“Universal’s Creature Features in 3D,” Universal Studios Florida, 1999.
One of the more regularly-used gimmicks in horror films is the use of “3-D’ imagery. Often utilizing a pair of cheap, plastic-and-cardboard glasses, films are shot and processed in a way that makes the finished product appear to leap off the screen towards the viewer.
Halloween Horror Nights has used this same gimmick from time to time. Some of the various 3-D houses through the years include Orlando’s “Universal’s Creature Features in 3-D” (1999), “Jack’s Funhouse in Clown-O-Vision” (2009), “The In-Between” (2011) and Hollywood’s “Rob Zombie’s House of 1000 Corpses: in 3D ZombieVision” (2010-2011). In 2012, both resorts featured 3D houses with “Alice Cooper Goes to Hell in 3D” and “Penn & Teller New(kd) Las Vegas,” and 2013 brought Universal Orlando’s “After Life: Death’s Vengeance.”
