Movie Review: Paranormal Activity 3

PAULOWEEN 2011: Universal Orlando Halloween Horror Nights XXI

This year, Universal is going to back to basics, primarily going with original concepts (save for one house based on the upcoming prequel to The Thing), including the event’s icon, Lady Luck. For those avoiding any specific details on the event, I’ll briefly summarize by saying that, while I wasn’t overly impressed with the scarezones this year (more detail on that after the jump), the houses this year were absolutely amazing in theming. Universal stepped up their game this year and created some truly memorable, exciting experiences that will impress you while trying to scare you. Definitely worth the price of admission, some of the houses are truly awe-inspiring. I highly recommend checking out the event this year. I do want to note, however, that due to the popularity of the event, I’d also recommend finding some way to attend more than once. One trip will leave you sorely missing out on some of the event.
