Home Halloween Horror Nights: Sweet 16 › Facts

The following facts have been added from submissions by several Horror Nights fans. If you would like to send in your own, or correct our current facts, please feel free to e-mail us.

  • "Halloween Horror Nights: Sweet 16" acted as a homecoming celebration in honor of the event returning to it's rightful home, Universal Studios Florida, for the first time since it left in 2002.
     

  • "Robosaurus," the fire-breathing, car-eating monster made a comeback appearance to Horror Nights since its last appearance twelve years prior during Halloween Horror Nights 1994.
     

  • The "Robosaurus" show was written around the storyline of George A. Romero's "Land of the Dead." The show used elements created in the film, from the diversions of the zombies by deploying fireworks into the air, to even posting a sign on the back of Robosaurus with the title "Dead Reckoning." Dead Reckoning was not only original title of the film, but also the name of the armored tank used to slaughter and overtake the zombies on excursions.
     

  • Every single house featured at this years event was a sequel, or based off of, houses from Halloween Horror Nights past. The only two icon houses that were brought back were The Caretaker's "Screamhouse," and The Director's "All Nite Die-In." Because of this, both Jack and the Storyteller were tied into other houses from the past. Jack was "committed" into the Shady Brook Asylum (Psychoscareapy), and the Storyteller became the new owner of a roadside attraction rightfully titled the "Dungeon of Terror."
     

  • Cindy, the original icon for Horror Nights 2002, was featured in "Screamhouse: Resurrection." Cindy could be spotted on portraits within the house, as well as inside of a casket in the funeral parlor scene.
     

  • The opening scene in "All Nite Die-In: Take 2" featured hanging film strips from the ceiling. The film was actual filmstock taken from the "Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man" and "Back to the Future" attractions.
     

  • "Run: Hostile Territory" had a similar background to Eli Roth's "Hostel." The house actually featured footage from the film in one scene, as well as its queue video. Additionally, the queue video featured clips from the "Saw" films, and Peter Jackson's "Dead Alive."
     

  • "Psychoscareapy: Maximum Madness" featured a "power outage" effect, in which the power to the entire house would shut down, suspending visitors in total darkness for a few moments at a time.
     

  • "People Under the Stairs: Under Construction" featured the hard hat technology that was introduced in the "Terror Mines" haunted house from Halloween Horror Nights: Tales of Terror.
     

  • Both "Psycho Path: Through the Mind of Norman Bates," and "People Under the Stairs: Under Construction" were housed in "building alternatives." Developed by the Sprung Company, these buildings are permanent housing structures that have the capability to be relocated.
     

  • Even though this year's event was back at "home" at the Studios, Marvel Super Hero Island (Incredible Hulk Coaster, The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man, and Doctor Doom's FearFall) was opened on Friday and Saturday nights to help with the overcrowding issues.
     

  • After the first weekend, "Psycho Path: Through the Mind of Norman Bates" began to utilize the "Back to the Future" entrance and queue line to help extend the line. Additionally, the Psycho Path queue video was played on the Back to the Future queue monitors.
