Really? “Deadpool”??: A First-Time Viewing
I have never watched the Deadpool films prior to today. Maybe it’s because of my aversion to Ryan Reynolds or non-MCU superhero films, but in order to be ready for Deadpool & Wolverine this July, I decided to start the franchise. Going in, I wasn’t sure what my feelings on the film were going to be, even […]

Halloween Horror Nights Facades Take Shape at Universal Studios Hollywood
While Universal Orlando Resort has announced several houses coming to Halloween Horror Nights 33, we’re still waiting for news on the Universal Studios Hollywood version of the event. While we wait, construction of the haunted houses continues on the Upper and Lower Lots.
Parisian Courtyard Halloween Horror Nights Construction
Barriers block access to this archway of the Parisian Courtyard. A construction sign on a hedge reads “Pardon Our Stardust.”
Last year, this space held Monstruous: The Monsters of Latin America.
Around the corner, construction walls surround a white tent outside Mel’s Diner.
This side of the site is usually the main entrance to a house.
Soundstages
There are two tents set up among soundstages on the Lower Lot. One is next to Revenge of the Mummy. This tent was here during our last update and crews have started to construct the facade.
The three-sided facade is now mostly white inside. A cubby on the right is black inside — and could potentially hide a Scareactor during Halloween Horror Nights. A structure on the inside of the facade, in front of the cubby, now has a black roof. Above the entrance is an arched marquee.
Here’s a side view of the entrance area to the Mummy tent. We could mostly just see construction materials and a flat standee.
The second black tent is behind Transformers The Ride 3D.
The wooden walls of this structure were previously exposed but are now completely enclosed in the tent. Its facade has taken on more shape.
The entrance was previously just flat plywood. It now features elements slanting away from it. Most of the facade has been painted gray.
We could just barely see this facade during the Studio Tour. Here, you can better see that the slanted elements are flat but are more like very tall steps.
There are two small windows between the elements.
Speculation for Halloween Horror Nights 2024 at Universal Studios Hollywood indicates there may be haunted houses themed to “Ghostbusters” and “A Quiet Place.” Death Eaters are expected to return to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Blumhouse has also teased a return to HHN.
