0:42
line right there starts in 16 minutes
0:46
once again this Halloween as fans flow
0:50
through the gates to celebrate the 51st
0:52
season of not scary fall I even wrote a
0:55
show that never performed which I
0:57
thought was great we did a show in 12
1:00
called misto mechanical Mayhem where the
1:03
whole gag was was the the performer dies
1:06
he he dies right before the show starts
1:08
and people would just get mad that they
1:09
waited for a
1:11
show yeah people would wait for it was
1:13
on the map and everything people would
1:15
wait for a show former di that was very
1:18
funny thank you
1:21
so scary farm is about this whole
1:24
experience right you you go thinking
1:26
you're I'm going to hit all the mazes
1:27
and be like you see a show and when you
1:29
get home The Mazes and the stuff that
1:31
you wanted to see were great but the
1:32
stuff that surprised you that you didn't
1:34
know that's the stuff you really
1:35
remember I wasn't expecting that you
1:37
were usually that's where the fun is
1:39
usually at as it's the least expecting
1:41
um so last year speaking of unexpected
1:44
returns and things we brought back the
1:46
hanging
1:53
so hanging it started on Calico Square
1:53
which doesn't even exist anymore it
1:55
moved to the Calico mind stage and we
1:58
reached a point in pop culture where
2:01
people just lost their sense of humor
2:03
and people would just watch the show and
2:04
get upset and write all these terrible
2:06
things and I got all these nasty phone
2:09
calls one year about the show uh which
2:11
was fun and uh then we decided we could
2:15
bring it back for the big 50 Anniversary
2:17
right so we brought it back and how was
2:18
that experience and how was it received
2:21
uh it was fantastic I'll tell you
2:30
uh uh me and Ken worked on the script
2:30
for about a year we knew a year out that
2:32
we were going to do it it kept
2:34
constantly changing but the real uh
2:36
Magic Element to it was putting it in
2:38
the wagon Camp because now suddenly you
2:41
couldn't just walk by and see the show
2:43
you couldn't have your iy and go what
2:45
did they just say about Justin Bieber
2:47
what I'm going to write a letter instead
2:51
you had to come in and you had to know
2:53
you were going to get offended by yeah
2:54
we had a sign up front that said if
2:56
you're one of those people that gets mad
2:58
and writes crap on the internet
3:00
get the hell out
3:07
want stor and and the best part if you
3:07
remember last year we didn't even use a
3:09
noose there was not a noose ever on The
3:11
Gallows instead they used the no blue
3:15
necklace it'll fit in perfect it's going
3:18
to look great and so he's like okay so I
3:22
have someone on my team who is amazing
3:25
with electronics and he's like let's
3:27
turn it into a lantern Activation so it
3:29
just grew and Brew um it may or may not
3:32
be getting an upgrade this year as well
3:34
I it's pretty soon going to be the
3:36
entire Zone I can see it now for walk
3:38
through forsaking Lake yes huge it is
3:41
and I'll be honest I thought it was
3:42
going to be like a coffee shop it does
3:45
it's size of this I walk by like I can't
3:47
wait to buy a
3:49
frappuccino during the fog I used to run
3:52
all of not's scary farm social media and
3:55
I wanted a tag out at the end so I just
3:58
started riding over a DE to go see you
4:00
in the fog dot dot dot and at Live
4:03
Events that's how I ended the show see
4:05
you in the fog and I would say it and
4:07
then last year this showed up at
4:09
Universal so of course somebody sent me
4:11
one so I have to wear it the best shirt
4:13
you wear today so good back over to the
4:16
zipper sounding
4:19
elevators so we had to go back to the
4:21
car cuz Kevin had to dump his footage
4:24
into his laptop from the knots and now
4:26
this is your moment you waited all year
4:28

possibly next year but I want to take
5:16
that far off in half who knows oh dang
5:18
is this the regular line for the hhn
5:22
panel right here I think it is get a
5:24
stand out here out in the elements in
5:27
the
5:28
Sun so on
5:30
stilts so what is this Kevin uh an hour
5:34
and a half this is general admission
5:35
okay that they're just waiting for the
5:36
hhn panel okay so we got the gold bat
5:39
line and then you have the general
5:41
Mission
5:43

5:46
sun yeah that's
5:52
rough I don't remember this last year
5:52
coming out like this this convention
5:54
they sell an extra they sold out but you
5:57
can purchase an extra gold bat I think
5:59
it was like
6:00
I don't know another $60 $70 for the
6:02
whole weekend for the gold bat and that
6:05
gets you front of the line for all the
6:06
haunted houses I showed yesterday and
6:08
also gets you in early access to the
6:11
panels what was the difference in the
6:13
price like 120 for this the barg yeah
6:16
it's too good of a price so like half
6:18
the price you're standing in all the
6:19
lines yeah some of the houses one houses
6:22
like a minute long wait you're like on

6:26
definitely going to get into the into
6:27
the panels with this with that if the
6:29
room fills up might be standing room or
6:32

6:34

16:09
here Texas M the legacy of leather face
16:14
is coming for Halloween hor night 2024
16:17
let's
16:20
get dang I was hoping for the 74 one but
16:23
I guess Legacy works too no I know what
16:25
you're
16:27
thinking has Texas team seon Massacre
16:29
ever been featured Halloween Horror
16:31
Nights in the
16:32
past yes it has what we're going to take
16:36
you through today and I'm going to do a
16:37
deep dive into Texas JS Master the
16:39
legacy of Leatherface this is an all new
16:42
experience I'm going to show you why but
16:46
first the Short History lesson of the
16:49
original 1974 classic film quick
16:52
personal story you see this scene what's
16:55
the scene the dinner scene yeah the
16:57
dining room the dinner table scene
17:00
that particular year I brought my uh
17:02
father-in-law and my mother-in-law from
17:04
Ireland to Halloween Horror Nights for
17:06
the first time when we got to the scene
17:09
the path goes around to the left my
17:12
father-in-law he never been in a hide
17:14
house he went around to the right and he
17:17
sat down in that bone chair and he just
17:19
started chatting up Grandpa and he says
17:22
these lines my family has always been in
17:24
meat what's he talking about
17:29
slaughterous he says oh there is you
17:32
know I used to work at the slaughterous
17:34
and my brother did and my grandpa and I
17:38
thought to myself you never see that in
17:41
the original film they talk about the
17:43
slaughter
17:44
house but you never see it so what we
17:47
decided to do was to create an alternate
17:50
timeline this is where it gets real
17:51
heavy okay so follow me we decided to
17:54
create an alternate timeline that runs
17:56
parallel to the events in the 1974 film
18:00
but that takes place entirely at this
18:02
location you've never been to the
18:04
slaughter housee cuz if I know the
18:06
Sawyer Family from Texas JSA Massacre
18:08
which I
18:09
do I know that if there's a
18:11
slaughterhouse that they all used to
18:13
work at that's been sitting they're
18:15
abandoned they're probably doing
18:17
something with it right
18:24
first
18:24
um I had to come up tell this backstory
18:28
right
18:30
I think I switched from like The
18:31
Hitchhiker to Chop Top halfway through
18:33
but thank you I appreciate that um so
18:35
this is the facade the facade is the
18:37
abandoned slaughter house it's been
18:39
sitting empty for a couple of decades
18:41
ever since the contracts dried up after
18:43
World War II Korea it closed it was
18:47
surrounded by fences but the Sawyer have
18:50
a c prod and he's going to be prodding
18:52
you to the stunner which in this case is
18:55
going to be Lea in the 2003 remake he's
18:57
up on a platform he's got a big
18:59
Sledgehammer so Chop Top setting them up
19:02
leather faces knocking him down
19:03
generation this weird version of the old
19:06
woman mask that exists in that film and
19:09
the old man is yelling at Leatherface
19:11
Leatherface stop ging at them
19:14
girls then be needs turning and they're
19:18
on either sides of you you're in the
19:20
middle they both have paddles they want
19:21
to whack you with screaming at his
19:23
brother Leatherface leather face you
19:26
idiot you gumed up the works again get
19:29
down here and take out the green
19:31
trap um this is a water seed you've seen
19:35
our water seeds right so
19:38
G is pouring in through these big drains
19:42
filling up the floor with not really
19:45
water it's kind of like
19:47
stew It's like got body parts in it and
19:52
thick and it's bubbling and it's oozing
19:55
and it smells delightful
19:58
guys think Exorcist smelled bad last
20:01
year I apologize in advance for the
20:05
factory sensation you are all going to
20:08
experience Teri that was Toby Hooper
20:10
Toby made that first horror movie I ever
20:12
went to in a theater Poltergeist Toby
20:16
Hooper Right Toby made some of the most
20:20
iconic horror movies ever in the genre
20:23
of horror
20:25
and one thing about Toby is you know
20:28
people always ask me like when did you
20:30
know Horror Nights in Hollywood when we
20:32
guys you know when we brought it back in
20:34
2006 when it was here to stay that's the
20:37
moment right there the one day all
20:40
sudden Toby Hooper show I started in
20:42
2018 with universal monsters this is the
20:45
sixth that we have done at Universal
20:47
Studios Hollywood and this one is called
20:50
Universal monsters Eternal blood L
20:54
why because this dude killed her dad do
20:58
you you remember the end of Dracula he
21:00
drives a stake through the heart of
21:01
Dracula and that's it so Dracula's
21:06
daughter is on a vendetta to wipe out
21:09
the Von Hing family then for exactly
21:11
what 5 minutes right it's so great that
21:14
the bride has continued to live despite
21:16
her entire film career being five
21:19
months but we you know we thought okay
21:22
cool let's take that farther so when she
21:25
gets fully
21:27
transformed she looks like this that's
21:29
cool so this is the look of our female
21:31
mummy in our experience uh you recognize
21:34
the Amulet of raw that she's wearing
21:36
around her neck that's a throwback to
21:38
our 2022 house Universal Monsters
21:41
Legends Collide that's what the mummy
21:43
was wearing mentioned in the book and
21:46
the movie called The Borgo pass we've
21:48
added our own touches to this little V
21:50
the Impaler influence of all these
21:52
impaled corpses um they're getting out
21:55
of the black coach and they're getting
21:56
ready to go to Dracula's castle to face
21:59
this threat of where this house is
22:01
because it's really
22:03
cool stage
22:05
12 on the universal front
22:08
L why is this
22:11
cool well to tell you why this is cool
22:14
it's time for a history lesson that's
22:15
slightly longer than the previous
22:17
slightly longer history lesson okay what
22:20
I want to do today seriously I just want
22:21
to take you through the highlights of
22:23
all the amazing films that have shot
22:26
inside the Sound Stage because this is
22:28
ground Z not only for the American
22:30
horror film but for movie making in
22:32
general because this stage was built in
22:35
1928 okay with horror we're going to
22:37
bring it back to horror right now
22:38
because in 1931 stage 12 was used to
22:41
build the interior of Dracula's castle
22:45
you know this scene
22:46
right not only is this one of the most
22:49
famous movie lines in all of horror
22:51
movie history it's one of the famous
22:52
movie lines in all movie history
22:55
Children of the Night what music they
22:59
make that was uttered inside stage 12
23:02
and I brought this little treat from our
23:03
archive we still have the original set
23:05
drawing in our archive this is from 1931
23:08
this is from Dracula this is the
23:10
production designer sketch for what that
23:12
set would look like and then in the same
23:14
year in 1931 it was used again for
23:17
Frankenstein this was Dr Frankenstein's
23:20
lab that's where that was shot one of
23:21
the most famous scenes in movie history
23:23
not only horror movies but all of movies
23:26
it's
23:26
alive that happened inside the Sound
23:29
Stage and then in 1935 it was used for
23:32
the Bride of Frankenstein Frankenstein
23:34
is all eager to have his friend and he
23:36
goes and puts a hand on her and she
23:37
hisses at him like a cat and then he
23:40
says the immortal line as he puts his
23:42
hand on the lever we belong dead pulls
23:45
the switch blows the castle to hell
23:47
that's all stage
23:49
12 so moving on into the 1950s it was
23:52
used for a famous Jimmy Stewart movie
23:54
called Harvey right and I know at this
23:56
point in the tour you're going
23:59
what does that have to do with horror it
24:01
was used for the interior of the Harvey
24:03
Mansion why does the Harvey Mansion have
24:06
anything to do with horror this is why
24:08
that's the same set the exterior of the
24:11
Harvey mansion on Colonial street right
24:13
on the universal Backlot does that top
24:16
of that house look
24:18
familiar psycho that was a stock set
24:22
stock unit set that was later you know
24:25
used for psycho as well um that when I
24:27
first started coming Universal that
24:29
house was there I can remember that as a
24:31
kid because I'm so
24:34
old and then moving on into the 1980s
24:37
again another musical the best little
24:39
hor house in Texas Dolly Parton and Burt
24:40
Reynolds the chicken ranch set for that
24:43
film was originally built inside stage
24:45
12 it was designed to open like a
24:47
dollhouse so they could film exterior
24:49
scenes and interior scenes and I know
24:51
what you're thinking what does this have
24:53
to do with horror house of a Thousand
24:55
Corpses well that set's still there kids
24:57
have you seen it sitting down on the
24:59
back lot at Universal we call it the
25:00
chicken ranch that's the same house Rob
25:03
Zombie turned into the house of a
25:04
Thousand
25:05
Corpses the reason that clown was called
25:08
sweet licks is because it's painted
25:09
right on that ice cream van didn't have
25:11
to change it uh it later became
25:13
Hollywood Harry's van it became Larry
25:16
larva's Van and this year it's getting a
25:18
complete
25:24
remodel self not to self this hasn't
25:24
been announced it's getting a complete
25:26
remodel for something I can't talk about
25:28
all right moving on or you know you can
25:30
imagine Boris carf having a toasty the
25:34
Bride of Frankenstein checking her
25:35
makeup in a mirror this is all stage
25:38
12 um this is Ground Zero for the
25:42
American horror movie right and it's
25:45
tied to so much film history so I hope
25:47
you guys appreciate it when you get to
25:48

ops okay thank you so much you have a is
34:51
that a pig head made out of a burlap
34:54

34:57
and that's going to do it for today as
34:59
far as the panels go notot Scary Farm
35:03
panel was really good didn't really
35:05
announce a whole heck of a lot they
35:06
didn't really unveil anything that was
35:09
completely geared towards announcements
35:12
of the park but always enjoyed not scary
35:14
farm kind of fun to sit in on that as
35:17
far as the hhn panel they announced a
35:20
lot Texas Chainsaw which is the 50th
35:22
Anniversary so Texas
35:24
chainsaw the original film The 74 film
35:27
was released one of my all-time favorite
35:29
horror films I think if you had to say
35:31
my my all-time favorite horror films
35:32
probably be original Evil Dead George
35:35
Romero's Dawn and Texas chainsaw and
35:38
then of course you can add in you know 7
35:41
8 10 12 15 more that are kind of like
35:43
right after that all kind of in the same
35:46
vicinity but I think you think of if I
35:48
had to pick my top three I would say
35:51
original Texas Chainsaw but they're
35:52
going to have all nine of the Chainsaw
35:56
franchise in that one maze did kind of
35:59
lose me a little bit with the
36:01
slaughterhouse stuff kind of kind of
36:03
going into the deep dieses how he's
36:04
researching slaughterhouses and kind of
36:06
went into all of that I was kind of
36:08
thinking ah hopefully the maze itself at
36:11
hhn is not going to be as intense maybe
36:14
just because he does John muray doesn't
36:16
go to a lot of detail of what stuff is
36:18
going to be like and when you get there
36:20
it's easily you can brush by it very
36:23
quick and I'm hoping those scenes are
36:25
not too intense as he was kind of
36:27
mentioning but I am looking forward to
36:29
seeing you know the Sawyer Family
36:33
Leatherface and the cas of characters
36:35
from not only the first one the second
36:37
one the Toby Hooper movies and then
36:39
after that 3 four five six seven I
36:42
believe it is there's been there's been
36:44
there's been a whole heck of a lot of
36:45
The Hitchhiker as well and then the guy
36:47
that bill Mosley plays when he's got the
36:50
got the little the scratch thing on the
36:52
head that character and then the
36:55
Luchador masks which are kind of like
36:58
almost like knockoff Universal monsters
37:00
they didn't call it the wolf man they
37:02
didn't call it Frankenstein they didn't
37:03
call it the other characters but
37:06
basically that was what the rendition
37:07
was coming out of one of the mazes on
37:10
the upper lot on French Street which was
37:12
pretty cool and get to go in The Sound
37:14
Stage that a lot of the universal
37:16
monsters were filmed at way back in the
37:19
day and they're going to have the female
37:20
versions of the universal monsters
37:23
really looking forward to that so
37:24
excited about hhn and I know you usually
37:27
they announce stuff here they announce
