Universal Orlando is revving up its Halloween Horror Nights reveal season with a revival of an original IP.
Slaughter Sinema 2 will be one of the 10 haunted houses at this year's Halloween Horror Nights, which starts August 30 at Universal Studios Florida. The original Slaughter Sinema premiered during 2018's Halloween Horror Nights, inspired by the grindhouse horror flicks of the 1980s.
Like many of Orlando's original concepts, this house will be set in the HHN team's favorite town of Carey, Ohio.
"If you’re dying for a b-movie horror marathon, head to the Carey Drive-in. Scream through scenes from creature features, grindhouse gore, spaghetti westerns and more," Universal said this evening in its social media tease for the house.
Halloween Horror Nights starts August 30 and runs select nights through November 3 this year in Orlando. Tickets are on sale now, with five scare zones, live shows and select ride access set to join this year's 10 houses.

I love the original houses but don't think they need individual announcements. This makes me think their IP lineup will be underwhelming.
@MrTorrance, the appeal of IP houses is in the eye of the beholder, but the fact that an original house was the first one announced would suggest to me that they had initially planned for an IP to be announced, but for whatever reason it’s not happening now.

Crazy to think that it’s finally starting in August. I hope it doesn’t pull a Mickey’s Not-So-Scary and work its way up the month. The quality of the event begins seeing a decline towards mid-October as house effects start breaking down and scare actor energy is depleting.
