Halloween Horror Nights has returned to Universal Studios Hollywood and Orlando this month, running through Halloween. To get hyped, Bloody Disgusting’s Vanessa Decker and Rawl Paredes took an early tour of two highly anticipated attractions in Hollywood.

First up is a brand-new maze inspired by the A Quiet Place franchise, based on the first two films. The maze relies heavily on sound design, with speakers placed closer to guests as they walk through. Additionally, American Sign Language (Asl) will be featured throughout the maze. A deaf actress, who works at Universal, portrays Regan in the opening video as guests enter. Scare actors in the maze have been taught Asl, but their role is not to scare—none of them will.

Creative Director John Murdy has expressed excitement for this highly anticipated house, noting that all the creatures were built practically since CGI was used in the films. The maze...

Exclusive: Indie horror film If It Bleeds has added four to its cast.

Khleo Thomas (Holes), Vanessa Decker (Stiletto), Adam Bucci (Brute 1976) and Maren Altman have joined lead actress Catherine Corcoran (Terrifier) in Matthew Hersh’s debut feature, which is billed as an “anthology-style” thriller.

It also stars Justin Miles, Krsy Fox, (Terrifier 3), Kirby Bliss Blanton (The Green Inferno), Gigi Gustin, (Night of the Missing) and genre staples Doug Jones (The Shape of Water) Bonnie Aarons (The Nun), Dee Wallace, (Cujo), John Kassir (Tales from the Crypt) and Constance Forsland (Village of the Damned).

If It Bleeds follows genre actor Corcoran as young and ambitious news reporter Diane Winters and her cameraman Simon (Miles), as they uncover a mysterious series of gruesome murders that unfold throughout the course of a chaotic and violent day. As events unfold, the duo become players in a sinister situation even...

Ama Lea and Vanessa Decker (Bloody Disgusting’s host of Hello Horror and influencer: @horror.vixen) are combining their talents to create an unparalleled workout experience that blends heart-pounding fitness routines with the spine-tingling suspense of vintage 80’s horror.

The Slashercise DVD series promises to combine all that is loved about 80’s classic horror and fitness rolled into a full-fledged, digital format exercise program.

Presale for Vol 1 is open now at www.slashercise.com!

Slashercise was conceived by Decker and Lea at the onset of the pandemic when at-home exercise had its biggest resurgence since Jane Fonda donned spandex. Joined by their producing team, Event Producer Claire Dunlap, Lindsay Hearts (CEO & Designer at Foxblood), Diana Prince (Darcy The Mail Girl of The Last Drive-in with Joe Bob Briggs) and Kira Von Sutra (Artist), Slashercise was born.

Slashercise is a complete exercise plan that uses host-guided cardio routines and bodyweight training...

“It’s the most wonderful time of the year/ with the kids trick or treating/ and everyone saying you’re entitled to a scare/ it’s the most wonderful time of the year.”

Granted, Halloween is a state-of-mind all year round for most horror hounds, but even the die-hards and devotees will contend that October is busy season. A time when bite-size candy turns green, purple, and orange; when horror is on 24/7 on certain stations; and when it’s socially acceptable to turn your lawns into cemeteries, crypts, monster jams, and more.

Decorating can be difficult, though. Sometimes you need a second, or third, or fifth eye to offer some feedback. That’s exactly what “Hello Horror” brought to the table in their Halloween special. Presented by Spirit Halloween, host Vanessa Decker obtains all the right tricks and treats to give one very lucky horror fan a Halloween Home Makeover!

Halloween Horror Nights makes its return to Universal Studios this month in both Hollywood and Orlando, and Bloody Disgusting’s Vanessa Decker and Elwood Walker took an early tour of two of the most anticipated attractions in Hollywood. First up, a brand new Chucky maze inspired by the hit tv series & past installments of the iconic franchise.

Chucky: Ultimate Kill Count casts the killer doll as the star of his very own haunted house for the first time. A true sadistic killer, Chucky has been mired in the agony of disrespect he feels from his peers at not being taken seriously. Thus begins his quest to turn his haunted house into a living slaughterhouse by killing every person who enters.

Creative director John Murdy says that this is “the most ambitious house in Horror Nights history,” featuring over 17 different Chucky animatronics that can talk, run, and most importantly, kill. The...

Nightmare on Maple Street. The Candyman Dulce De Leche. Chai-Day the 13th. These are just some of the special brews you can now order up at Horror Vibes Coffee, a unique coffee shop in North Hollywood that aims to be Starbucks… for horror fans.

Bloody Disgusting’s own Vanessa Decker (the host of our original series “Hello Horror”) had a chance to sip some spooky specialties on a recent trip to Horror Vibes Coffee, and Vanessa also lets us know that the shop will be serving up a special “Hello Horror” treat this month!

I always love returning to the fog each year. Knott’s Scary Farm is the oldest operating haunt at a theme park and has long been a staple during the Haunt / Halloween season.

With two new mazes added to this year’s line-up, and a whole slew of shows, there’s definitely a lot for attendees to enjoy. Here’s a look at this year’s must-see attractions.

Kicking off my visit with new Maze Bloodline, which was fantastic…

Bloodline 1842 – New Maze

“Armed with the latest Bellatorian weaponry, you can choose to heed the call to action and embark on a perilous journey with the immortal Daybreakers. Travel through the busy city streets of Valdonia while hunting the bloodthirsty Valhymphri in an all-out war. Bring light into the darkness, survive the vicious onslaught of vampires, and bring honor to your order!”

Also the new Maze Grimoire, was probably my favorite maze of the evening.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year and Hello Horror‘s Vanessa Decker and Ryan Valdez kicked off the festivities with a trip to the 2022 Halloween Horror Nights, which returned to Universal Studios Hollywood this month.

The two already teased a behind-the-scenes look at two of the houses and now take a deep dive into the nonstop chaos that haunts all of Universal Studios Hollywood alongside red carpet interviews with everyone from The Chiodo Brothers, who talk the newly announced Killer Klowns from Outer Space video game, to Child’s Play creator Don Mancini, who reveals the themes of “Chucky” season two and the tease of an exorcism. Jason Blum also speaks on the finale of the new Halloween trilogy, Halloween Ends.

Vanessa also goes on a tour of the Halloween Horror Nights attraction based on The Black Phone, and she tours the attraction side-by-side with young star Mason Thames!

It’s almost the most wonderful time of the year… Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights!

Opening night is upon us and Bloody Disgusting’s Vanessa Decker & Elwood Quincy Walker got an early sneak preview of two of this year’s most anticipated houses: The Horrors of Blumhouse & Universal Monsters: Legends Collide…

In this year’s edition of The Horrors of Blumhouse guests are welcomed into Blumhouse Video, an abandoned haunted VHS rental store presenting the body-swapping slashterpiece Freaky & the terrifying summer blockbuster The Black Phone.

The Freaky section of the house is fantastic & throws you right in the middle of the film’s opening scene where the Blissfield Butcher brutally slaughters a group of teens one by one.

This house does a great job at recreating a lot of Freaky’s creatively gruesome kills, featuring the iconic shattering wine bottle throat kill & the skull-crushing toilet seat from what is one...
