The 35th anniversary presentation of @UniversalORL @HorrorNightsORL is wonderful. House highlights (for me) include the Ozzy tribute, Evil Dead Burn, Hellraiser, and Jack & Oddfellow. The Stranger Things lagoon show is a tour-de-force. Here is my review: aboutthemeparks.fun/p/all-ab…
I think my favorite @HorrorNightsORL house is Evil Dead Burn. Lots of great scares (a few of which got me!), great effects, and overall, impressive production.
The Ozzy house at @UniversalORL @HorrorNightsORL is great. Stunning sets, creepy vibe, and, of course, classic tracks from the Prince of Darkness. Loved it!
