a clown. And when it comes to clowns, there is only one that is maniacal and twisted enough to be Ringmaster for the Carnival of Carnage. That would be Jack. “This year, they’ve given me the show,” said Jack. “Fools! Wait ‘till you see what I’ve brought you! I’ll take you places you never knew you could go! They say show business is in the blood – but is it my blood or your’s?” Halloween Horror Nights runs 23 nights this year and features eight all-new haunted houses – three of which are created around New Line’s Freddy Krueger, Jason and Leatherface. There will also be four new shows – more than ever before – including a show dedicated to Jack along with an even more excellent and irreverent version of “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Halloween Adventure.” “Our goal this year has been to set a new standard for horror – to create an event that will haunt you forever,” said Jim Timon, senior vice president of entertainment for Universal Orlando Resort. “We will put you in the same environment as world-class horror icons, we will exploit every weakness we can find – and we will not let you go until we’re done with you.” EIGHT HAUNTED HOUSES A Nightmare on Elm Street: Dreamwalkers – Stepping through the door of 1428 Elm Street, this suburban residence will bring guests face-to-face with the nightmare man himself, Freddy Krueger. Trapped in a walking dream state, guests will join Freddy’s victims as they relive their most vicious nightmares. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: Flesh Wounds – Guests find themselves trapped inside the Hewitt family home. Terror awaits them at every corner as they realize they are hunted by chainsaw- wielding maniac Leatherface, and his family of freaks. Friday the 13th: Camp Blood – Visitors take a tour of the abandoned remains of Camp Crystal Lake – the slay grounds of Jason Voorhees. There has not been an incident here for years, and Jason has seemingly disappeared. However, under the bright moon there seems to be something moving in the woods... The Thing: Assimilation – This house celebrates the 25th Anniversary of John Carpenter’s horror/sci-fi classic with a sequel set 25 years after the incident at Outpost 31. Guests enter Outpost 3113, a research hub housing the government’s most classified projects. When a containment unit containing bio-hazardous evidence from Outpost 31 unexpectedly opens, someThing is let loose. Dead Silence: The Curse of Mary Shaw – Based on the Universal horror film, the theatre space of the vengeful Mary Shaw is brought to life. The tortured ghost of the evil ventriloquist searches for fresh victims to create the perfect doll while an army of sinister puppets terrify guests. Psychoscareapy: Home for the Holidays – Visions of sugarplums turn into horrific holiday nightmares for citizens living in Shadybrook Estates when a transport bus containing the most crazed residents of the now infamous local hospital overturns near their beloved neighborhood. Clawing their way out of the twisted wreckage, these crazed overachievers have come home for the holidays and their victims will hopefully be given the greatest gift of all…a quick death. Vampyr: Blood Bath – In the dead of night, creatures of the netherworld gather at Club Vampyr. Located inside an abandoned industrial building, Club Vampyr has everything one would need to paint the town red, blood red, that is. Jack’s Funhouse in Clown-O-Vision – Guests enter this Jack’d up funhouse that throws them laughing and screaming into an oversaturated world of color that appears to leap out at them. Winding twists and turns lead visitors on a seemingly unending maze featuring more crazed clowns than they could ever imagine. And before it’s all said and done…guests will know Jack! SHOWS INCLUDE: Jack’s Carnival Of Carnage – Join the clown master of the macabre and his assistants, Tiny and Chance, as they bring guests a terror-filled show. Hapless “contestants” take a chance and pick a card… Will they have the guts to survive Jack’s torturous, ultra-gory carnival games? Freak Show – Jack’s Carnival of Carnage just wouldn’t be complete without a freak show. Guests will witness the gut-wrenching entertainment of the Enigma – a tattooed performer whose body is a canvas of torture. The most amazing and ghastly national acts will come together with one goal – to make guests squirm with excitement and repulsion. Bill & Ted’s Excellent Halloween Adventure – Bill S Preston Esq and Ted Theodore Logan return with an especially excellent Halloween adventure featuring a who’s who of notorious celebrity guest stars. Halloween Horror Nights will run from September 28-29 through October 4-7, 11-14, 18-21, 24-28, and Oct.31-Nov. 3. Advance tickets and vacation packages are on sale now. Halloween Horror Nights is a special ticket event and is $64.95 plus tax. Florida residents can save up to $30 off the full admission price of Halloween Horror Nights 17 tickets. For more information on discounts and travel packages, or to purchase tickets, guests may call 407-224-5500 or visit the event’s website at www.halloweenhorrornights.com. Event tickets are also available at the front gate of the theme parks and select outlets such as Publix Supermarkets and Ticketmaster. Because of the event’s popularity, tickets are expected to sell out and should be purchased far in advance. Universal Orlando Resort (www.universalorlando.com). With Steven Spielberg as creative consultant, Universal Orlando has created the world’s most innovative theme park attractions based on pop culture’s most compelling films and stories.

Awesome journalism Erik!Posted August 30, 2007 at 11:55 AM Sounds great!

Great job on breaking it all down for us, I'm ready to go now!!Posted August 30, 2007 at 1:10 PM

I didnt do anything but post the press release, but thanks Anthony....on the other side I did beat Robert to the punch..lol.Posted August 30, 2007 at 4:23 PM Update....we now have the full HHN Carnival of Carnage at halloweenhorrornights.com
From robert miller
Question for Eric,(or whoever might know). When you stay in the park before HHN, about how long do you have to wait in the holding area, and do they let you in the houses before they let others in.(and if so, how long before) I made the mistake last year of not getting to the park early enough for HHN, and all of the express passes were sold out. Lines were bad(and this was on a week day.Posted August 30, 2007 at 4:31 PM
From Brandon Kadlec
Does anyone know how they are setting up the park this year? Will it be islands of adventure, and Universal? Is there a map out yet of the area?Posted August 30, 2007 at 4:49 PM
From Brady Allen
Last year we had to go to Finnigans to get a wrist band and we waited about an hour for the haunted houses to open. We were one of the first to get in which helped us see and do alot more throughout the evening. see ya there the first weekend of Oct. Posted August 30, 2007 at 5:02 PM
From Erik Yates
The thing is called "Stay and Scream" and as long as you have a ticket for the day, and are in before the park closes, say by 4 or 5, then you're going to get first dibs on a few of the houses. We did three houses last year before they opened the front gates. Posted August 31, 2007 at 8:59 AM There is no map available yet. Keep Checking Halloweenhorrornights.com for more updates. As far as the layout, it will be strictly at the Stuidos. On busier nights they will open IOA, but only Marvel Super Hero Island and Suess Landing. There will be 4 shows this year: Bill and Ted Carnival of Carnage Freakshow Rocky Horror Show Review. Its going to be a good year. Also there will be one haunt zone.......that stretches throughout the entire park.
From Anthony Murphy
Sounds great and a good deal on the early entry to the houses!Posted August 31, 2007 at 4:46 PM
From Cody Carson
so there is one scare zone that stretches over the entire park? Any idea on what theme it will be?Posted September 1, 2007 at 11:04 AM
From Erik Yates
If I had to guess...a Carnival...of carnage.Posted September 1, 2007 at 11:42 AM
From Tyler W.
good guessPosted September 1, 2007 at 5:23 PM
