Terrorific Nights 2014

Last year, I was kind of disappointed that there was no Terrorific Nights at The Disney Studios in Paris.  So hear are some of my ideas, thoughts and concepts for this years Terrorific Nights. 

Blvd of Lost Souls 

Starting with Studio 1, guest will encounter ghosts in 1920's to the 1940's attires with black and white makeup, as if they came from an old fashioned movie. With fog effects and grey lighting.

Dead End Street 

Production Courtyard will be themed after the back alleyways, cemeteries, and swampy environs of New Orleans Louisiana. Here guests will encounter the legendary voodoo queen Marie Laveau, Baron Samedi, voodoo deity of the dead, along with zombies, redneck locals and a swamp monster.

Carnival of the Weird 

Toon Studios has been converted into a surreal  and disturbing carnival. Demented clowns, sideshow human oddities, and circus performers will roam the streets that make guest scream and laugh at the same time. It will offer guest old fashioned midway games and performances.   

Village of the Dead 

The Backlot will transformed into a medieval village stricken with the black plague, with plague doctors, infected villagers and the rat catcher will roam the streets. 

Attractions 

The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror will feature characters as ghosts roaming the outdoor and indoor queues of the Hollywood Tower Hotel, just to keep guest entrained.   

The new attraction takes place in a prop warehouse, that housed relics that were either cursed or possessed. 

The catacombs is a maze, in wich guest must navigate with a lantern that will light up their way through the dark areas, as they encounter zombies, ghosts and vampires.

The Studio Tram will be themed to a ghost tour. The tour guide will tell guests urban legends and ghostly sighting at the backlot. They will encounter the spirit of a young actress who committed suicided, a graveyard infested with angry spirits, the murderous barber/butcher, a witch burning reenactment and an Egyptian tomb set with mummies and ancient gods.  

South America at Disney's Animal Kingdom

I've recently came up with the idea of having a South American area for Animal Kingdom instead of Avatar Land. It will be a multicultural combination of different parts from South America such as Columbia, Brazil, Cuba and Peru. 

Guests will make their way down a small sloped pathway through a dense rainforest canopy until they come across the village itself. The entire village will be modeled after Salento, Columbia. Street vendors will man their own separate stalls where they sell authentic street food from that region such as empanadas, arepas, different types of fruit.

The attractions will feature Raging Spirits, an outdoor and indoor coaster that tells the story in which guests board on a mine cart train in an ancient temple and encounter other-worldly creatures that want you out of their territory such as spirits, demons, creatures you’ve never seen before.

The next attraction is a flume ride based on the amazon river with a display of animatroic animals. The Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Gods is a dark ride similar to the one in Disneyland. The setting takes place on an Aztec temple, rumored to be the location of El Dorado and home to Mictlantecuhtli, the god of death and the underworld. 

Animal exhibits will showcase  many different animals from the rainforest such as jaguars, sloths, falcons, snakes, etc.

Halloween Horror Nights Hollywood Ripped From The Silver Screen

Icon: The Usher

The event will be similar to one in Orlando, but with a few additions and changes.

Backstory: The Universal Palace Theater was opened in 1922 by Carl Lully Jr in Hollywood California. It was full of opulence and always attracted a crowd of people. Unfortunately, in 1929 the Great Depression hit. The Universal Palace, along with 317 others, was forced into private ownership by Malcolm Wyandott. After that, the new manager took in a young adult applying for a job as an usher, Julian Browning. Browning truly enjoyed working at the theater and love horror movies. However, Browning was also very strict about the rules of the Palace Theater, and hated rude patrons. After the theater being in private hands for some time, a series of murders and disappearances of many theater goers, such as a rowdy patron mauled to death by a werewolf, a young bride to be drained of blood, and a maintenance man electoruted to death. Either the Universal Palace is haunted and taken a life of it's own, or Julian Browning was responsible for the deaths of rule breaking patrons. After Browning's death, the Palace became a home to shlock b movies and slasher flicks in the 1970s and 80s, until was eventually closed in the 1991 due the incidents, it was rumored that The Usher's spirit still walks the Universal Palace Theater and enact his revenge on another who would dare break the rules of the theater.

Changes to The Haunted Mansion part 4

The Graveyard

While guest descend into the graveyard, the sky adorned with Christmas lights, that will make them look like stars, rolling clouds and a full moon. The flying spirits will be redesigned to look like skeletons in shrouds. The tree trunks will be given light with eyes and Spanish Mosses on the branches.

The tune of Grim Grinning Ghosts will sound like a jazzy. All of the animatronics have been gutted and rebuilt with new, much more advanced features. This will not only make them have more advanced movements, but it will make them look like actual ghosts. Every ghost now glows a dark shade of grey and blue.

The minstrels will be redesigned to look like a Ragtime or Jazz Age band.  

A group of reanimated corpses and skeletons will dance to the music. While a young ghostly will we seen swing and sining to the tune.

The skeletal dog will be given flesh and fur that will suggest guest it will look like a werewolf. 

The ghosts and bicycles will be redesigned in a turn of the century style. 

The tea party ghosts will be given an Edwardian era attire.

The Crypt 

Ghost Host: Ah, there you, and you've just found a way. But their just one friendly word of warning. Beware of hitchhiking ghosts.

The hitchhiking ghosts have been replaced by up to date animatronics, meaning they are much more advanced than the ones we have now.

 Each ghost appears green in the mirror and moves a lot more than they did before. Also each ghost does something different than their previous self. Ezra will tip his hat, along with his head, Phineas puts his arms around guests' shoulders, and Gus will be seen peeking through the safety bars. 

Ghost Host: They have selected you guide you back to the World of the Living, and they'll haunt when you return home. 

A pile of bones will rest on the right corner of the crypt with some humorous epitaphs engraved on each of the vaults.

As guests exit out of the mansion and into the world of the living, they can hear Vincent Price's laugh just like the one after Thriller.

Changes to The Haunted Mansion part 3

Seance Circle 

The entire seance circle will be expanded in size to make way for a new scene. A bizarre octagon-shaped room will be the new seance circle. Tapestries hang from the sides of the archways lined with griffin statues holding up.

Leota's ball will start from the table, then levitates while she is reciting her spell and returns to her table after she is done.  

All of the floating musical instruments and furniture in the seance have been repainted, replaced, or simply refurbished to glow in the new and eerie black lights of the room. Along with a voodoo doll and a deck of tarot cards. As Leota speaks her spells and incantations, a cold blast of wind or new audio will be added to the Doombuggies. A crack gag displays a spirit materializing.

Ghost Host: The spirits have received sympathetic vibrations. And their gather for a party to die for. I'll see you all a little later. 

Grand Hall

All of the ghosts will be given new costumes and wigs to make them more historical accurate. The rocking chair that the Grandmother will be siting in her rocking chair back and forth while knitting. Party hats will dorn the Birthday Ghostess, as two invisible spirits toast with two wine glasses. The ghost of Mark Anthony and Cleopatra will be replaced and redesigned as two 1920's era bootleggers. The dancers will float from five feet from the floor. 

         Attic 

As the sounds of the ghostly party slowly fade into the distance, the Doom Buggies carry guests into the heart of any good haunted house: the Attic - a musty, dusty realm filled to overflowing with hundreds of family heirlooms, knickknacks, and wedding giffts. An eerie heartbeat fills the attic, along with a demented harpischord version of the "Wedding March" getting louder and louder as we proceed through the rotting rafters of the attic.

   

Slowly moving into the attic we stare at a collection of junk surrounding a wedding portrait between a young man and woman. Lit by an eerie purple light several pieces of junk obviously belonging to the couple surround the portrait supposably telling the young couple's story. Furnishings and household items will suggest that the man came from either he came from the southern or midwestern states. Some of them include a stack of books, a hatbox, and a hatchet. Suddenly one can hear the nearby slice of a hatchet. The groom's head disappears from the portrait before reappearing again.

Another wedding portrait appears up ahead between a different man and that same woman as before. Among the furnitures and china table sets, cracked with age, an old fashioned dollhouse, and an antique piggy bank can be seen tucked away in a corner. The slice of the hatchet can be heard once again, making the groom's head disappear before reappearing again.

  Asian themed artifacts are scattered around the area, along with a blood stinted sword that belonged to a forgein diplomat Marquis Enma, and some roman cnadels. It seems that Constance has found other ways of disposing her husbands. 

Nearby yet another wedding portrait appears, this time between the same girl as before and a much fatter man. Several artifacts from Mr Caine's travles lie about the place, including masks from Africa, a modle globe, a miniture ship in a bottle, and an egytian sarcophagus. The chair the man sits upon in the portrait is also located here. A bottle of poison sits near a diner set of crystal gobletts and silverwere. Again the man's head disappears and reappears.

Near by stands a dilapidated harpsichord beeing playing by itself. The candle light exposes the invisbile spector's shadow, slanted on the wall. 

Near the exit is the ghost of Mrs Constance and her portrait of her finale husband George. As usual the groom's head disappears and reapares again. Artifacts are scatred around the area, relating to a grand wedding between him and his bride. Which include a portrait of a young woman in a pink dress. Hanging in the raffters is a bat resting upside down in it's cage. The ghostly bride  sits towards the exit of the attic, her ghostly dress billowing in the wind. With each time she raises her hands, a hachet appears out of nowhere and vanishes.

Across the way on the other side of the attic is the ghost of George. A skeletal figure wearing an immense cape, a fancy top hat, and clutching a wooden cane in one hand with a large hatbox in the other.The ghost's cane shakes wildly as his ghastly, skeletal grin vanishes with the slice of the hatchet. As a matter of fact his entire head disappears, leaving his top hat suspended in the air. Suddenly his head reappears within the hatbox he holds, soon after reappearing back on his shoulders."

  

Across the way on the other side of the attic is a bloodstained wedding dress, with a glowing betting heart. Next to a hat rack that belonged to her husbands  and a noose hanging from the rafters. 

Second Version

Here is my version of what if the orignal bride with the beating heart was'nt replaced by Costance. The entire room will be filled with artifacts and obejects from diffrent parts of the globe. Look carefuly, and you may find many intresting itmes scattered around the area. Such as an old sea chest, a coffin shaped clock, a model ship in a bottle, a hand of glory candle, a sofa with face on it, an fish bowl with skeltal fish swiming in it, a hatbox, and a box taged with "Don't open until Christmas." The ghouls will pop up and say "I do" in various sports, where they are dressed as bridesmaids and groomsmen. 

The bride will remain in her usual spot near the open window. She will float in mid air, while her face is completely covered in her veil. Whit everytime her heart beats, it will light up to expose her ribcage and reveal a learing skull hiden beneath her veiled face.
