SINIST3R & SURR3AL Lore at Halloween Horror Nights 33
Universal Orlando's official Halloween Horror Nights twitter account revealed the lore, giving us more information about these SINIST3R & SURR3AL.
According to the story:
"For 33 years, the screams of thousands of eager Halloween Horror Nights guests have been collected within the shadowy depths of Universal Orlando Resort. With each year that went by came a new set of frights for our guests to indulge.
All the while, their wails of terror festered beneath the billow fog up on the surface, forming a monstrous manifestation of the horror that lives within their hearts. An evil overgrowth that would spread its hellish grasp throughout every crevice of the park’s underbelly.
As the overgrowth expanded in size, its beating heart ripped a tear between our world and the vast universe of horrors that exists beyond our own; the never-ending void in which fear derives from.
Within that universe are two distinct realms – One fueled by physical pain while the other is plagued by psychological torment. At the helm of these worlds are two entities, SINIST3R and SURR3AL, who each embody the hellscapes they stand guard for."
During Halloween Horror Nights 2024, you'll come face to face with SINIST3R and SURR3AL in the Duality of Fear scare zone, where you will have to choose your path: the “visceral horror” of SINIST3R or the “unearthly terror” of SURR3AL.
