The 2009 Eyegore Awards Ceremonies and Halloween Horror Nights
by: -RoG-

...CONTINUED


The 3D Simpsons ride is always a blast.
Also, I gotta thank I-Mockery fan Casey Nielsen who noticed us and brought us straight to the front o' the line!
Many thanks man!


Why pay the exorbitant prices for a photo of yourself on the ride,
when you can take a photo of the photo of yourself on the ride!


Into the Saw maze we go.


I didn't see him moving, but he was definitely alive.


Poor gal stuck in the furnace...


...and then she pops out the other end, cooked alive!


I believe this was the part of the Saw maze that creative director John Murdy thought might get him fired.


Hey buddy, in case of emergency, break the glass.


Drug addiction. It's never a pretty sight.


I'm sure she'll find the key in there sooner or later.


Face-Off 2: Electric Boogaloo.


The entrance to the live Bill & Ted's EXcellent Halloween Adventure show.


The show is about to begin...


Bill & Ted take the stage with a computer nerd.


Wolverine actually peddled up in a classic Green Machine.


As far as I could tell, Michael Myers' and his "Will Murder for Food" sign were the ONLY Halloweeny things about this show.


Unlike the recent movie, this Baroness actually knew how to speak in the proper accent.


Khan versus Kirk (well, Kirk in his "Priceline Negotiatior" years)


Wolverine and Myers fought for a while with no clear victor.


Michael Jackson emerged for the final dance number, but I honestly think most of the other
dancers were way more qualified to do the dancing than the guy who was dressed as him.


Something strange is afoot at the Circle-K. Catch ya later, Bill & Ted!


Somebody threw away some perfectly good body parts.


Yeah, I look this way too whenever I get a ticket because the parking meter expired.


"Gluttony" written in grease on the window of Mario's Deli.


At least we know they're selling quality products.


On my way out of the park I was flashed by this guy. A fine way to end the night by anybody's standards!


Even upon returning to your car, there's always the welcome sight of Frankenstein's monster.

And that pretty much wraps things up for Universal's 2009 Halloween Horror Nights. While I definitely missed seeing Freddy, Jason and Leatherface, the new mazes were all entertaining. The Life and Crimes of Michael Myers maze was easily my favorite and I was absolutely stunned that they dedicated an entire room to Halloween III: Season of the Witch. While it had nothing to do with Myers, it was really nice to see some love for a movie that was unjustly shit upon by horror fans for so many years. If you missed all of Doc Mock's interview footage from the Eyegore Awards last Friday night, it will be archived up online on docmock.com soon enough, so be sure to check it out. Thanks again to Universal for giving us full access to the park and the events once again this year. Hope to go again before the Halloween season is over!

That's pretty sad that in the picture of Doc Mock and Corey Feldman together, Doc Mock looks more sane.

Sounds like a great event, although the one near me in Orlando is probably no where near as exciting.

I think if Rob Zombie actually cracked a smile, Hell would freeze over and candy would rain from the sky. And who wants to be pelted by candy all day?

The Psycho home always looks amazing. They do such a good job with the lighting on that one.

Nice photo gallery again this year! Next to the candy review, this is the one I look forward to the most every year.

Looks like a good time. I'm willing to bet that Dock Mock is a much bigger celebrity than Corey Feldman right now. He should have interviewed you!

I'm kind of disappointed by the Chucky themed areas. Seems like instead of recreating any scenes from the movies, they just made random haunted house rooms and added a Chucky doll somewhere.

Yeah whoever thought of the chucky one should be immediately fired. Especially considering none of the chuckys even looked like chucky! Seriously, he's a doll. Since he's SUPPOSED to look all fake and shiny all they needed to do was make up some custom chucky dummies and it would have looked awesome. Also some relevance to chucky films would have been nice as well. At the very least the doll factory should have been represented. I mean a empty warehouse with a bunch of boxes. How hard would that have been?

My bloody valentine seemed pretty lame as well. While a decent horror film I didn't find it particularly scary especially considering I'm from WV and know for a fact that none of the mining related stuff in the film is in any way based in reality, including the stupid gas mask that miners simply refuse to wear. The dude would have stuck out like a sore thumb.

Seems like they recycled 75% of the set pieces as well. I'm guessing they are phasing out freddy because of the upcoming (and doomed I might add) reboot. The fact of the matter is, he should ALWAYS be there though.

Michael Myers looked fantastic though. I got a semi when I saw all the halloween III stuff in your pics. Also nice to see they completely ignored the rob zombie versions.

Seems odd they've never done a hellraiser one either. There's tons of realistic hellraiser gear out there so unlike the chucky attempt, they could have bought off the shelf items and actually ended up with a nice looking attraction.

Disney has owned Hellraiser up until 2005, when the Weinsteins took Dimension films with them when they left Miramax.

Not that it would be hard for them to do a Hellraiser maze- they had a lot of the hanging chain stuff like that in the WWE Undertaker maze they did around 2000-2001 and it worked pretty well.

Awww, every time you guys post something like this I'm always so jealous. The only theme park around here is six flags new england, and their idea of haunted house theming always seems to range from scary clowns to insane asylum with no creativity at all! Granted its still usually really scary when you're doing it, but afterwards you're not stunned by any great leaps of imagination or anything. A few years ago I got to go to Busch Gardens Tampa's Howl-o-scream and was blown away by how creative it all was. Even the least scary mazes were amazingly effective and while they didn't reduce people to tears there was plenty to talk about afterwards! Oh well.

I loved the Silver Shamrock addition to the Halloween Maze. That totally just made this super awesome. I mean I went to the one in Orlando 2 years ago when they had like the Friday the 13th, Dead Silence, Nitemare on Elmstreet, and it was a blast, but if they would have had anything with Silver Shamrock it would have made my day as well.

If I'm lucky, maybe some day that will be true. I have to say though, Corey is a really good sport and doesn't take himself or his work too seriously. Anybody who'll joke around with me in response to questions about a movie like Blown Away is aok in my book.

Nah, that place is always there year round. They just added Chucky into it to mix it up a bit. It wasn't a totally new maze like all the other ones were. If it was, then yeah, there'd be reason to complain, but since this is just their way of making a pre-existing maze more Halloweeny, it's fine.

You've gotta keep in mind that my photos are only a fraction of what you get to see in all of these mazes. The My Bloody Valentine one was actually very nicely put together and I definitely enjoyed it.

Yeah, there wasn't a SINGLE thing about the Rob Zombie movies in the maze, which made me extremely happy. And you just can't beat the Silver Shamrock room... that one had me absolutely amazed and truly made the night for me.

I love Howl-O-Scream! I used to go there all the time back when I lived in Virginia. You can check out my photos from visiting there years ago here: http://www.i-mockery.com/minimocks/buschgardens

Is it just me, or is the picture of Chucky on page 2 with the corpse with a hole in his chest, does Chucky look immensely retarded? It's kinda the face. I imagine him yelling "DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
