It's legendary. It's horrific. It's one of the country's largest and most elabrorate Halloween event. It's Halloween Horror Nights, and it's coming to Universal Orlando on 23 select nights from September 25 through October 31, 2009.

Every year, Universal Orlando's team creates the most unimaginably frightening haunted house experiences. For the first time ever, visitors to Universal Orlando's Halloween Horror Nights will live a mega-horror movie before it even hits the big screen and also experience two modern day blockbuster horror franchises as the entire event focuses on bringing horror films to life.

Universal Orlando is partnering with Universal Pictures to bring one of the year's most anticipated films, "The Wolfman," to life. Visitors to the park will experience it firsthand before it hits theaters on November 6. Universal is also partnering with Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures to bring the most profitable horror franchise, "SAW," to Halloween Horror Nights 19: Ripped From the Silver Screen. The popular "Chucky" film series will also be brought to life for the event as well.

Other horror films and characters from the movies, including completely re-imagined Frankenstein and Dracula concepts, will also be integrated into this year's event.

Everyone knows these films... and now they will get to live them in person!
