A Quiet Place Haunted House Unveiled At Universal Studios

A Quiet Place movie

Universal Studios Hollywood's Halloween Horror Nights is set to feature a spine-chilling haunted house inspired by the hit movie franchise 'A Quiet Place.' This haunted house has been meticulously crafted over two years to deliver a truly immersive and terrifying experience for guests.

The unique challenge of translating the silent and tension-filled atmosphere of 'A Quiet Place' into a haunted house setting required innovative approaches. The sound design, a crucial element of the movie, was reimagined for the attraction. Instead of traditional large speakers, numerous small speakers were strategically placed to create a nearfield audio experience, enhancing the eerie ambiance.

To stay true to the film's narrative and characters, special attention was given to incorporating American Sign Language (ASL) elements. A pre-show video featuring ASL and open captions was created to introduce guests to the world of 'A Quiet Place' and teach them basic signs. Additionally, animatronic creatures and puppeted monsters were designed to bring the terrifying extraterrestrial beings from the movies to life within the haunted house.

As guests journey through the attraction, they will encounter key locations from the films, including the Abbott family's farmhouse and the tense basement scene. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the haunted house, from the newspaper cuttings on the walls to the flooded fruit cellar and the eerie train graveyard.

The collaboration with Universal Studios Hollywood's mechanical engineering department has allowed for the creation of intricate animatronics and special effects, elevating the quality of the Halloween Horror Nights experience. The haunted house culminates in a heart-pounding final showdown with the aliens, leaving guests screaming and laughing nervously as they exit into the theme park.
