The Grabber from “The Black Phone” greets guests outside the theater in his signature mask, holding black balloons. He reappears in the queue.

Once inside the theater lobby, guests have several minutes to explore the displays.

There’s a photo op for “The Black Phone” featuring the film’s title above a phone on a wall, with black balloons all around.

There are two chairs with leather straps from the upcoming “The Exorcist: Believer.” The new film also inspired a house at HHN this year.

M3GAN

Look out — M3GAN is here. She’s confined to a display case, but we would still be careful.

A guide shares some facts about the props, including that it took the Jim Henson Creature Shop 15 months to build the animatronics.

After several minutes in the lobby, guests are escorted into the movie theater to see a preview of Blumhouse films.

The preview video begins but doesn’t have sound. After some tinkering, they try to restart it, but it gets cut off. The host calls for technical help, when the screen suddenly goes white, showing his silhouette. Then M3GAN appears behind him. She kills the host with a machete, causing blood to splatter across the screen.

The lights go out and then come back on, revealing M3GAN in the flesh on stage. When the lights flicker again, there are several M3GANs on stage and in the aisles around guests. They dance and then the experience ends.
