With summer winding down, the Exploring Attractions YouTube channel has posted a behind-the-scenes video of Universal Studios' Ozzy Osbourne: Prince of Darkness haunted house for this year's Halloween Horror Nights. Set to open this Friday at Universal Orlando and September 3rd at the Hollywood, California park, the two immersive attractions are described as transporting fans through "iconic moments spanning more than four decades of music, imagery and storytelling" and create "a powerful new touch point for fans around the world." Inside the houses are scenes inspired by artwork from five of Ozzy's albums -- Blizzard of Ozz, Diary of a Madman, Bark at the Moon, No More Tears and Ordinary Man.
John Murdy, executive producer of Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood, says, "Ozzy Osbourne didn't just help define heavy metal — he created a cultural phenomenon that has influenced generations of music, art and horror. We previously had the privilege of collaborating with Ozzy, and this new haunted house is an opportunity to honor his extraordinary solo career... Guests will journey through the dark, surreal worlds that fueled his music and cemented his legacy as the one and only Prince of Darkness." You will enter a Gothic church or temple-like structure where you will see above you Ozzy's symbol. There's also a vision pool where you will see him on stage, and then you go into the dungeons where you'll also see him. And what haunted house is complete without a bat, which, in this case eats the head off a human. Lastly, there's a cemetery where you will see Ozzy as the werewolf, and the Crazy Train with Ozzy as the conductor before the attraction ends with him on the throne at his Back to the Beginning farewell concert. Both attractions will be open until November 1st.
