BREAKING: Warner Bros. Studios announced HORROR MADE HERE HIATUS for 2019.
Last year Warner Bros. Studios hit the 2018 haunt scene with their drastically expanded HORROR MADE HERE EVENT that featured walkthroughs of some of their biggest franchises. Today, however, they sent out an email to avid horror fans that announced a rather sad turn for the event.
Thank you for being a Horror Made Here fan. It was a “frightful” pleasure producing Horror Made Here: A Festival of Frights and celebrating the Halloween season with you on the hallowed grounds of our backlot last year. For 2019 we are taking a break and will not be producing one of our signature events as we have exciting news to announce later this year for our Studio Tour.
This year, Warner Bros. has an incredible slate of Horror films for you to experience including New Line Cinema’s The Curse of La Llorona on April 19th, Annabelle Comes Home on June 28th, IT Chapter Two on September 6th, and Warner Bros. Pictures’ Doctor Sleep on November 8th.
Also, this Spring, a one-of-a-kind experience will creep into the city of Los Angeles for a limited engagement. Beginning on April 4th, the multi-sensory installation inspired by some of Warner Bros. Pictures’ and New Line Cinema’s most iconic scary movies will lure fans into artistic reinterpretations of the worlds of the first chapter in the IT saga, The Shining, Beetlejuice, The Lost Boys, and A Nightmare on Elm Street.

To say we are saddened by this news would be an understatement. HORROR MADE HERE was easily one of the best Haunt experiences from 2018 with the IT haunted house being a masterful recreation of the popular horror film. A close second there were the Arkham Asylum and Cam Crystal lake experiences. You can read our review here. The event had its flaws, but they got a lot more right than not.
It’s not that southern California is in need of more Halloween entertainment. We are, arguably the Halloween Capital of the world. It is just a shame to see an event that was so awesome to take a break. Now, the flipside here; This could easily open the way for WB Properties to appear at other venues. Could there be an updated La Llarona maze on the way for Universal or perhaps an IT Chapter 2 house? Who knows?
Regardless, we hope to see this event return in 2020.
