Okay, I can't resist. Let's just go ahead and say it.
They're back.
Poltergeist is returning to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood this fall. The park announced the film franchise's return as it completed the line-up for its annual after-hours haunt event.
Joining Poltergeist at this year's Halloween Horror Nights in Hollywood will be the returning The Purge: Dangerous Waters stunt show in the WaterWorld theater, as well as another trip for the Terror Tram.
Terror Tram: Enter the Blumhouse this year will feature "most iconic villains from Blumhouse’s popular horror franchises over the past 15 years, including The Grabber from The Black Phone, the possessed from Exorcist: The Believer, the diabolical M3GAN, the ruthless killers from The Purge franchise, the terrifying demons from the Insidious chapters, Blissfield Butcher from Freaky and Babyface Killer from Happy Death Day, among others," according to Universal's press release.
Previously announced houses at this year's Halloween Horror Nights are:
The Monstruos house will lead into the new Noche de Brujas scare zone. Other scare zones at this year's HHN, announced today, will be: Chainsaw Clownz, Carnival of Carnage, and the returning Murder of Crowz.

Anybody seen that Stunt Show? If so how was it?
@fattyackin:
It's alright, not as good or engaging as WaterWorld. I'd say it's a much more mature version of the original show, without much of the comedy or memorable characters. It's a lot of bloody death with cussing and rock/rap music.
If you've got time and nothing to do, I'd recommend it, but don't go out of your way to see it.

The lineup this year started strong with the announcement of Fallout, and from there, they limped along. I know some corners of the internet are excited about WWE and Terrifier. I admit Five Nights at Freddy's should be interesting with the addition of Henson puppets. But saving Poltergeist (which wasn't a surprise) and Terror Bland for the final announcements?? When is Hollywood going to take a page from Orlando and do something original or interesting?
