Universal's
House of Horrors Trivia
- The huge electrical transformer centerpiece of Frankenstein's
Lab is a prop from the movie Van Helsing.
- The Wolf Man's forest is made up of fake trees and plants
rescued from the E.T. Adventure queue area when it was removed.
- The animatronic Phantom of the Opera figure was formerly
a police officer in the E.T. Adventure attraction.
- There are 9 different smell generators used in the attraction,
including such delights as "Formaldehyde" in the Mother
room, "Dirt" in the crypt, "Machine Oil" in Frankenstein's
Lab, "Pine Forest" for the Wolfman and my personal favourite "Rot" in
the body bag room.
- Beside the decaying bodies in the Crypt you can just about
see a framed photo in each alcove depicting each person when
alive.
- There are three former happy forest animals from the E.T.Adventure
queue line (a bunny, an owl and a woodpecker) preserved
forever beside Norman's Mother.
- The signature "Monkey" of the attraction's Creative Director,
John Murdy, can be found in the Good Guys Toy Factory along
with Chucky.
