Brief History on Slaughter Sinema Haunted House

The original Slaughter Sinema haunted house debuted at Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights 28 in 2018. It was based on various fictional B-Movies.

Guests entered the Carey Drive-In, where movie previews of the latest B-movies were shown across an old screen flickering. This set the stage for adventures into the films featuring sacrificial sororities, a ravenous swamp yeti, werewolf bikers, bloodthirsty children at a deranged kids’ arcade, and murderous barbers. As each 80's B-movie came to life, guests would try to avoid alien cannibals & more!

Fast forward to 2021 where guests revisited The Carey Drive-In during HHN 30’s Welcome to SCarey: Horror in the Heartland.This haunted house took you through the town of Carey, Ohio. As you went through the house, posters from Slaughter Sinema were on the walls of a hallway. This set the stage right before you entered the frightening Meetz Meats deli.
Pumpkin Gutz! was one of the featured movies in the original Slaughter Sinema house, & it lead to my favorite house: Wicked Growth: Realm of the Pumpkin at HHN 30.

Wicked Growth House
I love that some of Slaughter Sinema’s fictional films eventually became their own haunted houses, and HHN icons like Lil’ Boo, and the Pumpkin Lord eventually came to life too!
