Universal Studios Japan’s official Halloween Horror Nights 2014 lineup has been revealed and it’s impressive!
Much like their American counterparts, Japan’s HHN is growing to include more movie-based properties, although they have focused on some of the uniquely Japanese franchises. This year’s event will see the return of Sadako, the vengeful spirit seen in the “Ringu/The Ring” film series. Sadako will “haunt” the park’s ‘Space Fantasy,’ ‘Terminator 2’ and ‘Backdraft’ attractions. Her long, black hair and buried-in-a-well motifs will also be included in some of the dining options at nearby restaurants.
Sadako will be joined by another Japanese horror icon: Toshio Saeki, the creepy little boy from the “Ju-On/The Grudge” movies. Toshio will be found in the ‘Back to the Future’ and ‘Jurassic Park’ attractions.
Not to be outdone, popular American horror mainstays Jason Voorhees (“Friday the 13th”) will return, and pint-sized slasher Chucky will make his Japanese HHN debut in his brand-new haunted attraction, “Chucky’s Horror Factory.”
The majority of the park will be patrolled by “Street Zombies” scareactors, and there may even be some “Super Zombies” and an occasional “Zombi Mob” in there somewhere.
Last year’s “The Dark Restaurant” is returning, and the popular “Biohazard: The Real 2” attraction will also be open during Halloween Horror Nights.
