Terror Tram

On previous posts, I have talked about Halloween Horror Nights (HHN) and all of the different things that the event holds. For a general overview check out this one. For a specific on Scare Zones, check out this one here. To continue this trend, I'd like to specifically talk about Universal's Terror Tram.

IF you have ever been to Universal, then you know about their famous back-lot tour, or you have at least seen its sets on film. You ride around on the tram and see all of these sets, and famous locations from your favorite movies. It's entertaining, funny, and a great experience for any movie lover. However, when the sun goes down in October, it is transformed into something completely different. Instead of riding on this tram, you get off, walk through the sets, and are chased by scare actors, many wielding chainsaws, along the way.

Each set is decked out with lights, fog, other props, such as ambulances. And small building like structures are even set up along the trail. Around each corner, scare actors walk side by side you, trying their best to terrify you. There are limited lights, and the area is wooded. You cant go back, and the only way to escape it, is by going through all of it.
Here are a few examples, just to set the scene for you.





Now putting aside this amazing scenery, you are actually setting foot on the property which many famous films were created. That in itself is worth the experience. You get to see sets such as...

The house from the famous black and white film, Psycho:

The War of The Worlds plane wreck:
Normal Day Time View

View during HHN

This attraction and opportunity is enough reason alone for many fans to come to the event. Nothing is better than going on a hike out in the wooded back-lot and being chased the entire way by individuals who are trained to terrify you to your core.
