Two more lighting rigs are up at Universal Studios Florida for Halloween Horror Nights 33 and the first scare zone props have been installed.

HHN Lighting Towers

A sunny day at a theme park entrance with a large archway, palm trees, and a clear blue sky. A few people are walking towards the entrance, and banners and street lights are visible.

The two new lighting towers are located outside the entrance to Universal Studios Florida. They face the archway, so they will light the entrance and courtyard, giving the area a spooky ambiance.

Outdoor stage lighting fixtures set up on a paved area, with planters and decorative railings in view. In the background, there are trees, a building, and a blue sky with scattered clouds.

There are four rows of different-sized lights on each tower. They sit on black wooden bases.

Scare Zone Props

A collection of variously sized rusty barrels, large wooden planks, and a textured tree trunk-like sculpture staged outdoors in a landscaped area with palm trees and a clear blue sky.

The Central Park scare zone inside Universal Studios Florida is now decked out with props and set pieces. By the NBC Media Center are several “broken” boards, a random window shutter, two oil barrels, and a pointed craggy rock.

A corrugated metal and wooden fence, braced with wooden planks, spans between two trees in a park-like setting with buildings visible in the background.

Parts of the fence along the walkway are covered in more broken boards and nets. There are fake corrugated panels with holes in them, too.

Periodically throughout the scare zone are the ends of rowboats that appear to be disappearing into circles of water. The water is depicted with hazy circular bases.

Between a pair of sinking boats is a wooden catwalk structure. It looks like a dock but instead of water, some planters are underneath. Scareactors may stand on or hide below this structure.

Universal has only announced two scare zones so far: Swamp of the Undead and Torture Faire. They haven’t specified the scare zones’ locations, but this watery scare zone could be Swamp of the Undead, which has the following description:

In backwaters Louisiana, you unwittingly wander onto private property, where you’re swamped by zombies borne from the bodies of other trespassers who were killed and dumped in a nearby bog.
