Zombies are the new vampires. The flesh-eating creatures are everywhere, and this year they’ll even be terrorizing park visitors during Universal Studios Hollywood’s annual Halloween Horror Nights. Universal Studios announced that hordes of groaning walkers will be part of “Terror Tram: Invaded by The Walking Dead” taking place this October.
Per Universal Studios: “Terror Tram: Invaded by The Walking Dead will expose guests to a legion of plagued zombies in the aftermath of the disease’s cataclysmic spread to the West Coast. The world of television fantasy will collide with grim reality when Terror Tram: Invaded by The Walking Dead pits guests face-to-face with a swarm of living corpses doomed to stalk Universal Studio’s famed backlot—the heart of the world’s most famous horror moviemaking studio.”
Announcing the flesh-eating horde, John Murdy, Creative Director, Halloween Horror Nights, said: “The Terror Tram is one of the most popular Halloween Horror Nights attractions since it’s the only time people can walk on the historic Universal backlot where the horror film genre was born. The juxtaposition of the backlot’s rural setting amid a small town devastated by a horrific plane wreckage complements the TV series’ sets almost to a tee and provides the ideal backdrop to showcase the ‘walkers’ from AMC’s The Walking Dead on a grand scale.”
Halloween Horror Nights begins on Friday, September 21, 2012 and continues on select nights through Wednesday, October 31. The dates are September 22, 28, 29 and October 5, 6, 7, 12, 13, 14, 18, 19, 20, 21, 25, 26, 27, 28 and 31.
