Part of my Halloween Horror Nights 23 (HHN) adventures
was taking the Unmasking the Horror Tour. This tour takes fans on a behind the
scenes look at their haunted houses. Our tour took us into 6 of their 8 houses.
I decided to break them each up into their own post in order to give a better
look at each of them. This is a behind the scenes look at the “The Cabin in the
Woods” house.
The above video is a series of photos that I took
while on the tour. What I will be doing now is describing some of the things
you saw in the video, so you might want to read this and then go back and watch
the video again. There is no better way to start a house then with a body
without its head. The representation of a now dead Jules is outside the house,
as the chaos has already started inside.
In the first room, on your left hand side is a couch
where a scaractor is yelling. In the pic above you can see a trigger they use
while standing on the couch. If he’s on your left, then you better bet there is
something scary on your right. You know that missing head? Well, a member of
the Redneck Zombie Torture family is standing there with the head. In the
video, you can see that the college students were having fun drinking before
the family crashed the party.
From there we travel into a bedroom. Seems like a safe
place to sleep, but at night another member of the Redneck Zombie Torture
family is standing behind that sheet in the background. On the other side, the
mirror might distract you. As we move along, you will start to see some
familiar things from the movie like the painting. Then there are dolls like
Raggedy Ann, and the Dead Silence doll that seems to appear in a house every
year.
Again, the zombies are hiding waiting for guests to
pass by. This time they are hiding behind the film you see. In the light you
might not think they are well hidden, but in the dark they are. We move on to
see the dollhouse, and some tools that the family used on their victims. Of
course, the family isn’t too far from their tools.
Then we move onto where the fun begins. I mentioned in
my look at the “Evil Dead” house how I liked how bloody it was. Well that was
nothing compared to this house. We see a dismembered body as guests are warned
not to go into the elevator room. You all remember that scene in the movie
right? The blood is everywhere as you saw in the video. It’s all over the
walls, and the ground. There are dead security guards in pieces all over the
floor. At night there are still some creatures hanging around the room to catch
people who are paying attention to the mess around them. I have to say I was
pleasantly surprised to see them go all out with the blood, and body parts.
We then move into a control room, where you see the
Merman on the floor. At night he does have water coming out from him. Up on the
wall you will see the famous board they used to place their bets with. You will
find choices like “Deadites,” Zombies,” “Hell Lord,” and “Angry Molesting
Tree.” Next is the break room, where at night you will find some creatures
hanging out by the snack machine. You will also find them having a snack on
that dead body. And don’t forget to watch out for the tentacles hanging from
the ceiling.
The fun isn’t over yet. Just like in the movie, we get
a look at some of the evil that roams the Earth. You will see some really ugly
looking creatures, and then some more familiar faces. One of my favorites is
the representation of “The Strangers.” As you can see in the video there is
space between the mannequin Strangers for a scaractor to stand. Of course I
tried to have a conversation with them every time we passed them at night. For
HHN fans, there are some characters in that room you might recognize like Jack
the Clown.
“The
Cabin in the Woods” house had similarities to the “Evil Dead” house, but it
wasn’t as focused on the characters as in the “Evil Dead” house. Here it was
more about the scenes and creatures, than the college students. There were some
good scares at night, especially from the Redneck Zombie Torture family at the
beginning. As you might have guessed, I loved the bloody mess. I was excited
every time we got close to the elevator room. I also liked the display of
creatures, and characters to end the house with. So that was a look at “The
Cabin in the Woods” house. If you have any questions about the house, or HHN,
please feel free to ask. Also if you want a better look at a specific pic from
the video just ask.
