Universal Orlando’s new theme park: Epic Universe is still about 3 years away from opening. However, many of the plans are starting to emerge, including hints of an awesome sounding new Classic Monster themed park.

They already revealed plans for the new Nintendo and How to Train Your Dragon theme parks. Now finally horror fans have a reason to get really excited with the news of a new Classic Monster themed land.

The Classic Monster park will usher in an area where monsters like The Hunchback of Notre Dame, the Phantom of the Opera, Dracula, Frankenstein, The Wolfman and others were popular. Now fans will be able to be terrorized by them while in the park.

Word is plans seem to include a sneak at how the make is up applied for horror movies and special effects. Various horror themed eateries and show, Bettlejuices Grave Yard review, and various haunted houses and other haunted related places to visit.

Talk about AWESEOME!

There’s a lot of talks about a new castle going into the land that is similar to Cinderella’s castle, but instead either Frankenstein’s or Dracula’s castle. There are also rumors of a village like setting where you can shop, eat, and play games and take part in various horror related things.

I was wondering if that might be part of the plan since Universal’s early history included successful monster movies and they have been trying to reboot them for a long while.

Now my GF will N O T do scary. So I’ll have to go it alone. But, as I live just 60 miles away, I will commit to be the PNF reporter on the ground once that park opens. I can go there and report back. Or, host a PNF Away Team who wants to meet there.

I'm hoping this is like Disney where guests can meet Mickey or a favorite Princess. I want to go to the new Universal Park and get my photo taken with Regan from The Exorcist! Oh, I hope they have a ride where you can sit on her bed - thumpity thump thump!

Classic monsters....memories...Do any of you remember the monster trading cards? I didn't care about baseball cards but had a huge collection of monster cards. I guess even then I was attracted to the strange and odd more than most of my peers. The only serial type TV show that I was hooked on was Dark Shadows. Angelique Collins was HOT!!! She was in the Running with Elli May Clampett for my number one...fantasy friend.
