The 2017 iteration of the annual Halloween event at Universal Studios Hollywood presented a themed entertainment experience centered around horror film and television properties. Attractions included mazes based on established intellectual properties, scare zones populated by costumed performers, and altered versions of existing park rides. The event took place over select nights in September and October.
This specific year’s presentation of the seasonal attraction holds significance due to its particular selection of featured horror franchises and its contribution to the overall history and evolution of the event. The specific intellectual properties chosen reflected trends in popular horror culture at the time and offered an opportunity to engage a broad audience with diverse tastes. Furthermore, it provided a platform for the park to demonstrate its creative and technical capabilities in immersive entertainment.
