Quiet down and be sure to silence your phones (and your screams). Universal Studios is bringing the post-apocalyptic world A Quiet Place and A Quiet Place Part II to their annual Halloween Horror Nights event.The all-new chilling haunted house will be available at both the Hollywood and Orlando parks. The silent screams begin Friday, August 30 at Universal Orlando Resort, and Thursday, September 5 at Universal Studios Hollywood.
Universal is describing the haunted houses as “mirroring the silence in the films.” This means embracing unique sound design, special effects and of course, epic scareactors to bring the ominous sense of dread depicted in the films to life. An extra cool element being added to the mix: “Consequential to the storyline, Halloween Horror Nights will incorporate the use of American Sign Language (ASL) for the first time ever within the A Quiet Place haunted houses to capture the authenticity of the films.”
Considering the Abbot family’s mastery of sign language pretty much saving their asses and giving them an upper hand in the post-apocalyptic, silent world, it’s only fitting the houses would incorporate ASL. Check out the Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights A Quiet Place teaser.
A quick refresher on A Quiet Place:
Directed by John Krasinski and critically acclaimed for its suspenseful yet mostly silent storytelling, A Quiet Place and A Quiet Place Part II follow the Abbott family as they try to survive the aftermath of sightless creatures with a sharp sense of hearing that draws them to prey on anything that makes the slightest noise.
So what’s in store for us as we enter the world of A Quiet Place? Here’s the breakdown from Universla’s official press release:
Fans will relive the tension that will come to life in the iconic scenes from the first two films, including traveling through the farmhouse that serves as the Abbott family’s shelter and stepping into the root cellar where Evelyn Abbott escapes to give birth as one of the creatures closes in. The snarls of the larger-than-life predators will follow guests at every spine-chilling turn, and guests must remember: if they hear you, they will hunt you.
