The Sinners HHN house will recreate the film’s 1930s Mississippi Delta setting and bring guests face to face with vampires Remmick, Bert and Joan. Universal said guests will also encounter characters from the film including Sammie, Mary, Annie, Pearline and Cornbread.
John Murdy, executive producer of Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood, said Universal is creating new ways to scare guests with the Sinners house. Mike Aiello, senior director of entertainment creative development at Universal Orlando Resort, said the film was an “undeniable fit” for Halloween Horror Nights.
