UNIVERSAL STUDIOS HOLLYWOOD RE-INVENTS THE THEME PARK HALLOWEEN EXPERIENCE WITH "HALLOWEEN HORROR NIGHTS" RETURNING UNIVERSAL BACKLOT TO ITS HORROR ROOTS FOR SEVEN NIGHTS OF TERROR BEGINNING FRIDAY THE 13TH OF OCTOBER

Universal City, California, August 7, 2006 —Universal Studios Hollywood, The Entertainment Capital of L.A., will reinvent the Halloween theme park experience this year with "Halloween Horror Nights," creating the ambiance of a true "horror genre" production, incorporating scenic and special effects resources of the studio's famed backlot for a transformative horror experience.

"Halloween Horror Nights" will extend over seven nights beginning Friday the 13th of October and continue Oct. 14, 20-21, 27-28 and on Halloween, October 31.

The "Halloween Horror Nights" experience will be staged as a production by "The Director," a mysterious and demented horror genre auteur who will convert Universal's working studio backlot and the theme park's most popular rides and attractions into terrifyingly realistic settings for an intense and enveloping manifestation of mayhem. Actors and guests will intermingle seamlessly for an immersive experience that will shatter pre-conceptions, transcending notions of horror genre theatrics and "Halloween maze" experiences to take visitors to a state of extreme dread, shock and terror.

For the first time in the studio's 93-year history, guests will be able to disembark from studio trams and walk among the historic sets of the Universal backlot, birthplace of the horror genre. The backlot experience—incorporating such Hollywood landmarks as Psycho House and the War of the Worlds disaster scene—will play a central role in "The Director's" Universal Studios Hollywood's "Halloween Horror Nights" production, a scenario that calls for guests to be transported into eerie, darkened sets while subjected to disorienting and unnerving interactive experiences.

Universal Studios Hollywood's "Halloween Horror Nights" will also feature multiple performances by trance music/performance artists The Mutaytor, a multi-media ensemble that was formed at the legendary Burning Man Festival by members of Oingo Boingo, Supertramp and other musical and theatrical groups. The Mutaytor's blend of pyrotechnics, stunt performance, tribal dancers and pounding percussion--a riotously surreal techno-retro-funk-audience—will add a spine-tingling and alarming element to the overall Halloween experience.

Specially created entertainment pieces will bring added production value to "The Director's" scenario. Among them, "Chucky's Insultorium" will provide a mix of menace and humor to the event while the "Carnival of Carnage" will feature the best of medieval torture artists, sword swallowers, fire and glass eaters, human pincushions and those with a hearty appetite for cockroaches, worms and maggots.

Universal Studios Hollywood's favorite attractions will remain open for the nighttime Halloween Horror Nights experience, but many will feature a menacing twist. The standing sets and themed streets of the park will be transformed into scenes from "The Director's" dark vision. "WaterWorld" (transformed into "Slaughter World" for the occasion) "Jurassic Park—In the Dark," the "Revenge of the Mummy" psychological thrill ride and the twists and turns of the "Back to the Future" will all seem like tranquil respites from "The Director's" bedlam.

Universal's "Halloween Horror Nights" comes to life for seven nights over the course of three consecutive weekends: October 13-14, 20-21 and 27-28, and 31. The event will begin nightly at 7:00 PM.
